I can't decide. The scenery (when you can see it) is great, and both shows have had some nice bits about off-airport operations. Both have had some clumsy edits where they've shown the wrong plane in exterior shots. And both are...I don't know if "over-scripted" is the right term, but it's clear they are shooting the same story three or four different ways to get all the shots they are using -- they are not just tagging along on a bunch of flights and seeing what happens. It makes me wonder whether they are documenting things that happen, or just dramatizing and recreating pilots' tales. Probably some of both.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

I just saw a commercial for a Rob & Russell Survivor rematch. I will totally watch that.

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
no shit.
I might watch the first episode of this season of Survivor, but I hate Russell more than any previous contestant of Survivor. Can I spend a THIRD fucking season with him?
Do I really need to put myself through that?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I hate Russell more than any previous contestant of Survivor.
More than Fairplay?

Russell is odious but I my love for Boston Rob is great.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jessica,
ooh. that's the test isn't it? As human beings, they are probably equal, but on Survivor, I think Russell has been worse than Fairplay by mere fact that he has had SO much screen time.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Where are you seeing that Rob and Russell are involved in the next season? They weren't on the cast list I saw.

Ok, I found an article about Rob and Russell. At least this cycle has "redemption island" - two people enter, one survives. I can see Russell getting sent to that island pretty quick.

I just saw a commercial during football last night.
