I wish the HUAL guys had had more time to really delve into the Royce White situation.  That could have been a segment all by itself; as it was, we got a decent discussion of advanced basketball metrics with Morley, and then some pretty brief comments about White.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Oh you'd better believe that was the Juddinator, man.

I think it was shocks.  I am not proud that I remember that.

I'm not sure that quite counts as making enemies but I get your point.  To me, Skupin fairly easily beats Abi, Carter or Lisa and has trouble with Malcolm, Denise or Penner.  And tonight, he was given one alliance that contained 2 members of the former group and 1 member of the latter, or an alliance where the numbers…

Chris winning the final challenge in Vanuatu was a total setup.

I think you're underestimating Skupin's social game.  He's played a surprisingly effortless game, meaning he's worked really hard under the surface to avoid making enemies.

Yeah, the producers monkeyed with the game there, but it saved us from a boring Pagonging and gave the endgame a great underdog story.  Danni was a great player stuck in a shitty situation; Abi's shitty situation is entirely of her own devising.

Man I hope not.  And it's not as if they brought the Outcasts twist back (there was Redemption Island, but it was a much different setup than the Outcasts).  Survivor thrives on heroes and villains, and Lil was neither.  She was just a whiny baby who sucked at the game.  A Fairplay/Sandra final would have been the…

I think Skupin destroys Carter - there's a reason we've gotten the Rick edit with this guy, and that's because the other castaways barely know he exists.  Penner's trickier, but I suspect he's made more enemies than Skupin.  But either way, he's easier to beat than Malcolm or Denise.  Nobody else in the game should be…

It probably has to change every few seasons since the problem with the Rick is that, by its very nature, you forget about it after a couple of years.  For a long time, I still referred to this as the Lydia Edit.
