User blog comment:Nalyd Renrut/Jamaica Me Sweat Review/@comment-1734566-20100815220403

Like I said in my comment for your last review, I think some of these later episodes were surprisingly good.

And let me just start off with...NO!!!!!! OWEN?! WHY?!?!?! WHY WOULD YOU DUMP IZZY?! And just when he was ready to take her back...NO!!!!!!! IZZY?! WHY?!?!?! WHY WOULD YOU DUMP OWEN?! It's not fair! My second-favorite couple on the entire show (next to TxL) is GONE! WHY-HY-HY-HY-HY-HY?!?!? And then, to top it all off, the song. You're not alone, Nalyd buddy; I cried, too. It was a beautiful song, even with the jokes in the middle of it and the cute doodle animation, it was so sad, and so well sung. And it was sung by OWEN, and it still sounded sad. Definitely now my second favorite song in the season, coming extremely close to being my top favorite (after Come Fly With Us). :(

I liked the idea of them being stranded in Jamaica. Makes for a bit of an impromptu location. The ironic thing is, this location is so much more famous than wherever Chris said they were originally going (I forget what he said it was).

Tyler's running gag was good. First he reveals he has freakish-strong fingers, now he has practically zero visibility underwater? Oh Tyler, you never fail to surprise us. ;)

Yes, Sierra looked good in her bikini. But when I saw Al, I was like...ugh. Even JUSTIN wore a more modest swimsuit than that! XP

DJ's elimination was expected, and ironic, since this is his homeland. But I loved his encounter with the fire ants. A nice finishing touch to his curse story. Glad that's over. :P What was REALLY unexpected was Izzy's elimination. I mean, we were all expecting her to at least make it to Vegas. A real shocker to me. But I loved her exit. Can't wait for the Izzy-patented time machine to come out. XD

Oh, and a little something for you, Nalyd. If you pause at the shot of the entire elimination area, with Chef, Chris, and DJ, and look closely on top of the umbrella/hut-type thing above the bleachers...YOU CAN SEE ZEKE! :D

But what sealed this ep for me, the moment I first saw it, I knew that it would instantly become one of my favorite moments in the entire series. It always is, and always will be.



Chris: Will Chef ever be able to fix the plane up so that we can get out of here while I'm still young?

Noah: I don't know; did we land here in the 70's?

Chris: (shoves Noah hard, who stumbles over to the edge, tips over, then falls off while screaming like a girl).



Epic. Beyond epic. Universally epic. See, this is the kind of true, Noah/Chris conflicting interaction that the Kobold Necromancer has dreamed of, and always written about. :)

This was an epic episode, to me, exactly the same as Newfoundland. Thus, this ep also gets a 9.5/10 from me.
