I'm watching Survivor this season because of Philip.
Yes, I realize I am perverse. Why do you ask?
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
PHILIP OF THE PINK PANTIES?? Why, pray tell?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Because he is so off his shit. This entertains me for some reason. I am not rooting for him as a winner, mind you.

Because books.
I didn't watch the first Philip season, so I'm just being introduced to him now. Is he completely batshit crazy or just a little eccentric?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Amy,
that's the core of the debate. I think he is completely batshit. He makes some good sense about 15% of the time, but it is the other 85% where I'm like: wow, dude.

Because books.
Is he really a former FBI agent?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm catching up on Project Runway, and I think one thing that being judged as teams is doing is making not fucking up more valuable than making something that could be in contention to win, because the team with the most fuck ups is going to be the losing team and no one on that team will win. That is, playing it safe seems like a better strategy than it might have been in previous seasons.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
you could be right about that. I'm pleased in general with the quality of designs - certainly in the most recent episode. I am irritated that they let the person go who they did. I liked him a lot and thought Patricia should have been the one to leave EASILY

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'd think so but I'm not sure I'm seeing it play out that way in the designs as of yet.
