We got some crew last season when Joe fainted, but not a huge crowd like this.

Yeah, by the time she was actually voted out, it must have felt like a mercy killing to her.

And yet, there was a time when we were all saying, "Oh, this Lily is MUCH better than the other one!"

I absolutely expected the "zoom in on the trash" shot, too.

Maybe the writers learned a lesson when they were IN THE MIDDLE OF AFGHANISTAN!

It'd certainly get Jed Bartlet's attention:

And the gold stuff they use to cover them makes the chocolate taste terrible.

No. In fact, according to TVbythenumbers, it's a likely renewal at this point.

I did catch that, but I read it as a single shut-out rather than a sweep.

I'm willing to bet that they time it that way on purpose because a lot of people just tune out after the votes are announced. This way you get:
—CBS winning that quarter-hour at the very least
—retention of a higher percentage of viewers who don't shut off the TV altogether, hanging on out of sheer inertia ("Hell, the…

It puts me in mind of Heinlein's later work, attempting to tie all of the previous stuff together into a multiverse. The way they identified a given universe was based on the name of the first person to walk on the moon, because that appeared to be the big divergence point.

He did say it correctly in the talking head segment. Someone must have straightened him out.

In the early seasons when the show had a F2 and TC was down to three players, you'd have one person with immunity, so the other two would vote for each other and the person with immunity essentially decided who was getting third place. So technically it's a two-vote elimination but the fact is, those TCs hinged…

Especially when the very first vote with her name on it popped up. You could practically hear the Scooby-Doo "Huuuh??"

Frederick. We didn't see a lot of him on either show.

It really feels as though they bailed out on the Coyote-Mallory thing and just let them have this truce.
