I hate titles that merely regurgitate the "story" of that nights episode rather then something with a pun or a play on words.
"Culture shock and violent storms" is one of the most banal titles I've ever heard

Can we talk about the good ones instead? Like, "Stupid People, Stupid Stupid People," "Girls Gone Wilder," or "My Mom's Gonna
Kill Me." Those are some good ones.

Aren't there like 3 different episodes called "Sleeping wiith the Enemy"? That pissed me off. I loved when they switched over to using quote
titles like TAR, but I hate the way they change them from the actual quote.

Granted, I had to do some research to even remember these, because I barely even mention titles... But these are the ones that stood out from each season. "Udder Revenge" -- Borneo

It's funny.

I always thought "Nacho Mama" and "True Lies" from Marquesas were good episode titles.

(208) "I'd Never Do It To You" (307) "The Importance of Being Eldest" (501) "A Big Surprise...and Another" (512) "Q and A" (611) "United We Stand, Divided We...?"

Cook Islands had several good titles. "This Tribe Will Self-Destruct in 5, 4, 3..." is a personal favorite of mine. |

I always liked "Pick Up Sticks" from the amazon, merely for the pun: It was the episode they picked up sticks for the tribal switch, and alex picked
up sticks (i.e Jenna's highschool nickname) for a date.

My personal fave is "A Smile, Velvet Gloves and a Dagger in My Pocket", just a cool title.

Everytime I hear a title quote and it's even slightly off I have an OCD meltdown. The "ball of goo" one was different too. STOP IT SURVIVOR. |

'That's Barbecued, Baked and Fried' was horrible - they didn't even use the quote and it was just a throwaway line about chickens.
'Love Many, Trust Few, Do Wrong To None' and the velvet gloves one were good names, but Fiji has some real stinkers. I still like 'Burly Girls, Bowheads, Young Studs and the Old Bunch' most - it stands out and lets you know what the episode's about without giving too much away. |
