Yeah, I don't see Spencer putting on a charm offensive with any of the other alliances. He's stuck with these guys until one of the other groups are desperate for an extra vote.

I believe this is an appropriate time to ask: when are those community grades coming back?

The problem with that scenario would be giving Moffatt more opportunities for characters to say "Doctor Who?". He'd have Capaldi saying it in every episode…

As long as Capaldi plays The Doctor differently to Smith (hopefully crankier) then she'll probably mesh better. I found Smith and Coleman were far too similar in their bouncy quippiness to work as a good couple onscreen.

It's a shame how many times characters were too late delivering vital life-or-death information in this episode. So much tragedy could have been averted if there was some sort of portable communication technology… a "phone" if you will… where one character could tell another what's going on.

It depends on whether the jury have reconsidered their opinion of Tyson after sharing info. Some of them must have had an opinion of him from his previous seasons, but were willing to accept him at face value when they were allied with him. After being booted and conferring, they may decide he's too smarmy to win. …

I'm assuming there will be a perspective shift in a future episode where we get to know the voodoo witches better (especially now that Queenie is with them). If that never happens, then I'll be retroactively uncomfortable.

Stevie Nicks will show up to tell them all that she is the new Supreme, and then promptly disappear in a puff of coke.

1. After Brody dragged the driver to the shelter, he tied a tourniquet (using a stick to tighten it) and then dosed him with morphine.

The surgery doesn't help… kinda hard not to think "fake".

I think that rule is mainly to stop people stealing the idol from someone's bag. I doubt the producers would intervene for anything else.

Eccleston is even more conspicuous in his absence after watching Davison's "Five-ish Doctors" short. Was doing Doctor Who that traumatic?

Oh god, that's so going to happen isn't it…

"she could also say she turned on her mother, but she really had no choice there."

It was.

I do wonder whether his manipulations are as clear to the other players as they are to us watching it onscreen. We've had the benefit of seeing Vytas explaining his plans intercut with seeing him carry them out, so of course it looks obvious to us. No one on the show seems to notice… they all seem to think he's a…

Feeling the fall coming soon too. At least there's points for RI duel wins!

Oh look! It's Chekhov's Pledge Of Fidelity!!!

I think Vytas is very cautious of appearing to be running things.  He is, however, happy to be a strategic advisor to whoever is willing to be the leader / human shield… and it's looks like Caleb may be next in line for that role.  Hayden seems more like the "loyal #2" type to me.

It's really hard to say which of the guys will step into the alpha role, since, so far, all of them have been so happy to hang back.  Especially after dealing with and finally ditching Brad, they'd all be fairly wary of appearing to be "the leader", and none of them strike me as the type to want to be one.
