This show is an example of what can happen when you have a director who trusts his audience to be capable and willing to go a long for the ride on something smart and not patently formulaic. I enjoy that it only very loosely adheres to the book material (almost not in the slightest). When I...

Great episode. Not much to say since I agree with what's been said. Woo has some B-ball skillz!

Yeah, I hear ya, meng. Not saying I think she will win, just saying she has played a solid social game and I recognize it. Also, Woo is no longer Liu Kang. He is Asian-Fabio, but minus the ability to truck some challenges.

Finally got to watch it. Kass is a royal cuntbag. She dislikes Spencer because..well, i'm not sure.....I guess because she fucked Spencer over and he had the audacity to not like it and show a very small amount of disdain for it. I'm good with either Spencer or Tony winning. Tasha is...

"This meat is bitter about being dead". *They share a smile*

Bet Tony takes that goddamn thing home with him as a souvenir. Impromptu spy shack paranoia was awesome.

Holy cowzah, dat Tony. Where did he find a stash of cocaine on this island? He really is crazy paranoid and over thinking his situation much to our viewing enjoyment. Was very happy to see Spencer live another 3 days and keep his Immunity Idol to boot. Would love him to win at this point, or...

I'm hoping it is something like that. Jack running off on an angry tangent to deal with Chilton seemed really really out of character for both Crawford and Chilton. Identical credentials be damned, Jack knows damn well that Chilton couldn't achieve what the Chesapeake Ripper has done. Would...

The only thing this show has in common with the books is the names of most of the main characters. Best to just enjoy completely decoupled from thinking in terms of the books. Hannibal, knowing 2 years ago that he would need to magically brainwash Lass in a very specific way for a very...

Fair enough on the 6-3 thing, but there's still 2 unaccounted for immunity idols (including the McGuffin idol and the one Spencer has). If they're smart, they'll get rid of at least one more from the dead man walking alliance before they start to cannibalize each other. Tony has really toned...

There was a moment where i thought, "Holy shit! Kass might be a fucking genius! I was wrong the whole time! She might keep playing both alliances back and forth, Clint Eastwood, Fistful of Dollars style and make it to the end!" But..nope. Idiot. They tried to make it look like next week Tony...

Thanks for the episode link. Pretty enjoyable so far.

I'm not sure I agree Kass' motives are aimed at "putting herself in a position of power", since her flip-action put her in a distinctly non-powerful position. she transitioned from possibly being in a very powerful position (possible top 3 with her brains people) to being at the bottom of a...

Pure genius. I almost wish I had never seen an episode of this show so that in the future I could just shotgun marathon this into my femoral artery in large gulps. Watching 1 show a week is like being thirsty and drinking a spoonful of water at a time.

Whether one liked this movie or not, it's cool to recognize the rarity of something like it: A huge budget passion project that was likely doomed fiscally from the start, but the creators involved didn't care, just needed to get it done. The movie has little story to speak of, zero character arc...

I really hope that's the case (That Kass reevaluates and realizes it's a non-sum game for her to jump completely over), man. Otherwise the next few episodes could get tedious and predictable.

hmmm, you sure they're not 6v4 now? In my mind, Kass effectively jumped ship to become Tony's bottom-bitch.

I'm guessing there is no rule about whether you can wear shoes or not for that challenge, it's just that most survivors will elect to go barefoot because they didn't bring shoes that would work for it. Liu Kang brought the right shoes.

Soygen beat me.

Yup, you did say it I see. What makes it even more funny is this decision to flip stupidly comes on the heels of having been badgering Sarah over being smart, following the numbers, and being trustworthy (not to mention a whole half season of sniping at her old "brains" tribe about being...

What makes Kass' move so horrible isn't the timing of it so much as Kass KNOWS she is that tribe's bottom-bitch and will be the first one gone once they've eliminated the tribe she betrayed. She flipped out of sheer fucking petty spite because some moron (Sarah) upset her. Holy shit balls was...

I don't necessarily disagree with you about Tony, but things are always relative to context. This particular contextual batch of survivors seem lacking in wiles and balls. As oafish as Tony may be, he could still go far this season.

