I just have to say I unabashedly love the Heshy sketches. Her mannerisms are so specific, I get the vibe Nasim based it off some really odd speaker she was once subjected to. I love her two handed move she does every time she starts walking, and the moves to the sound effects always crack me up. The first one…

Does anyone know what would have happened if Kass and Woo stuck with the plan and we got a 3-way tie? On the re-vote, only Spencer, Kass, and Woo would be voting, and they said they planned on all voting for Tony, so that would be 3-0-0 after the re-vote, but Tony would then be saved by the Tyler Perry idol,…

I don't think Tasha would've gone home if they stuck to the plan, if my understanding is correct, which is why I was so excited for it to work. Tasha, Tony, and Trish all couldn't vote in a re-vote, so it'd be Woo, Spencer, and Kass all voting for Tony 3-0. But Tony has the idol to save him from that, so then who goes…

Watching all the behind-the-scenes video on CBS's website, I'm amazed by how different the narrative was compared to what we were presented on the show. Jeremiah was apparently one of the biggest strategists, and also the most likable person on the show - it doesn't show on the actual show, but watch him talk with…

Agreed. I'm not getting a Tony winner's edit (and also I think he made a bad call that could seriously hurt his jury votes this episode), and Woo and Kass have no chance. Of the other 3, I think either Spencer or Tasha wins if they make the final, and Trish could win if they don't. I like it not being obvious who wins…

True, unless he were to get arrogant and opt not to use one if he felt safe. He probably couldn't have had 2 regular idols at this point in the game without the special idol's existence, since after the merge the producers tend to keep it at 1 idol in play at a time, and the special idol was added on top of the…

I said "not even mentioning any luck in finding the special idol" because that's not what I was talking about. Anyone who can find an idol without clues, good job, you looked in the right place before anyone else, so I can't chalk that up to luck. I was referring to the fact that he was lucky the idol existed for the…

It's kind of frustrating as a viewer that Tony's luck manages to get him out of any trouble bad playing should get him into. He's lucky that his season is the season of the overpowered idol (please don't ever do this again, one season is enough), and he's lucky that he pulled the black rock instead of Spencer, not…

"Hi mom. Ready when you are."
"It's Tina."
"Tina your daughter. Tina."
Tina texts exactly how we would have expected her to text.

I loved this episode! Definitely an A for me. At first, I was worried that Louise would torment her parents for the whole episode, and that they'd be genuinely afraid because who isn't scared when their kid runs away. It was such a relief that they knew where she was most of the episode and were on top of it. It was…

Even though she's kind of a psychotic killer, I can't help but sympathize with Helena. She's raised by people who think she's an abomination, trained to kill people who are identical to her, thinks she makes a real bond with Sarah, nearly gets killed by Sarah, and then she's finally freed from Tomas' influence, but…

"The moment you get rid of someone in this game that is annoying you, you screw yourself." Kass really actually told Jefra that to keep her from flipping, we have video proof. Kass. My brain imploded at that point.

My favorite part about the gun deal with Ramon was that once she'd finished the deal, Alison asks him, "So how's your mother?" So she probably found her gun/drug dealer because he's the son of someone she knows, and that's exactly how I would expect Alison to find a dealer.

Sarah may have told the brains alliance once she was aligned with them. I really like the idea of Tony still lying about his profession and not realizing every single person already knows, so I'm just gonna tell myself that.

I appreciate all the close cuts to Jefra during tribal council when the votes are read. She's always SO surprised!

Y'all need to check out the Producer's Cut version of this episode over on Hulu. Or at least the first two minutes, which include Perd Hapley performing slam poetry, which is exactly what you'd expect it to be.

It's not just the character - Bellamy Young is arguably doing the best acting on the show. I'm still amazed by her performance the previous week when Fitz is grilling her asking her anything she sacrificed for him - you can see Mellie's layers of defense give up as she is desperate to tell him the truth, and as every…

I briefly forgot Cyrus was a monster when James died. This episode reinforced that yes, Cyrus is a monster, and James was his only hope at salvation, but he chose the politics over a normal personal life. With James gone, Cyrus has no more reason to be anything but a monster, so he might as well embrace it.

I will be so bummed if Sally Langston's last episode is this season's finale! Her particular brand of crazy has been so incredibly fun to watch - her call to Cyrus after murdering her husband "I have committed a sin" and that incredible "piggy piggy" rant she gave in debate prep were a whole new kind of crazy intense…

Naw, Liv totally figured out Fitz's dad raped her. It's easy to forget how genius Liv is supposed to be given how she approaches her personal life, but she clearly realized that being Mellie was done being "nailed to" a cross like Big Jerry after Mellie's speech about the secret she's hidden for 15 years. Liv wouldn't…
