Hey now, one of those is a VERY stereotypical passionate Latino.

Uh.. have you missed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1/2, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1/2, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1/2, etc?

He makes the best music on the show but it is nowhere near top quality. It is just that the bar is set so low from all the others. His music, like all the other music on the show, is more machine (autotune) than man.

At this point I think they should just off Hakeem.

It is important for the actual character. It it not important for the TV show Empire anymore however. So when Andre was all blah blah blah and now I will be in my father's good graces to be next in line to take over Empire all it does is elicit a giant eyeroll- it feels like that plot belongs on completely different…

All while starving with little good sleep. It is impossible not to crack and let your true colors fly when you are the edge of your breaking point.

I like how they are still stuck on the Andre wants to lead the company storyline, as if at this point the audience still cares who is or will be running Empire. They can't find anything better for Rhonda and Andre to do?

The best part about Scot leaving is because it was solely because they wanted a huge dramatic Tribal council moment.

The long term reasoning made sense (and I understood what they were going for), but it didn't fit well into the context of the show where Frank Gathers had barely been mentioned and where Lucious/Cookie have suffered virtually zero consequences for his prison actions for something like 10 episodes now. Which just…

Yes. The ending where Cookie appeared to suddenly be fearful of her children's safety from Freda still made no sense at all though.

I suspect that the production did not anticipate them taking anywhere near 45 minutes to find all the bags. Most of the time the tribes seem to find them pretty quick.

That is because, in contrast to some earlier seasons, Survivor now (smartly) picks the cast first and shoe horns them into a theme versus choosing a theme and picking people that would fit it perfectly.
