    I’m confused by Maria. Why didn’t she tell q to play his idol if she was out for Charlie. She made an enemy with Q by telling him he was golden and him not using his idol. But Charlie was stupid taking Liz over Marie. He made an enemy there.

    i dont agree with this at all.  you could have said that about the last 5 tribals where someone has gone home with an idol.  anyone could have told that person to play their idol but chose to mislead them.  thats part of the game.  kenzie knew people wanted to vote tiff, but never mentioned it.  she told them it wasnt the right time and mistakenly thought they agreed with her.  maria mistakingly thought everyone agreed to vote charlie so didnt warn q.

    and i also disagree that it was stupid to take liz over maria.  i believe all 4 left are crystal clear that maria is going to win this thing.  it needs to be 4 against 1, and maria has to know that too, and that the day she loses immunity is the day she goes home.

    what i thought was the most interesting part of the episode was charlie and maria sitting on the boat together saying how close they are and how i cant wait for my kids to meet uncle charlie, while behind their backs they're plotting and scheming to blindside the other.

    Last time I went out we got over powered by the wind and that sucked. 
     

    today was gorgeous, another down wind tack that made my heart sing. Wife and I enjoying the dock life with wine and cheese wishing we were in Catalina.

    Who has $7500 burning a hole in their pocket?
    Go fuck yourself Buffalo Trace.

    just what we needed, another unicorn.   they have a vodka that's outrageously priced too.  i'll take the wheatley for $20, thank you.

    Q's was the biggest screwup of all the people sent home with an idol in their pocket this year.  When people who hate you agree with your plan to vote out Charlie immediately and with no discussion, most people would have been nervous.

    this has to be the best liars of any season. hunter was the only one that had an intuition he might be blindsided.  no one else had a clue.   we have to be getting close to a record for players voted out with idols in their pocket.

    pretty impressive run for maria to be near a record for immunity wins by a female.   will be interesting to see how she handles being on the wrong side of the vote for the first time.

  5. i watched it last night and laughed my ass off.  i thought it was hilarious.  its ron burgundy/dumb and dumber kind of dumb, but as long as you arent expecting something highbrow you should be fine.  ironically, jerry seinfeld is the worst actor in the movie and probably the least funny.  i do agree with one of the posters above that commented about the target age demographic.  it definitely helps to be over 50 to get this era of american society.   last comment: hugh grant was almost academy award worthy.  great performance from him in this.

  6. i came across a newsfeed article about a place off jones or west road - jersey village/cyfair area.  can anyone think of a place out that way that would be worthy of writing an article about them?  may have been about barbacoa, may have been about menudo.   there was something that stood out there.  i meant to save but seems lost forever now.

    It’s high rye MGP. Any distilleries that closed, MGP likely put out of business. 

    the stories on the back label usually come across as fluff and hogwash.  some kind of marketing ploy to make the bourbon stand out when there is nothing in the bottle to make the bourbon stand out.   i'm not saying its bullshit, but a distillery closing in the last 20 years is like a munitions plant closing during wartime.  there's just too much demand.  ive heard of thefts, and fires, and massive spills, and mergers and buyouts, but am not aware of any closures.

    Same.  Maria could have easily justified taking Q because he took her last time.  Saying she wanted to reward people who needed to eat was a mistake, and a bit out of character considering how well she has been playing.  

    Charlie is clearly playing the best game. 

    I find Kenzie and Ben both likeable, but I don't think Ben is smart enough to make any moves, and Kenzie keeps waiting for some reason.  

    I do not think Q will be rewarded if he makes it to final tribal, but I guess that depends on who else is there.  If neither Maria or Charlie make it to the end, Q probably has a better chance than I want to believe.  

    ben's the only one left thats not even playing.  he's just voting for whoever they tell him to and hanging on.  no chance of winning.  q is not really playing anymore either, since he's been the villain for the past 4 days.  he's the only reason so many have left with idols in their pocket.  every time he's been the slam dunk target.  amazing he's still here.  shows how the deception and lies are stronger with this group than past.  no one has had a clue or a hint of an instinct theyre about to be blindsided.  usually you have a hunch thats somethings not right by the way you see be talking or whispering, or the look in their eye when they're talking to you.  this is master deception.  hunter is the only one that had a feeling but they reassured him at tribal not to play it while stabbing him in the back.  never seen that happen before.

