Has he been coached or is he just such the whipped puppy of the Hantz family that after Russell basically called him a failure on live television and his own father acted like a dick to him that it further fucked up his already unstable brain and he's out there to prove his worth?

This show had two moments that made me realize that I am a broken person. I wanted the Favorites to win immunity because I wanted an alliance with *Corrine* to remain safe and I was genuinely excited for Brandon that he got to be the hero. Corrine and Brandon. Yes, Corrine has only gained points because she happens to…

Well, there goes that last little piece of faith that I had in humanity.

Because there is always someone I initially dislike who I grow to, at the very least, respect as a player I keep holding out hope for Reynold as the one saving grace of the pretty people alliance. And he just keeps disappointing me again and again. Part of it is because he aligned himself with dipshit Eddie and part…

For the first time in forever I actually wasn't that bugged by Probst. Such is the level of my annoyance with Eddie, i guess.

I was watching with someone who kept saying "that's not a thing" as Phillip carried on with his basketball metaphor. I had to remind him that around 90% of what Phillip says on each episode is not actually a *thing*.

@avclub-1aa099d408fe4285329682b5db961cf0:disqus I wish that that was true of my neighborhood. I'd very much like to never have to interact with the people at Rite Aid again.

That's the thing, though: we (or at least I do, can't speak for everyone) know that it was wrong and unfair. Hence the "dicks" descriptive. Of course dudes who look like Seth can make it in the Army. It's just a knee jerk reaction to both the stereotype of the schlub and the hot military dude.

Nah, we're just all dicks for thinking that a guy who looks like Seth Rogen wouldn't cut it in the Army. That and Mindy doesn't have a great track record with guys telling the truth, whether it's about the fact that they have wives or the fact that they can't admit they're in love with their best friend. So, there's…

Totally. I was mainly scanning these comments to see if anyone else was excited about that.

Isn't self checkout in smaller stores a relatively new thing? It's not new in Walmart or Ralph's but I think it's new in the drug stores and delis that exist in their neighborhoods. I don't disagree that they laid it on a little thick at points, but that particular one didn't bug, especially since he didn't think it…

It appeared on Dish as a single block with the first episode's description on the guide but when the second ep started the description on the guide magically changed. My Dish guide never ceases to puzzle me. I am assuming that, yeah, it's blocked off because that's the way FOX wants it but they're still taking the…

He's been there more than once, I know, but the one I most remember is the Christmas ep with Jimmy in the bar. He was drunk (of course) and I'm pretty sure the kid from Earl's convenience store was doing karaoke.

I was stupidly delighted by every single callback but I think I got most excited about the Mr. Turtle reference. Poor Mr. Turtle.

I didn't remember Cochran leaving but you're probably right since I was too lazy to rewind. I know that it was when Brandon got up to leave that we were shown that Malcolm had been sitting there for an unknown amount of time.

Kat was definitely the first one that popped into my head. There's no way that Probst didn't contemplate suicide every time Kat opened her mouth. But, there were so many other options that it's hard to tell.

Yeah, the Malcolm/Phillip moment seemed like a normal talking head, but when he introduced everyone it seemed like we'd stepped into another show entirely.

I'm less concerned with the lack of Corinne/Bren/etc. (we'll certainly get more Corrine when she does something Corinne-like)  than I am with the randomly *strange* editing. I know that it's nothing new for long conversations to be condensed and things to be time shifted for maximum drama but I was completely…

Yeah, Reynold was pretty much the only person in that alliance of pretty people that I could tolerate at all. He seems relatively sane, he's good in challenges and I don't want to punch him in the face until he cries. So, hopefully this setback will make him start playing and stop being a jackass. I absolutely…

This is my favorite sentence ever. 100% correct, totally understandable and batshit crazy.
