"So when Whitney was throwing a hissy fit and calling Cochrane the worst
person in the world for being "disloyal" to his tribe, even though they
had no alliance to him, she was being disloyal to her boyfriend by
hooking up with Keith."

I thought Lincoln's old glasses were cooler. The pair Peter got him just looked like generic unisex frames from LensCrafters. Maybe Peter knows Olivia doesn't cotton to the hipster vibe?

According to the "next time on Survivor™" previews Ozzy and Christine's RI challenge is going to be the "fishing pole" game, where they have to tie a bunch of sticks together to form a pole, which they then use to snag a key that's hanging on a post 15 feet away.

"I laughed out loud when tonight’s Person, Judge Samuel Gates, stared mournfully at a picture of his missing son while sitting at the bench in open court."

I still honestly wonder if the lack of respect for Mikayla (especially Brandon's Jezebel goggles) was due to her posing for Playboy. Maybe that tidbit somehow got out and damaged her in the other players' eyes.

Agreed, Coach is equivocating. Which I would peg as "dishonorable" behavior.

I don't get the whole "being dishonest = dishonorable player" thing. It's not just Coach and Li'l Hantz. Lots of players during previous seasons have repeated the same sentiment. It's an especially popular gripe during the final juried tribal council.

Regarding Broyles's superior… I suppose it could be a set-up for a future surprise reveal, but my initial interpretation was that Olivia was merely indicating the FBI director's name (but the writers wanted to avoid specifically identifying him as "Robert Mueller").

Tooth fillings aren't magnetic. Otherwise the world's MRI machines would all be kinda messy inside.

Fauxlivia was supposedly wearing a wig. Torv was "shifting" her hair back and forth in the bathroom scene to try to sell it, but it didn't read so well.

Oops, y'all beat me to it.

According to the Fringe wiki:

I certainly hope Brandon can use this experience as an opportunity to improve. But he needs to stop passing the buck to some outside supernatural force to fix his flaws. Look inside, dude. Look inside. "God helps those…"

Seriously, Redemption Island sucks. Hard. Bring back the reward challenges! Especially post-merge. They used to really upset the apple cart.

I hate to kick Semhar while she's heading out the door, but… every potential boyfriend should be given a transcript of her "poetry" to read before they start dating. "I would give birth to ten of his children without using any drugs to help ease the pain, and then I would give him one more, just because our love is

Totally agree about the redemption (sorry) of Coach. Someone must've had a serious talk with him back home about toning down the flaky. He doesn't seem to be annoying anyone. Progress!

Yup, P. Bear was trying to point out that Jim needed to worry because though he may be part of "the five", he wasn't part of "the three" and would eventually be dumped (something Jim has already acknowledged when he said he was "just barely" at the cool kids' table). P. Bear just didn't hammer the point strongly

Yup. The writers are employing the same trope they used on Lost. Time travel, universe switching, etc., don't "erase" what's already happened. They repeatedly said they didn't want to cheat the viewers in that manner. Regarding the immutability of changing the past they even had Walter state "what happened, happened"

Doubtful… they took pains to point out that the new shapeshifters were *humans* with mechanized modifications, not the 100% mechanical beings that were the original shapeshifters.
