Also an anti-vaxxer! What a gem!

Jeff Probst has said regarding Words Apart that they don't like to cast for a specific theme. He didn't like San Juan Del Sur because they had to cast pairs which limited them a lot, as opposed to casting individuals. So in Worlds Apart, they had 18 people and decided to split them up by "collars" or whatever…

ALSO THE BEST PART IS THAT ALL OF THE "YOUNG" CONTESTANTS ARE KINDA OLD FOR SURVIVOR!

I've actually got "Settle for Me" playing in another tab right now <3

So I'm technically mid-S5 (I paused my binge a few months ago though) and I really ADORE the lovesick Spike character as he's pining for Buffy since he's hilarious. I guess the issue is if/when they get together?

Every part of this comment is 100% right that I can't even choose my favorite pairing of all the ones you listed.

I always feel like anyone who thinks this has never met a "Brony." I had friends who were bronies long before I had heard of the stereotypes on the internet, and they were just chill guys who liked this TV show that is both 1) targeted at young girls and 2) smartly written with its adult fans in mind. Like, the…

Yeah, his storyline related to ballet fizzled, but he remained in the cast because of his relationship with Boo. You're totally right though, there are all these unnamed (and cute) male dancers who are basically extras.

Ah, understandable. I'm amazed that she's older than I am.

Who, me?

Ginny was so much better as awkward-manic-girl as opposed to girl-with-longtime-boyfriend. I do think you need to give Sasha more credit. One of my favorite scenes is when her boyfriend shows up to her new apartment and she freaks out because she was afraid that inviting him over would be implied as inviting him to…

Carl! Who ended up being Boo's boyfriend! Who they all hated partner-dancing with because he was short! Aw, Carl. I think he ended up quitting ballet.

Truly made an astounding transition from super annoying to basically the best ever.

I KNEW SHE LOOKED FAMILIAR! The hot Guatemalan nurse! Bummed that her plotline was dropped in Season 2.

Billy and Mindy Riggins are the best.

She also mentioned giving a talk at Scarsdale High School on female empowerment this episode! It is possible that her mom moved there after Rebecca went to college (anecdotal: my grandma moved to an apartment complex in Scarsdale for a few years after selling her house in Long Island, but later moved to a less…

Rebecca is from Scarsdale, which is a well-known wealthy (and very Jewish) suburb outside of NYC. I grew up a few towns away. I don't think they would have chosen Scarsdale unless they wanted us to make the assumption that at a minimum her family is upper-middle class.

I honestly can't imagine how it would've been ANYTHING other than the Grand Canyon. No one looks at Old Faithful and says, "wow, this is essential viewing"

I loved the juxtaposition of Jane's "Worst Day Ever" and Rafael's. One thing this show does so well is makes the stakes for Jane's drama seem just as important as, you know, crime lords and murders and kidnappings. But man, I felt for Raf this episode. He's had a tough year.

I was so uncomfortable about the premise, but in practice it was totally fine, albeit a little lame.
