Historically, there are two things on Survivor that are ALWAYS bad strategy ideas -- throwing challenges, and being brazenly overconfident about your strategy at TC. And right now, PG and Erin are doing both. May their asses be bitten for it.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Oh, yeah. Just reading the recap description of the behavior both during and after the challenge throwing had me wanting to smack someone. I am hoping for a spectacular karma beatdown soon. I already couldn't stand Peih Gee, and for the life of me I still can't remember the other one. I have to agree with Miss Ali over on TWOP. Several episodes into this season I still feel like I don't really know any of these people. And most of the ones that I do know are obnoxious.
I'll give a little slack to PG and her minion because their tomfoolery kept Frosti around for another week and James, Frosti and Denise are the only ones keeping me even remotely interested in this season of Survivor.

Punishingly Intricate
OMG, Rich's video-in-lieu-of-recap for last week's ANTM might be the funniest thing I've seen all year.
ha! my bff was just telling me about this at dinner. She was hoping he'd recap the rest of the season like that!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've seriously been singing "Saleisha" like "Aiesha" in my head all week.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
No "Next Iron Chef" discussion? I'm shocked.
That being said, Ruhlman's blog has some interesting insight into how things went down.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, clearly cooking for a tv contest does not resemble cooking for a restaurant very much.
It's a shame that Kayson's dish got ruined before it got to judges' table.

Didn't watch it in real time, so I haven't caught up on it yet. Hopefully tonight.

I'm two episodes behind on the Next Iron Chef.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, by the way, is anyone watching America's Next Great Band or whatever it is? 'Cause it's great, where it isn't freaking hilarious. Don't think much of the Simon stand-in, but it's cheesy fun, with added stressful band dynamics!

It really is the best of the "Competitive Cooking" genre. Kicks regular "Iron Chef America's" ass, and even edges out "Top Chef."
Although I fear Aaron Sanchez' comment that “The women are gone. Next they’ll be going after the brown people” may not be completely hyperbole.
