Producers: "Hannah, do you believe Bret's story about being a funeral director? Does it make you suspicious at all? Do you think he might be lying about what he does for a living?"

This was undoubtedly a power move from Jay, but I'm not sure about the wisdom of making such a power move in the non-jury phase.

It's not filmed, but they do all get sequestered together. No one gets to go home until the end of filming.

I disagree. Yes, you vote out Michaela, but you want until final 9/7/5 to do it. It's way too early to get rid of someone who's a totally loyal vote for your alliance in favour of two players whose loyalty is uncertain.

The risk of throwing a challenge to get rid of someone is that there's always a risk that you might then lose AGAIN, and have to vote off someone you don't want to. In this situation though, Ken and Jessica could feel fairly comfortable that they can just get rid of Adam, whilst Adam knows he has an idol and can vote…

I think an annoying couple is maybe a good buffer if they're on your side, but an annoying couple in an opposing alliance is of no value whatsoever.

I think a bigger problem for Chris is that there are so many Millennials, they don't really need him. Gen-X need to scoop up any outlier Millennials at present, not the other way around. Chris's only real route forward is to put together an alliance of outsiders, that he can be at the head of…problem is, I don't think…

I didn't understand Michelle's strategy this episode. Why pitch the idea of voting out David to CeCe without telling her that her name was on the block (assuming that didn't just get cut)? Why, when you know NO ONE is voting for David, start throwing his name out at tribal council, assuring yourself of his future…

I assumed he was stabbed in the spine – the way he was dragging his legs suggested his spinal column had been severed.

Dany's father was the mad king. She had two brothers, Rhaegar and Crazy Viserys. Rhaegar is the one who was married to Elia of Dorne, and who 'kidnapped' Lyanna Stark.

Yeah, the point I was trying to make was that a trip that took several episodes for Ned/Arya/Sansa was accomplished by Cat in no time at all – the books, at least, make it plain that taking a ship is faster, but we don't see any of it. Littlefinger is waiting for Ned as soon as he arrives to escort him to his wife.

Edmure is too busy being in Outlander to be rescued right now, I think.

I think there are times when the journey is an important part of the narrative, and then we see it. And there are times when the journey is just Littlefinger sitting in a coach for three days with no one to talk to, or Varys suffering from seasickness, or presumably Arya spending the entire voyage in her cabin whilst…

He was disinherited and banished, I believe. His wife was really into shopping, so like so many husbands he got involved in the slave trade to keep her in the style in which she expected.

I'm not convinced that we needed any more from Dorne and the Tyrells than what we got. First the Lannisters murdered Elia Martel and her children, then Oberyn Martel went to get justice and they killed him too. Olenna Tyrell has just found out that Cersei has murdered her entire family. They want revenge and will ally…

Everyone nicks stuff from their workplace before they leave, right?

I don't want to alarm you, but there are still three sand snakes left alive :-/

Yeah, but now he's all steroided up, and we know what that does to the bits.

Given her history with King's Landing, I highly doubt Sansa's going to be jumping at the chance to go back there, in any capacity.

There was an awful lot of intermarrying between houses, for one thing.
