To be fair, there was no way of knowing whether Probst would straight-up
announce that the next item was an Immunity Challenge advantage, or
whether it would be one of the hidden items. Penner bid on a hidden item
that turned out to be fried chicken. It may very well have turned out
to be the challenge advantage and…

Anyone else realize this was pretty much an exact replay of last season around this point? Troyzan was clearly the next to go, so they have an auction, he buys an advantage (skip to the last part of the immunity challenge), he wins immunity with everyone rooting against him, acts like a loud jackass, the girls vote…

So Ashley was so distraught at not finding a good job with her MFA that she immediately threw herself into a Russian prostitution and human-trafficking ring to pay her rent? Um, that seems a little drastic. Did you try moving back in with your parents first, Ash?

I really don't think there's anything to Quinn beyond the twist that was already revealed in this episode, i.e. there's a Black Ops secret plan to eliminate Brody as soon as they get Nazir and they don't need him anymore. A plan they don't want to let Saul or Carrie in on for obvious reasons. They'll probably be…

Throwing in a close-up shot of that USA Today cover in the hotel room seemed like a weird choice. IT CONFUSES EVERYTHING! Based on the Obama vs. Romney stuff splashed all over the front page, I guess Obama is the president? But Walden is VP, so no Biden? Also, given the "Federer wins Wimbledon" cover story, this would…

Speaking as an acutal NOVA resident, I can say the timeline is not as ridiculous as people are implying here. It's probably about 2 hours from DC to Gettysburg, so you can imagine the whole ordeal would take no more than 5-6 hours is he didn't dillydally (not his style anyway). He got that call no earlier than 12 pm…

That camera shot of the two pedicabs racing each other before suddenly splitting off in two different directions (much to both team's confusion) was freaking hilarious. What better metaphor for what happened there are the end than having both teams choose a different path at a literal fork in the road?

I like to believe the designers were actually staying in an absurdly upscale youth hostel, and "Yotel" is a similarly absurd portmanteau.

I love that this show has never bothered to explain what the hell happened with every one of these characters that supposedly went to college. At some point they decided, fuck it, they all just don't do that anymore, and left it at that, knowing full well the average Gossip Girl fan isn't going to give a shit that it…

I have always thought the Oscars needed about 50% more scheming bisexual assistants, impromptu Bollywood numbers, and peanut-poisonings.
