Sorry, my brain auto-corrects for Rodney sometimes.

See, I think people are dismissing Tyler's edit just because he lacks a strong on-camera personality. We've seen him discussing a ton of strategic play with his alliance. It's just that he's not Jenn with the wisecracks, he's not Mike with the game narration, he's not Rodney or Dan with whatever the fuck Rodney and…
Agree on all points.
I would love a Mike win, but he would have to go on a huge immunity run. Even if the others start cannibalizing their alliance, he's still just one person. Maybe Dan and Sierra come back to his side, but that would remain a big climb regardless. And nobody in their right mind would take him to the end, so he basically…
That's a great point, definitely the only way they could have actually pulled the thing off.
I love Mike's game so, so much. Legitimately one of my favorite players ever. He's come a long way from the guy who ate a scorpion on the first day. Pity what happened at the auction/immediately after.
On Dan and Sierra not switching their votes, it looks dumb from our vantage point, but I think they were legitimately taken off-guard by Mike going psycho last week. And, to his begrudging credit, I think Rodney used that situation perfectly. Tyler and Carolyn massaged it on the yacht, too.
I think Tyler wins. Mike's getting the great underdog edit and if not for the huge mistakes last week, probably would have won. The discussion tonight at Tribal signaled that Tyler should be considered the strong favorite at this point, though. He's in the majority alliance, he's starting to get the "If you don't vote…
I don't think Tony got a villain edit. I think he got a Tony edit. He was just a weird player.
She did hate him pre-merge. One of the strangest things in a strange, strange season is that Sierra and Dan almost seem like a package right now. And I have no clue how that happened.
I don't know if Rodney was thinking "Shut up" while Dan was talking him through the immunity failure, but I was definitely saying it.
In a world without Internet, you would have read one Entertainment Weekly preview.
Stoked for 'Jurassic World' and all of the nostalgia buttons that is pushing. Whether it's good or bad is irrelevant. There's a new 'Jurassic Park' movie in the theater. When I saw the original, I was seven years old. 21 years later, that seven-year-old kid in me is just ready to eat four boxes of candy while watching…
I watched the first half of 'Leprechaun Origins.' When it became clear that the leprechaun was not going to say "I want me gold" or "There's going to be a killing if I don't find my shilling," I turned it off.
One of the writers must love The Supremes. I feel like we get a clue about them every other week. Though this is probably just confirmation bias working. In actuality, there's probably been three clues about The Supremes in the last year and I'm just projecting here. In conclusion, I enjoy listening to The Supremes.
I'm not trying to say that it's a black-and-white thing, where no pre-teens enjoyed LOTR and they only flocked to the Marvel stuff. I'm sure plenty of small humans went to/will go to both kinds of movie. I do, however, think that I'm going out on a pretty strong limb when I say that Marvel's movies skew and market…
Just because it has those things does not take away from the fact that everything might as well have been covered in a layer of ash.
There are overlapping demographics, sure, but I would guess (foolishly?) that Marvel's stuff skews wider and younger. LOTR was a very popular series and made a ton of money, but those are not movies that are geared toward families. Everything about them is grim, dark and grimy, with a complicated mythology that…
Peter Jackson was making movies largely targeted at people over the age of 16, whose attention spans ranger further than a line of pixie sticks. Marvel, on the other hand, is somewhat handicapped by the fact that their target audiences include pre-teens and families. No family in their right mind takes kids to a…
I'd prefer to just live in these movies for a 105 minutes to 120 minutes. I don't think I could handle 3 1/2 hours.
