LAST EDITED ON 04-27-11 AT 01:14 AM (EST)

Have I mentioned how much I hate this season?

So what they say doesn't have to be absolutely true just as long as it is mostly true or they can parse it somehow or if we're the only ones who take it so gosh all seriously or something. At least that's nothing new.

The one thing I think is an absolute is that they have to cram each planned episode into so many minutes per week. Maybe from time to time they can grab an extra minute or two of air time if the network lets them.

What constitutes a TC? If we think in terms of what they plan for, basically they want to end each regular episode with a TC. Two Tribals pre-merge is planned to send both tribes to TC in one cycle, one person being voted out of each tribe, so each vote out constitutes a separate TC. Then there's what they allow for. Shucks, whatsisname took a header and had to be sent to the hospital, let's have a TC so we can end the episode. What, the diva and the beach bunny both want to quit, we better have a TC to deal with the both of them.

In the new physics of game destructive Redemption Island getting voted out isn't getting eliminated, but we've already had three episodes with no eliminations, what's one more. This season isn't the first time there has been an episode with no elimination, though it used to be very rare. Cool, we've got a tied vote going into a tie-breaker challenge, let's pull out the "To Be Continued" flag to take us into finale!

Just saying. Truth, it just isn't that big a deal, they like it well enough but they aren't married to it. Never have been.

Right now they're in the tedious part of the game. It often happens, at some point it usually becomes things just playing out a certain way, let's get through it as best we can. Fortunately, they don't even really need to cast or script for it, drama always turns up. Where was I going?

Right, truth. They say because of RI and duels it will all be combined reward and immunity challenges. But then after the merge rewards just vanish for a long time. And they can point out that it was just one challenge per TC. Truth, right?

So, time is what they really think about and have to budget, that's how they construct their plans. Where is it written that there has to be a Reward Challenge for there to be a Family Visit? They could just do the Family Visit version of Survivor Auction, which was never actually a challenge although that's what it is called. Family Visit on its own can eat up simply gobs of time especially if everyone gets a visitor.

Part of TDT's projection, by the way, allows Probst a day off for the S21 broadcast premiere. Time.
