Stoner thought while not stoned: There are people alive right now who are going to live past 2100. That's crazy.

That was spectacular.

I was doing as well in this game as I had done in a long time, running multiple categories, but had to go to dinner midway through. Sadness.

An A? I didn't even read the review (really not trying to spoil myself on this one), but damn. Couldn't look forward to a movie more than this. Whatever it's about. It's horror. It is getting universally great reviews. That's all I need to know.

Max and Hali are probably the easiest to root for. Granted, we've seen almost nothing of Max, but I just assume it to be true.

A tribe swap would be welcome at this point. The show has been numbingly obvious with its "collars," but they did inadvertently end up putting a lot of the same personality types on each tribe, which results in a ton of clashes because everybody reacts to things in the exact same way. Hence we get Mike exploding at…

Yup. You ride the mental/emotional/intellectual wavelength of your tribe, especially early. The one wavelength you can't really ride is that of physicality—if you're weak, you're weak.

I don't understand why anybody would say "If X is going to make you vote me out, I don't care, here's X."

I just sort of tune it out at this point.

I could see that if anybody could really stand working with Dan long-term. I know some people have different opinions on this, but I've always believed that your best sub-alliance members aren't the abrasive people, rather the ones who make no impression whatsoever and are happy to just vote however you say. If you…

With No Collar, though, if they make early-game votes based on what keeps the tribe strong, this probably isn't an issue. Instead they're just voting on random shit and you lose Vince. Alternatively, they would have lost Jenn if Will doesn't switch his vote. Neither of their targets last week made much sense at this…

Do we know for sure that somebody gets shipped off for medical reasons? Jeff stopped the challenge for blood, so you'd figure it would have to be a pretty big gash for them to have to leave completely. Ah, the joy of breaking down a three-second clip.

Think Jenn and Hali agreed to vote out Will and Jenn flipped. That's the only thing that makes sense. There's no way that she's voting for him on her own. Then again, that whole tribe has no idea what they're doing strategically, so maybe Hali just voted for Will without any backing at all.

If you can build a shelter (and the Blue Collar one is legit), can't you craft some sort of chair-like seatery?

Tyler, Joaquin and Carolyn are treating Survivor like a spreadsheet.

That was an unpleasant episode overall. Between the Nina stuff, the Mike stuff and the Everybody Hating Shirin stuff, just a boiling pot of negativity in what's my go-to show for a pick-me-up of positive energy (it rarely fails to at least be enjoyably silly, even when you have an obvious boot). As to voting strategy,…

I don't even count 'The Guest' as horror.

That's probably an oversimplification. Yes, there are tons of horror movies that fall on those tropes, but you could make a 'Cabin in the Woods'-esque takedown for almost any genre. It's not like horror is unique in the fact that it leans heavily on what came before it. As with anything, you have a lot of movies that…

'You're Next' is great and one of those movies that, I think, is better when you watch it a second time. The dark humor and absurdity pops out way more on second viewing, when you are slightly less concerned about everybody's safety.

'The Descent' was a legitimately great movie. I rewatch it every October and it does not suffer from the Law of Diminishing Returns.
