Also, the Phoenix mercs weren't nearly cartoonishly evil enough. A guy in a wheelchair gets stuck in front of their convoy and they don't just run him over? Real life US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan would have plowed right though him without a second thought.

I love the scene where Jim first walks into his house after the occupations and the three kids are all literally just staring off into space waiting for the protagonist to walk into the scene and get the scene started. 

When he seemed bummed that Weaver killed the Brontosaurus I expected them to shoehorn one into this episode.

Well, he was the first member of the Jury. I don't know how far ahead they filmed this season so that might not have mattered.

I think the editors did a good job of making it look like Sophie didn't buy into Coach's (or Adam Sandler's) cult of personality.

Brandon voted for him.

Since Disqus is horrible and I can't reply to Sunspear: Brandon, Edna, and Cochran voted for Coach.

I see a lot of hate here for Fabio that I don't understand. I wasn't reading reviews here at the time, but IIRC, he and Marty were the only people I didn't hate that year. He was likable, funny, and good at challenges and at camp. Not every winner needs to be  a Yul or Boston Rob.

RE your second bullet: remember we're talking about the people who gave RUSSEL the player of the year twice.

Ozzy's regret was NOT giving Cochran back the idol post merge. Thus, not giving him a reason to stick it out to the rocks.

Taylor's son's talk of throwing Skye's mom(do either of those characters have names?) would have been hilarious if a Cage or Walken or Busey had delivered it.

Only a C? This episode was great, Zoe didn't have a single line.

That ending: the first time Jason Sudekis has ever been funny? maybe.

This. Has anyone in this show's history done anything as repugnant as Coach finding the HI, not telling Brandon for a couple of days, then pretending to pray to God to find the Idol to trick Brandon into thinking he could trust him?

In Fans v Faves Eric gave the immunity necklace to the lady with the weird face and was immediately voted out.

If you can't run a spreadsheet, I'll see you in Exhell.

You can't use the HI to get to the final 3.

Eww, people like you are the reason we get nothing but recruited models and actors on the show anymore.

How quickly we forget Fans vs Favorites. This might work if they could actually convince people that aren't horrible/boring to return. Was anyone really clamoring to get Amanda back?

it seems like everyone has been hellbent on making these last 5 episodes as boring as humanly possible. And damnit, if they aren't going to vote out anyone who even hints at making this interesting again.
