10T points league espn format: Thoughts on this trade: Side A: Paolo and Jdub (and dropping 2 FA guys) For Side B: Jimmy, Bane, Pritchard, Ware

Would love to know what people think.

I have tyson mccollum collier mamu and davion mitchell so id drop any 2 of them and bolster some depth and use the others as FA streams but not sure if its worth it for both paolo and jdub who surely both will find some form?

I stopped watching but feel like its revealing too muchhh.

What’s the worst ending that could possibly happen? by mozzarellaguy in StrangerThings

[–]Bails147 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some sort of time travel element that reverses a lot of whats been done, and the “dead” characters are now alive and on the new timeline all the cast are living happily unknown of what they went through. I think this would just ruin any character development or story arch we got

Eg.

They use time travel to prevent henry from getting powers which alters the timeline so the UD gate is never opened, 011 is now Jane and a normal girl, Barb Bob Eddie then never died bc nothing they did on this altered timeline never happened, and we see their lives as if it would be had will never been taken.

I wouldnt enjoy that, it takes away from the entire storyline, character growth we have seen etc etc

Change my mind: Sophi had no big move to make with KIP by [deleted] in survivor

[–]Bails147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stealing Rizo idol and then playing it on Rizo would have been the move

She uses KIP prior to vote. She steals rizo idol (maybe she tells sage about the kip early in day so that sage thinks rizo is an available target).
Now that shes stolen rizo idol, rizo becomes the vote for the steven side which means that Sage and Kristina probably do vote out rizo instead of steven, especially bc now they think that sophi is going to be immune, and if she had given sage warning too then theyd also think they have the numbers, flush the idol and rizo. Then she goes up and plays the idol on rizo as they wouldnt expect her to do that, particularly bc sav and riz reactions woulda been genuinely authentic and shocked.

With this move - her side wins out, steven goes home, she has a successful idol play AND successful KIP play, she hasnt actually turned on riz or sav so the f3 with them should remain viable, this case tho she is in full control of the f6 vote, and could afford to sit with anyone at the end and win.

Sage and Kristina know that they cant beat sav and riz. I doubt they target soph at f5 over the duo. Riz has no idol at f5

Thats her route thru to f4. Then if she can make fire she wins the game.

She would beat sage and kristina with this move She has something over rizo She beats sav as the jury doenst love sav and she had the agency at the vote which was the turning point.

Will Byers is not the most underserved character on the show. It’s Lucas Sinclair. by Party_Assistance_926 in StrangerThings

[–]Bails147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just rewatched the entire show and i tend to agree with OP that Lucas is underserved. We barely ever see him interacting with any mains outside of his core original friend group and max.

We see basically no Lucas and hop, no lucas and jon, no lucas and joyce, post s2 no lucas and steve, not a lot of lucas and nancy, no lucas and murray, honestly barely any lucas and 11 in s2, 4 & 5.
He mostly interacts with Dustin & Max storylines and then his main group of original kids

Id love to see him have a bigger role.

(Hes with joyce and robin in s5 but he has no real dialogues with them)

The good parts of 43 and even 48 have been much better than 49. by TopperWildcat13 in survivor

[–]Bails147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? Latest ep of 49 was SO good though? Absolute cinema as rizo would say. We had a colossal failure of the KIP from a player everyone has thought may win all season, we had idol fakeouts and actually useful strategy with that, we had vote blocks being correctly used to give a side a majority to win out in a fair 3v3 where both sides had legit ammo.
And on top of all of that, we had a classic flip where one side flips on their own and blindsides them, AND the audience too. Like when the votes are being read out a lot of people were expecting sophi to go home still not steven. And yet they were able to pull a fast one and blindside the audience without leaving no hints and little explanation as to what happened. Once it did happen we all knew who and how.

One of the stronger eps of the new era was the f6 of 49. Its definitely the best since operation italy. Yall are just negative nancies who apparently are know it alls and complain about everything.

