Stacy's Blog Has Got It Going On

 "Britta, I've been in a few real wars, this one is actually the most terrifying." -Leonard Rodriguez "For A Few Paintballs More" picks up back in the middle of the paintball game.  Troy (Donald Glover) and Abed (Danny Pudi) witness Pistol Patty and a squad of Stormtroopers enter the school.  Pistol Patty is revealed to be Stephen Spreck (Jordan Black), the Dean of City College.  Dean Spreck tells Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) that the entire paintball competition was just a clever way of getting Greendale students to destroy their own campus.  The Stormtroopers spot Troy and Abed and chase them off. The surviving Greendale paintballers meet up and Troy proposes they form an alliance to take down City College.  He deduces that the prize money must be real and that if a Greendale student wins, they can give the money to the school to undo the damage done by the paintball game.  The theme of the game changes from western to  Star Wars  and Abed takes ...

 "Have fun eating each other alive." -Rizo Velovic Lololololololololololololol.  The Knowledge is Power Advantage is one of my least favorite Advantages in all of Survivor and I am tickled pink that, once again, it failed.  It's never worked once and that makes me so happy.  I wish Jeff would take a damn hint and not use it again, but I doubt he will.  Anyway, let's get into who played well and who sucked. Who Played Well: I can't believe that anyone bought it, but it seems like Rizo managed to convince Kristina, Sage, and Steven that his Idol expired at the Final 6.  I truly hope they were all more skeptical than they appeared to be on screen because that's ridiculous.  He also managed to play his part in keeping Sophi B loyal to their trio, he held onto his Idol, and helped knock out Steven, his biggest threat. Savannah also played a big role in keeping Sophi B loyal.  I was skeptical of her choice to bring Rizo and Sophi B on Reward.  Thos...

 "You're just an average-looking guy with a big chin." -Jeff Winger "A Fistful of Paintballs" picks up with a brand new game of paintball in progress.  During Greendale's end of year picnic, which was western themed, the Dean (Jim Rash) announced a new game of paintball, but with a much smaller prize than the previous year's to keep things from getting out of hand.  However, the mascot of the ice cream company sponsoring the event, Pistol Patty, announced that the prize is one hundred thousand dollars, which causes absolute chaos and a western-themed game of paintball began. Neil (Charley Koontz) is chased through the halls by Mike (Anthony Michael Hall) and his goons.  Before they can shoot Neil, Annie (Allison Brie) appears and eliminates them.  Neil pleads with Annie to let him go with one of the paintball guns.  Annie agrees, but when Neil attempts to shoot her in the back, Annie gets the drop on him and takes him out of the game. Abed (Danny Pudi) t...

 "Spaghetti with garlic bread!" -Jeff Probst This episode doesn't quite reach the heights of last week's stellar episode, but it was still enjoyable enough.  I was especially surprised by how dangerous Steven's Journey appeared to be.  That definitely felt like something out of early Survivor , which was actually refreshing.  I'm just glad Steven didn't pull a  Survivor 44  Matthew.  Anyway, let's get into who played well and who sucked. Who Played Well: I don't think Sophie S should have gone home here, but it was a good move for both Rizo and Savannah.  They did a great job of recruiting people and helped make it a unanimous vote.  I especially liked the olive branch Rizo extended to Steven and Kristina on the Reward.  He got them to make a move that wasn't great for their game.  Plus, once again, Rizo managed to hang onto his Idol.  I don't love that they just let Steven go on the Journey without any resistance.  It cou...

 "Are you farting right now?" -Jawan Pitts This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for this episode of Survivor .  It's certainly my favorite since the Shannon-boot and it may be my favorite of the season so far.  This was just so much fun with so many different possibilities.  Plus Knowledge is Power wasn't used, so that's always a plus.  I love when an episode of  Survivor gets me on the edge of my seat, and this one did that.  Anyway, let's get into who played well and who sucked. Who Played Well: Rizo is really growing on me week by week.  I hate when he calls himself Rizgod.  I think it's what the kids call "cringe," but I'm really enjoying the way he plays the game.  I loved his fake Idol play to get a read of the other castaway's expressions and reactions, which allowed him to hold onto his real Idol for another week.  Plus I think taking out Jawan is good for him.  I don't think Jawan was a huge threat to win, but was part of a...

 "Well, don't tell any doctors I said this, but at this point the bus pretty much drives itself." -Abed Nadir "Applied Anthropology and Culinary Arts" picks up during Final Exam Day in Anthropology, where Professor Duncan (John Oliver) and the class are simply getting drunk instead of actually doing a final exam.  Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) unexpectedly enters the classroom with a reporter, Paul Jacobson (Chris Dugger), who is writing an article on the Dean for Dean Magazine .  They plan to sit in on Professor Duncan's final exam, who claims he left the exam papers in his office and flees the classroom. Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) begins to feel contractions, but insists it's just indigestion.  Britta (Gillian Jacobs) tries to give her unwanted suggestions on natural childbirth.  Jeff (Joel McHale) tries to get Britta to back off, which turns into an argument that is interrupted by Shirley's water breaking.  The Dean leaves to get his car so he can tak...
