Agreed.  I also SO hope he doesn't have any pets.

So agree about Philip.  I didn't pay much attention to him in his first season and clearly he's an eccentric guy, but my heart broke for him a little bit tonight, too.  I don't care how odd you are - it's never fun to hear that "everybody hates you" (sic) - and he seemed to take Brandon's repeated jabs at his advanced…

I haven't read all of the comments yet and the reviewer didn't address this and you are my AVClub Survivor expert   :-)   soooo….what about the food situation for the Favorites?  I'm assuming this has never happened before(?) - which is pretty surprising, when you think about it - it's clear they can't expect the…

Made me laugh!

I think I'd go along with "one of the savviest assholes on the face of the earth right now".

Couldn't agree more.  I had no clue that Brandon had suffered somehow in his personal life after his 1st Survivor appearance (I mean - WHAAAAT???).  I suppose I can figure out what that might mean but certainly have no desire to research it.  So anyway jeez…this episode made me pretty queasy, and I've got a pretty…

For some weird reason I just flashed on how interesting it would (could) be if they were to have borrowed that genius-kid with the black hair and the strange gait (remember his constantly walking around on the balls of his feet?) from Big Brother last summer.  I forget his name, and I THINK he won…but to see him on…

If they decide to revive matthew and call his copious bleeding from the ear "just a flesh wound" and cast this guy as his replacement they'd have to give him some of that fat makeup/prostheses they used on peggy on mad men back when she was fat.  Matthew got pretty porky there towards the end, particularly in the…

My God, Lady Mary is essentially just a straight-up bitch, period.  Screw Matthew's involvement or presence; that woman is simply vile.

Well, yeah—-speaking of bullshit, there is just NO WAY Brooke sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the TV, in her little dress and white socks and black patent-leather mary janes, gearing up for a tantrum because her brother was watching whatever cartoons were on 30 years ago and SHE wanted to switch the channel…

The thing about the governor's dinner that really struck me was that padma appeared to be - dare I say sober??  

Well, hell.  I've never bothered with LCK since I can always find out here who won, but now…I'm too confused to even ask if there WAS a LCK last night.  I guess I'll assume there was and that Kristen won, given reviewer's comment re: beauty of dish's colors…so then…what about the "most popular" chef?  Or the one we're…

What a terrific friend you are!!  I vote for macaroni, a Roux with cream and not milk, 4 kinds of cheese (and one must be gruyere), a teensy bit of dijon and nutmeg - topped with Panko and diced scallions and baked 'til the crust is killer.  And maybe some things you could whip up together in a food processor, if you…

I think I just assumed that since it was Philip (trying to) quote Machiavelli, the quote didn't actually exist anywhere other than in Philip's brain.  Hence…Google might get confused.  Since we can hope that (so far) none of PHILIP's sayings is google-able.

And I'm gonna join you!!!  I like it now because I LOVE clean, glossy, healthy hair - and Erik's hair certainly had all that going on last night.  If he sticks around, though, and his team never wins any soap or shampoo, I am going to be changing my tune pretty quickly.  The thought of that head of hair saturated with…

I think he'll ALWAYS have some natural spaz tendencies, and they might prove endearing in an octogenarian.  So he mentioned last night that, at Tribals, boston rob did things like "place his hand on the shoulder of the person he wanted gone" (a factoid I've managed to miss!).

Wow, my experience with THE COOL KIDS is exactly the opposite of what yours appears to have been!!  The cool kids at my high school (while I was there) talked about nothing BUT the fact that they were the cool kids, and the few I still know all these years later manage, somehow, to work this fact into an incredibly…

So are you saying you think he threw the beanbag throw?

That was a GRASShopper????  My Lord, I was watching through my fingers and had convinced myself the poor flailing thing was a big fat lizard.  Whatever, it was too gruesome for me.  One of those adorable big-eyed Slow Lorises made an adorable little grunting noise at some point, too.  I think it was right before he…

*GASP*  Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???  You mean to tell me you're not attracted to that fireman asshole guy?  You know, the guy who said he was the best-looking person on the face of the earth, ever, throughout history as well as 4,000 years into the future?  The guy who made the IMMEDIATE connection with that blonde girl…
