-I love how everyone just gets to Redemption Island and bitches about Brad running the game, when Brad wouldn't be running things if they didn't allow him to in the first place. How is this hard to understand? Even Brad himself told John it was stupid of him to trust him. Granted, that line ended up backfiring on

The episode was going to be titled "Kudos," but it was between that or "One Armed Dude and Three Moms." When the latter won, Mark Burnett shot an angry glare at Jeff Probst, who simply said "Don't blame me, I voted for Kudos."

It was definitely a great tribal, and it introduced the very real question of to what extent Caleb has actually changed the game. Did he upend the power dynamic, or did he simply move up a plan that had always secretly been in the works? I can't imagine that the Locker Room alliance didn't plan on voting out Brad at

World is destroyed, but Redemption Island remains unharmed, leaving the Codys and Brad Culpepper to repopulate the Earth.

It was set up for this to be one of the boring, predictable tribal councils where an inevitable boot pick is booted.

It's never been more clear that Colton just doesn't deserve Caleb.

Grover Cleveland spanked me on two non-consecutive occasions!

Jealous. All we get here is "The D'oh-cial Network" and "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bangalore". ALL THE TIME.

You there! Fill it up with petroleum distillate, and re-vulcanize my tires, post haste!

We're going up to the bluffs to paint "Springfield sucks" in huge letters. That way, whenever they look into Shelbyville, they will realize that they suck.

"People, our search is over. On this site we shall build a new town, where we can worship freely, govern justly, and grow vast fields of hemp for making rope and blankets!"

My favorite movie of all-time. No lie.

Truth.

They call me "The Estes" because I'm always undermining everything my loved ones try to do out of self-interests even I don't fully understand.
