  1. In my life, I’ve seen Neil Young 10x. The first 5-6 we’re all primarily acoustic shows. Never with Crazy Horse at least. My sister got me tix to a 1986 NY&CH show at the EC for my birthday. Fuuuuuuuck. Everything I hoped and more. That show made me a fan of Like a hurricane, a song I’d previously been pretty tepid about. Neil just shredding the solo, hair and flannel flapping in the gale force blast of the industrial sized fan pointed directly at him. At least, that’s how I remember it. If you were there, don’t shit on my fondest birthday memory.
  2. Off topic, but I’m listening to Rubber Soul and just realized Revolver was a step back for them. It would fit before RS on their arc of always being better than the prior album.
  3. Well, turns out we were both correct. They do have to say it every time and they do sound fucking insane. This is so fucking stupid. So everybody is going to know exactly who has the immunity idol because they keep repeating some weird ass phrase. Why not a somewhat normal phrase like "Whatup Probsty?" that won't immediately out you as having an idol? I'm hating all these new twists they've added, but they don't effect the reason I watch this show, so I'm in it to the end.
  4. This is also true. Lot's of family and political drama like GOT, but interspersed with what is going to have to be some crazy ass battles scenes where multiple people are riding around on dragons. Damn, typing that out makes it sound like a real challenge to keep this from getting cheesy. I kind of wish they'd have just gone all the way back to the beginning of the Targ rule and Aegon I landing his big ass dragon in what will become King's Landing. Maybe they'll skip around in the time line if it lasts enough seasons.
  5. You will not be proven wrong. HOD is going to center on the big family fight over the throne between half-siblings. It's called The Dance of Dragons, so expect a lot of dragons. This fight was the beginning of the end of the Targs and their dragons, so if it goes 8 seasons like GOT, I'd expect less dragons at the end of this series.
  6. Oddly, I like that they took my most favorite part of GOT and made it a series. The book it's based on is great. I remember when they announced the first GOT spinoff that was going to go all the way back to the age of heroes and thought, "wtf? They got the Targs and their fucking dragons over the past 300 years and they're going to go back 10,000 years for this shit?" So I'm happy.
  7. The way he worded it, I think he meant they played better than last week.
  8. Imagine how surprising this is to a Dallas fan who rarely watches the games. I didn’t even know he was expendable. I might need to flip on the TV on Sundays and pay attention
  9. I stuck it out. I usually listen to a wrap up podcast the next day and I didn’t even do that this season. I’d say you make the right decision.
  10. I think, instead of comparing this season to past seasons, we are comparing this season to what could have been this season. At least I am. Yeah, it was better than every recent season except for Tyler's, but it was still pretty boring. Absolutely no chance of anything happening from the time we got to jury to the final 6. Seeing if the CO could pull it off was the only interesting part of the season. But the CO is also the reason it was so bad. The most impressive alliance we've ever seen basically made the season a snooze fest. Having to boot out good players like Claire, DX, SB and Alyssa to keep two worthless sleeping lumps of flesh took a lot of the fun out of the season and 90% of the strategy. At least I think almost everybody is happy with the way it ended and who won. Can't even say that about a lot of recent seasons.
  11. I kinda think this season sucked, but at least it sucked for different reasons. I feel like we missed out on some really good game play this season because of the CO. I'd like to see what TIff, X, and Kyland could do in this game if they aren't handcuffed to a group they can't turn on. And I'd like to have seen Derek F and Azah be eliminated prejury like they would have been.
  12. I'm thinking he only has to say it once. Everybody was there and everybody heard it. If it has to say it again, he's going to sound insane.
  13. I don't know if I was joking or not. I have no idea if he fumbled since I haven't seen it in 9 years. I just like to say that, and will continue to do it every chance I get, because it obviously triggers people like you who take this shit WAY too seriously. I have no interest in seeing a video of it, and I don't give half a shit about a possible 9 year old fumble or a 5 year old glorious day of watching the refs buttfuck UT all day to OSU's advantage. I think the only way to settle this is for you to Zapruder the shit out of that possible fumble, frame by frame. Each frame should be accompanied by at least a paragraph describing in detail what we are seeing in each frame. If you could have that for us by Friday, I think we can finally put this to bed. But, I'll continue to bring it up and act like it was definitely a fumble every chance I get.
