since the game isnt afoot at ponderosa, he might be an entertaining guy to be around.

I'm holding out a shred of possibility he isn't lying here, the last week's challenge was more controlled, you were below the water, but right at the surface.  This week's challenge involves you swimming across an area fully underwater.  Yes you can pop up in the middle, it was designed for that, but I could see it as…

there have been so many weirder, Matthew the weirdo who was expertly trained in 4 different strange projectile weapons they had to use that year

This was his best chance to get through the vote without them having to use the idols, I think until Philip made his grand announcement of vote the way you did, the worst that can happen is I go home

So what do you all think of the 'moves' this week.  That would be Malcolm announcing that each of his 3-man alliance had an idol rather than just playing them surprisingly after the vote, and Phillip deciding to announce to the group, to vote the way they had intended to and see what happens.

I like him by hating the character, so if people really hate when he's on the show, they are ridiculous.  He'll always be "that guy from all the conan skits" to me, but this is his perfect home.  He'd also make a great douche in the Arrested Development universe, unless he was already, I'm thinking I must be…

I think I laugh at every Jerry is horrible joke, I don't know why, they just have me by the balls it seems

I just think Bob is the next Don Draper, and he's kissing asses to the top.  Loved Cosgrove telling him off, that was great

All he ever says is "what?" anyways.  I can do a spot on "draper-face", its just basically a very tired look of utter disgust and disappointment

Exactly what I said, he had the same features as him, I really thought it was going to be a dream sequence or something very odd finding its way into mad men.

Ok, so women voting off the men because the men are stronger and will win challenges to stay in the game  vs….  men voting off the women in the game, because they are strong and therefore major targets for the women to pick off…

that girl plays it at every instance, I'm sure she's got a few situations in her head of who to suddenly bring in to her side with 5 left

I think she melted me about 3 times that episode.  I know last time she was a big huge player and it seemed the show revolved around her, this time around she's like a feral child that doesn't speak, and only communicates her emotions through dances and sounds.

I think he should only show it or talk about it to Reynold to make him feel safe.  As long as they know who the core group is voting for, they can use the idol and be okay, but one of them would have to win immunity I think. 

so Reynold's desire to have an all male alliance was off putting to a woman…  Do you ever have a problem with the women banding together to vote out the men and go strong to the end?

Yeah, and maybe he will be the start of Elementary Sherlock's homeless network.

Agreed, I like Bell a lot, and more and more as the show goes on.  The guy in the pilot would have brought the show down, though it would be okay to have some background coppers who are skeptical and negative towards Sherlock

particularly on Bell's car during the brief stakeout.  The white caking on the car was a little excessive, but did paint the picture of a shitty snowy week of commuting that I'm used to in New England

Who knows, maybe they are the final 3

The fact that the majority of the players have been there before and dealt with all those problems might have something to do with them not stressing that this season.  I'd imagine when the personal stories are enough to fill the episodes, they don't feel the need to dramatize the elements and all that
