At first I thought it was the accent, but as I listened more, that's not it, it's the way that she pronounces things (or doesn't, as the case may be)
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Because books.
Check the 9:00 eastern timeslot--I think that might be the new ep.
TVGuide shows that as the cover look challenge.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think the host needs intensive pronunciation training and support. I think this would be true if I were to be a host of a tv show in Mexico or France. Her vowels aren't quite right and given that she seems to have good comprehension of English, etc. I just think she needs 2 months with a vocal coach.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
That's what they all say.

I just listened to all the vocals (without video) and there were some that sounded better than I expected given the reactions. It's interesting, kind of like watching SYTYCD without sound. I do think our impressions are shaped as much by the visual of the performance as the vocal.

It makes sense -- she said she could hear the singers much more clearly on TV.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Survivor--So, the Heroes BRING IT to the competition big time. Looks like they are good as long as there are no puzzles involved.
And I woulda voted Randy out too, such a huge whiny drip he is. A weakness of mine is that if an evil person is actually amusing, like Tyson, I am much more on their side than if they are a more evil person but are also a downer.

Trust my rage
I actually thought the villains problem was that it was an individual task. They can band together but the heroes are stronger as individuals.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
You know, they keep saying that but then I start running the numbers -
Boston Rob, Coach, L'il Russell, memfault with the longish hair - all pretty big guys who like to think of themselves as very physical. Not that hugely far off from James, Colby, Tom, Rupert. Sandra = Cirie. Amanda = Parvati. Courtney/Candace, though I can't remember who's on which team. Jerri = Stephenie, when she was around.
They're pretty evenly matched. I know I'm forgetting one or two, but really.
I do agree that the Heroes not being able to let their group dynamic fuck it all up was probably decisive. But still a pretty shockingly shoddy performance from the Villians.
