Last night on TV, Peter Weller sucked the life out a train, Survivor sucked some ad dollars out of Outback Steakhouse, and the designers breathed some life into the Models.

Well, it beats scrounging for bugs. But just barely.
Fringe: Fairchild
On Fringe last night, iconoclastic MIT physics professor Peter Weller sucked the life out of a train car full of people. When the Fringe gang tracked him down, he traveled back in time ten hours and did it all over again, which means we got to see the same exact scenes, with slight variations, all over again. It was kind of interesting! And kind of tedious! He also did a lot of fun, grotesque things to his body, like sticking various mechanical parts into his skin, all in the service of trying to figure out how to travel back in time ten months and prevent his fiancée from dying in a car accident. Walter sort of talked him out of it, using the time-honored “you might suck the life out of hundreds of innocent people if you do this” argument… but, though a confusing series of events, Weller traveled back in time ten months anyway. The good news: He didn’t end up killing hundreds of innocent people after all. The bad news: He got smooshed to
a pulp by a speeding truck.
Survivor: Schoonie
The Villains win a reward of Outback Steakhouse, and Parvati stumbles upon a clue in her napkin. She chooses to share this information with Danielle, but hide it from Russell, and then she finds the idol in about four seconds. Lucky for Russell that JT and Rupert are completely retarded: they’re so convinced that he’s on the outskirts of a women’s alliance that they GIVE HIM THE IMMUNITY IDOL at the next challenge. Yes, they just straight up give it to him. Yes, it’s probably the dumbest thing ever done on this show. To make thing even better, JT writes the longest, most heartfelt MASH letter to Russell, telling him that after he uses the idol to get rid of Parvati, they’ll run away from their overbearing parents and raise alpacas on a farm in the middle of nowhere, living off of the meager land and surviving only on their love. It is truly phenomenal.
So the Villains, they lose? And then it’s obviously going to be Sandra or Courtney, and it ends up being Courtney, which is fine with me, because 1: the merge is next week, so Sandra has about a million options to save her own ass, and 2: I am SO down to watch Ponderosa videos featuring only Courtney and Coach.
Models of the Runway: PottyMouth
Last night’s Models of the Runway was actually interesting. For once. Know why? Because the deisgners were on the show. So now we have all learned that models are only interesting when their deisgners are around.
Emilioth tellth Heidi he hath NO competition, while Mila and Old Hambert trash talk his “original” print. LOVE it!
There are drinks with eliminated models (Cerri!!) and dinner for six that includes the designers picks for who they think should win, and who the worst designer of the season was.
Come back later for the full recap and we can discuss Old Eyes’ new hairdo, Emilioth’th overflated ego, and my excitement over next week’s episode!!
If you like it, spread it!:

Uh, don’t get too attached to the Cockroach. I suspect she’s the next to go.
I LURVED JT’s note. It had a very JAMES BOND (in 7th grade) feel to it.
If I were to write a note to Russell it would be very much like JT’s except mine would end with, “from your number one fan! Love Mr. Dangerous.”
[too creepy?]
I don’t often read these, but last night was some shit hot TV!!!
Mr. D, was it just us, there was something downright erotic about that whole thing, the love note, the nodding, the winking, the desperate (does he see me, does he know, I will save him, I must reach him) not to mention the low hanging shorts on russell revealing a very hot version of my favorite part of a man’s anatomy. Then the hug and the exchange–pure gold!!!
Also absolutely delightful to have Rupert going on and on while Parv reads the love note aloud to much giggling!!! I didn’t know this show had it in it!!! Can’t wait for the cap.
And Models, I so agree, best epi of the season. I also liked the back talk from the models about (esp Lispy’s) collections. Just when it seems Lispy can’t get any worse, he raises the bar to disasterous heights!!! Both shows were filled with delicious moments, some of outrage, and some of joy!
Dumbest.move.ever.
‘Nuff said.
UGH. JT and co deserved to get screwed over for being so dumb. OVER IT.
When does next season start?
Yes, Juddfan
The constant looking and eye contact seemed very GAY to me too.
Uh, and I’ve also been searching for a shot of Russell in that pose you’re describing.
When I find it I’m putting it as my desktop background.
It was during the Colby chat on the rafts.
