Survivor rules. This episode had more double-crosses and high level scheming than a whole season of Alias.
Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
That was awesome gameplay.
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.
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?)
I loved Russell the first time and I've hated home this time but that was amazing gameplay. You know it was not an accdent that he suggested Tyson vote for Parvati. And now, I'd say she is totally riding his coattails.
I should go look for Jeff's blog to get his thoughts.

You are not alone.
You are not alone.
My sistah!
I still cannot believe that Tyson was that stupid. There was absolutely no way he could've lost in Rob's 3-3-3 split plan but every possibility that what actually wound up happening could happen if he put his trust in Russell. In Russell! Why would one ever trust him? Rob and Sandra's faces were priceless. I didn't see Russell's season, and he's not been a favorite of mine on All Stars, but props for him for figuring out that Tyson was stupid enough to be turned. He also now knows that despite the "knighting" of coach, he didn't turn him. It will be interesting to see if the whole loyalty speech has any impact. I thought that part was particularly diabolical and an effective way to continue to try to peel Coach away from Rob's pack.
I think in the Russell's original season, he was a little bit nicer and more charitable in his comments - at least until the end. He called several people stupid, but not from the beginning. Plus, he was pretty amazing at how he found those idols. Basically, everyone disliked him but they couldn't get rid of him. I personally would have voted for him to win and I do think it really burned him that everyone voted for that blond girl whose name I can't remember because they just disliked him, I think.
Yes, Rob and Sandra's face were priceless, especially Rob. Jeff said in his blog that Rob and Russell would be amazing if they ever teamed up. I think that's true but I don't see it ever happening because they both despise the other so much. But it makes great TV.

? He was talking about 'stupid little girls' from the first episode.
I still don't get why anyone keeps Courtney around. She's such a useless little bag of bones. And sour--the snide comments during the challenge were so not on.
