It's on Youtube now.

I really like the Political Gabfest.  Have a feeling it's one of their older ones, but really well done (especially when the regular hosts are all present.)

Once you've watched Rachel Maddow, why would you listen to Olbermann again?  She's smarter and funnier and sticks up for progressives without making you feel embarrassed to watch her.

This is a really well written piece. Very much enjoyed it.  Thanks.

This was not very good.  And Spectacular Spider-man was SO good.

If this works, Eddie Murphy can be in a whole lot of other sequels to movies from the '80s…

It would have had more drama, no doubt.  But it would also make me hate the show for casting such an a-hole.  And also hate the current cast for going along with him.

I did not miss Colton.  Yet that was boring as can be.  The breaking into more tribes was pointless and once it became clear it was Jonas next, there was no drama to be had.  Watching crazy Tarzan do his thing, while less infuriating than watching small-minded snob Colton, wasn't particularly entertaining.

I kind of wonder if the main characters were as racist as they are sexist if it would be unwatchable for modern audiences?

Yeah, great job!  In terms of other sites (like Slate) that do a great analysis of the show, there is always the great Alan Sepinwall.

Dramas like Law & Order and CSI you can jump in anywhere (although probably miss some nice little referecnes here and there.)  This one you can't.

They kept using that kind of cheesy TV drama score I remember from the 70s on shows like Charlie's Angels (although probably used in the 1960s too.)

Trudy doesn't help him be any less neurotic, as she had that speech about dissatisfaction being the fire that keeps ambition going, or some such.  That's not really helping him be happy with what he has.

Ken Cosgrove!  He's the best. 

Seriously, dude, what's with the hate?  She's a really cute, hilarious, talented actress who seems nice in the interview.

Can watch Mattera make an ass of himself here (I like how he says he was punk'd but he did it all to himself.)

My favorite non-REM Peter Buck moment is his playing the solo at the start of "I Will Dare".

Yeah, I'm thinking its Kim and Jonas in the finals (he gets there on Colton's coat-tails.)  With Kim taking it all.  She's definitely my favorite.

Yeah, I didn't think Michael did a thing wrong except miss some open shots at the basket.  It was a physical challenge and he played competitively.  He didn't knock someone out of their wheelchair.  He just pushed people into water.

Well, many Latinos are white, as it's an ethnicity (or really a general term for a lot of ethnicities) and not a race.   Latinos come in all colors.   And all sizes.  Although the women with the lighter skin and larger breast sizes tend to be on the novelas.  Go figure.
