Actually, Probst singled out Heidi Strobel as the highest IQ ever on the show. I'm not even kidding.

Agreed that she should have tried harder to throw that challenge and shouldn't have promised Kat she would take her, but she did a great job smoothing things over. I think the greats (and Kim is setting herself up to be an all-time great) get graded on a tougher curve, though, too. She's running one of the three or…

Who's ever lost due to a "bitter jury"? Rob in All-Stars and Coach last year are about the only ones I can think of. Other than that, the juries have always gotten it right, for me. Jury management is a huge part of the game; if you don't get people to vote for you, it's because you didn't get them to vote for you,…

The Marge stuff is truly painful, but the Homer-Burns golf subplot is better than you remember, featuring perhaps the single best Smithers-as-lickspittle moment ever.

Is their zebra also related to someone? Possibly a famous zebra?

So, wait, is that just what people in Liverpool sound like? I assumed that Hollie's voice sounded like that because she was British by way of Texas, and that it was the Tex mixing with the Brit in an unappealing way. If not, remind me never to go to Liverpool.

"my first thought was Focus, girl! They’re just balloons! Don’t let your neh-ves get the best of you!"Damn it, I mute the TV every time Hollie starts talking so that I won't have to hear her unbearably awful British-Texas accent. Must you remind me of it?

Ryan's attitude toward Dick Clark's passing has inspired me to make the following remarks.

Jessica and Hollie are prepubescent. Colton and Joshua are pretty obviously gay, and even Adam Lambert was never allowed to admit he was gay - this is a family show. Phil and Elise are in the "fans are going to want to have sex with you, and we want them to think they can" zone. Skylar…all of the above?

546 comments, and only a few dozen of them contain SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMSes? I am disappointed in all of you. I tried to order you a cake in honour of the end of our journey here, but they couldn't fit that many Is on a cake.

Thass what I like to know about it!

I don't know who that lady is, but I'd like to warm her cockles.
(…I don't think I understand the mechanics of heterosexual sex.)

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIMS!
(Sorry, I'm just practicing for a thing tomorrow.)

"Be a good Samaritan and take some time to congratulate David before arguing about the classic sitcom’s still-contentious finale."
1. Who the hell is "David"?

"Colton’s put a streak of red in his hair, making him look even more like a rooster than usual." I think he's looked exactly the same amount like a rooster every week.

1. B.B. Chez is the worst. I give her points for how hard she tried not to play along with JLo bringing up B.B. Chez.
"What's that alterego of yours?"
*horrified silence*
"You know, your alterego? Chez something?"
*mouth remains silent; eyes say, "Damn it, Selena, everybody hates my stupid "alterego", it already got me…

It's not only cruel, it's shitty play. "If you don't win immunity, I'm going to put you on the jury that votes on whether or not I get a million dollars! You stupid bastard, you're going on the jury that votes on whether or not I get a million dollars, because that's how much you suck!" You'll notice that while…

I don't think she needs a goat. Especially with Chelsea and Kat antagonizing Troy tonight, I think Kim wins 9-0-0 against the two of them. Goats are useful if you absolutely need them, but if you can beat the people in your alliance, it's better to (see: J.T. taking Stephen).

Funny—-I'm rooting for Kim to figure out that Sabrina is the only threat left and make a move on her as early as possible. Like, say, F7 - assuming Tarzan goes next week and Troy has F7 immunity.

We can have both. Troy is a great antagonist, and he'll keep mixing things up until he gets voted out. Even if he doesn't win or fundamentally change up the game, he'll make for drama. I think Kim will be our first winner in a while who has to scramble for the win.
