But Nicaragua had Dan Lembo sitting in a giant chair, swinging his legs like a child, so checkmate. (I'm not actually defending Nicaragua, but I really hated Ken and Crystal)

I think the "Don't snatch!" scene between the two of them earlier coupled with this scene really solidifies the sibling dynamic between Alec and Baylor, even though it's probably more one-sided on Alec's side. He's probably treating her just like he was treated by Drew. As far as her laziness goes, given how young…

My guess is either Baylor or Jaclyn had to be captain of the blue tribe because how else would they end up on the same team. Maybe Jaclyn was captain and picked Jon first?

I keep forgetting what season we're dealing with. Ugh.

It wouldn't be a terrible idea. Piss everyone off by flipping but drag Baylor along to the end? At most Baylor gets one vote from Missy and who cares which of J & J wins?

Absolutely. He should have had Jaclyn on lockdown that whole time, especially given the rest of his alliance. Baylor was a lost cause. Also, why did he tell Jaclyn he was trying to shore up Baylor's vote? If I were Jaclyn, I'd have recognized that he didn't trust me at all and would have been even more wary.

I wouldn't hate a Natalie win, but if she was going to win, don't you think she would have been a lot more visible in the last two episodes? It's pretty crazy that she's been pretty invisible of late, especially given how loud and obnoxious she and her sister were on The Amazing Race. Granted, she's probably toned…

And now here are some scattered thoughts about a fairly predictable episode. First of all, Josh and Reed were not selling a vote with them very well at all. Guilting Baylor into voting with them was definitely a bad call though Im not sure what tack to take. Also Reed's argument at TC was pretty weak, too.

I wish…

…that they had made her wear his pimp suit instead.

I still am not a fan of Johnny Depp's costume. He looks like Willy Wonka with facial hair and animal ears. I'm not asking for the Wolf costume with a penis on full display, but could he at least not look like a really strange pimp?

Good point. I would probably care more about the trail mix in her bag, just like the rest of her tribe.

It's also great for teaching players how not to be a bad damn sportsmanship.

Congrats to Julie for being the first person to quit in order to not make the jury. We're so proud of you.

Dammit, Julie!

Throw a random newbie to the wolves.

If you want to show them Russell failing spectacularly, you might as well show them HvV

You have to admit, though, that the minute or so of awkward silence was pretty great.

Even Jeremy was just referring to her as "a number" in his confessional. They all clearly cared deeply about her.

Rooting through other people's bags happened as early as Australia. Tina rooted around in Kel's bag because everyone thought he had smuggled beef jerky. Actually, this, the second season of BvW, has a lot of parallels to the second season of Survivor: getting more rice from Jeff, a food scandal, an intimate night…

Yep. Murlonio I think it was? Why am I remembering all these tribe names? Especially this one? I definitely didn't pay attention to RI at all since I knew the outcome.
