And my favorite part of his exit routine—"Nah, I don't think I'm going to hug anyone else…"

All I can think about when Carter gapes and silently stares his way through each episode is what the fuck did his audition tape look like?  Does he sometimes make noise when not on the show?  It just boggles my mind that he was selected to be on television.  Even Jeff ignores him at Tribal.

I…think I was watching the same show as you, since I said the same thing—that Penner isn't reading the room and is killing me because he's tanked his game.

That could certainly be—but the glee that he took in her breakdown makes me suspect the worst.

I already mentioned this elsewhere, but do you think he's focusing too much on the jury votes at this point?  I mean, he killed his game in Cook Islands by getting labeled as a liar and a snake by basically every other player, so I'm thinking he might be trying too hard to avoid that this time.  But you can only be so…

Probst desperately needs to shut the fuck up.  I get that he's there to stir the shit, but when he started feeding Abi all that "cultural differences"nonsense I just wanted to slap him.  He seems obsessed this season with leading the vote and creating his own little narratives.  I am just ready for him to be gone from…

I think he got hurt in Micronesia—I've never seen a player look so gutted to leave.  He really does play this game hard.

That was just incredibly entertaining.  Every time I get to the point with Survivor where I question why I'm still watching all this nonsense, they pull out an episode like this and I'm stuck again.

Wow.  I'll join the chorus and say that I think the best episode of the series, ever.  Maybe I've just gotten to the point where I love the show so much that I'm happy to watch the characters just talk and talk for a while, and to see everyone laid bare like that—even Malcolm—was riveting.
