Yeah, there was a moment of hesitation by the window where it looked like he was considering it.

Thanks!

Hey Judge, I'd like to join if it's not too late. Sat out last season, and regretted it terribly. If not already taken:

So Crucifictorius is going to show up at the Luncheonette to record their new album. And Billy and Sarah begin dating and Landry and Amber are the season's surprise couple. Then Ryan shows back up, except he's not Ryan anymore on account of the Katims theorem of cross-promotional universality. The most probable…

Loved the episode, but can't help but feel cheated because we didn't get to see the date from hell unfold in its entirety.

Boyle's laugh. And just when I thought he couldn't get any more awesome.

No Nat Faxon? I knew it was too good to be true.

Blindsides are awesome!!! Kat is a walking self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ahh… it all makes sense now. I honestly had no idea there was any type of incentive to finish in the top 5. I will redouble my efforts, etc. etc.

Agreed. He's probably always felt this way about women contestants, but he's at least made some effort to conceal it. He's not even trying anymore.

So far, so good. I've worried about my Laura B. pick from day one, and I fear that her time is coming. For her, the merge couldn't come at a better time.
I've got to say, this pick 4 league has made it a lot more fun to watch this season. Normally, a "Laura M. v. Laura B." quandary wouldn't get me that excited. But…

I've said it before and I'll say it again: when Jeff goes, the show goes. I just can't imagine anyone else hosting the show. For all if his faults (and there are many), he's just too integral a piece to replace. If he is replaced, I don't think the show lasts more than a couple of seasons.

VTEP? Is that a vote cast for the eliminated player?

Yeah, there's no doubt who the submissive one is in the Candice/John relationship.

To me, the family members' perceptions of each other has been really interesting.  As Gervase pointed out, Monica may know Brad the football player or Brad the husband, but she does not know Brad the Survivor, and it's hard for family members to think of their loved ones as a Survivor villain.  Separating them has…

I blame the motorcycle accident.

Disappointing.  I'd hoped to see at least one squeaquel on the list.

I wondered the same thing.  I think it was genuine, but he looked absolutely pissed when Jeff snuffed his torch.  Tough to tell.

To @avclub-080acdcce72c06873a773c4311c2e464:disqus 's point: Couldn't agree more.  First half of the season is typically slow and less exciting.  RI helps spice things up.  Post-merge, the game really picks up and gets more interesting.  Gimmicks like RI can really get in the way and ruin the pace of the post-merge…

Before last night, Caleb was playing a great game.  Last night's move, though, could cost him.  The second-to-last thing you want in your alliance is unpredictability.  The very last thing you want in your alliance is someone who unpredictably changes their vote at tribal council.
