I'm guessing it's going to be someone (Cochran? Boston Rob & Amber? Rupert?) making some sort of cameo that the preview is hyping into a bigger deal than it is.

Is there really a Survivor Hall of Fame?

I want Kim to play again just to see if she could repeat that.

Technically if you're not a Neilson household you watching or not watcing has no impact at all on ratings.

Yeah, and I was kind of on board with that thinking after his first time (where the editing made him look more like a lovable rogue than a complete hateable asshole) but looking back… if people don't like you to that degree then you won't win. You won't even win your workplace's employee of the month if there's an…

True. And he actually seemed to think he was a cinch to win which made it worse.

No doubt the cop was an asshole for even giving a shit.

Hanz's game was exposed the third time he played and even the newbies knew that throwing a challenge to vote him off was a good play. If it was Sandra they would have thrown the challenge to get rid of her and she still would have ended up convincing them to vote someone else off.

Good point. I was wondering how he could be dumb and/or confident enough to not play his idol when he knew he had 2 of the required 3 votes against him, but you explain it. He's dumb.

Not that I care, but why couldn't he wait until he got home to get high? Doing it in public just seems kind of arrogant.

I think it's like the Super Bowl. Even if the show/game stinks you'll still have fun just being there.

I must confess that I'm always a sucker for a ladder match.

At the end of the match and show Sami gave a nice speech about how much being the main event in their home town and how even though he hated Owens he still respected him and it was an honor to wrestle him. This made Kevin cry so apparently he told the crowd (in French) to "shut the fuck up."

Not that I'll ever complain about seeing an Owens-Zayn match, but it does seem like it should be saved for special occasions. If they waited a year or two it'd actually be a big deal people were excited to see again. Now it's just another RAW match.

I'll say this for RAW- every segment was designed to sell a match on Mania. Not to say it was all great or even that it was all good, but it at least served a purpose.

Yeah, I remember looking because I was vaguely interested if the tickets were cheap enough. They were not.

He also did some shows with Martin Short that I assume were comedy. Probably not stand up per se, but actually probably similar to what Rock & Chapelle were doing.

I feel kind of bad for Bob and I think Tom treats him with kid gloves. Which doesn't make his calls any more interesting.

Yeah, "You have to listen to all of them to really understand it" means I won't be listening if I arrive more than 5 episodes in. It's too much to ask in order to get some dumb jokes.

Would it have? Really?
