Hildy the lunch lady was hilariously terrible. I loved that she had unique terms for things based on how they were relevant to her, calling the kids "food holes" and what appears to be a brownie a "black and white bar". Oh and also, she grabbed that kid's nose with tongs and wouldn't let go! I hope we get to see her…

I just noticed that as the field reporter is giving his report after Black Friday, Randy is sneaking out of the mall past all the corpses with a brand new TV in the background. He did get his deal after all! Buzz buzz

It is actually real(ish) Japanese. It's not very good Japanese, but it does have a meaning, though there's not really anything extra to be learned from it that isn't revealed in English. My main takeaway is that they all think Princess Kenny is super cute.

I did appreciate that they didn't pick a side due to any reason related to the systems. Xbox "won" only because Bill Gates killed the head of Sony, and the kids ended up not being into their new systems largely because of it. So it was about as neutral as they could have gone if they had the kids end up with one…

Peele absolutely sold the pawn shop sketch. He perfectly delivered his increasing exhaustion with Key's incredibly obvious and terrible plan, while staying entirely above the ridiculousness. It was amazing to watch him tell Key his entire plan while Key looked absolutely horrified that he had been found out. And then…

Yeah, that was kind of the most boring possible outcome. She was already at the bottom and looked like she'd be out soon anyway. If Tyson was out, then that changes the entire game, and if Ciera is out, then she basically just voted herself out. With it being Katie, it didn't really change anything except Ciera's…

Agreed that Caleb and Hayden misplayed it. They had Katie, so they only needed one more vote, and they could take out Ciera. And out of the other four, Paranoid Monica was probably their best bet. It was telling that she was the only one of the four to compete in the immunity challenge. I thought they could have…

Amy: I can act out too, you know.
Rosa: Please do.
Amy: Okay…watch this.
*takes a shot, throws the glass, and destroys the bar*

Yeah, you're right, I guess I'll go back to hoping she gets voted out soon, preferably in some really comical fashion. It's been a while since someone's tried to play a fake idol, I'd totally be up for Monica going out like that.

You know, I hadn't thought about it, but now I kind of want her to make it to the final tribal just to watch the jury tear her apart.

Yeah, in episodes where Cartman is just incredibly terrible and gets his way for the whole episode, I always enjoy it when he gets his comeuppance at the end, as a way of balancing it out. Like in Human CentiPad, he gets struck by lightning, or in Breast Cancer Show Ever, Wendy beating the crap out of him.

That's actually a pretty interesting question. It's been a while since I've seen some of the older seasons, but one that sticks out to me as skill more than luck Aras on Panama. Being younger, athletic, and charming, he was probably going to get far regardless of the circumstances. He was able to get along in all…

I know it's early to be reading too much into how the season's actually going to shake out, but I am really liking what Aras is doing so far. He really has a knack for keeping control of the situation, without anyone noticing that he is keeping control. I mean, he somehow kept Casaya together after the merge in…

I totally had a problem with them judging Jessie on leaving something she had worked on out of the dish. They're supposed to be judged entirely on what they present, what was left on her station should have been irrelevant. It's always about "hands up!" and whatever you have on the plate is what you're being judged…

I really wish these episodes had been separated, so that I could have enjoyed the time we spent with Jessie, but no Krissi. It would have been nice to have a Krissi-less night before the finals. Ah well.

I seriously enjoyed Luca and Jessie colluding together to bring about the demise of the other contestants. I'd really like to see them become a super villain duo in some form or another.

Screw you, show. You eliminate Bri once because she excelled, and was "rewarded" the position of team captain, which led to her getting the inferior team and losing. Then you bring her back, give her 1 episode to allow her to excel enough to be "rewarded" as a team captain, and her team loses (according to the edit,…

This episode just felt like a giant F You to Bri for winning last week’s Elimination Challenge. Being Team Captain isn’t always a great deal - though it was pretty nice that time Jessie got to make a team of everyone she wanted against everyone else - but Bri had it even worse than I’ve seen. Usually the top dish of…

Zapp wasn't in the episode for too long, but he was in top form while he was.
"At night it's called the moon."

I already had a positive opinion of Bri before this episode. But after Bri tore into Krissi, she became one of my favorites - if not on a culinary level (where she has seemed impressive regardless), at least on a personal level. And even more so, as Krissi responded to Bri with aggression, and remarked in her…
