Question-mark boxers? More than I wanted to know,

I'd rather eat balut.

Ah, well. At least she follows the Imperial's dress code in that something that's supposed to be intimidating is totally goofy-looking. It's always been hard to take the Empire seriously given how ridiculous their uniforms are.

Balut. The instant he said food challenge, I knew they were gonna haul out some balut. Probst loves watching people squirm at balut. That being said, I also expected the update when they had Woo's final confessional when they did. Nice to see he's okay.

Once again, we see Wander's big blind spot: an inability to realize that Heavy Weapons Guy is right to say friendship is STUPID magic.

Yep. Bingo.

There's something he forgot when he looked at that face and realized who it is. He went back for Caecilius. He didn't do that for her.

Great. Some old soak blathering about how the world has turned to mush because of a cartoon Great Dane being a mercenary creep. It's stuff like this that made me like last week's "Let's NOT waste time stealing from horror movies" all the more.

There is that whole "Look at ME" thing that irritates, I'll give you that.

Abi simply isn't capable of thinking rationally. It's all emotion to her and things like strategy mean little to her. If they ever cast "Logic Versus Gut", she'll be on the gut tribe. I'm sure that watching herself on television, she's aware on some level that people see her as the same short-tempered bitch she was

He might end up having Ashildr as a companion next time. He'll need someone to protect him from the enemy in the friend.

What interests me is the end credits. Why are they drying his clothes in the woods now? Are they going to save the world only to lose Beach City?

It's weird seeing him back, isn't it?

The interesting thing is that another dream of Probst's is taking place. I happen to know that he isn't fond of Abi so showing America what an unpredictable and short-sighted person she is in the game is just gravy. If this leads her to blubbering about how haaaaard the game is and rage-quitting, the pleasure center

Oh, goody. More of the enemy in the friend thing. Five bucks says that Clara picks up a fob watch and turns into the Rani.

The fun thing about watching Abi is that it's obvious that she has absolutely no sense of anything like self-awareness. She can watch this on television and have not the least idea that to everyone else, she looks like a smug, crazy, selfish and mean-spirited infant injected into a situation to keep things chaotic.

We would be dealing with good not being able to comprehend evil were it not for the Wanders. Without Helpless!Wander in the mix, Wander clearly sees Hater as being a villain who needs to be stopped. With Helpless!Wander present, he sees him as someone who needs help.

Hmmm. The way they're hammering home certain themes, I'm worried that we will get a DoctorDonna sooner or later….when they end up saying "Introducing Catherine Tate as The Doctor."

At the end of the day, we're left with something else that seems more like a feature than a bug: people being so focused on Final Tribal that they make moves that make them look like chumps to people sitting on the couch at home. While it's quite likely that Shirin probably is an annoying person to be around and

Louise did have the best take because Bob is always supposed to lose. Tina's Bob might be 'Hugo' but he also has a little more dignity than he normally does.