    @USCATX come out and play. Good week at work, and I got 2. What the hell, I’ll crack some RC16.

    i have that botte, but didnt remember the story on the back.  what distilleries have closed since 2010?  that surprises me since the onset of the bourbon craze started soon after that.

    So... How do we get a list of the things to buy in this place? 

    I'm a newb, but I like the Bourbons.

    most people recommend angels envy as a starter bourbon.  if you're a newbie i would try all those that carl suggested.  store picks i would not recommend since you have to experience the nuance of knob creek before you can appreciate a store pick of knob creek.  makers mark, knob creek, and buffalo trace would be the three mass-batch, on the shelf, <$50 bottles and brands to start with and branch out from.

    I was wrong. The Bookers was $120.

    still a buy.  they are highly sought after.  little books are nice too, but much rarer.

    Should I acquire this?PXL_20240502_223232322.thumb.jpg.2f8e82eaf90e2c411239fe0f8043ddf8.jpg

    what batch is it?  whats the asking price?  its probably going to be a yes, no matter what your answers are. i've killed two of my six bookers just recently, only to free up shelf space.   i'm getting turned off on the higher proofs lately, but there is a lot of flavor in these.

  13. ive only had one willet purple top and its  one of the best bourbons ive ever tasted.  very memorable.   it reminds me of the birthday bourbons.  unlike any other bourbon out there.

    Right person went home in my book, albeit she was one of my faves.

    maria orchestrated that one, which will put a target on her back.  seems like everyone but ben and charlie have made moves they could use with the jury.  venus really hasnt either but she thinks she has, and at least she's vocal and stirs things up.  ben and charlie are just going with the flow.

  15. dang, sierra leone was high up on my list too.  i usually shy away from picking the winner from the 1 or 2 post, so leaning towards the two justify offspring plus honor marie.  great value in all three of those, and better starting positions.

    Got a bottle of McKenna a few weeks ago after several years of not seeing any and realize that's not my profile any more.

    was at heaven hill a few weeks ago, and mckenna 10 was their best available.  no parkers heritage or old fitz, even in the vip tasting. i am always happy to get it though.  eagle rare, henry mckenna, and russell's are all automatic buys for me.  to get a quality bourbon, aged 10 years, at that price point is a value and perfectly suitable for every day drinkers.

    Hunter played that so poorly.

    Either play the fucking idol

    -OR- 

    STFU and don't tell anyone about it

    So dumb.

    hunter was never a threat to win this thing.  he was great in challenges but inept strategically.  both he and tiff were certain to play their idols, according to the edits, but neither did.  hunter was desperate for reassurances on whether he was safe or not and trusted what he heard over his instincts.  here's the way i see it:  venus and  ben have zero shot and are just hangers on.  q also has no shot because he's alienated himself.   liz would be next.  she has some smarts but maybe that dont apply to this game.  that leaves tiff, kenzie, maria, and charlie.  kenzie is the most vocal of that group, so first out.  final three is maria, charlie, and tiff.

    Strangest tribal I can remember. Was it a real blindside or just them discounting fucking Q.

    liz orchestrated that blindside.  since tevin orchestrated the soda blindside and got voted out right after, makes you wonder if liz is going next week.

    i think its safe to say that q is in an alliance of one.  maybe hunter is with him, but only because hunter is worthless strategically.   the challenges are fun to him, but strategy talk baffles and confuses him.  q turning on tiff, if i were tiff, would be a death blow.  no more confiding in him, he's on his own.   i find it peculiar, and not very smart, for him to think bringing along a goat is the old way of survivor.  its the smart way.  the time to pick off the threats is now.
