Lol, it's cool. I'm not into Big Brother, sorry, but I can see why some people like it. On that note, though - as a BB watcher, what are your thoughts on Caleb, going into this new season of Survivor next year?

And otherwise: Yeah, pretty much agreed; ESPECIALLY on Terry. He SO needs another shot after what happened because, in all seriousness, it is my belief that had he not been pulled from the game and had he survived the merge (which seemed likelier than the edit would have us believe) he very well could've gone far in the game Keith-style, seeing as how those two very much are cut from the same cloth (older dudes who are good in challenges, not strategically-minded, but generally popular/easily-likable, so people would take them far more as allies than as goats or huge threats). And between Terry and Keith, I can see Terry being willing to do a third run, since his second chance was cut so short and also because he seems like the kind who can maintain the stamina to play this game for well into his late-50's and even early-60's, Rudy-style - whereas Keith, having gone far a SECOND time and being in lesser shape, might turn down a third run (assuming it's ever offered in the first place).

I've said this numerous times about Wiglesworth, but it seems to me that she just didn't want to be there, so I give production just THAT much of a modicum of slack in that she probably wasn't giving them much to work on; but knowing this editing team, capable of giving us such misleads and mountains-out-of-molehills narratives that made us think Carolyn or Spencer could actually get more jury votes than they actually did, I'm sure they COULD have made something out of Wiglesworth's time out there, if they at least tried.

I guess you had more hope for Monica than I did. I barely remember her and was pretty shocked that she came back, but I thought maybe she'd get SOME focus at the least because she does seem (and sure enough, tried to be) like a Parvati-esque player. Woo, I couldn't have cared less for. What little exposure he got (him standing up to Spencer and Shirin in Episode 2) was more than enough for me in terms of what little story/character he had.

Yeah, Varner was just insane. It's clear that he didn't follow his own mantra, since he was all "Those who play hard right out of the gate MUST go," yet here he was playing harder in Eps 1 - 4 than any other pre-merge player in recent memory. Agreed, he definitely wanted to use his second chance to redefine himself as a villain, a la Jonathan Penner in Philippines, and I think he may have done more than enough to all but guarantee being invited back for a third run, ESPECIALLY if it's HvV 2.
