Or was it a reference to her hair? Anyone else find that hairstyle odd?

Next season will be just barely investment grade.

In a pyramid scheme, the first people to get in get their money directly from the people they recruit. The flow of money is strictly one-way; no money goes from the person running the scam to the participants, and so there would be no reason for the last victims to expect to get their money back from the scammer. In a…

It would be interesting to have a discussion in real time, but the different time zones make that difficult. Maybe we could have a thread for each time zone, and ask the Easst Coasters to keep the spoilers out of the West Coast thread.

Well, he was claiming money in their name, so maybe he used their names because the accounts were in their names.

BTW, I just watched the season premiere, and the line "It's like the ocean sneezed into my mouth" really sounded like I had heard it before. Anyone recall where that has appeared before?

No, that was a separate thing. The murder victim was running a Ponzi scheme, while the murderer was taking money on behalf of Holocaust victims and pocketing. Not exactly straight-up theft; legally, it would probably be embezzlement, conversion, fraud, or something like that.

At least they had a twist on the Grinch story, with the cast stealing stuff to put into Christmas, instead of take out.

"and they all went mad with power and ridden out of town on a rail. "

If so, it's rather difficult to evaluate whether that course of action would be better, without knowing what it is. And what you should do depends on quite a few factors. How…

Are people who would like to have sex with more than one person a minority? And just what constitutes "poly"? Wanting to have sex with more than one person? Not caring if one's partner has sex with other people? Wanting to have sex with other people more than one cares about whether one's partner has sex with other…

If you're getting paid for everything you do, what will you spend your money on?

Cancelling jokes are never funny.

Was it "Do you want me to shoot the other one"? I thought it was "Do you want me to kill the other one?"

What sort of consequences would there be? Killing him? They're already planning on doing that.

It's deliciously evil how Probst keeps making the winners of the reward choose people to come along, but do so one by one.

Another option would be for the returning player to start out with a HII. (BTW, if a player is sent to RI with a HII, and they get back into the game, do they still have the HII?)
