  1. They have added more ad hoc prize money for random challenges over the years, which helps as well.
  2. Like many businesses, the food industry was hit really hard by the pandemic. Also, more prize money likely pulls in better contestants. I have no problem with it. I just finished binging LCK. I was really surprised that they actually revealed the winner. Usually you have to wait for the next full episode. I won't spoil, but I'm pleased with the results.
  3. After years of overpaying for AT&T U-verse, I finally have the option to get Google Fiber. I am planning to use YTTV as my main streaming option. One question I have pertains to commercials. I am seeing a lot of conflicting information regarding being able to ff through commercials with YTTV. What is the current state? Realistically, what will I have to be able to tolerate?
  4. I feel like we owe LAC, but I'll be happy to avoid the play-in nonsense, and face whatever team we get.
  5. The list feels like it is trying way too hard to be alternative and diverse. I have a lot of problems with the order for those that made the list, but on top of that, I'm wondering where some of these were ranked (some previously mentioned). Family Ties Sports Night The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel The IT Crowd Family Guy The Wonder Years That '70s Show Northern Exposure ...and countless others that will pop into my head later.
  6. [wishful thinking] Maybe with no money from European competitions forthcoming, Kroenke might be slightly more open to selling the club.[/wishful thinking]
  7. I enjoyed that one. I think the correct team went home. That trout was hammered. Gabriel looked like he was really taking it hard. Byron almost got he and Maria sent home by not letting her add her green mole to the plate, but that probably needs to be on her for not being more assertive. Team challenges are tough. I'll have to binge LCK before next week.
  8. Somebody chasing isn't gonna drop a game, and will gain on us if we do our Jekyll and Hyde routine against an over-matched Cleveland. I think the "win/loss" sentiment is valid.
  9. Caden is probably too busy right now to help with writing a document.
  10. Is someone timing how long each method takes? It may take someone longer to do the "fastest" method, depending on how their brain works. And how is one method more accurate than another if they all produce the correct answer 100% of the time? I personally dump 28 and 47 toothpicks on the floor and then count them all Rainman style.
  11. Luka may already be more skilled than prime Dirk, but I'm not sure that he will ever come close in likeability. Maybe it's a generational thing, but the whining doesn't help. That said, I'm really glad he's a Mav, and I hope he stays one his entire career.
  12. Thanks, asshole. Now I have a John Mellencamp song stuck in my head.
  13. Another Go Green customer here. They are great.
  14. I don't mind Maria, but her likability certainly isn't benefiting from the edit she is getting. I guess someone has to fill the "lesbian with attitude" role. I definitely do not think she is as annoying as Gabriel, though overall, this cast is fairly tame in that regard.
  15. No spoilers, no discussion, no nothing. Were all of you glued to the draft? I was hoping they would send Gabriel home for underwhelming poorly executed tots, but he likely shows too much potential and not enough over-the-top cocky doucheness to go this early. Poor Jamie. Someone always has to be the sacrificial lesson reminder about being bullied into making a dish that you don't want. MAKE. YOUR. FOOD. I was really hoping they would give Dawn the win with popcorn, but no such luck. I love me some Fletcher's, but no thank you to whatever the hell that was that Shota served.
  16. I told those fudge packers I liked Michael Bolton's music.
  17. Dude, posting a clever reference = surly. Following it up with a video clip of the source = aggy/Captain Obvious (or General Specific in this case)/Ben Rothlisberger. Don't be that guy. Post your clever quip and trust that your Surly brethren will understand and appreciate it. Sure, some won't, but that's the part of the fun.
  18. I enjoyed the episode. Gabe seems to really have a grasp of the competition. Did anyone dig up why he was fired after returning from the show? I was disappointed to see Avashar in the bottom, but he likely doesn't have enough experience to avoid bad weeks.
  19. You are in the wrong here. We don't need a bunch of unnecessary spoiler tags. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't read the thread until after you have watched the episode. Do you read threads for games that you are recording and complain that people are posting the scores? Have some self-restraint and avoid the threads. Edit: I see SO2 already made this point. Oh well, it no harm in making it again.
  20. Oof, that may be a deal breaker for me.
  21. I watch a few different cooking competitions, but somehow this one escaped my radar. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
  22. This is where I am as well, with Jamie also growing on me. I need a few more eliminations to whittle it down a bit.
  23. Yep. We have to sacrifice unbiased judging for the sake of entertainment, but I can live with it.
