Survivor: I'm sort of glad Russell is gone because he was so toxic. I don't think he ever had a chance after people had seen him play. Twice. Rob, otoh, is a really smart dude. I would totally hire him for just about anything, assuming I could be convicts that he was in my side.

Philip is weird and a little scary. But he was dead on about te lying.

Girrrrrl -- are you Drag Race watchers watching Untucked, too? Because, damn Raja's a bitch.

See, I didn't really get that. No black and white good queen/bad queen, as far as I can tell. I think Shangela does act like a victim, and if she's constantly the sum of parts other people put together, I can see why they would be resentful. And, like Raja, shit goes through my head that I really, really don't need to say out loud, because my thoughts can be pretty petty and bitchy. I think Delta was pot calling the kettle, because her insecurity is well established and the chip on her shoulder can be pretty epic.

OTOH. I am not totally loving the Heathers and I miss Jujubee and Pandora Boxx.

eta also, while Shangela was pretty damn funny, I went to a pimps and hos party dressed as my own pimp in 2000 (meara was there, though we didn't meet!) so she wasn't the first to come up with that concept.

See, I didn't really get that. No black and white good queen/bad queen, as far as I can tell.

I actually didn't mean that entirely negatively....

Gotcha. Oh, the pesky lack of tone on the internet.

TAR: So do you think that Vyxin (Vyxyn?) - already has the killer fatigue?

Yeah, the poor girl just lost her mind.

Do we know if there are going to be non-elimination legs? Or is the season just longer?

OMG, Vyxin. Pull it together! The fact that her meltdown was practically EXACTLY like the one she had in her previous season in Italy makes me think that maybe she doesn't quite have the fortitude for the race.

It seems like whenever anything goes offtrack, she just spirals out of control and shuts down completely.

Also, from Hayden's review:

I missed their prior season, but here, Vyxsin has a remarkable meltdown while Kent showers the women he allegedly cares for with tender stony silences and lovingly passive-aggressive recrimination. A parallel is drawn for us of how they came to leave their prior Amazing Race.

So true.

After her navigating meltdown, I didn't understand why Kent didn't do the zodiac task. She obviously had passed her max ability to deal. (Yes, I know there was a plane ride and other travel between her two breakdowns...but still).

Yeah, it seemed odd to me that she was the one doing that task. She was clearly having a bad day.
