I am having trouble getting in to this season and I think it's because of the constant tribal shakeups. It's harder to become familiar with the players when the tribes are always changing.
I agree. I normally have a favorite by now, with a couple of backups, but no one is holding my interest. The editing seems focused on the assholes this season. Yawn.

It seems like there has been a rash of questionable wagering lately. A lot of people who were ahead before final jeopardy have been losing, even after writing the correct question. Many of these have been in the reruns from last year, but there have been some from the current season as well. Have the dynamics of wagering strategy changed?
It should be pretty straightforward, at least for the person in the lead - assume everyone will get the answer correct, and bet enough to cover the person in second place. It seems that many are betting with the assumption that no one will get the correct question. Are there stats somewhere that indicate that this is the more likely outcome? Does Rainman post here? I'm sure he would know.

Who the fuck doesn't have an idol or advantage at this point? At least the douche went home instead of the eye candy.
And I agree that that women rarely look for idols, or if they do, it isn't shown. I want to believe that there is a lot more idol searching than what makes it into an episode, but it's more likely a case where specific contestants are tipped off that an idol is out there...and by "tipped" I mean "here's a map, a photo pf the location, and a clue sniffing squirrel."

Yep. And because Sagan isn't a specialist, he doesn't really figure into team strategy. Teams want him because of the attention he brings, but they don't develop a plan to help him or expect him to do much work for a GC contender in multi-stage races. He's essentially a solo racer, and his team is anyone who will share the work. It makes it all the more amazing when he wins.

So who's everyone got for Paris Roubaix?
Terpstra is in great form, and is the obvious favorite. I'll be pulling for Sagan, but that big target on his back makes it hard for him to be sneaky, which he typically needs. Thus, I expect the actual winner to be someone that no one is predicting.

I'm build more like a tight end or linebacker than a cyclist, so heat is my kryptonite.

One of the best things about living in Austin is being able to ride year round. I'll take 35-45 degrees over 95-105 any day. I thought I was done with winter gear for the foreseeable future, but looks like I may need it again this weekend.

It seems irresponsible for race organizers to not do a better job of helping riders avoid such things. The rider in front of Cavendish barely avoided it. I've been led into potholes, rocks, and other debris, but nothing like that.

I'm with everyone who is incredulous that this would even be a question. WTF, man?

At this point, I'm only watching hoping it somehow recaptures a little bit of its short-lived glory, but I'm not at all optimistic that it will.

Is this last pic the waterfall billboard on I-35 heading into downtown Dallas? If so, it's currently one of the most depressing things I've seen since moving back to Dallas last summer. The billboard is still there, but there's a very large condo behind it and it now just looks out of place. Effing sprawl.
Yep.

When have we not looked like shit against Stoke?

Every 7-11 had these on the floor leading to the Slurpee machine.
Hours of fun unless an adult was whipping your ass with a piece of track.

Charlize is always gorgeous, but thought she was even more so in the scene where she was a brunette. Yum.

They were talking yesterday about the three tribes being 3-2 Malala to whatever, and I still have no idea who was on what tribe.
All three new tribes had 3 original Naviti and 2 original Malolo, but how the fuck your average viewer is supposed to remember who was what is beyond me. When you change tribes every other day, it's hard to keep track. I can barely name half the cast at this point. There's no way I could begin to tell you who was on what tribe originally.
I'm actually surprised at the amount of tribal loyalty that we have seen so far. Game play has been generally weak compared to other recent seasons.
I'm actually glad that Ghost Island hasn't been much of a factor. On the other hand, if you are going to bother having it, do more with it. It's like a complete afterthought. I would love to see a throwback season where the rules were identical to Season 1.

I'm having trouble identifying anyone that I want to win. I suspect most people are biding time until the merge before they start taking risks. Dom is still annoying, but I think Chris is more so at this point. I would love to see a Ghost Island twist that has a message in one of the little ceramic containers that says "NO MORE GAME FOR YOU. GO HOME. THE ISLAND HAS SPOKEN."

It wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if Stoke end up getting relegated.

I don't have a rain gauge, so no idea how much we got in my little neck of 78745, but the power went out at 3am, and was off until 6.

It's nice having a program that is clutch, especially with so many others under-performing.
