They really had no sensible plan to deal with tie-breakers through the first three seasons, and they had a bunch of tie votes (well, they had a few.)  Once they finally introduced the PRoD, ties became a lot more rare.

I'm pretty sure that most Survivor nudity would be completely traumatizing.

(Not back to back.)

Damn.  I just laid around in agony for two days.

It's funny the way you look at the players differently when you have a specific rooting interest.  I don't think Julia got more than about 15 seconds of screen time, but I was just glad she didn't join the Cool Kids Table alliance.

I had a really bad sunburn one time, that shit is no joke.

Erik is probably the easiest person to root for on the Fans tribe.  Just a decent guy whose naivete led to an all-timer of a fuck up.  Corinne was horrible in Gabon - she did a third-rate Jerri Manthey impression, completely on purpose.  I don't know if anything will change for her this time around, but her commitment…

No, no, no, no and emphatically no.

Yeah, I mean I don't know the full sociological scope of it but the language is a big part of it.

Deaf Culture doesn't really have an equivalent among blind people.  People tend to think of them in tandem, but they experience the world in very different ways.

The Kennishes' money will always be a barrier for any real co-parenting situation.  I liked the way the show subtly reintroduced that thread.  No matter how pure John and Kathryn's motives are when it comes to Daphne (and I think they are pure) the fact is that they can solve problems with money and influence that…

That was funny for about 30 seconds, mostly towards the end.  But it was 30 solid seconds.

I'm looking forward to this.  It'll help us power through the early-season doldrums, and (fingers crossed) it may lead to someone developing a crippling case of alcoholism as their picks go down in flames.

Alright, I'm going to go with my first instinct and pick Julia, even though I get a very distinctive Mikayla Wingle vibe from her.

Uh oh.  Alright, I'll pick tomorrow, I am too loaded to make a reasonable choice tonight.

Once you get down to the dregs of the favorites, you're probably better off picking the mystery card off the top of the deck.
