Baylor, Keith, Missy

Plus the constant stream of tears also didn't help in the social department.

I think Lil would have gotten Sandra's and Rupert's votes for sure against Fairplay, but I think those were the only two people that actively hated him. Lil fucked over pretty much everyone else on the jury and Fairplay probably still could have garnered sympathy for his "dead grandmother" at FTC.

It wasn't just Savage's treatment of Lil before she got voted off that came back to bite him in the ass. The second Lil returned to Morgan, Savage made it abundantly clear to her that he would never ally with her and kept actively trying to turn Morgan against her. He did this even though it was made abundantly…

"Alec and I have a brother/sister/boyfriend/girlfriend kind of relationship." Uhh…phrasing, Baylor?

I agree. I'm glad Jeff managed to wring out some drama after they all tried to get along. The point of that challenge is to make people pissed, dammit!

Whatever you do, just make sure you're in the Attack Zone and make sure you don't get beaten by a buncha rules.

"Aw, I'm sorry, Barry. I'm not as emotionally mature as you." Finally asshole Ollie pays off.

Diggle is just the best. I loved everything about his reaction to Barry.

I actually really like Chris too. I thought his FTC was a master class in how to tell people exactly what they want to hear (see also: Todd Herzog).

How could Andy hate someone so nimble as Chris?

Nope. Jon said he burned his. Keith honestly probably kept his note because he needed to keep reading it to understand the idol rules.

The only thing I can think of is that they are showing them as extensions of their old partners' games? Once their partners were voted out unexpectedly, they had to step out from their shadows (which, admittedly, were possibly created by the editors in the first place).

Fair point.

So my 11 year old cousin is visiting for Thanksgiving and sat down to watch this episode with me. I tried to explain everything to her as it was happening, but I kept yelling at the tv a lot during my explanations because of the madness. After the episode ended and I was howling with laughter, she turned to me and…

I guess I was thinking of episodes where there was immediate backstabbing. That was definitely a huge omission. Plus it ended up fucking both Yau-man and Dreamz over big time.

One of the challenges involved racing across a balance beam and untying a bag hanging from it. Once on the other side, they could untie the bag and then had to put the number tiles in numerical order before running back and grabbing the next bag. There were 3 bags full of tiles and it might have been the dumbest…

I loved that he was complaining that he hadn't eaten a big meal since the merge which was, what, 3 days prior if that?

That Marquesas reunion show sure is something.
