Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't think anyone here watches the show, but I am alarmed to learn that Howard Stern will be a judge on America's Got Talent next season.

I guess I will stop watching that show cold turkey.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I feel like Coach is stoking the cult fires, I assume because he thinks it will help him, but maybe not because he is so into it (although I haven't seen tonight's ep yet).

I think Coach totally enjoys being a cult leader, but I also think the Christian angle is something he was playing up to keep Brandon in line. In past season's he's been all about the generic faux-Eastern mysticism.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG Pot Ledom. I can't imagine it's anything about her personal life (unless, Tyson????), because ANTM lives for that shit.

Not javachik

Survivor: As much as I could not stand Brandon for a minute, especially after he blamed Michaela for "causing" him to be attracted to her by being tall and good looking (which he was not called on at the Reunion show as I was hoping he would be), his entire family refused to support him and come to the Reunion show? pretty sad. They needed Dr. Phil on that one.

I think that a show with Brandon vs. Russell would be too uncomfortable a train wreck to watch, though; what was Jeff thinking?!

I'm sorry Ozzydidn't win. At least he got the audience vote for the consolation prize. It would have been really hard to be on that jury. I was hoping someone would ask if they could refrain from voting for anyone. Coach blew it by sticking to his original three. It was a Colby. He stuck to his guns, and in so doing, lost. Sophie as the winner. Eh, good for her.

The setting for the show was fabulous. The underwater filming is a big part of the show's attraction for me. I read somewhere that Probst would like it to be there, or a similar setting, if they were to pick a permanent location.

It was a decent enough season. The one that Rob won was tops IMHO, followed by the one where Coach and Courtney were the first members of the jury and started a band at Ponderosa. The Ponderosa episodes were the most fun of that season, really great.

not enough watch from the hall in the world.

As much of a tool as Brandon is, god damn is that one messed up kid. He's kind of heartbreaking.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

apparently, one blogger thinks Hantz vs. Hantz will actually happen.

I think it is straight up bullshit and I will skip that season.

That is a totally awesome idea!

Even though much of what they created was a bit lame, I really do like this show, especially the fact that it is pretty drama-and diva-free.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's an episode of Top Model on that I haven't seen, and they put the models on treadmill catwalks. It was pretty hilarious.
