AI: So, Ellen says they sounded better in the studio than when she watched it on TV.
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
That's what they all say.

I just listened to all the vocals (without video) and there were some that sounded better than I expected given the reactions. It's interesting, kind of like watching SYTYCD without sound. I do think our impressions are shaped as much by the visual of the performance as the vocal.

It makes sense -- she said she could hear the singers much more clearly on TV.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Survivor--So, the Heroes BRING IT to the competition big time. Looks like they are good as long as there are no puzzles involved.
And I woulda voted Randy out too, such a huge whiny drip he is. A weakness of mine is that if an evil person is actually amusing, like Tyson, I am much more on their side than if they are a more evil person but are also a downer.

Trust my rage
I actually thought the villains problem was that it was an individual task. They can band together but the heroes are stronger as individuals.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
You know, they keep saying that but then I start running the numbers -
Boston Rob, Coach, L'il Russell, memfault with the longish hair - all pretty big guys who like to think of themselves as very physical. Not that hugely far off from James, Colby, Tom, Rupert. Sandra = Cirie. Amanda = Parvati. Courtney/Candace, though I can't remember who's on which team. Jerri = Stephenie, when she was around.
They're pretty evenly matched. I know I'm forgetting one or two, but really.
I do agree that the Heroes not being able to let their group dynamic fuck it all up was probably decisive. But still a pretty shockingly shoddy performance from the Villians.

Trust my rage
I guess what I meant, but didn't type, was that mentally, the Villains are weaker as individuals. I think the teams are matched physically but the Villains gain something when they act as a team.
It's weird how much I love Boston Rob. I did not like him at all in the first Survivor. But he's really grown on me.

I think I was reacting partly to maybe TWOP or somewhere where they were repeating the villians about how the Heroes won this because they're so physically dominant without really questioning it.
I totally love him. He's one of the few (only?) reality stars who I like more the more I see him.

Was PR a repeat this week? It didn't show up on the DVR.
