  1. In the opening scene, Rocco tells Valentina that “a few” guests have died. Tanya seems like a likely candidate to die, but it can’t just be her.
  2. On the one hand, he claims to be rich and he’s on a lavish vacation. On the other hand, if he could easily get $1,300, you would think he would want to clear his debt with Lucia to put it behind him and avoid a public confrontation with her. Also, it’s funny that Cam owes $1,300 but Albie owes $2,000. Cam got an overnight with both girls. Albie only got Lucia and got a higher rate.
  3. Lol, it looks like Texags has reversed course on Jimbo. Turns out he’s a great coach after all. Extension time!
  4. You guys are still watching this show?
  5. That was a great episode. I knew some kind of evidence would be in Ethan’s room, figured it we be a thong or something, but the condom wrapper was perfect. Harper might murder someone. Interesting that even though Cam and Daphne have cheated on each other, they seem at peace with that situation and are the happier couple. When they are alone, they seem happy. Meanwhile Harper and Ethan seem completely miserable together. The entire sequence with Mia and Giuseppe was hilarious. Mia and Lucia frolicking around the hotel and gradually interacting with each guest is great. “I need to fuck him right now.” “I’ve created a monster.”
  6. He looks lost out there and it’s pretty easy to think the hype and the NIL money have gone to his head. Hopefully the extra practice for the bowl game helps, and hopefully he dedicates himself in the offseason to becoming better. The beard and the mullet are only cute when the on field performance is good.
  7. I definitely think it would be better to watch it weekly rather than to binge it. It would help to have a break between Roman’s endless diatribes and Logan’s endless fuck offs.

  9. I finished the first 3 seasons. Pretty mixed feelings. There are times when it is great, but times when it is awful and feels like a chore to continue watching. Tom and Greg are easily the best part of the show. So many great scenes with the 2 of them on screen together, but the best part was Tom sticking the knife in Shiv's back in the finale. I was probably ready to check out until that moment, but I may keep watching to support #freeTom. The narrative absolutely sucks. Company in huge debt, let's find a billionair "friend" to fix it. Then there's a bear hug and proxy vote that lasts multiple seasons and goes nowhere. Then they suddenly have extra money to buy Pierce except that Pierce doesn't want to be bought. Then they want to buy Mattson except that their company sucks again and Mattson wants to buy them. It's an endless cycle of almost takeovers and mergers that always turn out the same. Cruises are kind of a huge problem except not really problem at all. Someone has to go to jail, no wait nevermind no one needs to go to jail. Boring and entirely predictable. The Roy kids are all insufferable. Roman is probably the worst because his dialogue is like listening to 13 year old Seth Rogan hurl insults at everyone around him. Continually. Shiv is a horrible person. Kendall is probably bipolar or has some other severe psychiatric issues, compounded by substance abuse and a history of killing someone, and it's just hard to watch him on screen. I think some of the flaws were tolerable for 1-2 seasons, but to keep adding seasons with essentially the same content will get tiresome. I predict there will be some technicalities in season 4 that prevent Mattson from doing a clean takeover, so that will drag on for most of the season and eventually they will be back to square one with Logan in charge and each Roy sibling fighting for the CEO position that will never come.
  10. Finally watched the first 3 episodes. I’m enjoying it although not quite as much as the first. Definitely missing Armond, although I think the new hotel manager will be very interesting in ways we don’t fully appreciate yet. I suspect Greg’s entire reason for being married to Tonya is to get some of her money. I wouldn’t be surprised if the person on the phone is his true partner and he is merely a con man. Four previous marriages could be four previous targets. I liked Jennifer Coolidge in the first season but I find her pretty annoying so far in this one. She seems like a crazy person with a pill addiction who is both narcissistic and completely spaced out at all times. I’m rooting for Portia and Mia.
  11. Cut your hair
  12. Give me Card until I can get Manning.
  13. Well you got me excited because that’s one of my all time favorite books, but it’s actually a TV series and it’s on Netflix (ugh). I think it could make a decent TV series but I have little faith in Netflix to do a good job.
  14. Child of God? I remember it being about guy that killed people and kept their bodies in a cave where he had sex with them. I’m probably mixing up some details as it’s been a long time since I read it, but I can’t recommend that one.
