Idiot box thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Not that I've noticed, it's probably a last term thing.

Whew! I was afraid they'd get Joe tonight. So autistic Eva is obviously smart, but I had no idea. She graduated from Georgia Tech in engineering and is now a PhD candidate at Brown in thermal fluid engineering, whatever that is and, if that's not enough she played hockey on the GT team and also is captain of the Brown team. And an NCAA hockey referee. Real life Wonder Woman.

Eva is a stud as is Joe, but I'm not sure either are great Survivor players.

Thinking that they might've blown it by not targeting Joe last night, if not now then when? Lot of lemmings on this season which has turned into a modern Pagonging.


I'm liking Kyle for the win but unless some spines are found it'll be Joe.

As an aside, it was nice to see them do a little surviving by fishing, but apparently there are no game fish within reach of the Fiji beaches. Spearing reef fish is embarrassing.

So if Joe, Eva, and Kyle were the final three, you'd vote for Kyle?

I kinda think I would depending on the FTC.

You?

I think I'd go with Eva. I'm a fan.
But she's won competitions, used her idol/advantage well, kept her alliance, and run a good social game. The "I'm autistic" scene (even though real) was very good for her game and probably kept her from getting votes for at least a couple of councils.

The edit is always deceiving (I always look to see how they react to each other at the end of challenges and on the beach) but both of their social games seem to be lacking a little. Maybe the arrogance of the overdog.

I could be wrong, usually I have a good feel for the winner at this point.

But this time, not so much.

I think we can count Mitch out, probably Kamille. All the rest would seem to have a worthy shot.

Probably right, Shauhin also (they sort of telegraphed that with his lament of not winning immunity). Lot of hanger onners this season.
Too bad, I like Mitch, but as much as I hate to say "resume or big moves" none of these folks have done much of anything.

If the Pagonging continues it's going to be remembered as a mediocre season.

I know this was a traumatic time in your life:
30 for 30
The Band That Wouldn't Die

Season 1, Episode 2
ESPN2 • CC, 1 hour

Filmmaker Barry Levinson uses the Baltimore Colts' 1984 move to Indianapolis to document how a fan base copes with losing a team.
Well done, uplifting. The city that never gave up. :clap:
