I'll have to listen to the Rogan WTF, but on its face, I can see the logic behind: "I did Fear Factor because they paid me a s-load of money, and that money gives me the freedom to do other stuff I want to do."

Rob's worst case scenarios
Basically, what can go wrong for Rob is:

Yeah, but it's funnier to hear him tell it.

Tom Arnold
For those into that sort of thing, Tom Arnold gives some more of his side of the story of the great parking space battle on an Adam Carolla podcast from last week. The way he tells it, it's pretty funny.

My Favorite Ice T bit
was an interview snippet from about 10 years ago, where he basically said: "Yeah, I'm still a pimp. Look at me — I can't really rap, can't act, and I'm selling albums and starring in TV shows. THAT'S a pimp, baby."

Strategy notes
1) Rob HAS to get rid of Grant, right? Grant is the most likely to beat Rob in the final immunity challenge and just get rid of Rob and the most likely to beat Rob in front of the final jury. I'm fairly surprised that Rob didn't go after Grant this week.

Is she still a contortionist?

One thing I liked about the prayer scene was how it avoided my expectations.

My other gold fantasy has been that Philip would get to the jury arguments, then pull a Verbal Kint, straighten up and reveal that he's an award winning professional stage actor and full time lead at the London Shakespeare Company, who created the character of Philip in order to outwit, outplay, outlast. At that…

Prom question
Was Can't Hardly Wait better or worse than Prom?

Onion/Mr. Show crossover
I loved the Onion for the first few years, but by the time my friends started talking about Mr. Show, I had decided that I had read The Onion's ten jokes twenty times each and stopped clicking through.

Brandon Routh
looks shockingly like Tom Cruise in the commercials. When you add a self satisfied smirk to his angular face and prominent nose, he pretty much could play Cruise in the biopic. At least four times, I've seen a commercial and thought "Hey! I didn't know Tom Cruise was in this movie.

I can't resist saying it again
The best TV possible would be if Matt faced Rob for the final challenge at Redemption Island — either outcome would be gold.

Philip
1) I mentioned late on last week's thread that the best thing that could possibly happen would be for Philip to make it to the final 3, then straighten up and pull a Verbal Kint. "Yes, I was somewhat concerned that one or more of you might be familiar with my work at the Royal Shakespeare Society, but…

Very disappointed in the racers
No singing? You get to sweep and chimney AND go to the Von Trapp home and nobody sings?

I got a bottle of Elmer Lee the other day - my eyes are open now, and I can't go back.

One thing I liked about the episode of celebrity apprentice I saw is that they actually delivered the prize to the charity. Give us 30 seconds of Toddlers without Borders getting the check for $10 grand.

I agree - why charity? It makes me kind of a selfish person, but I would rather watch the master chefs personally win $100K.

Random Kelis detail
Kelis's child support and spousal support was recently cut in half, so she and baby Knight are only pulling in $25k per month from Nas.

What was the caper movie about the incompetent crooks? "Incompetent crooks," or something like that. I can't even remember the title, and I have the plot mixed up with a bunch of Simpsons movies. If I recall, they are tunneling through a basement, and it's possible that Tracy Ulman gets topless.
