A gentleman's sweep (or a real one) is still on the table, but even though, on paper, Boston is supposed to make this series quick, this is exactly why I didn't subscribe to a quick exit for Indiana. Unlike Golden State, Boston sorta is lazy and untrustworthy sometimes when it's not ideal. Indiana might care a little so there's that

Probably helps that Boston is about .500 at home in the playoffs

They do have to play the games, but you might want to turn to a different sport with that. Though I hardly think Denver or the Lakers were beating Boston. The regular season and the postseason are totally separate

I was just about to post my typical post of congratulating the Celtics for winning the East before the series even began. However, as mentioned I think it'll be a pretty good series. I still think Boston will win, but I imagine the favorites will drop a game at home as is the custom. However, I do think, unlike Cleveland, Indiana will look respectable on its home court. Indiana just needs to do what it does best. Probably a split in the first 2 games and the second 2 games, then game on. Probably necessary for the West that the East finals don't end well before the current month comes to an end

Thank you Xander. Long overdue & worth it!

While we'll never know how Scottie would've done sans all the stuff on Friday, I think it's looking like Collin or Xander's event to lose. But they'll have to play well since there are a ton of people within reach. Scottie was without his caddy, BTW

Sounds like both sides aren't telling an accurate story of what took place

I had to go to ESPN to figure out what on Earth you were talking about. It's too bad this has played out, and I'll learn more & know more in terms of the details later on when I have time. As mentioned it's too bad, there are no winners but everyone else is irrelevant compared to a human being whose life is over.

The first thing that they'd need to do is to boot the people that are casting the show. The time being away from the family is tough, but people who love the show (should) know that already

No worries, the fans will draw a line in the sand and send the message that they're perfectly happy to watch even crappy football regardless of the risk to player health because football! Oh wait, that's actually a bad message to send. If a schedule release of a sport is more popular than actual games in other sports, including their biggest games...what are you going to do? Keep in mind that the objective of the show was addressed throughout the day on Wednesday. I'd be a solid hypocrite if I were irate over it, given that I could have read a novel on Wednesday nights in lieu of this season of Survivor. It isn't great; it would obviously be tragic if someone's life ended over the grind of the sport, but until proven otherwise, no way the league changes its ways

Honestly, I think that I'm seeing Gabe vs Cassidy 2.0. I'm not say that Kenzie's comp is Gabe or Charlie is Cassidy, but I think I'm at the point where Maria's comp is Karla. Though it would not be a surprise if Maria is ousted at F5 thanks to Charlie. I so can see Maria working the jury. Though she would think so; she doesn't have the respect there, but I think the Jury would crown Kenzie before Charlie. Based on what I've seen, Kenzie looks more capable toward stating a case as to why she should win. Maybe there isn't anything, but I don't think Charlie can sound bold enough to state a winning case

Looking back, one could be surprised that someone hadn't given up immunity as an obvious target according to the folks at home, or went home with 2 idols. Until they bring the entire cast back as the next returnee season. Nothing spells Survivor better where Jelinsky wins immunity, gives the necklace to Kenzie, doesn't play a regular idol, gets the most votes, has a chance to play a super 2006 HII, except he forgot it at camp.

I hate to say so, but I might reach the max level of being a pathetic tv watching human being, if someone in the next TC gets voted out with an idol in the pocket.

Plus, he'll be about 50 more or less at the very least. The 2000s version of BR? I think he'd be up for it. However? I do see it as a decent and solid pass

This might be the first time I ever considered respecting the move for Jeff Probst & company to be fired. Or CBS casting. Or the person that will double down on the decision for two Survivor seasons similar to this nonsense while just half as many for a former 10-time Emmy winning program. I should be happy for Q going home. And that move was great more at the expense of Maria and less at Q. The latter still sucked, but things escalated for everybody and everything else to where it was just very good, but not great to see him going home. Television programming has been a thing longer than Peachy has been alive. You have to know that you shouldn't need people getting voted off in record fashion, and from there, the victims feeling happier than a 10 figure Powerball winner. That's not Survivor. Each of the last four people getting kicked out would've been fine without an idol. Maybe either ditch it or go back to the rules that were in place in 2006. Of course, if they did that, each of those last four cast offs would have simply left a super idol on the damn beach, which would have been worse than Reichenbach's exit 16 years ago.

The record hit long ago. It just extended it.

I'm sorry, while someone has to win, no one deserve it. That's not the eventual winners fault, but I'd fire everybody right now.

There's no ego in Kenzie. For the most part. It makes sense for her to win. Someone does have to win the game. That being said, I cannot put her in the category of deserving to win. Or anyone else. When the TC play has been a total blunder, that more than watered down the product of the season. Through no fault of her own.

It really just extended a record

I'm trying to find the comp toward tonight's Tribal Council. I'll do my best. Someone exited, but not before that individual found an idol. Roses are red, violets are blue, most grapes are purple, the sky is blue, the grass is green, corn is yellow, oranges are orange, coal is black, snow is white, my hair is gray, Christmas is December 25, Valentines Day is February 14, if Super Bowl 61 is delayed, St Patty's Day is March 17, Halloween is October 31st, July 4th is easy, Memorial Day is the last Monday in May, Labor Day is the first Monday in September, Turkey Day isn't always the last Thursday in November, but it is always a day everyone outside of Dallas can root against one team, Jeff is peachy, Survivor is worth playing for, the tribe has spoken, accurate spelling is possible, the Micronesia members officially look like the smartest players in the history of reality TV, and cookies are...just that damn good!

Damn. Though the age difference is only a half dozen years apart

I'm trying to find the comp toward tonight's RC & IC. I'll do my best. Maria won the big one (after Charlie won something again). Roses are red, violets are blue, most grapes are purple, the sky is blue, the grass is green, corn is yellow, oranges are orange, coal is black, snow is white, my hair is gray, Christmas is December 25, Valentines Day is February 14, if Super Bowl 61 is delayed, St Patty's Day is March 17, Halloween is October 31st, July 4th is easy, Memorial Day is the last Monday in May, Labor Day is the first Monday in September, Turkey Day isn't always the last Thursday in November, but it is always a day everyone outside of Dallas can root against one team, Jeff is peachy, Survivor is worth playing for, the tribe has spoken, accurate spelling is possible, and cookies are...just that damn good!

Man, I guess I should be happy that Q found it!

It was posted elsewhere at the beginning of the week. Due in September, I believe. Meh. TAR didn't have anything ready for 2 seasons. I'll give CBS a pass. They ran in full over the past couple of years. None of the mid season nonsense

Never thought I'd say this, but shut up Maria
