'You look like Ace Ventura, pet detective.' '[Thinks it over] Both are sexually viable — let's rock!' Josefina (Rose Abdoo) tells Ava (Hannah Einbinder) that she looks more like a '90s Jim Carrey than a sexy twenty-something 'Come on, look who you've become. You don't need some cliché makeover.' 'I meant for both of us. Do you just buy your shirts from Target, or do you also work there?' Now that Summer (Spencer Grammer) has pointed it out, we'll never look at Beth's (Sarah Chalke) red polo the same way again 'I let you live. I let you live, and you wasted it.' Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) makes some good points near the end of the finale 'This used to be an ice cream place. They had the most amazing salted caramel. It'd be cool if they reopened, wouldn't it? Blessed be the fruit.' 'Oh my f—king God.' 'That's blasphemy.'

'So, what is the canonization process like? Are there luncheons? Do the cardinals campaign?' 'It's the Vatican, Mother, not the Golden Globes.' 'Darling, they're both just money laundering schemes with fabulous wardrobes.' We just know Victoria (Christine Baranski) watched the heck out of Conclave last fall 'Congratulations — it's a boy!' A shellshocked Gio (Giovanni Mazza) reveals to Tracy that she's his great grandmother 'What a mess. You can just tell these eggs weren't scrambled by a woman doing a thousand-yard stare out the kitchen window.' 'Agreed. A bit low on malaise.' With Lois gone, Stewie (Seth MacFarlane) and Chris (Seth Green) are forced to cook their own breakfast, and they're not happy about it 'About 50% of the investments on Galactica are in anonymous crypto, so we all know what that means….' '[Sophie, shaking her head] Hmm?' '[Eliot, sheepishly] I don't know what that means.' 'We literally take down corporate bad guys all day and you don't know what anonymous…? OK!' Breanna (Aleyse Shannon) stumbles upon her teammates' blind spot 'Can you look into an Arizona-based paramedic with any negative history named Brad?' ''Please'….?' 'What?'

Boston Rob Turned Down ‘Survivor 50' Offer Because ‘I Wanted My Spot to Go to Someone Who Deserved Another Chance,' Tells Fans: ‘Don't Be Mad'
'Survivor' announced its cast this week for the show's 50th season, but not every fan was too pleased with who got invited to come back. While the return of 'The White Lotus' creator Mike White and fan favorites like Cirie Fields and Ozzy Lusth generated excitement, the omission of iconic players like Rob Mariano (aka Boston Rob), Parvati Shallow and more left many fans scratching their heads as they wondered why so many players from older seasons of 'Survivor' were not included. Boston Rob, whose reality show career has flourished in recent years with appearances on 'The Traitors' and more, has now taken to Instagram to explain his absence from 'Survivor 50.' It turns out the show did ask him to return, but he made the decision to opt out in order to give other players their chance to return to the 'Survivor' spotlight. More from Variety 'Survivor 49' Cast Includes 'Black Panther' Producer and Former Marvel Exec Nate Moore Jeff Probst on Why He Worried 'Survivor' Was 'Doomed' After Season 1, What Season 50 Gameplay He Hopes Fans Vote For and Whether a Live Finale Could Return Jeff Probst's First-Ever Tears on Air Bring 'Survivor' to a Season High of 4.5 Million Viewers 'Wow!!! I got all of your DM's and messages so so many thank you all!! But literally don't be mad,' Boston Rob wrote in a message to fans. ''Survivor' and Jeff Probst early on they called and asked… I just felt like I have played so many times and I am truly fulfilled with my 'Survivor' journey. I wanted my spot to go to someone else that deserved another chance!' 'I've gotten so much out of 'Survivor,'' he added. 'It will always be a part of who I am! I'm eternally grateful. Like I said ..It's gonna be OK. I feel like something good is coming!!!' Boston Rob is one of 'Survivor's' most prolific contestants and the only one to compete on five seasons of the show. He debuted in Season 4, 'Survivor: Marquesas,' and placed 10th, before returning for the first time in Season 8's 'Survivor: All-Stars' and being the runner-up. He appeared on 'Survivors: Heroes vs. Villains' (13th place) and won 'Survivor: Redemption' before serving as a mentor on 'Survivor: Island.' His last appearance on the show was Season 40, 'Survivor: Winners at War.' 'Survivor 50' will feature 24 returning players and will premiere on CBS in Spring 2026. The milestone anniversary season promises to 'push the series into uncharted territory and impact the players like never before.' For the first time, the game is also being planned by the fans. Earlier this year, fans were able to vote on key elements of the game, including on whether there will be idols, whether fire making will remain and whether the live finale and reunion show will return in Los Angeles. The 'Survivor 50' contestants will compete for a $1 million cash prize. See the full 'Survivor 50' cast here.

A New Cohle And Hart ‘True Detective' Season Has Been Discussed
True Detective True Detective has been a bizarre adventure in serialization, the first season being one of the best detective stories put to television, and the others being a rollercoaster of quality culminating in the recent True Detective: Night Country, which formed some tenuous links to season 1. But those links could bear fruit. True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto told the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast that there's an idea that may reunite Matthew McConaughey's Rust Cohle and Woody Harrelson's Marty Hart. And the actors are open to the idea. 'I actually have another story for Cohle and Hart that — who knows? — maybe we'll do it one day,' Pizzolatto said. 'It's character-based again. … But it's not something I've written or anything. It's just, I had that in my head. And we've talked about getting back together and doing it, and I think the guys are open to it. It's just a question of whether that would ever happen or not.' So, would this potentially be season 5 of True Detective? No, it wouldn't. It may not be broad knowledge, but season 5 is already greenlit with Night Country's showrunner Issa López back for more. So, if this Cohle and Hart season did exist, we would likely not see it for years, especially if it's still in the concept phase. We do not have a release window for López's season 5 at this point either, though no doubt that's further along. True Detective The series has spanned a decade now, which has produced four seasons. There was a very short gap between seasons 1 and 2, a year and a half, before switching to 4-5 year gaps to get to season 3 and season 4. As for what the new Cohle and Hart storyline would be, Pizzolato does not go into that here. Night Country featured Rust Cohle's father and had the 'spiral' mythology return, but that was about it. Season 1 ended without the 'bad guys' getting taken down in full, the large-spanning, abusive cult. Presumably, this would have to be a story taking place in their later years, as I'm trying to imagine how more flashbacks would work, but who knows. One thing that I think was missing from all the other seasons of True Detective was director Cary Joji Fukunaga. Pizzolatto only seems like one part of the puzzle, but it was Fukunaga's direction that rounded out the season and made it what it was. And you can feel his absence in the other, lesser seasons. Fukunaga went on to direct shows like Masters of the Air and Maniac, and films like No Time to Die and Beasts of No Nation. It's unclear if it would be possible to get him to return, not just the actors. I would certainly be interested to see where this project could go, but if it does happen, it seems like it would be a long, long way off. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