  14. I'm an Amber fan too. I'm choosing to think the hate is mostly coming from one direction (Fessy) and he's infecting some of the other people (Berna) via a proxy like Ester. Unless I'm underestimating all the hate, Berna and maybe one other rookie girl was dishing out all the hate. Is there anyone else hating on her that's not directly tied to Fessy? Plus, everybody in that house probably talks shit about almost every other player during their one on ones. If production needs some hate, they probably have a backlog on every player in the house. Last week was Amber's week to dig into the archives. At least that's how I've decided to look at it, because I think Amber is hot and pretty sweet. Plus, I'm an OSU fan so I obviously am drawn to the underdogs.
  15. Jesus. I’m didn’t read any of that drivel, but is he actually threatening to beat me up? Over a blown call from 9 years ago? This thin skinned pussy is the epitome of what other fan bases hate about Texas fans. In case any of you normal ones ever think “why does everyone hate us?” Go ahead and flame away Mr Sensitive. I won’t read it, but it obviously will make you feel better. And he fumbled. And Poona Ford did hold.
  16. Yes we will. Because he did.
  17. Good to know some things never change. At least she's being ok on the show. Wonder is there's any truth to the Tony & Jenna thing.
  18. I hope they don't send Esther home. I'm liking her. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm kind of liking Amanda this season. She's toned down her psychotic behavior so much that a new viewer wouldn't even know what a psycho she can actually be.
  19. What about Corey L from this season? I'd say he doesn't fit the mold. I recently watched all the seasons available on Paramount and Frank was not worthless. As far as challenges go, I'd say he bordered on badass. He was one of the biggest bitches ever, right there with Shane. But he was a hell of a competitor. I believe the guy who wouldn't jump out of the plane was Nate from Are You The One. He almost made it to the final that season, but he bitched out on the eating comp and didn't finish.
  20. I used the word "yucky" last week to describe the feeling this is giving me. Once this season is over, I hope every CO member comes out and says "To all future black HGs, DO NOT TRY THIS! IT FUCKING SUCKED!"
  21. What do you mean? You don't like them focusing on black people on BIP? I think they're bringing the drama pretty damn well.
  22. It’s probably that I like DX and Claire and don’t enjoy seeing them manipulated like this. And it’s terrible television.
  23. Yep. I was trying to figure out what makes this yucky. It’s that’s they are making decisions not in their best interests. If these decisions were getting them one step closer to winning, ok. But they aren’t. How does DX being evicted at this point help Hannah win the game? Or Claire next week help Tiffany? SB & X? They don’t, so we aren’t seeing the best possible game play. Actually, we’re seeing the worst. Tiffany literally said last night she wanted to keep DX, but it wasn’t in the best interests of the CO. She’s a shrewd enough player that I don’t think she wanted to keep DX just because she likes him. She wanted him there because he helps her game. So we’re stuck watching the same shitty game play we’ve seen the past several seasons, but instead of everybody working to help Cody or Paul (lol) win the game, they’re playing to just make sure one of the CO win. One it’s down to 6, this shit needs to get crazy. Otherwise, it’s same shit, different color.
  24. The fact that a lot of them don't seem to like each other might be the biggest reason nobody is catching on to their existence. It's pretty fucking genius. A bunch of people who don't all like each other form an alliance and each alliance member forms a deep, sincere friendship with one person from outside the alliance. Then, at some point in the next few weeks, the alliance member has to totally fuck over their friend and probably seriously fuck up what would have been a life long friendship. I know it's a game, but something about this whole set up feels yucky. And I don't think it's about race. I think if everybody in the equation was white, it would still feel yucky. It's probably the fact that nobody seems to be playing the game they want to play to advance the cause and it's made the season not very fun to watch. I know if I'm Derek X, I'm letting Hannah's calls go to voicemail for about 6 months. TIffany is going to completely destroy Claire when she turns on her. I wish they had played it straight and just made sure they stacked the jury with cookout members. I know their goal is the first black BB winner, but this almost feels like it deserves an asterisk.
  25. I don't even know what you're talking about. That's a commentary on how little attention I'm currently paying to this show while I watch it. I hear her voice, I look up to see if she's wearing a bikini, if not, back to my phone.
