Okay, I know I said yesterday I was too busy to write a full-blown brilliant commentary this week.  And I am.  But I could not let last night’s incredible episode slip into history without a few choice observations:

1) The Grave Digger lives!  And he’s gonna make it to the merge!

2) Sheria’s gone, baby, gone!  The best comment on that subject comes courtesy of Rachel, my best friend’s 9-year-old; ""Well, looks like Sheria went before her bra did."

3)  I’d be more likely to believe Todd is a big genius if he’d stop sharing his grand plots with EVERYONE.

4)  Courtney…a power player?  It happened.  For about five minutes.  Then she reminded everyone at Tribal Council what a vacant, mean beeyotch she is and you could literally see Todd change his vote.  Plus she made Jean-Robert actually look sympathetic.

5) Food challenge!  Yay!  Shoveling down chicken fetuses (packed in their own wet feathers!) will always make for great television.

Hopefully things will quiet down on my end next week, and I can get out another full-length commentary.  If not, let’s just give quiet thanks this season has exponentially improved over the last couple of episodes.
