    Beauty and Essex was really good. The food was great. The ambiance was top notch. And the talent on display was fantastic. Its definitely worth going if you are in town. 

    Also, that bone marrow was legit as was the grilled cheese tomato soup in a spoon thing. 

    Good choice.  I do B&E every trip now.

  2. They way the flip flop the “good” characters and “bad” characters, season 5 will probably be about the Asian Cobra Kai guy becoming a priest while Dmitri starts a sex trafficking ring.

  3. Anyone been to the Mastros location recently in Vegas? I believe it’s in the Aria. 
     
    Some Mastros locations are great and others are just okay. Thoughts on this one? 

    It’s in the Crystals Shops mall connected to Aria. I haven’t been so not much help, but heard it’s good.

    He WAS a better QB than Sam right up until he injured his thumb. He just isn’t a better FULLBACK than Sam, so once he couldn’t throw for shit, he was no longer an asset. 

    Sam never had a game like the 20 minutes that Casey played in the Alamo Bowl, nor like the Tech game or the first half of the OU game. 

    Casey and his OU dad were right. 

    And he sure as fuck was better than Hudson Card.

    Word. 1883 >> Yellowstone. 

    That, and so we can get the thread back on track and not just volleying quotes from some old crappy song.

  6. This show suffers from the problem of a present-day ranch in Wyoming not having enough actual conflict to carry a TV drama for multiple seasons. There's only so much stuff you can make up that seems somewhat plausible and somewhat interesting, and they've burned through that content in earlier seasons. Sheridan has tried to create a western version of The Sopranos but every new antagonist or threat against the ranch has become a recycled version of a previous problem, and the fighting within the family is beyond tired.
    There is also an extreme lack of consistency between the various plots they have created. The biggest stories this season were:
    -Market Equities taking over part of the ranch (essentially a repeat of the Jenkins threat and Beck Brothers threat)
    -Jamie being caught between his murdering father and John/Beth
    -Kayce breaking off from the family and then having an existential crisis 
    -Piper protesting various things
    -Beth doing stupid Beth shit
    -Jimmy leaving for Texas and being torn between 2 women
    The only 2 stories that were consistently part of each episode were the Beth and Jimmy plots, which were also the most boring and frustrating. People eventually get tired of watching a bitchy woman act bitchy, and very few people cared about Jimmy in the first place, at least not enough for his Texas trip to maintain the show.
    The other plots about actual Yellowstone Ranch shit would get attention for 1 episode and then get ignored for 1-2 episodes. Perhaps that's because they are such weak plots in the first place and there wasn't much to say on a weekly basis, but it's hard to build interest when the show is skipping around all the time.

    Its turned into Sons of Anarchy on a ranch, which isn’t all that surprising given Taylor Sheridan was in SOA. Repeated storylines with different characters.

  7. Booked yesterday for my x my 40th bday. My birthday is in March but we are going on June. Staying at the cosmo. Anyone ever stay in the lanai suite? It’s got a private hot tub but the pictures I’ve found doesn’t look great. But cell phone pics suck a lot of times. 

    The Lanai suite is ok, not worth the price though. The hot tub on the porch is pretty mediocre. The biggest plus is you can walk straight from your porch to the non-party pool which is nice if your on a trip with wife/girlfriend. The one time I stayed there the top loft area where the bed is wouldn’t get that cool (temp wise). I don’t know if it was an AC problem or because the ceilings are so high.
  8. Why would CT choose to be on Devin's team?  If he picked the other platform he would have ended with either Kyle or Nelson.  Devin's only strength is puzzles and CT is already good at those.  He has to assume the rest of the challenge will require a lot of endurance and Nelson and Kyle would be better at that.  Maybe he knew by picking Devin he would also end up with the first 2 girls to finish, but all of the girls seem strong.
