I once went to an Allman Brothers concert mostly to see Karl Denson, who was opening for them. I'd seen the Allman Brothers multiple times to that point, so after Karl Denson finished, I realized I was really tired and decided to head home. On the way back I totaled my car. That'll teach me to ignore the Allman…

However, before that, when he winced and ran his hands through his hair every time one of his teammates won a point, his acting was . . . not so good.

I know! I actually was surprised by the sophistication of Rodney's marionette simile, but then he said yo-yo! I died.

That scene made me like Hali again. This probably means she'll say something mean about Shirin early in the next episode — as happened with her surprisingly sympathetic/nuanced treatment of . . . Nina (?) . . . at tribal followed by sour words about her after Nina(?)'s boot. Damnit, Hali, be consistent so I know how…

Sigh. I know I'm going to regret this, but asking you will surely be less scarring than Googling it: What's an Eiffel Tower?

I didn't realize how young Anders was when he played Sark. I thought he was just one of those actors who magically doesn't age, but when the older woman mentioned the significant age difference, I looked it up, and dude was like 20 in Alias.

He seems pretty straightforwardly evil to me, but in a fun way. He didn't just turn the woman into a zombie; he turned the woman into a zombie on purpose so he could blackmail her. That's like shooting someone up with heroin against his/her will in order to create an addict to exploit.

The fact that she ate more artist brain and then sped through (literally in fast-forward) completing the painting would indicate to me that the gifts fade and she was hurrying to create something to leave behind before she lost the talent.

In fairness, there was a football player named Major Applewhite. So, it happens.

Yup, that's definitely Final Fantasy hair.

I even knew which one it would be before I clicked. It had to be Harold.

Sigh. I'll bite. One problem (among many) is that holding women to "a higher standard" (one dictated by a man, naturally) gives men a free pass to treat like shit any woman who doesn't meet that standard — which is likely based on deeply conservative, patriarchal gender roles — and then blame her for not "holding…

As my friends and I can't agree on this, I put it to the board:

I mean, Jesus, were they going to drink that water after he put his feet in it anyway, wart or no wart?

I agree with Streets_Ahead and Mark. The fact that Joe and (to a slightly lesser extent) Mike are standing out now as possible winners makes me worry. I think Joe is likable and athletic, and at some point the others are going to target him as an obvious threat (I don't see him strategizing much to avoid such a…

Yeah, I'm not off the Mike bandwagon, and you make some good points. I wouldn't even go so far as to call Mike any kind of misogynist — just possibly a little chauvinistic. I also appreciate his straight-up admiration of Kelly.

Whoo, I'm above the "see more" line!

"I'm so so much smarter than I look." NO YOU'RE NOT, DAN, DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU LOOK REALLY STUPID!

Oh God, "bad baby" (and the lack of immediate repugnance from those around him) made me see red.
