  1. Arsenal fan, so not voting, but this is the correct answer. I cannot think of a scenario where these occurrences would ever be mutually exclusive, so forcing yourself to choose one over the other, even hypothetically is wasted emotion.
  2. Azerbaijan doesn't like the Irish, Dutch of a certain color, or Armenians.
  3. To be clear, I absolutely feel that Devens has done enough to win under the rules that were put in place this season. I just really don't like the twist and would prefer someone win who has not been voted out. I know most (all?) of you don't share that point of view, and I doubt anyone on the jury does either, but if I'm sitting next to him in final tribal, I'm reminding everyone of that over and over and over.
  4. Many of those blindsides that Devens has been on the wrong side of were engineered by Gavin. I made this point weeks ago that Gavin's biggest problem is his personality. In short, he isn't Devens. That does not mean that he has not been playing and making things happen. He's simply not as flashy or entertaining when doing so, which makes him less camera and fan firendly. The production staff have done a great job this season of selling Devens, as evidenced by most of you buying it. I find myself more in an "anyone but Devens" camp than cheering for a particular survivor at this point. I fully expect to be disappointed with the outcome, but at least all of you assholes will be happy.
  5. I would have preferred the other whiny women go home, but can live with it.
  6. I completely agree regarding the extinction part. I was pulling for Aurora. Now I don't know who I want to win. I guess Gavin, but I find myself not caring due to how much manipulation of the game happens these days.
  7. I tolerate the Top Chef model because the players are eliminated via somewhat subjective criteria, but it still bothers me that some chefs can still be Top Chef after being the worst chef in a given week, and others do not get a second chance.
  8. I don't see that happening. Neither Devens nor Gavin is going to take the other to final 3, and Lauren should be smart enough to not take both of them. I suppose it could happen if the final 4 is those three and Ron, but that is unlikely. I think Julie is a lock for the final 3. I think either Devens or Gavin will be there and will be the eventual winner. The third person is a crap shoot, depending on how immunity challenges, idols, and random production shenanigans shake out.
  9. I watched the first episode last night, and enjoyed it. I tend to like BBC period series.
  10. I'll eat it if it is sitting there oozing in front of me, but I'm generally not a fan of cheese in sausage.
  11. That would be me. Regardless of how entertaining he is, or how good his game play has been since his return, the fact remains that Devens has already been voted out. In any other season, he would have been done. He clearly is working harder than the others, and he is certainly enjoying himself, so good for him. It is obvious that the production team wants him to win, so I fully expect it to happen. That doesn't mean I have to like it. I recognize that the game has had to evolve to keep an audience, but in most cases, I've never been a fan of allowing eliminated contestants a chance to return. You lost already, get the fuck out. My main problem with the returning loser format is that it is unfair to those who get eliminated late, and thus don't get a second chance. Devens and the survivor returning next week have to be eliminated twice, wile the people who get voted out after that only get one shot. How is that fair? It's like having a double elimination tournament, where the winner and the loser both end up with one loss, because television decided the "if necessary" game wasn't necessary. Any Longhorn baseball fans in the house? Also, I was enjoying the sparseness of idols this season, but that seems to have ended. They should just go ahead and change the name of the show to "Idol Hunters."
  12. Maybe after I finish this trough of Creamy Creations.
  13. Someone should start a "shit I buy at HEB that isn't made by them" thread.
  14. I'm pretty sure it was Stannis. We didn't actually see him die, so he's probably still alive and is roaming around the North spreading gossip.
  15. I'm not suggesting Bran should be helping now, just that they went to all that trouble to develop a character with a very unique skill set, and then do nothing with him. Why have him in the series at all? He may as well have died from the fall. They could have easily come up with other ways for the Night King to get south of the wall and for the truth about Jon to be known. I think he was destined for bigger things, but is a casualty of the rush to finish, along with so many others.
  16. I don't know why they didn't just lit him get killed by the undead. The bigger disappoint for me is Bran...such a wasted character.
  17. I wonder how much Starbucks paid for that product placement? I'm surprised we didn't see Jon munching on a bag of Doritos.
  18. Say it again....oh wait, you already have, twice.
  19. What does all of this shit have to do with firing Shaka Smart? I keep seeing this thread bumped, and it gets my hopes up.
  20. You forgot naked wimmens, but they don't show those so often anymore.
