The thing is, any player still out there who doesn't recognize that Cochran has to go next doesn't deserve to be there. Bunch of idiots; he's walking all over them, but with his self-deprecating one-liners and shucking shoulders and stuff they still think he's Cochran the Dweeb. He's got to go next.

That's the whole point — you're screwed no matter which way you decide. It takes strategy out of the game, because the only solution is so obvious: you have to vote her out next. Hell of a way to "win" a challenge.

"I FOUND YOUR FUCKING TEETH!"

Brenda's going to vote for whichever finalist did not wrote her name down, even if it's Eddie. And she might persuade some of the other jurors to go with her.

That choice is an automatic vote-out. You either piss everybody off or you put yourself on a pedestal. There's no way you can survive the next vote when you're presented with that "choice". Dick move, Probst.

They didn't tar Jaguar, they tarred a fictional car dealer in New Jersey. The Jaguar people themselves were as aghast at the dealer's ideas as Don was.

I guess it's the Vega then.

Is this the story? Don hooks up with Chaough for the super-sexy secret Chevy, which turns out to be a lemon like the Vega? That could bring down the new company — something I've always wondered if it was going to happen.

Yeah, I'm confused about how Don gets to merge the company without asking the other partners. It's not his company to merge.

Not 2.5 years early. If it really is the Vega, this new company is going to be going through some really lean times. Especially with the loss of Alfa, Jag, and Vicks, and the increased overhead of three more principals. Maybe that's going to be the storyline — Don's miracle save-the-company move turns out to be a…

I don't think it's a specific real-world car; I think it's meant to represent the 1968 Corvette, the third Corvette (and second Stingray). You can see one in the lobby of Chevy as Don walks through in next week's preview. It came out in the '68 model year, which means August '67, so the timeline is off a little, but…

I had to come here to complain. I haven't watched the episode, because some pissy-pants little anarchist dingleberries here in Seattle decided to wait until Survivor Time to smash a few windows and throw a few bottles at the police, which means continuous live coverage on the local CBS affiliate, which means NO…

Team Brenda ALL THE WAY.

Is this because they get paid scale or whatever it's called just for being on screen?  I feel like a numbskull for not knowing this basic Survivor fact.

Is there really prize money aside from Sole Survivor and Fan Favorite? I did not know that.

Sigh. How can I still be last? Neither of my remaining players has received a vote in forever. I obviously don't understand the rules (this is true of every game I've ever played in my life).

More times than you might think, Jeff.

"I'll shave your head if you'll shave mine".

I think he's the biggest target right now. Everybody knows how well he's playing. And he's not going to win every immunity challenge; no more helps. Sorry, I love Cochrane to death, he's my favorite player ever — he's passed Yau Man finally — but I think he's in trouble.

Yeah, Malcolm last week was as big a move as it is possible to make, and he was next gone.
