That's a giant primary school.

Next week on Survivor… Tai panics.

Vietnam would be my first choice, then Cambodia and China. Shanghai is a lovely city.

There is zero chance she leaves Soviet Russia.

I thought people limited these type of over-eggs to the Special Olympics.

Debbie talking about planes and how others will feel about planes. Loved it.

I don't know how Michaela got snubbed by both teams

I couldn't stand to be around her, but she's fun to watch lose it, etc.

Yuri at the office: "Sofia, your teeth look very decadently capitalist."

The relationship between Philip and Elizabeth is heading either for Philip to defect or Elizabeth turning against him.

An informant may not have the best intel but s/he may know other better informed people, including things such as their woes and vices which may be used to lure or entrap them. Each person is a piece to the puzzle.

C'mon, Zeke was being treated as Zeke, which is exactly the way he wants it. Get caught betraying the alliance and it's highly likely you'll be voted out.

Marvel as they hover over their children. "Is 10 the right age to teach Jasper how to tie xir shoes?" Watch in…

Yes, I don't think it's a documentary. What we do have are castaways pushed to mental and physical exhaustion, which makes them easier to sway/manipulate. I doubt any handler would overtly tell a castaway to do or not do something, but the power of suggestion and amplification is greater on people whose resilience has…

Yes, not scripted, but I think the castaways are massaged (or groomed, if you like) to reach certain conclusions and behave in desired ways. I would not be surprised that Varner's handler, when chatting with him about his strategy for TC, may have asked him "What do you mean 'deception'?" and listened to Varner go off…

It baffles me. To me he seems like an affable guy. A social game is at a minimum bidirectional; he may be a shy or reticent guy, but we also don't see too many people plotting with him. It may be the edit, but who's approaching him? I think his fellow castaways are wary of being, or perceived to be, too closely…
