There are so many players this season who I'd love to see return, even the ones who were ultimately non-factors. I know it's impossible, but it would be really cool if Survivor ever did a season comprised entirely of returnees from one season. It might be more interesting as an experiment of sorts rather than good…

Yeah, it really has been crazy. I think it's especially rewarding for big Survivor fans because so much stuff isn't going according to plan… I think if you go back and look at the comments on the first few episodes of this season we were all saying Tony wouldn't last long because he was playing way too hard. And now,…

I actually though Jefra was kind of adorable and endearing tonight (after her excitement over the guacamole). Maybe it's just me, but I think she's almost a dark horse candidate to return… she seemed to be pretty self aware about how little she was actually playing the game, and maybe if there's a next time she'll try…

Seems that there are already some Doctor Who porns already. My first year of college this one group of girls always reserved our dorm's lounge to watch Doctor Who… a few of us got annoyed that it was being watched so often so we pitched in money to buy a Doctor Who porn that we would show in the lounge under the guise…

We need to talk about Kevin.

I think for now everybody's going to be split between Bartlett and the dining hall that's attached to the newish South Campus dorm (which uses the old B-J dining rooms but with an entirely new area to get food). A new dorm/dining hall is being built in Pierce's place but for now I think there are just going to be a…

Shoreland actually lasted a little bit longer. The 2008-2009 school year was its last… apparently the school administration had a habit of saying it would be the Shoreland's last year! 2012-2013 was Pierce's last year. Apparently toilets were exploding and everybody living in the dorm was given a $500 gift card to the…

I just remembered Pierce no longer exists as of this year! So I'm not exactly sure how that changes things. And Snitchcock was a pretty distant third in 2013, which was crazy. Things are definitely a little more fluid than they were for a while there.

Yep, BroStomp is MacPierce and a few other dorms/houses. I've heard a few "too powerful" comments about them, but I haven't been in Chicago since 2012 so I'm just going on what I hear through friends that are there.

2009. I think Max P was second and B-J was third in 2008.

I know a few current judges and I think they'd all be awesome on Survivor. I remember when B-J got second place my first year we were ecstatic that we'd knocked Palevsky down to third. And now MacPierce's big new alliance is running the game so the times are still changing.

I'd root for a scavvie with all my heart! (GO B-J SCAV!!!!)

I'm a recent UChicago grad (never met Spencer, but we overlapped) so I've kind of been rooting for him, but I keep remembering he would've probably been a smug econ dude who me and my friends made fun of.

I actually find myself laughing out loud at Survivor constantly, and this season has been especially funny. The Spy Shack, "Who's Jeremy?", and Trish's boobs comment all cracked me up tonight. And I definitely chuckled at the irony of Kass's comment about annoying players.

Glad I'm not the only one who has watched every episode this season and STILL could never tell the difference between those two. I'm glad LJ got voted out, mostly so that I'll know for sure now which one is Jeremiah.

Robert Caro's Years of Lyndon Johnson series. These books are SO good and rival any fiction I've read. After thirty years, four books, and nearly 3,000 pages, Caro is still just two months into Lyndon Johnson's presidency. I think the fifth book is supposed to be the last, but I have a feeling it's going to be a…

I haven't heard it, but the Criterion release of Armageddon has a commentary track with a NASA consultant and an asteroid consultant. Apparently the stuff they point out is kind of hilarious.

I was at Doug's interruption of the awards last night at Cinefamily, and "Mark Wahlberg" was one of the interruptors. Great stuff.
