Ah. Thanks!
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, I was kinda idly watching but my Tivo flipped over to catch ABDC, at which point I watched my Tivo'd Lie to Me, so I am all kinds of confused about what happened.
There's a final 13 now? It really is like Cylon math, huh?
MMaSM: Dunno. Agree that the ballet dancer is nice to look at, but there's not a lot of there there for most of the finalists, I feel.
However, I am excited to see Tyson again, and I like that they're doing pure mentors. This show clearly needs that role, and I think television is better when a mentor is available.

Holy Fuck! Did that come out of left field or what??
I called it early in the show. Once they started whittling them down, and picked two girls, I even called that it would be those two and they would both make it. I am rarely right in AI world.
Unfortunately, after it was over, we realized that TiVo had picked AI over Survivor. Can someone tell me if it is worth seeking out online?

Nothing really surprising last night, Megan. Worth seeking out only if you're a die-hard completist - next week's Previouslies will cover everything you need to know.

It's like you don't even know me anymore. I guess this is why long-distance relationships rarely work.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, I think it's worth watching. Some excellent Tyson comments, A pretty good immunity competition and some sweet strategizing.

Does anyone else get a Jonny Fairplay vibe off of Tyson? Though he's all stealthy obnoxious.

Yes, though he seems less likely to get instantly punched in the face should we ever meet in person.

I really can't figure out if I think he's funny or totally obnoxious.
I have no such ambivalence about Coach, though. All tool, all the time.

I like Tyson more than Fairplay--he seems more self-aware. I probably wouldn't like hanging out with him IRL, but am enjoying his snarky asides. Coach, I just want to smak upside the head with a giant cluestick.
I loved the guys calling Sydney "Hottest Survivor Chick This Season." If I was there, I would totally be going meta about everything all the time. "Look at that, just like every other tribe we are having trouble making a fire."
