I said it on TWoP, and I need to throw this out again: why not hide an immunity idol in the tribal idol? Even with clues, I don't think it would dawn on people to not poke around in the various nooks and crannies. Just squeeze or shake the idol in a certain way, and out pops a smaller idol for personal use.
Oh, and down with Redemption Island and Blood Vs. Water, though I'd suspect Probst would immediately dismiss me as a non-fan.
ETA: I like the idea of tribal-exclusive idols, especially in a "One World" setting. Just because one of those got into Colton's grubby mitts doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

I got this:

So that's that. Fuck NBC Universal for forcing all of us out, albeit to slightly identical premises.

Okay . . . so far, so weird. Just wish they could've done this in the actual morning, as opposed to the middle of the damn night. Dunno what to think of "The Save." Also don't know what to think about Survivor people in the game. But since I'm glass-half-full on this show, I'm sure things will work out.

So . . . it turns out I have/had 25,963 active posts on TWoP, presumably since January 2001. Was I dedicated, or did I need a life?
How is everybody? I'm wussing out of going to the TAR start-up tonight. Why did they have to do it at 3 in the damn morning? If there was daylight, I would've went. I want to go, but it would be a pain in the ass to get there and back.

I heard Kill La Kill is getting a dub. How good of an anime is that? I hate to say it, but my anime interests don't go beyond Toonami and Pokemon. What else should I look into?
On CN, I watch Adventure Time and Teen Titans Go. Oh, and Robot Chicken, though the returns haven't been as great as in the past.
-
I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight, so I'm hoping some folks reading this will go and report back. If we're getting returning teams, or if there's a new gimmick at work, we need to know about it right away.
-
There hasn't been any more information posted, has there? I'm still unsure whether it takes place tonight or tomorrow night. And Times Square is a big place, so zeroing it down to a specific locale would be nice.

LakeGal . . . at least that guy wasn't Papa CJ. That guy was a straight-up hack. I was hoping he'd die on stage so he'd be reincarnated as a better comic.
I never got around to seeing last week's episode on DVR, and I'm on the fence on whether I'd be interested since I'm watching The Challenge (not proud about it, just sayin'). I kinda liked what I saw, though I do miss judges tearing up a time-wasting asshole. Then again, inviting people onto the show would make it better. Now if only I can get used to Roseanne's cackling.

I'm guessing nobody wanted Preston as a teammate . . . which sucks, since he was more or less made for the 3D Twister that the producers came up with. Well, he was more made for it than CT, who was hanging on for dear life.
Even with Cohutta winning, it was still a bit of a down night, because I find Laurel to be insufferable. I would be scared around her. I'm convinced she eats people and swallows their souls. Also, Aneesa needs a life . . . she's 0-for-10 in Challenges. Even Tonya wound up winning one in her "career."
ETA: Fuck Johnny and fuck his banana costume. He probably has three of those made. Have I mentioned how much I hate him?

Anybody else miss Sasuke? I remember the olden days (just seven years ago), where you randomly catch Ninja Warrior on G4 and get enthralled. As good as the Americans get on ANW, it doesn't match the Japanese equivalent. And I don't think anyone can reach the badass levels set by Makoto Nagano. Sure, he wiped out in the early stages near the end of NW, but he was awesome to watch in his prime.
-
I was just about to post that. Is anybody else up for a field trip? I'm thinking about it, but it's rather late, and I'd like to see some fellow fans from p.tv. I don't want to be all by my lonesome that late at night.

I think Jordan isn't that bad. You just have to put him against a huge piece of crap, like Nia in his RW tour of duty. Also, Johnny was flexing his muscles after his win, and he would've fellated himself if he could.

That reminds me . . . according to Gabriel Iglesias in his stand-up, he's the second-most popular comic in Saudi Arabia. The first? Jeff Duhham. He found that out where he was on tour there, and his chauffeur wasn't put off by Achmed the Dead Terrorist. The guy punctuated that with "I KEEL YOU!!!" I just thought that was funny, even if that fact is a little depressing. And I think the routine is in Gabe's "Aloha, Fluffy" Comedy Central special, if you need it confirmed.

Thank you, Shadow Wave. It's like he suffers from a disease where he's unable to see his own reflection. He talks an epic amount of shit, and he doesn't realize what a dick he is. Worse, everybody around him seems to enable him . . . from his friends to the people that cast him each time. That's why I wanted Jordan to beat him . . . so he can get thrown off the bus and become the non-entity he was destined to be.

Okay, see, I thought that was Kitty. Doesn't explain why her name was that high in the credits.
I'm also guessing that the destruction of RFK Stadium was the reason why the Senators left Washington to greener pastures in Arlington, at least in that universe.

