I think trying to predict Christina's vote is a fool's errand. The girl's decisions have been so inexplicable (see: tonight's decision to blab about her conversation w/ Chelsea to Chelsea's obvious allies 2 seconds after they're done talking) that she could end up voting for Alicia, the girl who gleefully encouraged…

I certainly buy the logic that whoever gets the most votes is the one who "deserved to win." I don't think you can deny that. But, I question whether some people "deserve" to get some of the votes they do along the way to a win.

Alicia looking at Kim when the idol is mentioned is probably just editing tricks. They frequently pick out whatever facial expression they want the person to express at the moment and splice it in from whatever footage they have.

At this point, once Kim inevitably takes her spot in the final 3, if she doesn't win the million, these jurors are going to come off as the most childish, over-sensitive, bitter people on the planet.

So, how big of a douchebag is Michael Swift?

That's definitely what was oh-so-subtly implied. ("I'm going to go make sure he's got a ride home." Neither character is seen again in the episode.) Hmm, I wonder if the bartender with a shady past and the scheming assistant are up to something? Who knows because everyone has a motive, right?! It could be anybody we…

Exactly. You only have to look back a couple seasons at Kat/Nat. They won a lot of legs, though not as much as Dave/Rachel, but they managed to do so (and win the million) while being consistently nice, supportive, and appropriately competetive against much more formidible opponents. All as an all-female team. They're…

All I got out of that Microsoft product placement was that Windows allows its users to double-click.

OK, so that Japanese game show was one of the best challenges the race has ever done, right? I mean, that was endlessly entertaining. Sure, props to Vanessa for finishing it, but I was in tears laughing every single time she managed to fall in the most hilarious way possible. Over. And over. And over. ("Son a bitch!" S…

I completely forgot about Kim's hidden idol. Wow, I don't even see how she would feel any need to play it anytime soon.

Regarding Tarzan's chances at this point:

The race to see who can become the most awful character on this show is becoming the most fascinating thing about watching Smash. And Dev has firmly taken the lead at this point, heading into the homestretch.

The best possible finale this season could salvage at this point would be Border Patrol triumphantly strolling to the mat in 1st, being told they fucked up the Detour, and Big Brother winning as a result. That is, after having followed Border Patrol to the finish line.

I don't mean the network's opinion. I mean that there seems to be all a lot of overtly friendly interpersonal connections between the casts of Parks & Rec, 30 Rock, and Community, including guesting and cross-promotion.

"I'm going to assume that was a Haldeman reference, in which case, thank you."

At the end of the episode when Tina Fey was thanking everyone, there was a shout out to Donald Glover (former 30 Rock writer, now Community star) and Amy Poehler (Fey basically demanded that we stick around to watch Parks and Rec later) for their cameos. That, along with Alison Brie (Community) and Chris Pratt (Parks…

Am I the only one who was hoping this episode would end with someone asking, "Is this because I'm a lesbian?"

The last moment is serious in that Starburns is dead. They said there would be a death sometime before the end of the season. I for one though it was hilarious (in a sad way). As a L&O obsessive and frequent marathon watcher, I can attest to the huge number of episodes that end with a phone call revealing that the…

There's no way in hell any of these girls are going to go after Tarzan at this point. He's the obvious undeserving seat-filler for the final tribal council who has no chance at winning and that you bring along for that exact reason. Or you get rid of him whenever is most expedient, i.e. when you don't need his vote…
