Why better than Sierra? I think she gets a lot of hate for being lumped in with Brad and Troy, but if she is with them to give herself a buffer and then sends Brad packing at the end, I think that would be pretty strategic. I'm not impressed with Sierra (and she can't hold a candle to the other Ciera for me), but I'm…

He's probably catching fish and plucking coconuts from treetops at Ponderosa. He has one setting.

Russell Hantz had no skill. The reason he made it to the end twice (instead of being voted out) is because everyone wanted to go to the end with him, because everyone knew they could beat him. If he had skill, he would have had a better social game.

I worry that her challenge performance and triumph this week will be viewed as an FTC threat. Although maybe everyone already recognizes that Cirie will out-talk them all if she makes it to FTC.

Thank you for pointing me towards these. I do think she is doomed if does, doomed if she doesn't. Watching her video now on the boot order from her last season where all the women of color were booted first. Is Andrea really a better strategic player, because she's being framed as one without me seeing any evidence?

I appreciate her being a living meme. She really doesn't seem to care that she would get basically no jury votes at this point, but I would like for her to step on the entertaining one liners, so we hear less from boring contestants like Sara.

To be fair, I think a lot of times they're asked by producers in confessionals how being a cop makes them good at the game, whereas the model/waitresses maybe don't get asked that as much (although they should be).

I only watched the first episode and a half, and I was pretty disappointed. The story and the world are great, but the show isn't responsible for those. I think this is one of the more blatant recent examples of making a a book more "exciting" for film or TV.
I found Ofglen and Offred's initial interactions really…

I think if and when Pasha offs himself, Elizabeth will feel something. He is an innocent Russian kid. I also wouldn't be surprised if Tuan breaks if something bad happens to Pasha that he is responsible for. Up to this point, the only espionage we know of him taking part in is him befriending a lonely immigrant kid.…

I think anyone who watched Glee is pretty surprised that the actress who played Mercedes did better on this show (she won!) than the actress who played Brittany.

A Bachelor contestant killed someone while drunk driving and left the scene and is now in court and there is a mug shot and everything, but this is the ABC reality show they spotlight?

By universally acclaimed, I meant by critics. I wasn't discussing worldwide popularity, but amongst television critics, there is consensus that people love it, while House of Cards, Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, and others all have their detractors. On Metacrtiic, Transparent has a 92%, earning it the…

I thought you meant "Room," and I was like "Brie Larson's not in this!"

Maybe next week we'll get Men at Work for the opening song.

The weatherman in Australia I believe mentioned the seventh anniversary of October 15th (timezones) was coming up, so I think the scene was set in the present.

Is the character meant to be gender non-conforming in the books?

That's what was so disappointing about this issue. The Watchmen were a critique of the excesses of comics, and now they are just another excuse for a crossover. I don't think Watchmen is sacred and untouchable, I'm more disappointed that DC is building their whole latest reboot around such an empty idea. It's doubly…

I'll let it slide because your apology is so sincere.

Batman #21 was not a story that there are legitimate reasons to enjoy. Behind it's lenticular cover (red flag!), it combined continuities from the Legion of Super Heroes, Flashpoint, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Watchmen, and Rebirth for an entire book where Reverse Flash punches Batman. The only reason for people to be…
