It sounds like a bad idea to me. I think a good contestant has a balance of all three, assuming beauty is supposed to translate into social skills. If there are people on each team that have the same strengths as the other teams, it defeats the point of the premise; if the players really are one-dimensional, then I…

They are dysfunctional people in a dysfunctional relationship, and until recently, the show has not presented it as anything but that. They are also good friends (The mutual pants-wetting was my favourite gag) and they have grown as a result of their relationship; however, it is troubling that they stay in such a bad…

That is a good point. Sheldon's ability to speak his mind (and the minds of others) is exactly Leonard's weakness, just as Sheldon lacks Leonard's empathy. They really do complement each other, but I don't think that came across in the episode.

I though it was a bit much, but I will say that her midriff is very impressive.

i agree that the fantasies were meant to demonstrate how the characters have grown; however, I believe they also demonstrate how little the show itself has grown. Parading Kaley Cuoco's breasts is not something the show has outgrown (though we rarely see her in such an extreme state of undress), Raj and Howard being a…

I think the Blood vs Water thing has really limited the strategic element of the game.

It seems to me that the writers were attempting to address two persistent problems with the show, and I am not impressed with they way they handled either one. The first problem is Leonard's attitude towards Sheldon. The writers chose to focus on Sheldon's purported loyalty and trustworthiness, when Professor Proton…

That's true of everyone, though. You can't just bring an obvious partner into an alliance.

That leaves Katie as a question mark. If she can't get Tina to jump ship, I don't know where that would leave them. Hayden and Kat might be in a similar position. We know that Kat is not part of the main alliance, but she might not realise that.

I suspect that the carrying-wooden-planks challenge was a deliberate decision on the part of the producers to give Brad an advantage over Candice.

The point is that the Nick from the first season and the Nick from the third season are essentially two different characters. That works for shows that are pure comedy, but it takes all the dramatic heft out of New Girl.

I feel the same. The earlier seasons were so strong because the writers had such strong characters to work with. We knew a lot about Nick and Schmidt, and they were the best-written characters. Early in the first season, Jess was the weak link in the show, because we didn't know where she was coming from, or where she…

I am going to make a longer entry on this, but Nick went to law school. What happened to that?

I agree that they were not going to vote Caleb out that night, but he obviously did not trust them enough to get behind in the numbers.

I think they are just going to take all of the comfort items and make a fort in the jungle.

Except they didn't do anything for him to be a poor sport about. Brad made an alliance, then openly schemed against members of his own group. He broke the covenant. He just wanted them to say that they were not mad at him.

A strong case against the Hidden Immunity Idol, I think.

I think it is wrong to say anyone is running that camp. There is a difference between running things and waiting to take out the figurehead. Vytas went along with voting John out, and he did nothing to make sure Caleb knew they were still solid. After that surprise, I think Hayden is the only person Vytas thinks he…

I think that's why Jeff was trying to keep him in the game.
