Jeff likes to say that Survivor is a microcosm for life more generally. And unfortunately what we're seeing with Jenn is what people like Nina have to deal with daily. So in that sense, Jeff is absolutely correct. The point I'm making is it's not that hard to do just a tad more so as to not isolate those with…

You're talking about challenges. I'm talking about Nina being socially ignored because Jenn doesn't feel the need to "coddle" Nina by spending a little extra time to communicate with her. Huge difference.
And if you listen to the dialogue more closely, Nina was crying about chronic isolation, not just one invitation to…

Where you did not have a problem with the quote, I did. Simple difference of opinion.

Oh yeah, I have no issues with Hali. She seems like a nice girl based on what little we've seen of her. I'm referring very specifically to Jenn in my posts.

Long post and I agree with every single word of it. You hit the little nuances perfectly. Thank you.

I was disappointed with Jenn this episode. After a fun start, I was expecting to root for her, but not after this episode. I fully understand that Survivor is not the Special Olympics, but c'mon. Just because you're competing against Nina doesn't mean you can't take the extra few seconds of effort to be accommodating…

I was always Sammi neutral until tonight. Her character arc I've gathered has annoyed many, but I think I woke up the neighborhood laughing during that scene with Sammi and the gun / salt. That was pure comedy gold. I'm still not sure the character is entirely necessary, but if you're going to keep her, why not make…

To Michonne's credit, she's usually correct, no?

Ok, I think I got one that works now:
Kelly, Jenn, Max, Tyler? That one works, right?

Dang. I'll try Jenn, Max, Tyler, and Kelly?

I'll throw my hat in the ring here. Can I take Joe, Jenn, Max, Tyler?

The Hours was a "drag of a movie"? I beg to differ…

The two serial killers from The Bridge were very different. The first as you noted was "dull." No arguments there. Franka Potente on the other hand might be one of the more chilling villains I've seen on screen, which she was able to pull off with minimal histrionics. At least they learned their lesson to give us a…

I had to go to several Landmark meetings to support a friend. Good lord. I kept waiting to hear about the magical kingdom set in the jungles of Guyana where they have awesome soft drinks.

I'm sure the writers have a decision tree with countless branches on what to do with that character. Just last week or maybe two weeks ago I was wondering what ever happened to AA friend who just so happens to work at Northrop Grumman, and I concluded the writers dropped the ball. These writers don't seem to drop too…

The producers really lucked out / cast well with the young actress who plays Paige. Often the child actors grow into adults who cannot for the life of them act or end up looking like Tina Yothers (side note: poor Tina Yothers). Granted, it's only season 3 and she was already 14-15 or so when the series started, but…

Well stated, Scrawler. I'd like to add one thing to your argument: this non-objective, opinion-based "reporting" amounts to nothing more than pandering to a particular political base. I think we can throw out the idea that cable news reporting these days is actual reporting; rather, it's a shameless pandering of…

I'm not a dentist, but I'm reasonably certain what he pulled out first was the top half of the tooth; he had to go back in to get the roots which were probably well anchored into the gums. I only know this because it happened to me with a wisdom tooth. 3 hours, SG. 3 bloody (literally and figuratively) hours.

I'm still pissed that Stygian is an acceptable word given that it's all proper and whatnot. My friends raised holy hell when I tried "chillypea." It's like a snowpea, but not quite as cold.

Agreed. It's a super-serious bunch now. Which is fine; everyone's entitled to view the show however he/she likes, but it's not all that compatible with my interests. And remember that dude who would send the Twitter-like messages including the one that went something like "this is my sex bow tie, Cyrus. This is the…
