The saddest part of haysoos's list is that the band on it that Americans are likeliest to have heard of is The Tea Party, who briefly got famous earlier this year when the batshit-crazy political movement of the same name tried to buy their domain name. They got a lot of US press, mostly making fun of them for calling…

haysoos, I like your taste in music, but are you 15? Music from the '90s (like most of the acts you've mentioned) is not "classic rock". It's rock, it's "classic" in the sense that it's really good, but nothing that happened after I hit puberty can be "classic rock". It just can't. The only act you've mentioned that…

I agree about the absolute terribility, and I think current Simpsons falls into that category too. Which begs the question: why are we watching these atrocities? Damn you, FOX animation!

What was the tune Lois played on the sax? I feel like I was supposed to know it. Some '70s TV theme?

That's an interesting idea, that Hatch walked around naked in order to "intimidate" the rest of his tribe. I've never quite understood why intimidation works so well on Survivor—-if there are six of you and one of him, and he's trying to intimidate you, you don't react by being intimidated; you react by VOTING HIS…

Goodbye, Norman!

"Is she a man?"
"Are you?"

Is "Ozzy Mendoza" something that's been around, or did you just come up with it? I love it the very most. I wish to marry "Ozzy Mendoza". Not the guy on the show, but the concept of calling the guy on the show "Ozzy Mendoza".

We finally got Drones! Oddly, MTV Canada did a mini-B&B marathon on American Thanksgiving, and Drones worked its way into the rotation. I kind of wish it hadn't, actually. Not a single laugh except for "You've watched three seasons of this show and learned nothing!" / "Yeah, I need to watch 'em again." Which had…

It might've been too much if the parents had seemed intrigued ("Hmm…Bungholio."), but I think it would've been hilarious.

So you're the man who didn't know if he had a pimple or a boil. It was a Gummy Bear.

Wait, what's this about "the season’s end"? " the best and most hilarious episodes may have been saved for last"? Last? What? When is the season ending? Will there be another season? Don't tell me there won't be new B&B every week for the rest of my life.

You're not misremembering. Late-game reward challenges made this show for all the reasons you discuss - the breaking-plates challenge, the who-are-you-going-to-take-with-you drama, etc. The reward challenges themselves are usually boring, but the drama they create is irreplaceable.

Albert's interest in currying jury votes is maybe the most annoying thing I've ever seen a player I otherwise like do. At this point in the game, his only concern re: the jury should be staying off of it.

I would also bang Sophie. Let's all of us bang Sophie.

Albert won me over completely when he so smoothly tried to sell Sophie on doing what's best for "us" in the long-term. It's a remarkably simple technique, but one that only the best Survivor players seem able to pull off: tricking allies into believing that, in a game where one person gets $1,000,000 and everybody…

That's a good point about why Albert didn't go gunning for Coach. That seems, to me, the obvious move at this point. Returning players are at such an advantage in this game—-I don't understand why everyone's letting them have a free ride. If they understand that Coach is trying to take goats to the end, why take out…

Agreed. Where I come from, Canada, all of these words are pronounced with short "o"s. "Don" and "Dawn" are pronounced the same. Everybody on the show seems to pronounce "Dawn" like "Don", too. I'm confused about how Ohioans, Indianans, and Illinois…sters would pronounce "Dawn". Like "down"? Talking is hard. :(

I prefer to listen to Cheap Trick.

Money gets you one more round. Drink it down, you stupid clown. Money gets you one more round. Then you're out on your ass. *falls* Ow, my back.
