I'm pretty sure Brendan also practically begged JT to win the million dollars if he himself couldn't. They really could not hand JT the million dollars fast enough. That was unreal.

Poor Lil would probably not have stopped crying until after the reunion from Fairplay tearing her and her game to shreds.

I feel like Tyson had a lot of fun playing in BvW. I also loved that he asked Rachel if she had fun right before she left RI.

Pecking order challenges are always great, but, with the especially-volatile Tony, I feel like we would be in for a real treat if one shows up this season.

Sandra was also fortunate enough to have Lil voted back in the game and inexplicably take her to the end. I would have loved to see a Lil/Fairplay FTC.

Also starring Morgan as Alice.

That seems silly and arbitrary. So it's probably the case. I can't remember if they re-hid all of the Three Amigos' Idols when Phillite got booted.

I would have said last season that Tyson was the luckiest winner, having made it to the end through a deliberate rock draw that he could have prevented (which also doesn't mean he wasn't a great winner), but if Tony wins he will definitely take the cake. His luck is unreal and it's so unfortunate that his mistakes…

Shouldn't there still be another normal idol floating around out there to replace the other one out of Tony's and LJ's? I feel like the super idol shouldn't count since it was hidden already at the Merge (supposedly).

Dammit Tony! Quit finding Idols! I'm still happy with my Trish choice, though.

Good point. See also: the Brains tribe.

But Judge, she had THE HIGHEST IQ ON HER SEASON (as Jeff loved to point out). Doesn't that count for anything?

And yet Jeremaiah was completely clueless…but, I mean, he's not exactly the brightest, is he?

I laughed quite a bit when Laurel mentioned Trigonometry and Ollie said "I have no idea what that is."

I feel like it would be really tough to make it to FTC but also be aware that you have no chance of winning. Most people just aren't that perceptive. I think people are more than likely going to delude themselves into believing they have a shot at the million dollars rather than think about the money they could make…

I really don't think Tony and Kass would be hated equally in that scenario. The only person with any cause to hate Tony right now would be LJ. Sarah and Morgan probably hate Kass way more than Tony. Spencer and Tasha probably wouldn't vote for Kass either and Jeremaiah will just follow their lead. Woo's ouster…

I hope Trish doesn't end up being the Amanda Kimmel to Tony's Todd Herzog. I'd say if she could argue that she was the one to build the alliance that she and Tony utilized to get to the end she could have a strong case for the million. Sure Tony's got "the big moves" but she's really the brains behind her team. …

I would just like to throw out a quality Kass quote from this episode:

"Whenever you get rid of anyone who is annoying you in this game you screw yourself."

Yep. All we saw was that she found the idol clue and she got Parv to distract people while she tried looking for it.
