Just like those shots of ants tearing apart some other hapless insect during the post-challenge strategy

People get upset about "preview spoilers"? Yeesh. I think that has to be moot for this show since you have to sit through the preview to see the aftermath of someone getting voted out.

Sly move by the editors teasing the possibility of Colton quitting, since that is what literally every one of us wants to see. Even if he's voted out we'd have to deal with him for at least one more week at Redemption.

I'd like to keep my current squad except for Gervase. Tyson instead. Thanks for doing all this!

I read Erik's comic book about Survivor, and I just have to say it wasn't very good. Pretty disappointing. I was hoping for a really trenchant satire of the game from somebody who actually lived it, but the comic mostly focused on broad characterizations of… well, "broads".

Before this season began, I didn't consider the weird connections the rival teams would have due to life history. I actually feel bad for Marissa, because Gervase was just so bad and then he gloated. Yuck. I need to edit my Pick-4 thing.

I'm Facebook friends with Rupert now so I just have to wait for him to crack and tell me who to pick.

I'm in here a bit late, but here are my picks:

The lamp saying "Fuck it" was a perfect climax. So many action-comedies end with a big fight sequence so that all of the fun is drained out of the third act, but Edgar Wright nailed it. I don't think any of his movies have third act problems, and I can't wait to see what he does with Ant-Man.

I loved the King of Comedy. It was funny AND featured a 2 second cameo by a few members from The Clash.

I got into this album at around the same time I started working at a 3-watt college radio station, and my cohorts and I accidentally recreated this album cover every week. This is relevant to nobody here, but I have fond memories of hanging out on the awnings outside of the studio while people were playing the Mates…

Perverted By Language is possibly the best Fall album. I love Hex Enduction Hour by the strength of "The Classical" alone, and then there's This Nation's Saving Grace and The Wonderful and Frightening World of… , but Perverted By Language probably represents the Brix era at its very best.

Perverted By Language is arguably the best Fall album. You're clearly being a smarmy jerk, but if you don't like the Fall, you're missing out on a lot of opportunities to be even more pretentious.

@avclub-9079ea527e08a24dfad44e3302d5f091:disqus Equating either Bush or Obama to Hitler is reductive and stupid, regardless of ideology. It happened during the Bush years by nutters on the left, and it's been happening since Obama was elected by nutters on the right.

He explicitly made the "race" connection by saying Obama is "a black man who talks like a white man."

Well, that sounds like expert criticism.

@EmElle:disqus I'll pick it up in the next week or two and write it up here. If nothing else, it'll be a nice fan-memento to have.

The impending football season has reminded me of the Survivor Fantasy League so I thought to check for updates, too.

I haven't yet- did you like it? Comic books and survivor are both relevant to my interests, but I saw he's selling it at $9 for 34 pages, which seems just a little steep even for a self-published book.

By native Indianans, do you mean Hoosiers? Because I'll tell ya, we've got maize for days.
