MONDO EXTRAS

I wonder if anyone will recap Martha Stewart: Home for the Holidays and, if so, how long it will take that recapper to poke his or her own eyes out with a hand-made Christmas tree ornament and then decoupage his or her ears shut.

An elephant mugs for the camera. Special! A monkey scratches himself. Highlight! Samburu bonds over piggybacking monkeys. Well, that is special. Bring on the piggybacking monkeys!

Day 6 brings a pep talk from Teresa. I believe that, when this episode aired, we were supposed to think Silas initiated this tribal conversation. Teresa laments the "tension and the friction" amongst the tribe members, and Silas insists that they're together. Brandon has been hearing differently, though, and he has "very perceptive ears." Carl points out that there are rumors about all of them being the next voted off. He then calls Brandon "Branford"; at first, we thought he called him "Brenda," which would have been a really mean thing to do since no one is as witchy as Brenda Walsh. Brandon matter-of-factly corrects him, and makes Carl look very bad. Teresa tells the others that they don't know what will happen down the road, but they know for sure they'll be picked off one by one if they don't win challenges. Silas talks and then makes a face at someone. Or maybe he grimaces. After all, he's only got two expressions.
