Eh, let's wait and see if I actually follow through. I have good intentions, but I'm also very lazy.

This seems as good a place to ask as any, as the AV Club folks always seem to know a lot about a lot of stuff, and Google hasn't been super helpful. . . .

As an animal lover, I'm ashamed to admit that this ad only succeeded in reminding me that I bought bacon the other day, which in turn inspired the bacon-wrapped asparagus currently underway in my oven. Ashamed and salivating!

God bless us, every one!

You . . . you don't eat dressing? But that's the best part!

Yup. I have an invite I haven't committed to yet, and now I shan't.

Yet Keith is the same way (and, honestly, it's doubtless the kind of player I'd be if I were on Survivor), and he's not considered a threat at all. Is it just because of Wiglesworth's "comeback" narrative potential?

Which individual challenge did Joe lose in his first season (I know he lost one, I just don't remember which one)?

Would it be wise to delay the Joe vote? Is he likely to lose immunity twice?

Yeah, I'm curious about Fishbach's advantage. I feel like if he keeps what it is to himself, he risks being seen as a threat and people trying to blindside him before he uses it. If he gives the details to his inner circle, I think they work harder to keep him around and use it to their mutual advantage, but he's also…

I don't really see any similarities in gameplay / circumstances between Jeremy and either Tony or Mike (or Tony and Mike for that matter). Can you elaborate?

Yeah, I think she was pretty clearly Joe's ally, so I don't think she intentionally swamped his side of the challenge, but it did make me wonder if someone could and, if so, how much that person could get away with.

I think they're both afraid they'll regret not doing something.

Exactly. It makes zero sense to even discuss targeting Joe, since, like you say, it seems obvious that everyone — even Joe's allies — will be ready to vote Joe out with little conversation if he loses immunity. He's wasting strategy time. Someone even said (can't remember who), when Fishbach brought up Joe, something…

I think they highlighted at tribal that this is a season in which most people feel vulnerable (and aren't afraid to admit it), so I do think jumping for the advantage would carry less stigma than in previous seasons, and I too am surprised that more people didn't jump (and somewhat surprised that Spencer did, as he's…

Speaking of Fishbach, did anyone else notice Jeff's weirdly aggressive sniping at him during the reward challenge? Like it was just one line, but while Fishbach's team was wildly ahead and Fishbach was right with the other members of his team, Jeff yelled harshly (something like), "Pick it UP, Fishbach!" Normally I'm…

That was my feeling as well — that it was Jeremy's idol regardless, but someone following him could have let the rest know that he has at least one idol. As for someone else getting to it first . . . I dunno. Maybe the idol has "dibs Jeremy" on the back? Dibs trumps all!

Hey, so what would happen in a challenge like this immunity challenge if a falling player knocked into or otherwise upset another challenger's platform enough to put him/her in the water? I was wondering if someone in Wigle's position could subtly (or not so subtly?) fuck Joe's chances of winning whilst going out.

Oddly, I've kind of shifted Joe into the underdog category because it's unlikely that he will win every immunity. So I get the double pleasure of watching someone be inhumanly good at shit (and an apparently nice human being to boot) while also rooting for that person as the underdog.

It's terrible, because I really like Jeremy (and Val), but now that Jeremy has two idols, I actively don't want him to win.
