Everyone's talking about a final 3 still, and there's never been an idol that could get you to final tribal council, has there?

You mean something they'd never do when they can create the illusion of a close vote?

I think it's more about seeing someone you can trust and let your guard down with. I imagine you'd be pretty desperate for that after a few weeks during which all your social interactions are guarded and strategic and you're always paranoid that the person you're talking to may be out to get you.

When I re-watched FNL I was shocked at what a non-presence Mindy was for such a long time, although she's played by the same fantastic actress from the beginning. I remembered them being less lovable and more screwed up in the early going, but I had forgotten just how much they start out as background characters.

This is how I felt about Malcolm. He was a fratty football player, for crying out loud! The fact that it was at my school should not make me like him more.

No. No points for saying, "Mitt Romney has been successful in everything he’s ever attempted." That's just too stupid a thing to say about the last person to not get elected president.

I see that as a serious flaw in the show. Dany and Drogo's relationship makes a lot more sense in the book, where he doesn't rape her.

Having sex with someone who doesn't have a choice about the sex is rape, and it's pretty darn obvious that it's rape when she's all visibly distressed and crying.

"Pantless sexy chaps plus codpiece" if we're going for accuracy, but if you can get pantless chaps to convey that to everyone, go for it.

Assless chaps tells you what Felix is wearing much more accurately than chaps would. It's a phrase that means something and we all understand it and besides it's fun to say.

And I will be the even worse person who points out that the seemingly redudant phrase "assless chaps" is actually giving us lots of useful information. Assless chaps, unlike plain ordinary chaps, are worn without pants underneath and they either cover your junk or are worn with something that does. If you don't like…

I'm wondering if it will because they've shown it to us twice now.

For the love of Pete, Tasha, stop reminding everyone you're best buds with the jury!

I think we saw her digging and digging before tribal council, so it was left a little ambiguous. We hadn't seen her find it, but we had enough to put together the whole story when she played it.

I'm glad I'm not alone in being inexplicably attracted to Spencer.

I feel like we were seeing more of Sophie, but that might just be because I love her so much.

Well, you know, they're standard TV Dangerous Sex People. You just can't trust those people with the non-mainstream sex lives.

Oooo, who are we overthrowing?

Spencer may well have meant it that way. It's the societal context, not his intentions, that make it a gross and unacceptable thing to say.

There is no equivalent statement because the argument that men are controlled by their hormones hasn't been routinely used to justify keeping men out of positions of power.
