So I watched the online after show from last week where Parvati interviews the booted contestant for an uncomfortably long time, and Sarah mentioned a lot of things that never occurred to me about her tribe, and it made slightly more sense that Kass would think she was on the bottom of that group. Sarah said she,…

Totally agree. It's Mellie's choice that Fitz doesn't know what happened, and she lives with that choice. Fitz is still totally a dick, but it's not his fault he doesn't know - the last episode when he kept asking Mellie what she ever sacrificed, he has no way of knowing she gave up a lot, and she's chosen that she'd…

I am so bummed I had the Pikitis appearance spoiled for me! I made the rookie mistake of being on the internet after it aired, but before watching the show. I can only imagine how amazing it was to see him show up out of nowhere and completely ruin any hope for Allison's humanity.

I guess it's lying by omission, but I do think she did it so that she could still support Fitz's political career and to try and carry the burden on her own. Cyrus told her as much in the flashback, she's no longer her own person, she's there to support Fitz and his goals. She probably wasn't giving what he wanted,…

Mellie didn't lie about her "libido issues" though. I don't know if you missed the flashback episode, but we're commenting about the issue so - spoiler alert - she was raped by Fitz's father around when the time her son was conceived, and never told Fitz. She then had a downward spiral trying to cope, and tried to…

I actually liked this episode. Abby's Olivia impression (and the fact that nobody respected her enough to care), progress finally being made in taking down B613, "Taken for Granted" (terrible and hilarious book title about her fake affair with Fitz), Reston getting exposed for being a jerk (but I found it interesting…

True - at least the South Pacific one was a result of some ineptitude dealing with a tribe member, but this and HvV were both just one person making an incredibly stupid decision that affects the rest of the game and I tend to find those harder to take. Definitely part of the game though. Allying with those prone to…

You know, after letting the show sink in, I really feel bad for all of Kass and Sarah's allies. They made the exact right moves, were able to get past Sarah's stubbornness, and would have been able to set themselves up perfectly by having a 6-4 majority and knocking out 2 enemy idols. And because Kass made a move that…

I love that Spencer and Kass have basically become an old married couple who can barely stand each other at this point. Spencer knew immediately it was Kass that flipped and their exchange afterwards was priceless, just watch how they talk to each other.

I say Gene.

Louise has shown a lot of kindness this season. She "took one for the team" by staying in the giant Tammy's head with Tammy so that Tina could be in the spotlight for a night. Tina took advantage of that, but it was still a kind gesture by Louise. Louise also accepted her classmate's bedwetting and showed an…

"Hold on, you hear that?"
"No."
"It sounds like an accordion but worse?"
"No, in your head."
"Nope, it's from downstairs."
"Nooo, in your head, upstairs."

The final five minutes of this episode were so devastating to me, it's still all I'm thinking about 4 hours after watching it. James was my favorite character, and I thought he'd probably die, but I could still live with that. I was disappointed in the first scene to see him get shot, but I could live without him, if…

I really appreciated the editing in this episode, I was genuinely surprised when I thought I had it figured out a couple times. At the challenge, when Alexis pleaded to participate, I was sure she going to screw it up and then get voted off, since usually when they show things like that, it's relevant to ultimate…

I don't know if it's just me, I am prone to shiv-based humor since my friend's cell phone has been auto-correcting her profanity to "holy shiv" for the past couple of years, which never stops being funny. But the scene where Jake and Terry talk to the injured inmate cracked me up so much. Every utterance of the word…

Santiago lapsing into song lyrics when she's nervous is something I really hope pops up again in the future.

"Have you heard of over brushing? Your aggressive technique has stripped away the protective enamel and much of your gum. You have seven cavities."
"I have to say, I feel like you deserve this."

I think Alex is actually one of the most believable characters, she's just not very likable right now. They give her so much snark and attitude, but rarely delve into her fears and anxieties. And having basically been Alex at that age, it's the anxieties that feed the attitude. When your family doesn't appreciate the…

They're all attractive people, I think them being "Beauty" is at least partially related to their life experiences or occupations. Jeremiah being a model, Jefra being a pageant winner, Morgan being a former cheerleader. That seems to be the largest decider in which tribe someone's on.

True. And their Plan A was to try and pull in Jefra to vote against Alexis, who she's close with and had no reason to vote her, which was a pretty bad idea. And she even showed some more willingness to vote LJ instead, but Morgan insisted on Alexis. Who knows if she would've actually done it, but Brice and Morgan…
