"What are you, one of these gays? Backs against the walls, guys!"

I still don't get this whole "Ginger made Adele stupid" thing. I read that impersonation as Adele being rich, successful and bored, and therefore not giving even the tiniest of shits about playing Snatch Game properly. Sure, it's basically the same ground that Chad Michaels mined with Cher, but it still worked for me.

I'm fascinated as to what Courtney's "dry wit" might have sounded like - was it the first time she called Joslyn Fox a cheap knockoff of herself, or the twelfth time?

I thought she had the air of playing Adele via Matt Lucas from Little Britain, which just made the whole thing funnier for me.

As I say every time this old chestnut comes up: Tatianna absolutely deserved that win over Pandora. Pandora was funny with a lot of lines that she'd clearly prepared in advance. Tatianna was funny with a load of lines that she clearly made up on the spot.

As somebody who stuck out all eight episodes out of sheer masochism, if you felt that way about the first two you're probably better off just leaving it be. There's one good episode, but it's not really worth the time taken to get there, and the last episode is just an outright mess.

If you want specifics:

I hated Dean more than any of the others too. Lying that his family had disowned him just because he wanted his life to sound more exciting was utterly unforgivable to me.

There's a bisexual character in Cucumber, Freddie.

Not really. Banana has its moments but is inconsistent, Cucumber is generally terrible. Episode six of the latter got singled out by a lot of people as being excellent - I don't know if I'd go quite that far, but it's definitely the best episode of an otherwise underwhelming series. It kind of works as a standalone…

Episode six is good, but not worth watching the other seven middling-to-terrible episodes for.

OF COCK!

I don't disagree with any of that, but surely blindsiding is about catching the eliminee off-guard, not the audience at home?

Well, everybody knows every week that there's a chance that they might go home unless they actually have immunity. Hali talked extensively in her exit interview how surprised she was to go at that point, and how she really did not think it would be her, I don't really know how much blindsidier it needs to be. I…

Sandra didn't need the show to handpick a cast of the dumbest, most malleable people AND include a mechanic whereby someone can return to the game after being voted out in order to hand her an automatic win on her fourth attempt.

I feared with Joe winning immunity and Jenn's idol now being spent that it would be a Jenn boot tonight, but then she was barely in this episode and I figured SURELY they wouldn't let Jenn go out that quietly. But yeah, Hali got underserved by her exit edit, I think.

Shirin deploying her nerd powers for good instead of for evil at Tribal Council was great. More of this, please.

I would not be at all surprised if Jenn's "I'm done" turns out to actually be her referring to the size of her already-minority alliance shrinking.

For me the most important question is whether Carolyn can GET LOUD TOO WHAT THE FUCK

Judge, you don't need to save seats when they're all empty apart from yours.
