Well, the delta is still in the Central Valley. The Central Valley goes all the way up to Redding, which gets 30+ inches of rain a year and is decidedly not in the delta. But yeah, if we're talking about Fresno or Bakersfield, then those places are desert wastelands, and frankly you deserve whatever bad things happen…

Yeah, Forte was practicing some really dubious firearm safety techniques there.

What part of the valley are we talking about though? I mean that water for irrigation comes from some real honest to God rivers. Those rivers are engineered to within an inch of their lives these days, partly for irrigation, but partially also because Sacramento would be periodically underwater if they weren't.…

Just pointing out that Gina claimed to not understand the Gollum reference and then almost immediately called Lynn a hobbit.

Well, like I said above, the idea would be to use it as an alliance idol.

This is probably a terrible idea, but I was thinking that you take the idol clue, and then share it with everybody and suggest that you use it as a post-merge alliance idol?

They had time to come up with something together too. They thought about it and that was what they came up with.

So if you picked deceive were you obligated to lie, or could you have just told everyone that you picked an idol clue over extra food?

I mean, hey, you're right, a significant part of the thread is also about how this looks like a cynical money grab.

Well, you started talking about the "vibe" of the thread first.

That's why everyone's talking about why they'd rather have seen Aisha Tyler, Gillian Jacobs, and Amy Poehler, right? Really turn it into a sausage fest.

Considering Trank cites The Fly as one of his major inspirations for the film, it may be more along the lines of the Impossibles than you think.

At least Dredd was remaking a bad movie. What's the point of remaking a good movie except to make money off nostalgia?

You have Paul Feig make a movie and this is the cast you're going to get, even if it makes no sense for the project. Dude makes broad, middling comedies starring Melissa McCarthy.

I just don't see where your opinion is supported by the reality of the show. The show does contain pop culture references (as well as references that seem outside of pop culture, like Zardoz), but they usually just inform the humor rather than being the entirety of it. The show is decidely not misanthropic, although…

Who can you actually cast that people would be interested in and isn't a million years old or completely wooden in front of a camera?

That was actually one of the better product placements I've seen, sadly.

Woo played by his own ethos, which was not the ethos of the show. The jury (and Spencer in particular) saw fit to punish him for it.

Every person on the show is pretty much malnourished. Trying to deny people food because you know you're getting voted out is a pretty jerk move.

She was a jerk. It had nothing to do with her gameplay: look at Tony, he was conniving and controlling and backstabbing, but when he was dealing with people, he was never mean or cruel. He smiled to their face and stabbed them in back. Meanwhile Kass is flipping off Trish after she engineered her exit and calling her…
