Hated Joe's jury moment. It just confirms my belief that he's not a legit player. We're going to see this next season. I really don't understand why he's getting another shot, beyond the fact that he's attractive and athletic. Which, I guess, is enough for you to get in on a fan vote. Not nearly assertive enough to…

You say that you would have voted for Mike if he'd screwed everybody on the auction thing, but if you were actually on the island, what are the odds that that's true? It's easy to say, "Well, they're just dumb letters from home" when you're on the couch, but clearly these people are all losing their minds to various…

That's probably a good call. She's fresh off a season where a lot of the edit was focused on how much she annoyed people. Even if she's adjusted socially—and I would hope she's toned things down—everybody already has a certain image of her. If I'm Shirin, I do everything in my power to fly under the radar early and…

The best part of the fire-making competition might have been how the reactions swung. At first, everybody on the jury seemed stoked that it reached that point. Then—and I'm guessing this happened about ten minutes in—everybody realized that they actually had to sit there and watch a business executive and Rodney…

The great thing about Keith is that he's funny, but he never comes across as trying to be funny. He just comes across as Keith. Contrast Keith and Dan. Dan tried to be a character. Keith actually is a character. We've got enough Serious Survivor Players that I think that the addition of Keith is great. Definitely…

Keith fills my need for terrible strategy and box-of-rockness.

The Woo one feels like such a throwaway. Yeah, he made it to the end, but he was Tony's puppet the entire way. I like guys falling out of trees as much as the next human being, but Woo's a nothing outside of a general chill likability.

I know some people are high on Kelley, but I just never saw it with her. She seemed like yer average pre-merge boot.

Somewhere beneath the general layer of garbage is an actual decent season.

Concur. The finales on most seasons are relatively drama-free, because it's so often a foregone conclusion who's going to win, but this had its fair share of interesting angles. I would have actually liked to see Mike and Carolyn be allowed to lay out their cases, because both had good ones.

The best part is that right before they went to the unedited footage, you hear Dan saying, "Gonna throw me under the bus."

Shirin's speech was fine, but you also knew that she was going to give one, too. There was a 0% chance that she was going to go up there and ask questions or actually let any of the Final Three to actually argue a case. Eh. Nothing about the jury is natural anymore (if it ever was?). They're all trying to have their…

I gave an overenthusiastic fist pump after correctly responding on the Goodyear DD. The Jeopardy! gods punished my hubris, though, as on FJ, I initially guessed "Frankfurt" but switched to "Munich" on very, very questionable grounds of logic. You know, because "Mainhattan" and "Munich" both start with "M" and are kind…

I don't think it will crush the box office, but it's coming out in a pretty solid window. Memorial Day weekend, with the biggest other opening being a remake of 'Poltergeist.' Families don't have many options beyond it, other than spending time with each other in an overheated car on the way to some campground…

At any given tribal, Will seems to have the look of somebody whose dog just ran away.

I didn't even know that the buzzer could ring in a second time.

I think Carolyn gets Dan's vote. He really, really doesn't like Mike.

It does make it a bad move if said crappy people just vote her out once the numbers get down there, though I suppose if the Final Four was Sierra/Rodney/Will/Dan, Sierra would have won the last challenge by default.

Mike was like the Stealth Tyrannosaur at the end of 'Jurassic Park.'

Even the commentators on Youtube are bashing Dan for his lack of self-awareness.
