Punishingly Intricate

No problem, Jesse (which I just totally said like "Yessie" in my head).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Big Girls Don't Cry

oh Kat. I cannot stand this song. When she started I was like "why couldn't she have chosen another Fergie song. Any other song." I would love to see her take on "Girl Can't Help It." I'm sure it would have been a trainwreck, but it would have been more entertaining.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No problem, Jesse (which I just totally said like "Yessie" in my head).

Heh. When I was in Mexico with grad school, I made fun (in my head) of a girl who said her name in English and then said people could call her [same name in Spanish], until I actually introduced myself to someone as Yesse.

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

If the only good thing that happens on Survivor this season is Boston Rob schooling Russell and making him cry like the punk he is, I will walk away satisfied.

Trust my rage

Holy shit! Survivor! I won't say anything yet but this season is good!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Survivor rules. This episode had more double-crosses and high level scheming than a whole season of Alias.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That was awesome gameplay.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

OMG, Survivor! I cannot believe it went down like that, at either TC really, but especially the Villains. I mean, really? Really? The stupid, it burns. Old boy deserves an Oscar if he could sell that crap. All Stars II is kicking butt.

Top Model with extra, added ALT is also kicking butt. I love Alasia and her silver bathing suit and skinny jeans, ghetto fabulous ass. And Tyra in a nude cat suit with Joan Collins shoulder pads? Magically delicious. ALT is a giant awesome fairy. I want him to cone to my house in hi caftan so we can discuss what kind of gauche is acceptable vs. what kind of gauche equals dreckitude.

On AI, well, it's breaking my heart, y'all. What on earth is a Demi Lovato and how do we make it go away? I guess tonight's musical guests showed the kids that they really don't need to be able to sing to become superstars. And Ellen getting sucked into booing Simon with the Dawg? Oh no, Ellen, no. Fight the power. Thank goodness for Mamasox and Siobahn's weird ass friends and family. Also, if they show Big Mike's baby one more time, I will have to sneak into Casa Idol and strangle him in his sleep with that Baby Bjorn. And why so much attention for the fruit of Mike's loins but no mention of the fact that Crystal also has a TCBIW whom she loves and misses? I see right through those tricks, Cecile Frot-Coutaz. You're not slick. I do not look forward to R&B night. That's always a cheesefest, and with this group's song picking ability, it should be doubly sucky. And I'd rather see Usher on SYTYCD when it comes down to it. As a singer, he's always been just a'ight.

And Le nubian, I have no defense for my Big Girls Don't Cry love. I know it is not a "good" sing by any definition. I really do blame Milo V. I'm helpless before the nekkid Peter. And nekkid and all tatted up and tricked out East LA gangsta? Oh, hell yes. Every time I hear that song, I just wanna be Fergie running around some California craftsman in my undies making out with Peter Petrelli. And I abhor what became of Heroes and the song still gets me every. single. time.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

OMG, I wished Tyson no specific harm, but it was absolutely delicious how he sealed his own fate. I laughed and laughed. That was probably the one bit of genuinely awesome gameplay that Russell did in both Samoa and so far here. (is there anything strategically awesome he did in Samoa? Other than telling us how awesome he was, finding hidden immunity idols, and having Natalie as a sidekick?)
