I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I couldn't believe that all three women were in the bottom three: that was just. . . grrr.

And yeah, I'm all for anyone but Mike. I'm hoping that this was the kick in the pants that Antonia needs to pull it together for the final challenge.

Yeah, Mike would really irk. I'm mentally preparing myself for his win though because hardly ever does anything work out for me on reality tv.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And Mike looked so giddy in his talking-head interviews, maybe beyond just having won that challenge? I'm scared. Although Richard seems to be setting himself up to "choke" "again," so at least there's that?

Has the person who won the challenge at the finale place that was just before the finale ever won the finale?

Sam Talbot (season 2) in the fashion section of the New York Times.

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

Survivor: So, Russell is really gone. I have to admit, I was kinda touched that he cried, even if he is a deeply damaged guy.

I loved Boston Rob making up a game just so he could find the idol. "Royal Treatment," my ass. He is one smart cookie.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I was severly underwhelmed by the ANTM make over episode. Nobody even cried all that much. Also, Tyra tried to re-brand the Louise Brooks bob as a Dutch Boy, but I'm not buying. Still, that was one of her best make overs ever.

The models continue to be dull and uninteresting. But ALT wore a scrub brush on his head, so there was that.

I know! I kept expecting at least one of them to lose it, but no...even that bad weave didn't get a tear, just a little anger. They all seem so blah this cycle. ALT's hat has got to go, it's distracting to see it bobbing away when he's talking. What was up with Miss Jay's hair when they got to the salon!?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh, we cannot speak on Miss Jay's hair. That was a travesty.

These girls are all dull as dishwater. Even the one girl that they are trying to play up as the bitch of the house is only mostly kind of annoying.

The only thing I'm looking forward to at this point is the clue stick being applied to Alexandria by Mr. Jay or Nigel. If that doesn't happen, I may find another use of my time at 8 on Wednesdays. Although Sara pulling out the LotR ref last night made the episode for me.

Well, there wasn't much that was very radical. Not that I think they should be shaving off tooth enamel, but did anyone even change hair color besides the eliminated girl?
