Okay. That was fun. I mean, sucks that Jessica takes Paschal's way out of the game, especially since she could have flipped on Hannah, but a one-in-six turkey shoot? And we got David and Zeke playing "Spy vs. Spy" for at least another week. It's a beta male brawl, y'all. I was expecting David to go out last because he had the same trajectory as Stephen from two seasons ago in a two-hour episode. He tried to opted out of a reward challenge, got coaxed back in, lost that, improbably won immunity, got to go on a reward without eating a grain of sand, and he burned his idol on Ken of all people. If he did it for Hannah, Zeke would've been out. Kinda sucks that we have "David vs. Zeke" for the foreseeable future, since I can see myself getting along with either of them better than the others. What, am I going to relate to Jay? Or Will? Touching that Zeke and Brett had a secret moment. I don't read bios, so Brett's revelation took me by surprise. Jessica has to come back, right? I mean, the only other person I've seen destroyed by a reality show was Sarah over on The Challenge when Johnny denied her money. I'm not a fan of Jessica, but I feel bad that it shook out that way for her, even though she did have some control.

In case you didn't hear, Ralph Branca passed away. He wasn't the first or last goat, but he managed to live his life.

That cat looks mad. That reminds me . . . here's Tilly Pugdashian for the holiday in picture and video. And here are the sisters having fun with a beater.

Funny115: Mario writes about the last line from "Bob Johnson."

Basically, Kacy is Jesse Ventura's character from The Running Man. Sad, really.

What human nemeses would you equate with the "president-elect"? Off the top of my head, in no particular order: Mr. Potter, Biff Tannen, Randal Flagg (with an army of Trash Can Men), Frank Reynolds and Kylo Ren. For the latter, I fully support wearing shirts with Rey on them in protest. ETA: Forgot about Charles Foster Kane. Seriously, if people knew a damaged plutocrat as president was a bad idea in 1939, then why did what happened happen? I'm still a little partial to Flagg. Can you imagine a sunstroked Giuliani driving a nuke into Las Vegas? "MY LIFE FOR YOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!"

Agent Orange's "win" gets overturned, Hillary gets sworn in on the 20th, and promptly resigns on the 21st. We get Tim Kaine as president, and nobody is that happy. That might be the perfect end to a dreadful season.

Or . . . Amaya uses her amulet to channel a horse. Sara jumps on top of her. Cut to the rest of the cast holding their hats in front of their crotches.

Do it, Hillary. Do it. Don't wait until January 20 and sneak up on the incoming president, smacking him with a steel chair. He'll probably have your picture circulated to make sure you don't try anything funny. Challenging him in court would be cleaner. But if she fails, the arrogance will be at 250 percent.

I'm thinking that we might get another TNW before the summer. It's not that getting college-based teams to run isn't a bad idea, but I know that most people don't want to wait nine months to see their favorite ninjas. I might get fatigued watching the women get gassed. Cool that two scaled the Warped Wall. And they immediately go to newly-minted correspondent Kacy. I'm good with her, but I can see how she could wear on people's nerves.

Saw this again on Tosh.0. Cute or creepy?

Man, Julian was channeling a lot of fans. Of course, he turns out to be Alchemy. And even if that wasn't the case, Barry would still find a way to rejoin CCPD. The crossover can't come fast enough. I know Barry deserves grief, but he's such a puppy. A time-traveling puppy who can wreck continuity, but still a puppy. Still not getting how Caitlin can have powers, when it was established that she wasn't affected by the reactor last season. At least the effects people are having fun with the echo effect. Anybody else hoping Wally doesn't go with yellow? I don't think that color works in live action. ETA: I vote we dub Savitar "Doomsday Flash." Who's with me?

This is old, but still cute.

Between recent events and my iPad, I am not giving a crap about this season. Ditto with MTV-based comics teeing off on the cast. And I'll have to struggle to care in the future, especially with no new episode this week.

There may -- MAY -- be an opening. At this point, I just want closure, and I don't want to go online to get it.

Missed the Thanksgiving episode. Caught it On Demand. It's basically Rusty trying to make everybody happy on Thanksgiving. Also, Early and Granny cook and eat a dog. Not for the faint at heart. And it turns out that dog was based on a real-life pooch that recently passed away. Maybe we're going with holiday-based episodes in the future. I can use a follow-up to "Rebel Without A Claus."

So I was wrong in thinking Alice's blood isn't involved in Mario's transformation into an asshole? That's a disappointment. And I'm hoping Bruno Heller is paying royalties to the creators of 28 Days Later.

How about "Cheeto-In-Chief"? Does that work for you? Comedy Central aired the November 9 episode of The Daily Show, with commentary from Michelle Wolf(?) and Hasan. Heartbreaking stuff.

I feel that we're just spinning around until the crossover next week. Winn and Cisco can get into a dork-off. Alex and Sara can see how few moves it would take to kill an asshole. Y'know, as opposed to just snogging for the male audience. I'm good with Henshaw coming back, but "Cyborg Superman" has always been clunky, even during "Reign Of The Supermen." I understand that "Cyborg" is taken, but couldn't Marketing come up with a new name? "Meh" on Monra. Karmon? A small part of me is hoping for Comet down the line, but that's a bit of Silver Age that is really messed up.

So much for Mario being normal. And I'm guessing he's not hopped up on Alice's blood. Damn, I keep forgetting that Ed might be the psycho one in the couple. At least Tabitha can get her hand back. I think they're still finding chunks of her brother. Bullock as captain? Funny, but I'm hoping that doesn't last long. A rogue has to be a rogue, right? ETA: WTF was up with the two hoods in the end? At least try to be subtle about mugging. And Barbara stepping up to the adults' table should be fun.

I reckon that I'm done with cons for the year. Wound up having a good time at NJCE, even if the crowd was a bit sparse. So much room in the panels. Here are pictures from Jewish Comic Con and NJCE, as well as the nine sketches I got in those two weekends. I am now on my ninth book. And I think this show will be my first stop for 2017.

Careful . . . that might be frowned upon in the new regime, @theredhead77. ETA: Anybody else hearing the Mon-Stars' theme from Space Jam? "I hit 'em high, hit 'em high, hit 'em high. And you hit 'em low, hit 'em low, hit 'em low."

You know who could be partially blamed for 2016 sucking wind? The Doctor. Think about it . . . Doctor Who doesn't have a single story airing for 366 days, and Brexit and YKW happened, among other calamities. He's probably still at the restaurant with River. While I know it's not the crankiest Time Lord's job to guide humanity, maybe a ten-episode season could have made things a little better. Then again, those that voted for him probably wouldn't be fans. Can you imagine their imagine their reaction to the Master becoming Missy? Sorry . . . bit of a reach, but I'm thinking that I might channel the Doctor on my blog, as opposed to YKW

This week: Jojo, Speedwagon and Sterotypico Italiano run into Dio at night. Dio, being evil, sics a few soldiers on them that were loyal to Mary, Queen of Scots back in the day. I'm still trying to get used to the powers structure. Speedwagon is not adept and a bit useless, but at least he can serve as a makeshift radiator. Did I mention that everybody except for SI is really, really British?

Before I forget, here's this week's Doonesbury. I reckon this was done before Election Day, and it shows why you shouldn't get into Celebrity Apprentice. Seeing how Garry Trudeau has been poking the thin-skinned bear for so long ("Give those nymphs some hooters!!"), I really hope he doesn't get devoured. His strip survived Nixon, Reagan and the Bushes. I hate to think this would be the end for him. ETA: This isn't totally related to what happened recently, but it does reflect my mood these days.
