Am I the only Game of Thrones fan that isn't going to miss Jon Snow at all? Like, at all? His storyline has been the most boring for some time now, by far. To the point where I reflexively rolled my eyes and zoned out whenever the episode shifted to some interminable scene at The Wall.

I'll defend Mike not letting Sierra have a go in the reward challenge. That catapult clearly had a learning curve. With every attempt, you learn more about how hard or how soft you need to fling it to go the desired distance. If Sierra had jumped in, she'd have been starting from zero in that regard.

"Do you surf a lot of pornography?"

I believe her one-woman show is "Anne, Exclamation Point." Important difference.

As a gay man, I'm of two minds with this Connor character. Yay, more matter-of-factly gay characters on TV! But mainly, I'm having some pretty major issues with his every professional accomplishment so far being the direct result of his seducing and screwing some other dude as a form of manipulation. Is he actually

I laughed out loud at John Rocker being so upset w/ Val during the revote that she didn't play her Idol like she was supposed to. If you weren't able to deduce she NEVER had one at that point, John, you are NOT long for this game.

Not to mention that standing up for a gay American soldier in that situation ought to be the bare-fucking-minimum that we expect of decent human beings running for public office. I don't want to live in a world where a candidate speaking up at a moment like that is so mind-blowingly unexpected in its valor that we

Wow. Not to overreact, but FUCK YOU BRENDA. She managed to extinguish whatever sympathy I felt for her for being betrayed with her absolutely disgusting, profoundly ugly performance at the Final Tribal. I get that she's sad and angry with Dawn for betraying her—-fine! That's a justifiable reaction; be angry and pissed

Because doctors definitely reveal pregnancy test results over the phone in the middle of the night. That's how that works.

Favorite moment of the night . . .

That argument presumes Twitter is somehow one, singular voice that was right when CNN, etc. was wrong. Except that all Twitter did 95% of the time during the manhunt was repeat information or links to articles that were already reported on in-depth by traditional journalists on the ground. When CNN erroneously said an

I see Ivy as practically a decade older than Kyle and Tom and Derek as roughly the same age. Ivy/Derek doesn't have nearly the ick-factor that Tom/Kyle does. What is Kyle supposed to be, 23?

I'm sorry, but what is the age difference between Kyle and Tom? Because grooosss . . .

He's a sitting Congressman running for Governor. He didn't win, so he's stuck where he was: in the hell-hole of the House, where he's no longer Chairman of whatever committee, because his party also lost the majority.

I so hope this season/show ends with these two shows vying for Tony Awards. Oh, the joy and laughter that would bring me.

I laughed out loud when Kyle was reading the NYT review and just skimmed over the middle part: "Blah, blah, blah. Plot description, plot description, plot description. The occasionally brilliant…"

Mhmm. Your "Tivo," huh? I'm on to you…

Given the number of times that Julia has apropos of nothing brought up Leo and how she's gonna "meet him for lunch" when he's not busy "attending college," it's starting to feel a little defensive. Like she snapped and just killed him already and now her guilty conscience is manifesting itself as a story about how Leo

Katherine McPhee's wig. I don't have anything else to add. That wig said more than I could ever hope to.

Laura's last-minute panic about maybe getting rid of Shamar (while a sign of strategic thinking) was silly when you think about it. Which is probably why she (and Julia) didn't end up going through with it.