  15. Texas won today. List of teams who didn't win - aggy, blowU, tech, arky, bama.
  16. I could use a new credit card or two for the sake of bonus points. My primary card is CSR because I like the flexibility of redeeming points. I mainly fly AA out of DFW. I usually rotate the Barclay and Citi AA cards with myself and my wife so that one of us has one card at any point in time. I haven’t done one in my name in 3 years. I occasionally fly other airlines, just not as regular or predictable. I did the SWA promo last year so that’s out. Not opposed to a United or Delta deal as long as the miles don’t expire. I’ve done Amex Gold in the past. Liked their travel portal. Not sure if I’m still eligible for Amex Plat bonus since that’s a different product. Lounge access is not a major perk for me. I try to minimize time in airports. Should I do the Citi Premier card with the 80k bonus? Or keep churning AA cards for 50k miles each time? Something else entirely?
  17. The nice thing about Helo is that he can ruffle Astros fans’ feathers on behalf of the other 95% of baseball fans who also hate the Astros but are too lazy to do it. Carry on.
  18. Serious question, what did Helo do to get banned from this thread? He loves the Yankees and when they aren’t playing he focuses his energy on hating the Astros. Is that prohibited now? Is he banned simply because he is unpopular with Astros fans? I understand prohibiting Helo and other Astros haters from posting in the Astros thread, but this thread should be fair game for everyone.
  19. It seems like the $450 AF significantly cuts into the value of the miles. There aren't a lot of other perks (travel credit, Uber credit, Peleton credit, etc.) to offset that fee, like you would typically get with some of the other premium travel cards.
  20. So her dragon killed a bunch of innocent peasants when it busted into the room, but then she stared down the Hightower clan and let them off the hook. Put me in the camp that is growing increasingly underwhelmed with this show. I loved the first 6 seasons of GoT and really wanted HOTD give a similar viewer experience, but it’s like a heavily watered down GoT. It’s not the lack of violence or action that bothers me, but rather that the characters are mostly dull and uninspired. Furthermore, the entire plot is about who will be heir to the Iron Throne, and I’m not invested enough in any of the factions to really care. It’s like watching a PAC-12 football game where I can pick someone to root for but the outcome hardly matters. Next week looks great though so hopefully the season ends on a high note.
  21. I will happily take this win. ISU has beat us 3 straight years and they have kept every game close this year. They were going to be a tough game for us regardless of what Vegas said. This is a game we would've lost in years past and we found a way to win despite not executing on some key plays (missed FG, Cain's missed reception, etc). Let's survive and move on.
  22. Why? Ball was out and the helmet hit the shoulder. It was the right call.
  23. You misspelled century.
  24. On a hot day, I suppose a covered wagon is a little better than an uncovered wagon.
  25. I just finished season 1. When this show first started, I thought it looked okay but that it would probably not have any characters I like or find myself able to root for. I passed on it until recently when I ran out of other shows and I noticed Succession got a lot of Emmy hype and figured it was worth trying. I think my initial assessment was mostly correct. I hate everyone except Greg and Tom. Some of their scenes are pure gold but I’m not sure they are enough of a bright spot to keep me watching for 2 more seasons. The entire Roy family is insufferable. Kendall is the guy I wanted to root for but he’s a stammering buffoon who steps on his own dick every chance he gets, when he’s not busy killing people. He doesn’t seem fit to run a major company so I can’t root for him to achieve that. “I..uh…want to be CEO…to uh…save the company..and…uh…do…good things.” He has no charisma or leadership abilities, can’t stand up to his dad, can’t stand up to his own siblings. Logan is a sociopath asshole who only cares about himself and his company, and who seems incompetent at times (pissing on the rug, buying outdated business assets, driving the company into massive debt), but then at other times seems completely in control. The writing of his character seems disjointed to me. You could blame some of that on the stroke, but the massive debt would suggest he was losing his touch prior to the stroke. Roman is a jackass and what I imagine many guys are like who are born into a family with fuck-you money. He has some funny one liners, and I appreciate that he will call people out for their bullshit, but he’s a cowering pussy around his dad and he’s incompetent when he’s given anything of importance to do (the satellite explosion). Shiv is awful so far. Mainly I just don’t like watching her cheat on Tom, especially with that cheeseball Nate, who seems like he should be on a CW show. And she looks like Todd from Breaking Bad. And her boss, Senator Gil is the least charismatic politician who appears to be running for president on a platform of “I want to destroy a media conglomerate, vote for me.” Connor is annoying as hell, but at least he had the right idea to get far away from the family business and chase young ass, even if he has to pay for it. Team Willa. Not sure I should keep watching unless there is a dramatic improvement. I would like to believe the whole company crumbles, stock goes to zero, Logan dies of a heart attack, Kendall goes to jail for manslaughter, Roman dies of monkeypox, Tom leaves Shiv, and somehow Tom and Greg make out with a little money and start their own amusement park where Willa writes and performs in her own plays. Probably not getting that outcome.
