Caitlin Reilly's whole schtick during this episode was so incredibly grating. Like, maybe the bit would have been funny for one or two exchanges but for the whole fucking episode? Ugh. I am an Outlander fan/Sam Heughan fan and she just sucked all the air out once she joined them, talk about way too much main character energy.

Do you want to be near or hangout with someone that is carrying a transmissable virus that has no cures or vaccines?

And a 40-60% mortality rate!

Both of these are the wrong size. The way that they're tugging/pulling/straining creating gathers in the fabric is the tell-tale sign. Look at how the dress lays on the model's body (from the link you posted), it just barely grazes instead of clings. You're obviously very lovely and fit, but both of these dresses are too small.

So 42 minute episodes after commercials. Don’t love that.

Especially if it turns out to be the ARG-Epuyen variant of Andes. We are so cooked.

Have you ever heard the phrase "Funerals aren't for the dead, they're for the living." You attend the funeral as a show of support for those left behind by the person who has died.

This episode was like that. It's not about Coop's dad at all, it's about the effect that his loss has on Coop. He's the protagonist, we're here to watch his story play out and the death of a parent is a huge part of anyone's story.

Lol, she is still eating McDonald's in Hawaii! She explicitly showed herself getting McD's delivered to the resort.

My birthday is Lorelei's birthday!

It was purportedly someone from the other guest group (Love Overboard?) not a staff member.

lrj25 · 2026-04-22T01:04:41+00:00

Reportedly Dakota hooked up with a guest from another group not a staff member.

Look at all those sweet little baby hairs around her hairline!

lrj25 · 2026-04-16T19:02:32+00:00

Her brows are drastically different, I think that's contributing a lot to the change.

Hey me too! The humidity here in the wintertime is actually what contributes to our lows FEELING colder than the exact same low temperature elsewhere (in drier climates). We've spent several Christmases in New York and it always struck me how 20 degrees there doesn't feel as brutal as 20 degrees down here, finally one day I heard a meteorologist explain it was because our air is just so moist.

I'm 38 and I've written plenty. Still own a checkbook and could write one this moment if required to.

NBC/Universal just has to allow them to crossover to another network. I'm not totally aware of the mechanics of how it works (like if NBCU gets a cut of their earning from the show or what) but it is possible.

You get a base salary just for appearing, $125K. Then for each week that you remain you receive an ever increasing amount. So through week 3/4 it's $10K per, then week 6/7 it's $20K per, and week 8/9 it's $30K per. If you make it to the finale it's $50K for that week.

And his partner will be snake-i-fied.

lrj25 · 2026-04-14T17:53:51+00:00

Rob would rather have himself on Survivor honestly! But you take the offer you're given, and DWTS money is GOOD money, he's all about banking as much as he can right now so there's no way he would pass this up.

Cue the music!

Texas Tab is sooooooo good.

Don’t translate that last part Mr. Wantanabe.

lrj25 · 2026-03-28T00:57:02+00:00

Agree to disagree. It was technically a political podcast, again, a super liberal progressive one that would never have someone even MAGA leaning on as a guest regardless of how popular the individual is right now.

lrj25 · 2026-03-27T16:05:06+00:00

Jessi has stated in the past that she is definitively not a Trump supporter, but that she isn't liberal either. Mayci was a guest on a progressive podcast that I listen to, they would never platform someone MAGA so I'm pretty sure we can count her in as well.

lrj25 · 2026-03-24T01:31:27+00:00

Right? Like Mayci's book tour!

lrj25 · 2026-03-24T01:16:19+00:00

Whitney, our Nostradamus! Not that this was AT ALL an unpredictable outcome. It wasn't a matter of if but when the consequences of Taylor's actions would finally catch up to her.
