  1. Not as bad as you think. North Mesquite suited up their golf team.
  2. There appear to be mostly competent teams this season, so I don't think we'll see a few dominate lake we normally do. Some minor fails, but nothing horrible yet. I was surprised to see the Asian couple struggle so much in another country where they somewhat speak the language. I was expecting them to fall back eventually, but not in Vietnam. No non-elimination legs, but the ol' "you're still racing" fake out is still in play.
  3. This isn't a list of this weekend's games. It's just a list of random "rivalries" to pass the time during the bye week.
  4. Does either team winning benefit Texas? If yes, I root for them. If there is no benefit to Texas, is there a heavy underdog? If yes, I root for them. If there is no benefit to Texas and there is not a heavy underdog, I do this: Army vs. Navy | whichever has the best uniform that year (usually Navy) Alabama vs. Auburn | least amount of historical relevance Michigan vs. Ohio State | least amount of recent success, and I generally find Ohio State fans to be way more obnoxious USC vs. Notre Dame | recent flip for me due to the Riley factor Florida vs. Georgia | Florida feels less offensive than most SEC schools Miami vs. Florida State | PTSD from 1991 Cotton Bowl is still there Cal vs. Stanford | Directors Cup impact Oregon vs. Washington | Phil Knight factor Arkansas vs. Texas A&M | I loathe Arkansas, but I would be fine with A&M losing every game in every sport forever Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss | Not sure why, but it's how it usually goes for me
  5. I'd like to see something like this: Each tribe picks someone to send to "advantage island," where the choice they each have to make is to be in charge of picking new tribe members or losing their next vote and selecting someone else from their tribe to fill that role. The three tribe choosers then do a schoolyard pick to refill their teams. Must select someone from a different tribe first. Cannot pick consecutive members from the same tribe unless last pick forces it. This at least gives the players some control instead of leaving it entirely up to luck, and should do a reasonable job of mixing the tribes, while possibly revealing or blowing up alliances.
  6. Doubtful. Now that 3 players are gone, they will shuffle the tribes. At least one original Lulu will end up on a tribe capable of winning challenges.
  7. He's not referencing Astros fans, dumbass.
  8. Sign me up for that, but does it really qualify as a burger if you can't eat it like one?
  9. How is the temporary bleachers construction coming along?
  10. I see. Shouldn't you be in the Astros thread antagonizing their fans, or have you given up on the Twins after one game? Perhaps Timberwolves preseason glory is all you have to keep up your spirits right now.
  11. Preseason smack in last season's thread using a gif featuring some weak ass Division III team from Wisconsin playing an entirely different sport? Burn, I guess.
  12. Emily would have gone home in Week 1 most seasons, but nope, she is only 3rd worst on a team of 6 this season, and may end up sticking around for some time. I'm still waiting to see evidence of any aptitude whatsoever from Brandon. Guess it will have to wait for an all stars season.
  13. This site is full of assholes and douchebags. We pride ourselves on it. Better hope karmatic fever isn't a real thing
  14. Sounds like we are in midseason form.
  15. Not a surprise. If you had asked to bet on the first rider to leave the team, he would have been my pick. It will mean less dominance for Jumbo, but more fun for fans of cycling. I'm really curious to see the makeup of the Jumbo teams for next year's GTs.
  16. I agree that the teams all seem likeable so far. We'll see what tolls, if any, the stresses of the race take, but so far so good. I'm not unhappy about the lack of non-elimination legs. Those always seemed coincidentally convenient to keep well liked or hated teams in the race. I was not impressed that some teams struggled for over an hour to solve a fairly simple word scramble. Some of them would still be there if not helped by other teams. I was very impressed by the sisters earning the express pass. I'm pretty sure I would not have done it, but I would still be pissing my pants at the highwire, so it wouldn't have come into play for me. I do miss the old school "make your own travel arrangements" aspect, but as others have noted, it really did create insurmountable gaps. Season 1 is the perfect example, where the 3rd place team finished more than a day behind the winners. Of course they deserved it for being douches who wasted an express pass by taking a spa day before traveling to a pitstop, so it was still enjoyable even if not suspenseful.
