  1. I'm only 3 episodes in, but this is really good. Definitely worth a watch if you have BritBox or want to binge something during a free trial.
  2. Lady Gooners got it done. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/live/cy750rjxyy2t#Report
  3. I had not watched the after show yet when I wrote this. Hearing what many of the jury thought of Kamilla's game supports my opinion. Of course what they jury says they would have done in a hypothetical scenario isn't the same as them actually doing it, but again, we'll never know. I'm sure Kyle is relived that he didn't have to go up against her.
  4. I'm not sure that I agree with you there. We have no idea what the jury would have thought of her gameplay, or what convincing arguments she might have made. David at least had an inkling that Kyle was playing both sides. No one on the jury ever suspected Kamilla of anything. Kyle may still have won, but it's not a foregone conclusion. I would have loved to see it play out, but we'll never know.
  5. This obviously wasn't the best season as far as strategic gameplay goes, but it certainly had the largest number of likeable players. While I was pulling for Kamilla, and was happy seeing a very deserving Kyle win, I would not have been upset in the least if Joe, Eva, Mitch, or Shauhin had won. Just a bunch of good people with great stories all the way around. Very enjoyable.
  6. I'm assuming no one is still playing this? I'm finding it a struggle to continue myself. Season 8 totally blows. The drops for build critical ancestral uniques and mythics are few and far between. Oh sure, you can get plenty of worthless ancestral crap, but never the items you need. I abandoned my Bone Spear build because I couldn't even get the regular legendary version of a required unique to drop. All of the bosses have been buffed and most require prolonged battles where one-shot death could happen at any moment if you aren't a jedi master, so farming them above Torment 2 is a total grind. I've managed to get my Lightning Spear sorc to Torment 4, and she does fine with everything except boss farming. Unfortunately, she only has one piece of equipment suitable for end game. The best way to get the rest is by boss farming, but she cant boss farm without better gear. And don't get me started on the reliquary bullshit. Looks like it's time to go game shopping.
  7. A lot of them, but it appears that they are all in French.
  8. And if she wants to chat afterwards?
  9. Kamilla is every bit the strategist that Kyle is. It's why they work so well together. Kyle ended up in the more public role of being in the big and strong alliance because he is big and strong, but it would be a mistake to discount the game Kamilla has played. I hope one of them wins.
  10. I was going to guess bipolar myself, as he does have moments when he is relatively chill.
  11. Excellent point. At first I was disappointed in her for making a mistake, but now I'm even more proud of her.
  12. Yep. That has me stumped.
  13. It's interesting that Dallas is second on the best offseason moves list, but nowhere to be seen on the list of teams expected to show the most improvement. I guess they will continue to find ways to underachieve?
  14. I agree on both counts. Jeff has always played too big of a role in trying to manipulate the game by what he chooses to bring up at tribal. I think he has done a wonderful job with the show overall, but this is my biggest quibble with him.
  15. This, this, and this. ^ It's a game for $1,000,000, where "outwit" is one of the mantras. Many a past winner furthered their game by making up shit. What are Kamilla and Kyle supposed to do, just give up and not actually try to win? Eva and Joe were not going to turn on Shauhin without a really really good reason. And it's not as though Shauhin was a saint in all of this. He proposed getting rid of Eva. Would you rather that she had been voted out? That was the likely outcome if Kyle had been confident of beating Shauhin in the end. The only thing Kyle and Kamilla made up was the part about the idol. The one thing I'm struggling with is that Kamilla voted for Mitch. The only reason that makes any sense is if she was worried that she might be getting blindsided, and thought it might be a split vote situation between her and Mitch. That could have screwed up the plan if Joe had not been convinced and voted Mitch instead of Shauhin.
  16. I fully expect him to find a way to fold after seeing the river.
  17. We may need to consider revoking "Big 6" membership for a couple of those.
  18. For some reason I thought Eva had a second idol. It may as well be though, as safety without power and an idol still allows her and Joe to both be safe at any given vote, assuming both are vulnerable.
  19. I'm disappointed. That should essentially guarantee Eva or Joe wins this thing, though I guess it's always possible that Kyle (lawyer) or Shauhin (debate professor) could make compelling arguments. I think last night's vote goes differently if everyone knows that Eva has a second idol, but they don't. While I'm still pulling for Kamilla, an outcome where she wins seems very unlikely at this point, and I think Mitch has even less of a chance. Eva misplaying her advantages is the only way that neither she nor Joe makes final tribal. She seems overconfident, so it is always possible, but it's almost to the point where she won't even need them. It would have been interesting to see how she would have reacted if Joe had been voted out. While the Survivor fan in me wanted that to happen, the people fan is glad that we did not have to find out, as I think it would have been hard to watch.
  20. The losing team hit a 3-pointer or made a free throw? Bullshit.
  21. I think that is where I am as well, but would still be okay with anyone but Jonathan.
