I’m giddy! Why, you ask? Sharona is back!! I hope and expect that I will have some closure for her character and her story. That whole leaving-after-the-third-season thing left me empty. Let’s get to it…

Addison needs sex. Yep, that’s how the show opens. Her telling Sam about “down there” and how it’s drying up. Great opening. Or not. Pete has to bring Lucas to work because the babysitter is sick. Violet shows no emotion seeing her baby. And YAY – DELL IS BACK!!

OK, so I’m biased, being a Mets fan and all… but any episode that describes the Phillies winning the World Series as a “terrible ordeal” that caused major trauma has my vote for an Emmy nod. Not to mention the points scored for a good mascot fight.

The word “unprecedented” got thrown around a lot in tonight’s episode… and for good reason. Jeff Probst even admitted that one of the “unprecedented” events was the “scariest moment [he] has ever had on the show in 19 seasons.” A challenge canceled in the middle, both teams at Tribal Council, and an honest-to-goodness shot of one of the “invisible” cameraman when a castaway goes down. How very ominous… and the 5 straight days of rain didn’t help much either.

The episode starts with Sierra at the beach where she is trying to sell of some self made artwork on the boulevard. One man is persistent and he keeps on returning, Sierra’s seems to be playing hard to get. But the man, Nolin won’t budge, he tells her that he is interested in her making some artwork for him. Potentially even hosting an exhibition. Sierra takes his business card and obviously puts it to good use because the next time we see her she is hosting an exhibition.