I just want Johnny to suffer a little. If Jordan had another game to play, I'm certain he would've beaten Johnny. As much as I hate to use a nom de famewhore, I want somebody to squash the Banana. Is that so wrong?
The elimination round between Johnny and Jordan does rank among the worst in the show's history . . . which, in my head, are Jodi/Veronica in Inferno II (where Jodi lost, the Bad Asses crapped on her, and Klepronica leaped into Rachel's brawny arms) and Abram/Timmy in Inferno III (where Timmy initially won, got DQ'ed, then announced his retirement due to his injuries). Seeing Johnny flex his muscles and suck his own dick was nauseating to watch.

Nice movie. They should've subtitled it "The Search For The Shiny Reset Button." Can't believe everything went back to normal (or as close to X2) in the end. I'm a bit confused how to tie the movie in with The Wolverine, but it was a fun waste of a few hours. And the after-credits scene leads into The Next Big Thing, much like the DisneyMarvelverse.
Apocalypse putting together a pyramid by his lonesome, surrounded by admirers and his Four Horsemen in Ancient Egypt?
Call me a sucker, but I'm there.
I saw Anna Paquin's name in the credits, but I didn't see Ms. Sookie anywhere. And come to think of it, where was the Stan Lee cameo? and since when can Kitty Pryde project a consciousness into the past? I get that she was the one to make the journey in the Claremont/Byrne story, but I can't write it off as a secondary mutation.
-
I'm hoping somebody puts Johnny in his place. CT couldn't do it either time (winning last season and the "Bananas Backpack"). The Entourage lawsuit backfiring doesn't deter him. He needs to be kicked in the face, because nobody else seems to want to do it.

Does anybody else miss the "Fallen Comrades" bit? Yeah, it's a time-waster, but so were Probst's cut-ins that gave us so little.

I think it was Spencer who called Kass a "brain dead weasel." Considering he spent all 37 of his days with her, I'd like to think he had a point.
Exciting season with an unlikely ending. Dunno about the fates of the souls of Tony's loved ones, though . . . could he use the money to buy them back from possible damnation? Then again, it did work for him . . . he came to within one pity vote from getting a clean sweep, and this came after he was reamed out for his gameplay by jury members. I guess that I was expecting less of a blowout than 8-1.
ETA: If Sue Hawk can try and get people to vote for Richard, re: "Rats v. Snakes," I have no problem with Spencer speaking for Tony. And he was right . . . Tony hustled his ass off to get to Day 39, which was what I was saying in that other forum.

Maybe we don't need a reunion show. It just seems pointless, especially when Probst starts handing out hummers like they were going out of style. In retrospect, I'm surprised 2/3rds of the Beauty tribe got passed over along with Lindsey for quitting. I get the latter, but I'd like to know how close she came to stomping on Trish.
I think this was the shortest reunion in the show's history. Why Probst had to insist on cut-ins during the finale, I do not know. At least we won't have to think about him for about four months.

Here's one from last week's Arrow finale . . .

I dunno about "deserving," and there's a chance the Cowboys might've overtaken them had the Afghanimals not U-Turned 'em. But I give Dave & Conner a ton of credit for pulling out the win. And they'll probably never get invited back, which means no ageist complaining from Dave, which means everybody wins. I understand where he was coming from, and I disagreed with the bulk of criticism towards him, but I could understand where the complaints were coming from.

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on the various Adventure Time comics out there. When I go to the library, I can find trade paperbacks in the "juvenile" section. Like the series itself, the comics (from BOOM! Studios) aren't merely for kids . . . they can be as subversive as the show.
I've found a lot of books . . . for instance, there have been three original trade paperbacks published so far: "Playing With Fire" features Flame Princess on a quest to save Finn's soul (pre-breakup, obviously), "Pixel Princesses" features LSP and B- and C-list princesses getting sucked into BMO, and "Seeing Red" takes Marcelline and Jake into the Nightosphere to retrieve her prized axe. "Candy Capers" is supposed to be about Peppermint Butler and Cinnamon Bun trying to find Finn & Jake, but it's mostly about teaming up Ooo's finest to fill the void (like Marcelline and Tree Trunks, for instance, and Ice King and Susan Strong).
If you don't feel foolish looking through the kids' section of the library, you should give the books a look. And BOOM! puts out the series and various miniseries on the regular . . . in fact, one of them will feature Root Beer Guy and the Banana Guard Academy. And you can even find stuff from the world of Aaa, with Fiona and Cake, so there's something for the Rule 63 crowd (including a Flame Prince, unseen on TV).

Thanks for the explanation, Hanged Man. It's easier to just consider NBC/Universal as assholes, though.
