thanks thehepburn--yes, the Insider clip you mention, that's what I remembered where Sophie was down on Edna.

On another note -- the Prince Albert comment --

Rick says this, right? I don't know if Rick would even think of the historical Prince Albert, but where else would it come from?

Anyway, as we all know, Victoria was the strong female monarch and Albert was merely the Prince consort. I wonder if this is about perception that Sophie is the queen and Albert does her bidding.

re: "Prince Albert"

I think you are according Rick a depth of thought he just hasnt shown so far. I think he calls him 'Prince Albert' because Al probably comes as a metrosexual to a cowboy like Rick and maybe he doesnt do much around camp. He was certainly too lazy to search for the II by himself and gave it up to Benji.

Yeah, I don't accord Rick much depth at all, and I think your interpretation seems right. Let's say it is a funny coincidence that there is a very famous Prince Albert. Now Sophie would know that.

Who knows what Rick thinks? There could be all kinds of Deep Thoughts in there.

Sophie has her shoes off , is she doing the challenge barefooted ?

Yeah, that is the most interesting thing in the picture to me. It's not just that she's barefooted, her shoes are right there. She took them off after production already lined everyone up? She was messing around flirting with Rick when everyone else was getting dressed? All of a sudden our Sophie has personality...

I was trying to think of a story that would link the shoes to that face Edna is making, so far no luck.

Rick's Prince Albert comment is most likely in reference to the husband and consort of Queen Victoria.

I don't see how the genital piercing would be a relevant comparison for Rick to make.

It is obvious from the promo that the two don't like each other much, with Albert saying Rick is "as sharp as a bowling ball" and Rick calling him "Prince Albert." As to the specific nickname, however, we don't know what kind of depth of knowledge Rick has because frankly we haven't seen enough of him to know. Even if Rick isn't well versed in the history of the English monarchy or with piercings, there is a line of pipe tobacco & cigars named Prince Albert. If nothing else, Rick has probably seen/heard of the tobacco product & for a reason that can't be too flattering thinks the nickname "Prince Albert" suits him.

Prince Albert was well known among my generation even when we were in grade school.

When we were kids the fun thing to do (if your parents weren't around) was to make prank calls to stores and ask if they "have Prince Albert in the can". They almost alsways said "yes" then the comeback would be "you better let him out". Cheesey now but we thought it was a hoot.

So maybe Rick is familiar with Prince Albert. He can't be THAT much younger than me :)

That was my first thought as well Mz Sun. :) ;)

Because it is a pop reference there is the possibility that ". . . THEY call him Prince Albert" could be Albert mentioning why his team doesn't call him Coach, like BENJAMIN.

The real question, of course, is whether or not Rick's joke flew over Edna's head. <3

I forgot all about the tobacco. My parents are and were total Anglophiles, and growing up I knew the history of the British monarchy much better than the U.S. presidents. Hard for me to know what a more typical American would be familiar with. Rick is 51 and Mormon, whatever that means. Hey, we're talking about Rick! That's different.

I wondered whether the emphasis was on the word Prince.

Albert is the Prince - aspirant to be the leader of the tribe. But Coach is the King - the one who is actually running things
