This. By playing both idols for the only two people that were even being considered to be voted out it allowed her to be 100% in control of who went home. It also showed Jeremy that he was the 2nd option and gave her the only card she could play to gain a little trust in the short term and possibly long term. Not for last night alone but Denise is one of the better and underrated players.

Do they have Rice and TP? Asking for a friend.

Pretty sure that is what ESPN is doing. In the promos it now says "coming soon" instead of coming in June. They would be pretty smart to start it like next Monday in Prime Time and do at least a couple of episodes a week.

That's a fucking "study" of 12. Twelve fucking people. I am not saying people should go start licking handrails but holy shit.

They all have previously won. Not to get in the "deserving" discussion but it is WAY to early to determine who has played a good or shitty game. That said the "new" players are smart enough to know that at some point all the older season players will need to be voted out if they want a shot to win at the end. Speaking of are they doing the full cast jury like they did with exile island? Or has that been mentioned?

The funny thing is most of those people have enough food in there house to last them a good 6 months if they would just eat everything they already had in their fucking pantry and freezer. Fucking morons.

Season was good. Finale was fucking awful. You do a great slow burn build up and that is how they end it in like 2 minutes?

hard pass. f he left on his own he is making a massive mistake. As for his booze and partying being the reason why he isn't there anymore? His shit isn't anywhere close to what Artie was doing. My guess he left on his own because he wanted to do is own thing.

He comes off as a used car salesmen but his message has value to those that need it. I'm not a hater but meh. I did love this-

There are far too many variables in the cable cutting world to know what network/shows need/want for numbers. There are way too many platforms for people to view an episode let alone a full season or five in one sitting. Aside from live sports there is really no reason why anyone HAS to watch a show when it airs originally. I watched the entire breaking bad series in the months leading up to the release of the last season premier.

I never thought in a million years that Vince would be able to bridge the gap so well. This season has been fantastic so far.

I agree on all of that but can't stand Jason. Him mommy issues alone are laughable and I wouldn't tell him a damn thing as whatever you tell him he is going to find away to use against you to get air time. However I do love Fred playing the Elephant drop every time he comes in the studio

I don't think Rob or Sandra are "running the game" Rob has Pav and that's it. He's at the bottom of the barrel in his tribe and they are keeping him around because he's better at Challenges then Ethan. Sandra is no physical threat at all and an easy vote out down the line. Getting the most screen time (via a very nice edit) and running the game are two totally different things. Rob and Sandra are getting a great edit #1 because they give good sound bites, #2. are polarizing players (people love them or hate them which is what viewers like to watch) Also, the main thing that people are forgetting is sending someone to Exile Island is a major decision based on the advantages they know can be given from the players that are there. You have to take that into account before sending someone there and know they are 100% out of the game. Basically keep your friends close and your enemies closer kind of deal. At least that is how I would be playing the game if I was there and knew that someone I vote out has a good chance to get back in the game later and could fuck me over if I don't play it right.

To prove he didn't do it. And prove to themselves and the skeptics on their side that El Cuco is real, even if they didn't want to belief it. Now it's time to all be on the same page and kill da motherfucker.

except they would have lost 2-1 or given up the late goal to tie 3-3 in those years......

The wife and I watched the first episode. That chick from Chicago is clearly going to fall for the meathead guy she "claims" is exactly why she came on the show to avoid. All the while giving up on an actual nice guy she has a connection with because he's a little too young. From the previews looks like there are plenty of fireworks and train wrecks to come.

I think Madison has been massively manipulated by the producers to not tell him "yet". Also saw that the Final 3 stayed in the same suite during the overnight dates. That has never been done before as they normally have their own rooms and don't see each other at all at this point in the show other than at the rose ceremonies. One can only guess they did this so Madison would find out that he slept with one of the other girls (or both) during their dates. Pretty shitty if you ask me but par for the course for this show. Where they will do just about anything to make "good tv".

-I don't know if it's anything in writing but I assume Gary has some sort of relationship with the producers at Fallon's show. They have a lot of the same guests. Spade and Baldwin are great guests so I don't mind them. -However Richard got to the Super Bowl was a great gesture. Regardless if it was for the great show content or not -100% agree it's my massive gripe with the show. Why spend time talking about something that most of the people listening have moved on from. Everyone has already had all of the conversations, read, heard, etc. all recaps they could want about the Superbowl. The ole "halftime show sucked" discussion was awful. Robin was all over that story about Drew Carey's ex GF being killed. Didn't know the name of the former boyfriend, named the wrong guy and then had about 15-20 seconds of dead air trying to find his name.

Not to point but carry on.

Was the other thread not working?

They also are great not only in their game play but they give great in "game" interviews. That doesn't get them any closer to winning the $ but the all important screen time and a producers dream as it makes their job so much easier to tell a story. It's also so much more entertaining for the viewers. And I loathe the ever loving shit out of Sandra. I loved when she sat out the challenge and someone on the other team said of course she is. Overall I thought it was a great opening episode. I like the coin angle as of right now, as for exile island I can only hope they learned their lesson from before and teak it so someone doesn't just win one challenge and get back in the game before the final three. I assume they have. One last thing on Sandra, the whole "Rob didn't tell me for 36 days he was going to play" She either is lying, stupid or producers put her up to that. She has been on enough seasons to know that they tape two seasons back to back and she was going to be on this season she would have had to been an idiot to not assume Rob was as well, especially when they probably all knew it was going to be an All Star season.

I have seen this is nothing more than ABC allowing a rumor to run because it's good PR. I think she was "required" to be kept until hometowns by Producers for "story-line" purposes. There have been plenty of leads that have said they had a one or two pretty much from the very beginning of the season and that producers basically determine who stays or goes or does a very good job getting the lead to keep those that cause drama because it's good for TV.

He comes off as a used car salesman. He's entertaining but would be annoying if you worked with him.

and others-
