    Didn’t you once say I was overly negative?  Damn…I said it feels like we are about to blow it.  JWB actually got the K, was amazed we left him in.  

    And I'm usually more optimistic about OSU baseball, but something about this team just makes me hate following them, much less watching them.  I just want one more shot at OU.  In a season like this, beating OU can be the one saving grace.  Though I imagine we're already about out of pitching.  We have so little to start with, how can we not be?

    Feeling like we are about to blow it.  2nd/3rd, 2 outs.  

    I'm so fucking tired of this team.  I've made about 100 predictions about them over this season and I think I've been right 95 times.  About to go 96/101.  After we blow this, only two more games and we can put this season behind us.

    Well Roc drove one home.  3-2 good guys…which means it’s time to GIDP?

    I stand corrected.  We did the bare minimum.  So now we give up two runs in the T9 and them go down meekly in the B9.

    Then why in the world would you click this thread before watching? 

    Don't type 500 words for your fuckup. Your girl Kaycee chokes. 

    I kind of forgot today was the today and I haven't quite got accustomed to it dropping at 2:00 AM instead of being aired at 8 PM.  I'm old and my brain may never 100% adjust to streaming.  So I clicked on the thread to see if anyone was talking about the show and I saw your post.  Then I posted what I thought was a very civil and polite reminder to you to be careful about spoilers and apparently you're really offended by that.  I know there are two Shadow Ops here and I was thinking you were the one that wasn't Derka and would be able to accept this suggestion like an adult.  I'm starting to think I'm wrong on that.  Had I known you were Derka, I wouldn't have said anything since I know you are above reproach and are never in the wrong, no matter how minor the situation is.  

    You might as well post the winner for everybody since you've already eliminated two teams from contention now.

    Can we get a shipment of these for the next final?

    Well, my least-disliked team won, so that’s good. 

    Now back to our regularly scheduled MTV shit. 

    Careful there.  That's a little spoilery.  Fortunately, I didn't know who your least-disliked team was, but I was able to eliminate one team from consideration.

    So you don't like her and she will never get better at the game game, she can't make friends except with awful people, everyone else hates her.  Just keeping score here, it seems like a super unbiased take to me.  I didn't like her or root for her throughout the season, but I do find it kind of interesting that she dragged Yes through a few dailies.  

    I couldn't decide who to root for in the elimination, as I don't really care for either of them.  I thought it was impressive that Emily nearly matched Kaycee's strength and was scrappy enough to get a win on her.  I would take Kaycee 10/10 in Hall Brawl against every current female cast member not named Aneesa.

    We'll see if she just plain sucks and can never get better at the game.  I mean, there is plenty of historical evidence that difficult personalities can come through this competition, flame out, and come back more polished with a better handle on the game.  Some have learned how to adjust their personality, some haven't.  Sometimes the friendships happen off the show and they come back with a stronger set of allies.  All I was really saying is that despite being on the bottom in the social game, my read on her is that she is too intense and often, those types dial it back after getting some perspective.  

    I'm not calling for her to be on the OG seasons, but I'm fine with her being on these McDowell's off-brand seasons which are watered-down but watchable.

     

    It's possible I'm a bit biased.  But seriously, watching her on Challenge Australia and now this season, I don't think she'll get better.  She dislikes just about everybody and everybody dislikes her.  She takes zero accountability for all of these conflicts she has.  She just blames it on the other person and either forgets the shit she has said or done or she's just a liar.  I don't think she is capable of getting perspective and she isn't good enough at anything outside the water to be able to survive everybody targeting her.  I hope we never see her again and we'll just never know who is correct here.  I wish it would have been Kiki that took her out, but Troy doing it is a nice consolation prize.  She hates those two for literally no reason other than they are both better than her in everything that doesn't involve swimming.  

    The fact that the only two people who like her are Grant and Sarah says a lot about her as well.

    Except Kaycee's personality is basically another scumbag bro, imo.  Why are all the big brother people so unlikeable?  

    I agree on Emily being annoying, but I think she is an interesting add to the show and will definitely be cast for the next round for good reason.  The show needs those types to balance out all the usual cliques, and I bet after a couple more seasons, she chills out and plays a more deft political game. 

     She also nearly took down Kaycee twice in hall brawl which is legit.

    With all due respect, and not a trace of Derkaism, I actually disagree with every single word you posted.  

    I don't think Kaycee is a scumbag bro at all.  She won BB on her likability.  Not all BB players are unlikable, but they sure seem to pick the ones that are.

