Cheat Work Thursday

"LIE, CHEAT AND STEAL" So, Spencer's strange edit is finally explained. The stories about growth and "feelings" that felt forced were there to explain the zero votes he received at final tribal. I'm happy for Jeremy, what a likeable winner and man. But I'm also bummed that Spencer lost -- with no votes at all. It took me a day to process this because to feel disappointed immediately after the winner was announced felt like a knock on Jeremy's win, and how could you do that? Jeremy played a good game and did well at the final tribal. Then it felt like we were missing something. Ok, clearly, we are missing votes here. But in a season of all-returnees and many alleged superfans who have declared time and time again of their love for game strategy, not a single juror appreciates Spencer's gameplay? It's hard for me to say this about this jury because I love, love most of the people on it, and I still enjoy watching those that I ...

"VILLAINS HAVE MORE FUN" I'm at a point where I can no longer understand Spencer's confessionals or why there are so many of them. On the other hand, OMG, next week is the finale! I haven't had enough of this season yet. So, it's the morning of day 33. On their usual Starbucks run, Jeremy and Spencer share their worries about their previous night's move getting rid of Joe. Then it's the reward challenge time: an obstacle course that includes untangling rope, creating bridge and tossing sandbags to knock off wooden blocks, and Keith wins it again. He won the same challenge the first time they had it on the show in SJDS. Ok, we know Keith doesn't do yoga, so now I want to know, what does he do in his daily life that makes him good at challenges at 55. Because when I'm 55, I want to be fit enough to run, swim and climb too. (You know, I don't need to run, swim and climb now .) In a very awkward reward pick yet, Keith picks Kelley ...

"TINY LITTLE SHANKS TO THE HEART" Great episode, so many good lines. The episode starts with Spencer and Jeremy having an awkward conversation while having coffee and walking by the beach, checking in with each other to see if they are still good. Meanwhile, Kimmi is suggesting an all-woman alliance to Kelley and Tasha, which means Joe has to go next. Tasha nods her head, and Kelley -- don't worry, she agrees to anything. Then it's time for another reward challenge, and it's the loved ones visit. Ugh. Immediately you knew it, in about two minutes, Spencer was going to confess his love for the first time to his girlfriend. Ok, if you want me to melt my cold heart a little bit, I do like some of the reunions: – Tasha-Cousin Christina, because the second Christina's on screen, it's hard to resist joy with her infectious happiness. – Joe-Dad, because Joe has been talking about his goal to get to the family visit since his first season. I believe...
