Needs more Doctor Asshole

It's like Probst always says: Survivor is a social game

I respect Cochran for the move, that was ballsy, especially given how high school the reactions are from the rest of Savaii.  Worst case, Cochran is now the go-to "Take this guy to the end because no one will vote for him" guy.  Best case is that he goes on the offensive and gets Ozzy and Jim out now so that they

And Zimmern could put his money where his mouth is and switch the format from "I'm eating whale dick in Norway" to "I'm going to scream at America to mix in a salad".  But he's not, because I assume he enjoys money. 

I like Bourdain, i like Zimmern, but I'm getting more and more pissed at this idea that people can't figure out how to do something unless a second-tier cable host tells them to do it.  Paula Deen didn't invent unhealthy food, and even if she switched to an all salad and steamed vegetable format tomorrow, she won't

I spent most of the episode thinking "Shouldn't this guy be more racist/still mad at Grimes for killing his brother?"  I guess it's more useful/convenient to the plot to have him as the charmingly rough-around-the-edges woodland expert, but still…

After all the laughter endorphin highs I was on, that moment of realization sent me crashing back down to the ground.  The cold barren ground of HARMONTOWN.

Interesting how this kid is a Survivor trivia buff, yet hasn't learned anything about not sticking out socially with his tribe.  Or about maybe hitting the gym and bulking up a little before going on the show.  Don't get me wrong, I like him, but he's digging his own hole with regards to his tribe.  He's got that

Psych is fully invested in their niche, and I am okay with that.

I had a front row seat for his Grand Prairie, TX show last month, and the special captures the live show pretty well.  Not a lot of banter, just songs, costume changes, and clips.  Not that I didn't enjoy the show a lot.  To be honest, I'd have preferred more songs and fewer costumes, but that's just because it was my

Undercover Brother was a film that would have worked great at 6, but they cranked the dial up to 9.  Great supporting cast, but Griffin, Kattan, and Richards just stunk it up all over the place.

I prefer him to Ledger's Joker, and Nicholson (for me) doesn't even get to be part of the conversation.  Hamill has had a few Joker performances that were on par with the "Scary psycho" element of The Dark Knight Joker, but then he also brought the levity and sheer randomness to it as well.  Granted, Hamill has had

I'm spending the rest of the season girding myself for the inevitable spouting of verse on the live finale.  It will suck, and it will be awkward, and Probst is good for at least one funny noise during it

Well, if it's the group that hated the gay marriage flavor, then I hope One Million Kids go all Menendez on them.  They can be immortalized with "Matricide Marzipan" or somesuch.

I had very fond memories of Mighty Orbots.  Surprised it only went one season.

In the battle of Joel v. Mike, the verdict is…fuck Pearl. Totally ruined the vibe of the show. Well, the host segments anyway, movie riffing is still movie riffing.

If it means anything, Jon Snow's name wasn't in parentheses in the 50-pages of Appendix with all the houses and whatnot.

I effing LOVE The Bells Are Ringing, though. But yeah, John Henry is a solid album, although there are a few songs I skip every time (Extra Savoir-Faire being the worst culprit). Also the best CD5 for Snail Shell.

It did lead to some good scenes in Book 3

Agree with the B. Setting aside the con fun for a week was worth it to see the cast stretch their "serious actor" chops. I was worried it'd be more along the lines of "Look, Hardison is cracking jokes about the internet while pretending to be in WW2", and was pleasantly surprised by how they handled the framework of