    Emily isn't annoying.  She's fucking awful.  I don't find her to be an interesting add at all and pray she is never invited back.  She sucks at the game and will never not suck at the game because she is incapable of making friends with anyone unless they are also an awful person like Grant or Sarah.  People rightfully hate her.  

    Nearly got her ass sent home.  

    Other than that, you and I are on the same page.  

  8. I'm enjoying Kaycee more this time.  She's actually showing a little personality.  It probably helps that I love her partner and she isn't spending all her time canoodling with Nany somewhere off camera.  And it really helps that she eliminated the worst person they've cast on this show in years.  Fuck her.  I was laughing and cheering when she was laying on the ground wailing.

    I mean she played her idol unnecessarily but sure I guess

    Damn you're right.  I just watched the very end and the votes were Danny with 3 and Carson and Heidi with 2 each.  It seems like nobody really knew what was going on in that TC.  

  10. I was rooting for Frannie but she's one of the dumber smart people to ever be on this show.
    I don't think she really anticipated being good at challenges and got so excited about the prospect of winning them that she got her boyfriend sent home by winning one she should have thrown and then got herself sent home by winning a worthless award challenge.

    From her post eviction interviews, that’s exactly what happened. Also, she convinced herself Matt had better relationships than Yam Yam so she thought he would be safe. The 2nd time I’d guess the lure of and margaritas was too strong to resist.

    Binged All Stars 3...pretty solid season.  Girls were kinda weak, but lots of good guy challengers.

    The consensus on reddit is also that world champs is the worst of all challenge shows.  I hate the "deliberation" scenes...just another thing that is off. 

    I know Darrell is an old school champ, and I am a fan.  But he just can't get through a season anymore.  He reminds me of Corey some...political game isn't great and small group of close friends.  

    Might be an unpopular opinion but Darrell is the most overrated Challenger in history.  I can't even think of a close 2nd.  They talk him up like he's some kind of beast but he won 4 team Challenges in a row back in the day when a hard challenge was playing Twister or some lame shit.  And the prize money was $25 and a free year of BK.

    We're tied for second in a logjam at the top of the conference, so we're not struggling any more than other conference teams. I specifically mentioned midweek games because they rely heavily on the bullpen and ours is seemingly very weak. If I had to place a bet, I'd say that no Big 12 team makes the CWS this season. WVU seems destined to win the regular season, but who knows at this point. The tournament could be fun with no real favorites other than Baylor and Kansas appear to be pretty friggin terrible.

    I think my problem is I drank the Kool-Aid and thought we actually had a team that could compete for Omaha.  We were a preseason top 8 team favored to win the Big XII.  Being in the thick of the conference race most years is pretty damn good and should give a fan hope for a post season run.  The Big XII is as bad as I can remember it being and we have very little chance of winning the conference.  6 of our 11 wins are vs BU and KU.  If we sweep KSU and OU, we can probably work our way up to hosting a regional, but that seems almost impossible for this team.  3-3 would be an accomplishment since it would mean we actually would win a series against a team not at the bottom of the standings.  

    So "not struggling any more than other conference teams" isn't really something any of us should be fired up about.  Other than WVU, it just means we are all a bunch of slightly above average 2 seeds whose ceiling is probably losing in a regional final.  A miracle hot run of great pitching at the right time could change that for someone, but I don't see any way that team is going to be us.  So the lesson is...don't drink the fucking Kool-Aid.  

  13. It says three posts up that you have 7 Q1 wins.  What counts as having a pulse?

    Winning a series against a good team in the conference would be my thoughts. We’re probably a Q1 team and everybody with a pulse beats us, so I’m not sure how relevant Q1s are.

    Blowjob Rob strikes again. I swear we are utterly incapable of beating any midweek opponent with a pulse, and yet we schedule multiple midweeks against good opponents like ORU, Wichita State, and Dallas Baptist.

    To be fair, the only opponent with a pulse we have beaten is UT and they gave that one to us.  

  15. oh good, it's the 500th time this has been posted! so in your mind, anyone who has anything less-than-positive to say about a tv show should just stop watching that show altogether and then never post here again? where the hell do you people come up with this stuff? and how do you even buy into it? it's absolutely childish and illogical. someone having criticisms of a show does not mean that person suddenly hates the show. how do you not understand this?

    Yes, that’s exactly what I think. At least in regards to you. You shit on too many threads and it feels like a sad cry for attention or like you’re trying to show off how smart you are and how dumb anyone who doesn’t agree with you is. That’s just my opinion though so no need for a 500 word dissertation on it. You asked, I answered.
