Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I like Tyson more than Fairplay--he seems more self-aware. I probably wouldn't like hanging out with him IRL, but am enjoying his snarky asides. Coach, I just want to smak upside the head with a giant cluestick.

I loved the guys calling Sydney "Hottest Survivor Chick This Season." If I was there, I would totally be going meta about everything all the time. "Look at that, just like every other tribe we are having trouble making a fire."

TAR: Good move on Luke's part, as much as I like Amanda and Kris. They were a very strong team, so U-turning them was smart. I cannot believe that the stunt brothers ran out of money--they've got to be stingier in the future! And next week's ep looks completely gratuitous. T&A for everyone to see!

I am in a surprising position that I do not wish any team on the season's TAR any specific harm. Though if Victor pulls his crazy control freak/passive aggressive crap again, that may change. And that is the real truth flavor.

Yeah, I'm liking these racers overall. Even the pretty teams, such as the flight attendents and the cheerleaders, are growing on me. I liked the cheerleaders boasting how no boys helped them stack the wood--"Girls rule, boys drool!"

I laughed when the stunt guys' cabbie pointed out that the watch they were trying to give him with what money they had was nowhere as good as his Rolex.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it's like this year's Top Chef -- I wasn't root against anyone, so it was nice to see a lot of people doing well.

Who was the third person Mike said Mel was? _______, with a little Billy Graham and a little Judy Garland? (Was it even Judy Garland, or am I just stereotyping? It was some gay icon....)

Woody Allen? Someone funny? I want to put it in my Facebook status!

Art Crawl!!!

It was Woody Allen.

I think u-turning Amanda and Kris was a smart move. And we've got three all female teams left! And no more couples. It's kind of amazing.
