I missed the votes too, but yeah, everyone says it's Tasha. I wonder what her reasoning was.

Yeah, I would have dismissed her sexism claims had it not been for Spencer. They really seem like the exact same person to me, but Spencer gets a pass on his smugness and his arrogance, even though it's demonstrably more undeserved than Kass' smugness and arrogance.

Tribal Councils always strike me as way more brutal than the actual voting.

Because she did something petty in a heated, stressful moment and then felt bad about it afterwards? That makes her a real asshole?

Did they have many balance and/or endurance challenges this season? I think he would have performed well at those, but instead they seemed to be mostly running/swimming/puzzles.

I preferred Heroes vs Villains.

I expect his performance will be just as tone deaf and poor as it was this season, unless he gets a book on self awareness.

Rice pouring or no, I really can't fathom booing an ordinary person on live television.

She still blamed it on her gameplay though, rather than her rancid personality.

I personally think latching yourself onto a headstrong player and clinging for dear life like a barnacle is a totally valid strategy. It seems to work on Big Brother more than Survivor, but it has worked a few times on Survivor too.

I half wondered if he was going to lie and say he didn't have a wife and kids to secure Jeremiah's vote.

What does that even mean, in this context? Is it uncouth to dislike Spencer?

I thought it was astute of him to snuff out the final two and I liked his argument to Tony that both Woo and Kass were unlikely to take him (though apparently it was not true in Woo's case…and probably not in Kass' either), but he still executed it extremely poorly.

What jedi mind trick did Spencer pull? He got himself voted out.

Ugh, I don't think so. Maybe I'm just blinded by my Spencer hate, but I doubt he changed more than 1 or 2 minds, and that's being generous. It irritated me that little lord spencer once again appointed himself the voice of reason and spoke down to all the stupid, plebian sheep surrounding him.

There's an article about this book on i09 that's eerily similar, unless you're the author of that article, then I guess it's not so eerie.

Yes, they do. I don't know about old school Dr Who, but the fanbase for the recent iterations have been particularly unpleasant for bah humbug types like myself.

I'm not against anyone enjoying the Room. I'm not sure how I'm not making myself clear.

gog.com had a sale on ultima recently, so I picked up a bunch of the early ones, but I never played them back in the day so I haven't yet gotten the hang of the mechanics. Usually I just go to some abandonware site and try out a random game. I wanted to play these because I was reminded of how fascinating Richard
