Last season (I think it was last season) Shankman went up on stage and "auditioned" in front of some of the previous contestants.

He did the whole thing and even ran out screaming with his ticket Vegas.

Remember this summer when Shankdaddy danced the jive with that one auditioner who was, at best, a decent amateur jiver but you could tell she had fun with it? That was probably my favorite moment with him and the contestants.

Was he the one who talked to the contestant who was torn between following dance and following her religious beliefs? That was a good moment.

Mary looked so jacked last night! In HD you can see where her botox shots were all popped out. Also the show was really good, lots of good dancers.

thank goodness I don't have HD!

Mary is looking twelve ways busted this season. The weave is totally out of control in a horrendous way. And the bad botox means she can't even make the crazy Mary Murphy faces. At least she's toned down the aging hooker clothes.

Shankdaddy is made of awesome. Oh, arms to nowhere! I think I might hate you most of all.

You can't talk former contestants who now choreograph without mentioning Dmitry. The Lacey/Danny Samba is one of the best dances of all time. He's so good that he even helped NappyTab turn out a great group routine last season (Calle Ocho). Plus, he is a sexy mofo.

PR: Why did Peppermint Patty have to have immunity this week? I really, really want him gone.

OMG, the horrible racist is gone from Survivor! I was relieved to have that addressed, it was pretty awful last week.

Jaison is my reality TV Boyfriend. I loooooove him.

Also, Russell continues to show good gameplay instincts by not digging in on booting Ashley once he figured out which way the wind was blowing.

Also, what is up with there just being one challenge per game this season?

My best guess is that challenges are expensive to set up, and tribe drama at camp gets better ratings anyway.

SO relieved that Ben was voted out. I think it could have gone either way until he started out again at TC with his "I'm not racist, I just think people from the ghetto are trash" bullshit. You could really see people's faces go from undecided to "Yeah, he needs OUT."

I was pretty disappointed that only Jaison was willing to call a racist a racist, though. Other white people on that tribe FAIL.

Russell is repellent, but every time he gets away with another scheme, I find myself less willing to root for him to get the boot. The rest of his tribe apparently really is that dumb.

Yeah, that's where I am with this too. He's totally a little evil troll, but is actually (so far) working hard at playing the game.

I was just coming here to post on that. Holy tribal council racial smackdown. I heart Jaison so much.

I kind of feel like Survivor's needed someone with Russell's approach to shake things up a bit. I mean, would be nice if it wasn't actual Russell, but still.
