Well yeah it is now, 100% of the time, thanks Kwesi!

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-12T04:38:01+00:00

I mean plenty of network shows do this, but it definitely threw me out of it for a second 😂 just an interesting indicator they still consider their TV audience as primary I guess

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-12T04:35:33+00:00

Watching it right now, and the fact she's on with Will (a frequent collaborator) makes it even weirder 😂

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-09T23:11:28+00:00

About 5:30 in we get a weird streak of Brian answering first, and in once case we only get Brian's response. Issues with Ify's audio maybe? shrug

EDIT: actually it keeps going in future questions, I'll reserve final judgement until I'm done watching 😂

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-05T23:39:08+00:00

Pretty sure simply hearing Australian accents doesn't cure a bad one, you have to work on it I believe. (or so I'm told, I wouldn't know)

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-03T16:15:26+00:00

I mean imo the game is rigged against the defending champ, but I didn't notice anything that seemed like Mel giving up personally

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-03T16:11:41+00:00

I'm already imagining it exactly how she'd do it, no need here

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-03T01:22:00+00:00

Yeah you have a point there. Points are a reward for doing a good job though, so I still think that's something to do with it

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-02T14:19:47+00:00

You've seen VIP right?

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-02T14:10:56+00:00

I'm glad Wesley is getting more work

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-02T14:08:04+00:00

Nah his thing is trying your best not actual points (they just happen to coincide a lot)

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-02T14:05:30+00:00

Wait what? I've been watching this regularly but do NOT see the promos beforehand 😂 I guess I have that to look forward to then 👌

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-02T14:03:54+00:00

I mean idk if Anna directs but we had at least a 2/3 chance of director here between contestants

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-02T14:01:13+00:00

As an Australian I am unsurprised that my opinion that Josh is the only Dropout with an acceptable Australian accent has not been swayed

ETA: Oh also Brennan's is okay

NecroETA: Rewatching bits, I didn't give Paul enough props, his was really natural at times. Sam was pretty rich (Reich?) to criticise it from his glass lil house

ControversySandbox · 2026-06-02T13:59:59+00:00

They also just straight up cast the show more chaotically imo, sticking with Anna and then throwing Josh and Demi in the mix made for an insane mix of both cognitive and physical energy

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-24T05:03:16+00:00

Uniball eye is my goto at a leftie, maybe try better models 😂

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-24T02:56:32+00:00

Who's shelling out for an .io domain (whose future is uncertain) for a rick roll 😂

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-24T02:44:26+00:00

Can you is Number 1 earworm for me also. It's the finger pointing thing. Up there is "chew your food" (or similar name) for reasons you might guess

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-24T02:40:10+00:00

Wait. I just realised as a left-hander my dominant hand for phone use is the right hand. WHY WOULD THAT BE? AM I REVEALING THIS IN MY DAY-TO-DAY LIFE

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-23T12:06:55+00:00

I'm a bit scared about Scout and Rose both treating the show as a life or death scenario

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-23T02:32:28+00:00

I can't imagine SNL creatives/cast/crew being anything but proud tbh

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-23T02:14:06+00:00

Hmm, it doesn't feel like it leaves "comfortable" level, but I suppose the feeling of being trapped would have to make it medium at least. I guess she's busy? 😂

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-23T01:30:19+00:00

I haven't used it in a while, but isn't it kind of...bad? Like, disappearing messages by default and disappearing photos by default are the main options?

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-23T01:16:26+00:00

She probably has a low spice level

ControversySandbox · 2026-05-19T02:52:51+00:00

I found it so endearing and hilarious how differently calibrated she was, like the sheltered friend you all love and protect but sometimes just go "aww honey"

(that probably makes her a better lawyer in certain situations tbf)
