The funny thing is an alliance of 3 would have actually worked if he had actually Jeremiah with him. With the other alliance splitting the vote, if Jeremiah voted Alexis, she would've been out if in a 3-2-1 vote. It was an ideal vote for a 3 person alliance in a tribe of 6, but sadly it doesn't work if you think you…

"Raymond! Those slacks are a knockout! …Come on, Amy."

"Hand me the small dog, Santiago." Good to meet the small dogs' parent!

This has to be my favorite episode of the season so far and an easy A for me. Everything worked and each character shined. Santiago went through Holt's kitchen to determine that they make their own hummus and document it. Boyle got to make a connection with a famous foodie. Diaz meets a psychologist, and introduces…

Jon Huntsman was the only seriously electable Republican candidate in 2012, and the fact that the Republican party treated him as the major joke among the group (including Rick Perry, Herman Cain, and Michele Bachmann) gives a lot of insight into the party at the time. Huntsman would have had a good shot against a…

Rewatching the episode, I just noticed a great throwaway line that I completely missed the first time. Gina says her dad dropped the truth bombs when he took pain meds after his vasectomy was un-reversed. So that means her dad had a vasectomy, had it somehow reversed, and then another procedure to un-reverse it. Even…

"I can't tell if you're being serious."

Holt holding the two puppies for almost the entire episode just kept getting funnier every time he showed up. My favorite exchange was when he tried to guilt Terry into taking them.

It's an actual thing! It even has its own Wikipedia page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

I loved Linda's "Ooh they're gonna eat chili on spaghetti!" One of my best friends is from Cincinnati, and she has made damn sure that I know and understand just how much they love chili on spaghetti there, so it cracked me up that that was the distinguishing thing Linda knew about Cincinnati.

I am so happy that Linda's bit about the racoon king in the alley from last year led to its own story in this episode. "His name's Little King Trash Mouth. He's gay. He's got a boyfriend. They just got maaaried!" The whole episode I was waiting for his new husband to show up …Unless things got ugly and El Diablo was…

I get what you're saying, but I think that only addresses parts of what he said. Basically saying he didn't get the appeal of homosexuality and that it's a sin is one thing, but he also went in some strange other directions. He did kind of put gay people in the same group as terrorists and say they'll be judged by…

After a day of hearing people I thought were decent complain about the injustice that A&E perpetuated against this man, and how he should never be persecuted for being "Christian", I feel a palpable relief reading the comments over here. To read everyone discussing the issue with an understanding of the actual issues,…

I'm pretty sure it was a direct parody of "Work Bitch" by Britney Spears. Everything from the synth background to the lyrics were on the same page. Britney's song lists off things girls "should" want, like a hot body, and a Maserati, and says, "you better work bitch". Lisa Berger's attire also reflected what Britney…

Ciera has, at times, come off as astute and clever, and other times shown a lack of understanding the big picture. I didn't like her sell to Monica, at least as it was edited. She tried to convince Monica that Tyson was a crappy person who didn't like her, but she didn't give Monica an in-game reason why she was…

"Mr Mackey, I appreciate the point you're trying to make."
"You do? Okay, well, I'm not actually on the phone with a jelly school, Wendy, okay?"
"Yes. I'm-I'm a few steps ahead of that. Yes."

I think Ciera can win it if she can get to the final. She seems to have a lot of friends on the jury/Redemption Island, and she can definitely say that she made big moves and took control of her game. I think if Hayden gets back in and somehow gets to the end, he'd be hard to beat. Otherwise, I think it has to be…

I loved that Jeff spent the entire immunity challenge telling Ciera how terrible she was, and then she came from behind to win. I'd like to think Ciera dedicated that win to all the women that have been berated by Jeff Probst for their supposed weakness during challenges over the years.

And he was missing half a finger! I don't know if I'd trust that dude as my shop teacher.

At least we've still had the Silverman sisters. They provided the voices for the band Bad Hair Day last week. But yeah, a month is too long to go with no Andy and Ollie, if you ask me.
