Ghosts star 34 year old Rose McIver from New Zealand:



Young Rose McIver?

Spoiler:

Nope, The Last Thing He Told Me star 22 year old Angourie Rice from Australia. Am I the only one that thinks they look alike? I could not find a doppelganger link with googling.

... Full lineup:

Where was Dick Van Dyke?

97, too old?

Harvey Korman, died 2008, 81.
Tim Conway, died 2019, 85.
Lyle Waggoner, died 2020, 84.

Don't think so, he's as spry as a 97 year old can be.

Dick Van Dyke will make his soap opera debut on Days Of Our Lives.

The 97-year-old is set to appear as a guest star on a forthcoming episode of the long-running series.

Van Dyke told Access Hollywood that the role came about after he met Days Of Our Lives star Drake Hogestyn at the gym and asked him for a part on the show.

Doesn't seem like any bad blood, just bad writing.

Glad he's doing so well. Gotta be some reason he wasn't on the CB 90th birthday special. Maybe only folks younger than CB allowed, no upstaging?

[O Really]

I'll catch it on Peacock. Not missing Survivor for it.

Another good episode.

Frannie's still a beast.
Danny needs to be gone.
Maybe they changed the edit, but I don't find Yam Yam as offensive as I did.
Competitions are brutal this season, and apparently they've made food scarcer than usual. And it looks like they don't even have fishing gear any more.

Frannie is my #1
Caroline is still gold.

Danny can go.
Carson has lost his luster.

At the beginning of the episode I thought Yam Yam was gone because they gave him the "I'm in control" line.

A little worrisome that they're making Yam less annoying. Giving me Mary Anne vibes.

I'm sure they've still got their fishing gear, I just don't think those beaches are teeming with game fish. If they were, after however many years they've been in Fuji we'd know about it.

[GoCubsGo]

I'll be tuning in.

[Vrede too]

I'll be tuning in.

Noooooooo
Booooooooo


And Danny is still there!

At least the showmance is still going strong. Frannie and Matt may be the real winners.

[O Really]

Aarrrrrrgghhh!!!!!
Go Carolyn, I guess.

[GoCubsGo]

Aarrrrrrgghhh!!!!!
Go Carolyn, I guess.

Edit wise it looks like Carolyn, Yam Yam or Danny that have been getting the love.

[O Really]

No Danny boy
You're ripe you're ripe for falling
Off your high horse there's nowhere left to hide
Your time is gone and all the votes are falling
O Danny boy O Danny boy it's time to go.

Sweet Carolyn wo wo wo...

I do not like him in the boat
I only want him gone by vote
I do not like him worth a damn
I do not like that effin Yam

[O Really]

Holy shit - James just got two Daily Doubles in a row, bet it on all each one. Looks like this game may be over already.

[GoCubsGo]

Aarrrrrrgghhh!!!!!

This was a no brainer decision that was five years overdue. Maybe now they can bring back fun stuff like credits and the auction.

Vice Special Report
American Terror: Extremism in the Ranks
Season 1, Episode 4 • New
11:00 PM EST ON VICE • Stereo • CC

Just began on VICE TV. They're also good about putting reruns on their website.
https://www.vicetv.com/en_us
Not posted yet, though.

Vice and Motherboard owner files for bankruptcy

It'll be a shame if Vice TV shuts down. It's been the source of some great cutting edge progressive investigations, reporting and programming - Antifa, White supremacy, police corruption, abuse and brutality, etc.

[GoCubsGo]

Aarrrrrrgghhh!!!!!
Go Carolyn, I guess.

Spoiler:

Good season, not top tier but at least I didn't want to throw my remote.

Good final three and final tribal council. Sorry for Carson. Can't believe Carolyn didn't get any votes.

We obviously don't see everything.

I didn't watch so had no favorites, but looking at objective factors:

Spoiler:

I think it's cool that Puerto Ricans were #1 and #2.
I like that it was a female Engineer and a gay male Salon Owner.
#3 Carolyn has a rugged history and is doing her best with it as a Drug Counselor. Then, her dad Chuck is a longtime Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party state senator.

It's a shame that reruns won't be aired in the South.
Winner Yam Yam: "I love to do bearded drag at Halloween."

Spoiler:

Survivor got a lot of shit a few years ago for not being inclusive enough and rightly so. Something like 20% of their casting were people of color. They admitted their bad, said they were going to do better and did.

Not only is it more representative, but they've managed to get some really good personalities in the process. The worst winner of the past few seasons was the only white guy.

[O Really]

GoCubsGo hit it several weeks ago noting that Yam Yam was getting improved edits. Looks from the vote that everybody in the jury pretty much had their minds made up. And, despite my not liking him very much, Yam Yam did play a very good game all round. If Heidi had lost that fire-making, she would have gone down as one of the biggest goats (not in a good way) ever - right past those who have gone home with idols in their pockets.
