Huh huh. You said "obscene".
…wait, scratch that, they wouldn't know what that means.
Huh huh. You said "goes to bed."
No, that's a little on the nose.
Huh huh. You said "is where it".
I'm going to keep working on this. I'll be back in a few hours.

I am so disappointed to learn, thanks to this comment, that that is not something Beavis made up.

They did one last Sunday, too.

It's relative, is the thing. Old episodes were jam-packed with genuine comedy that ranged from the highest to the lowest of brows. Virtually every line was funny, virtually every plot was clever and satiric, etc. Whereas in modern Simpsons, once in a while Homer will spout some weird non sequitir or language-mangle

And despite your tender age and unfortunate surname, you've already achieved the rank of professor? I have much to learn from you.

It's Hamid. As Beavis taught us in Tech Support, you spell that "Ha…mid." And his boss at the car dealership called him "Ham-id".
I'm a little annoyed by the reuse of Hamid in a new job. This show is better than latter-day Simpsons, and Hamid is better than Gil Gunderson. He's only been working here a short distance.

Remember when Russell took Natalie and then Sandra to the finals because they were "useless" and no one would ever vote for them, and then both beat him easily? People out there aren't necessarily the best judges of who's playing the best game, *especially* when they're arrogant jackasses like Albert and Sophie who

Yes, literally fourteen. I think his gameplay's been perfectly fine - it's his edit that's sucked.

I really don't like Sophie, but agreed 100% about Rick. If you cast the same people, minus Coach, where are Brandon and his daddy issues going to go for a father figure? Rick would have won this season instead of being completely invisible. It's sad, especially given that he applied to be on the show, what, fourteen

I don't remember who it was or when it was, but very early in that season, didn't some random pre-merge boot say something like, "I'd rather JT win the million dollars than me!"? You've known the guy for two days, and you'd rather he have a million dollars than you? JT was perhaps peerless in his ability to charm

Winner of Survivor: China. In his many, many confessionals, he was like an adorable gay elf version of Russell Hantz—-constant talk about "I'm running this game! I'm so strategic! I'm the only strategic thinker out here, and I'm running this game with all of my strategy!" Outside of confessionals? Other than Survivor

"It's the moves Sophie hasn't made that define her game."
But…Rick's not made those moves, too.

In the seasons I've seen, nobody's ever made it this far into the game with this little camera time per episode, never mind winning. Even Brett from Samoa, who got no camera time pre-merge and only survived to F4 because of an immunity run, finally started getting attention late in the game, because, hell, this guy's

Is that what happened in Palau? I've only seen that season up to approximately the merge, but Survivor lore always says that Tom bullied Ian into quitting in order to keep *his* friendship. Man, I've got to watch that season. So many seasons, so little time.

I agree with every word this post said about this season, but: you say that *JT* won as a "fuck you" to the frontrunner? Who, in this version of events, was the frontrunner? If by "frontrunner", you mean "the person who controlled the game/seemed likeliest to win throughout", then JT in Tocantins is the definition of

The closest thing I've ever seen to an Albert is Todd Herzog, who never shut up about his strategic brilliance and who never backed it up, but was at least smart enough to get into a tight alliance with an actual strategist who bombed in front of the jury and handed him a win. Albert couldn't even manage that.

I don't understand how Rick is an "idiot". He's in the final four (plus Ozzy) and is the only one nobody wants to vote out. Also in that final four are two domineering jerk returning players, a would-be strategic mastermind who has never made a successful move, and Sophie, who's played exactly the same game as Rick,

It was definitely in her best interest to vote out Brandon, but that doesn't make him the biggest threat to win the game. Telling Coach that that's why she wanted to vote Brandon out was smart gameplay, but saying in a confessional that Brandon is a threat to win the game is the single stupidest thing any Survivor

The only two differences between Rick and Sophie are, a)., Sophie was on the wrong side of the Mikayla boot, probably costing herself with Brandon and definitely with Edna; and b)., Sophie pops up once every three weeks to give a snide confessional, whereas Rick is never on the show at all.
