Played his peak years in Portland, who drafted him in the second round, playing with them in the finals in 90 and 92. Was Sixth Man of the Year in 1993 and an All-Star the following year. Was still pretty good when he went to Phoenix (and apparently made All-Defense second team later with Detroit, but I didn't really…

LJ was my second choice.

And this wouldn't necessarily have to overrule the combined rule. It's just a special rule for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place challenges (reward or no reward).

It has been confirmed that there will be no RI.

My concern there is that the losers who get VTEPs get the same amount of points as people who won their way out of TC. Which wasn't the intention when they were created. Basically, coming in last should come with a penalty. In this scenario, it only would for those who get voted out.

The booty shake will be her own personal immunity idol.

I consider my place in this league my birthright.

Methinks Sims misunderstands what these "pants" things are.

When your contract dictates.

One would hope at his age, he's already paid off med school. More likely that he's paying off an expensive divorce.

It's probably because we didn't have you on as a guest (voicemail isn't enough, I suppose).

Defensive Tackle, not QB. The QB Culpepper had a… much different physical and racial profile, shall we say?

The rest of the contestants would be the dumbest mix of people ever assembled on TV.
