To be fair, even if Second Chance were filmed first, contestants in spring seasons are never influenced by the fall seasons, because both seasons are filmed back-to-back during summer.

Engineer. Commanding robot minions is the best.

I was part of a group of college-age guys in the front row; we completely lost it when (SPOILER) the Millennium Falcon got eaten after Batman stole the Hyperdrive. I think we missed the entire next minute of dialogue.

My favorite playthrough was when I tried to create a libertarian paradise. The people didn't like that and suddenly crime shot up, so I decided to go full-on police state in the span of a year. Drone strikes on citizens, death penalty for any crime at all, cameras everywhere. My approval rating shot up and I would've…

Yes! Someone else gives Tocantins credit!!

I don't know whether to read Brad saying "I'm not mad at you" over and over, to every single person at Tribal Council, on the way out as genuine human kindness and self-awareness or a desperate attempt to convince himself of that fact.

I agree that Rupert probably doesn't deserve to leave yet. That being said, I can't be too sad about losing a guy who's played the game a record-tying four times, especially when there's ten really interesting new players out there and the other returning players are mostly second-timers.

Did anyone else love last week's voting-out strategy completely backfiring on the loved ones?

I thought you said Mark Cherry, and instantly I started scoring Jesse's failed escape scene to "Get away, Getaway…"

This was precisely the moment when I realized I was in love with a TV show.

You don't think he'll have to make a difficult moral decision next episode, do you?

MY EMOTIONS!!!

MY EMOTIONS!!!

Well, once you shoot a kid, shooting adults just can't replicate that rush.

The understatement of the century right here, folks.

The Nazis were Hot Cops all along!

But the more important question: will Jesse die?
