Amber Riley was AMAZING. I saw a clip on youtube and she was WORKING it.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Compare and contrast: adidas by Stella McCartney to the workout wear from Project Runway the other week.

And to piss me off one last time, the BB finale runs until 11! I don't need that shit.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the winner of BB. The least-worst person won?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm peeved at the Survivor producers for not mixing up the tribes - it would have been dead easy to put together two tribes mixed old/new but still splitting up all the loved ones.
That said, I do like the idea of loved ones competing against each other. Will they still do the loved-one visit challenge, I wonder?

Because books.
It does make an interesting dynamic, and I think Brad got it from the start -- how will you feel when it's your loved one in the other camp, soaking wet and hungry?
That said, it's a little surprising that none of them realized there would be a twist. I just completely unconsciously repeated your "That said," Jessica. I'm probably one of those people who starts talking with a Southern accent if I'm in the South.

But they could have gotten the same dynamic out of two tribes that were each half returning players and half loved ones. (Draw for team captains from the returning players. Have them do a schoolyard pick with rules that if you are a returning player, you must pick a loved one but not yours, and vice versa. BOOM, two teams of roughly equal experience.)

Oh,I agree. This way it's weighted all wrong from the start. Although you could argue Fans vs. Favorites was done the same way.
