I think that's Woo in a landslide. Woo didn't play an active or strategic game, but people like him, and no one likes Kass. Kass made some respectable plays, but not nearly enough to gain the respect of all the people she pissed off.

Kass was particularly unpleasant today, but in the end I think she actually made the right move. She needs someone who has made more enemies (and may make more still) than Spencer if she wants the million. That and she needs to pray for a final two. Although, even a final two against Tony is problematic. It's certain…

The Tyler Perry mirror.

He told everyone on his original tribe before the merge.

She had a great thing going, but was brought down by her own arrogance. Targeting Eliza offered up an OBVIOUS bottom 4 alliance, but she completely missed it. It's definitely entertaining to see how butthurt people become after falling from the top to the bottom. It's often like watching a 6 year old throw a tantrum.

The problem I see is that the way he did it makes it really tempting for Jefra and/or Kass to flip. I'm not sure he pissed off anyone too much for the million except Jefra and LJ. I seriously doubt he gets either of those jury votes.

I think Tony is going to find it much harder to keep his alliance together after his move than he said it would be. Woo and probably Trish are still on Team Tony, but Kass and Jefra have to feel like they're on the bottom. With a solid three on the other side, opportunities for flipping are plentiful.

The "moments of brilliance" thing is really key. I mostly object to the unrelenting morons. Tony is great. Sugar is not.

The end of B5 reminds me a lot of what George R.R. Marin had to say about the end of Lord of the Rings. I'm paraphrasing, but it was to the effect that just saying that the new king was a great ruler and the kingdom lived happily ever after is deeply unsatisfying. I really liked the way that they delved into the fact…

100% agree about Savage for Selmy, though it's funny that Savage is probably far younger than Selmy. By reality TV standards, I'm ancient (33). I don't feel like we know quite enough about Randy and Slynt to make it a home run, but it's not bad. Slynt might be too much of a follower to be Randy. Randy is such a…

I found Russell interesting because he was a fantastic case study in strategy (both good and bad). The fact that he was so awful is why I didn't want to see him ever again. I can't argue with your view, I'm just a strategy guy. There were a lot of seasons full of great strategic players that were awesome, and those…

I don't care what demographic you're from or what "role" you're supposed to play, that move was fucking stupid. She lost a LOT. She was in a strong position in her old alliance. She is now pretending not to belong to any alliance, though in reality she is the #6 of the alliance she flipped to. She's pissed off half…

I won't give you Sugar, but I'll give you Lill. On a certain level, both irritate me because I loathe bad gameplay, but both made things unpredictable, which is entertaining. The ruthlessness of the game completely unmoored Lill, and there was some charm in that. Sugar just made me want to strangle her.

Spoiler alert: Both of Bob's.

Last three episodes, so Coach is out, but I don't know what batshit insanity he comes up with with his jury speech.

I wish I could give that a dozen more likes. Of course, Coach has done everything.

I don't know where else to put this, but I'm watching Tocantins right now and it has made me like JT way more than after his return, and it has made Coach way more of a phony, pretentious douchebag in my eyes (though I didn't ever like him anyway). It's a fascinating season.

Calling her Rumsfeldian may be the most vicious attack on Kass yet, though I can't disagree.

I've always liked a good mix of athletic, endurance, balance, and puzzle challenges after the merge for that reason. Big burly dudes have so many advantages in the beginning that a little evening of the playing field is totally appropriate.
