Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Now I kind of want to make (or see) a show where there is secret hidden dialog or messages hidden in the caption track.

Sean is subversive.

He wants to make subversive things.

We adore Sean because of this.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Subtle like rushing to check her life-threatening cheek scratch

And totally grabbing her face like she's incapable of moving her own neck.

After ~30 days, will Hurley remain heavy?

I'd say so. Larger people tend to have lower metabolisms, so he may lose less weight per day than people with a much smaller share of extra padding.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'd like to see the actor playing Hurley start losing weight noticably, maybe 20 pounds+, in the first season/40 days.

He's strong, capable, and pitches in. The restricted diet, mostly proteins and fish and a little boar meat together with the physical activity, IRL he'd be rolling off the weight after a month.

Mainly I know this because I was (and am again) big like that and I started shedding pounds like water when I was isolated taking care of a run-down resort back during the summer when I was in college.

Poor actor would have to work hard off camera for it, tho.

Go ahead. Turn this into an Atkins advert.

We will lurve Kat, anyway.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sawyer: "I made this birthday wish four years ago."

Any other "four years" references so far?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Jack, you're trapped in an alpha male body. Deal, buddy.

Damn, I like Locke. I also dig Hurley. Shannon's the only one I want to vote off the island.

Go, DCJ, with pounds-shedding!

Several of the heaviest Survivor contestants could still be described as heavy after even an almost 40 day stint on the show.

ETA: Context, and: while many of the skinnier contestants turned positively skeletal.