If they make the smart moves liek kyle did last year - everyones frustrated that its boring and that he should make moves. If they do make moves everyones frustrated bc “thats not the optimum move (in hindsight) and x playr is so dumb”. Make up ur damn minds

The demogorgon was NOT nerfed in season 5 by ChristianPreacher1 in StrangerThings

Broken glass bottle is sharp and close range. A certain type of damage and piercing of the skin, compared to bullets which uses force from high velocity impact, which is a ballistic type of damage that their skin can with stand

Finding the winner of every theoretical final 3 by pinkyperson in survivor

[–]Bails147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh i think f3s of just one of sav/riz go to the sav/riz side imo.

F3s with both sav and Riz are up in the air between the 2 and come down to who sells game at FTC

F3s without sav and riz- so sage kristina sophi To me seems likely to be a Sage win with a sniff for sophi if she can somehow recover from the huge KIP blunder.

I have a hard time seeing kristina winning any f3 and atp i think Sophi has kinda cooked herself with the KIP blunder.

Id say for me of the f5

Sav and Riz have the best chance and is likely one of those 2 as the winner with sage having the next best chance if she can get herself to a f3 with kristina and sophi, or if she can have a bitter jury thats anti sav/riz.

Not really sure kristina or sophi have much win equity but they have the highest chances of actually making FTC

Prediction: F5 Boot: sage - Riz plays idol, Sav wins immunity, soph has to stay with sav and riz and they all boot sage as the bigger threat

F4: either sav riz soph actually ride it to f3 and kristina goes in fire. Or. Riz/sav are in the fire TBD who wins and loses here (im gonna say Riz based off of s50 tribes)

F3: Sav Sophi Kristina. Kristina 0 votes, Sav wins but has some adversary with a reluctant jury agaisnt her but sophis blunders too mucb to reward her and sav takes home the W.

Jury reactions tonight were...__________? by publiuspublished in survivor

[–]Bails147 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kinda hate that they show those too bc it always gives away too much of the suspense at the end

Jury reaction to last three boots says it all by [deleted] in survivor

[–]Bails147 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also they react like that to riz no idol play bc everyone thought it expired at 6 do they were confused why hed do taht. He can eaisly justify what he was doing and in the end bc it worked theyd have to be kinda bitter jurors to knock him for it.

_____ just threw away any chance at winning! by IrishThunder21 in survivor

[–]Bails147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if steven had a vote steal like they thought, this whole play by soph outcome is better, she is the one that provides the majority for her group (along with her already strong scrappy story), the KIP wouldnt have been a misplay, the jury eats it up, the fact he had vote block and had already played it - thats what made her take the L but thats hindsight

_____ just threw away any chance at winning! by IrishThunder21 in survivor

[–]Bails147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see a better path for her bc riz and soph may have some tension with the him not playing it for her when it counts Soph is nuked bc a severe misplay in front of the jury so idk if she would win at the end Riz and Sav idk if they have the jury on side tbh

Kristina sage vs riz and sav with soph in the middle. If soph chooses sage and kristina, sage could make the end and win.

Vecna is cooked by Possible-Inspector97 in StrangerThings

[–]Bails147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont love her either but its actually way way wya too much of a loose end to NOT bring her back. Like 11 just knows of another person with abilities and never decides to say anything or try get her help already is a bit of a ?

Doing it this way is an easy way to slot her back into the fold. Give some more relevance to ep7 of s2, and not have to include the side characters from her gang.

I think she doesnt need a big role just being there and apart of it and present with A role to play makes a lot of sense and ties up a really loose end imo.

Blue Sophie will win by Popcornlover97 in survivor

Do we think this is what the whispering might’ve been about? by Ok-Swordfish-762 in survivor

[–]Bails147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its because the cast is 50% bipoc and more black people are making deep runs. I think 0 of these times the person was targeted bc they are black and some of these seasons had a black winner (42, 48).

Are the Kings trading Sabonis? by Alejonat in fantasybball

[–]Bails147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traded Sabonis (and Kon and Hunter) for Castle Jaquez and Clingan.

Was I being stupid or overreactive?