I think her quitting was a combination of things. She really really disliked Trish, was at odds with Trish to the point where every little thing ABOUT Trish just pissed her off. Then to have Trish prevail in breaking her (Lindsey's) alliance and having to stomach hearing Trish bray at her like a...

There's only one perfect Boston Rob, man! But, yeah. Even Ozzie was kind of like that - awesome competitor but just so many mistakes.

Tony is just starting to crack me up. He is for sure that cop that busted up teenager parties and took the weed and booze home and then laughed about his exploits in the po'po' locker room. I'm starting to like that fucker. I will forever hear Boy George's 'Crying Game' when I see Trish now...

I didn't like Tony much before, because he is weaselly, but I had respect for his gamesmanship somewhat. At least he was maneuvering and beguiling people and shit. Flipping on his numbers and ousting Cliff made zeros sense to me though. He has empowered LJ and for all he knows, once LJ makes it...

I liked the way they changed the final match to decide the KotN as opposed to S1's method. All hail the chubby ambiguously gay chick who worships a fictional product of mediocre sci-fi writers (Captain Janeway).

J'tia seemed pretty useless and has some issues that makes it seem weird that she has the employment she has, but in the end she knew she deserved to go home and didn't make too much of a fuss about it. She was not quite the despicable human being that Colton or Naonka were. Not even in the same...

Agreed on Sarah. Her "cop radar" is impeccable. Her ability to realize when she is dealing with a beady-eyed weasel is not so good. Might be too little too late for the "brains" tribe. 3 probably won't be enough considering the size of other alliances on other tribes. Who knows though. None...

Who is it? *duck*

Finally got to see it. Nothing to say that hasn't been said already. When that cop was being paranoid and talking about his little spyhut did anyone else think, "Philip! Welcome back. I've missed you!" He is going to be gold. I feel sorry for the chess master kid. He is probably fucked for...

I hear you, Adam12 and I am glad there are no returning players (and for that reason I am especially looking forward to it) and am optimistic about the possibilities. What I don't like, is to be constantly prompted/steered to feel one way or another about teams/people and whatnot by retarded...

I kinda miss the days when survivor used to just pick an interesting grab bag of people from their audition videos, stick 'em on the island, and let the chips fall. Now, everything has to be gimmicked up: Heroes vs. Villains, Men vs. Women, Old vs. Young, Returning players vs. New People, Blood...

Good to see Midas Touch finally win a nerd-off. Well, not "win" so much as it finally went their way instead of the way Purple would have liked. Was fine with Katie leaving, she falls apart like a nickel toy every time something doesn't go her way and her "OMGZ yellow team won't accept me no...

Yeah, but you gotta remember, Those judges are just pseudo-celebs of sorts and they aren't going to be strict or give that much of a shit. they just want to be entertained for a minute. Shit, Hercules looked hungover and like he was probably irritated at his agent for even booking him on the...

I had to do some digging to actually find something that Zach (the supposed "fantasy writer") actually wrote. It was just some lame ass blog where he has some really awful poetry but he claims "the good stuff" is elsewhere where only he can see it. This dude just throws stuff out there like...

Would like to read a story by Martin about that battle at the Tower of Joy almost as much as the battle at the Trident with Rhaegar.

I agree that of the living characters that are book-relevant, Barristan Selmy is probably the most deadly, but in the history of Westeros the lesser detailed allusions of characters we never really get to meet, I'd say Arthur Dayne is the baddest of them all.

I agree that Mary Kate is pretty cute. She'd probably be classically hot if she lost a bunch of weight. I also agree with Kinkle that she rolled the dice like an idiot. I hated to see her go though. Was glad Kelsey left early. On her bio she said her favorite character in ASoIaF was Catelyn...

This season is better than the 1st I think. They went whole hog on finding pure bread nerds and not hottie girls who only very loosely fit the nerd description (Moog and Celeste). If there are more seasons after this one, I hope they do away with the odd person out conundrum at the start of...
