Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Nice, Survivor! I am loving this season a LOT.

So much this. Even though it leaves who it leaves.

Could there be anything funnier than watching Cowboy Casey sing "I Got a Feeling?" Love!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I also loved Tyson telling Coach, basically, just not to be such a huge douche. And Coach passionately saying I must be true to my douchey nature.

Ooh, I clearly need to go back and Hulu the first act. I jumped in late b/c I was re-setting all my season passes and didn't think to program Survivor in FIRST.

Jessica, it was so awesome. He started out with "I'm going to tell you some things you don't necessarily want to hear" to an already crying Coach and then said "Don't wear a feather to Tribal Council. Stop telling your stories - no one believes them. Do your tai chi where no one can see."

That's as near to verbatim as I can manage without going back to the tape. Seriously unbelievable.

The best part was the look on Coach's face when Tyson went from "I'll coach you through this" to "I'm going to tell you some things you don't necessarily want to hear". Total wonderment that he might need to change something.

PR: Can they even pretend at this point that prior performance doesn't count, because, seriously, Emilio should have gone home for that nasty piece of work.

Is anyone else really tired of Mila at this point? I'm glad she didn't win in the end. Jay's outfit was incredible.

Watched. That was some good teevee. I almost felt bad for Coach!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Re: Mila - eventually, she's gonna et booted for being a total one note. Srsly. I'm tired of this color blocking black and bullshit. If tha's all people wanted, the 60's would have never gone out of style and I'd beposting this wearing a patent leather mini skirt. Which I am, but that's not the point.

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, are you guys posting actual spoilers? (Which I don't want to see. . . or are you posting about last night's show?)

BTW, my tivo thought that the repeat at 8 central was the Hardware show and called the new episode something entirely different.

It was interesting that despite the two judges that had never been on the show before they auffed the guy who has been consistently wrong. I don't know what this means. . . possibly that the two judges who are there regularly swayed the opinion or that they really, really hated the one guy's outfit even though they thought that Emilio had misunderstood the project.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Can they even pretend at this point that prior performance doesn't count?

Have they been saying that? I haven't watched last night's (I, er, put it on, immediately paused it and left it paused for two hours while I read old Bureaucracy posts. Something is wrong with me), but but they have always talked about contestants' (that's not the word I want, is it?) previous work, except last year the judges weren't around consistently enough to be able to include previous work...
