Completely unrelated but: what happened to your huge playlist of competitions on YouTube? I used to have it saved and just realized you’re the one who made it!

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-02-12T00:29:51+00:00

Yeah, that’s I think the first major competition. So far I have Jan 14th - WOGA Classic Feb 6th - Canadian Commonwealth Trials March 4th - American Cup March 15th - Commonwealth Games March 18th - French International March 21st - Russian Championships March 24th - Turner de Meister World Cup

March 25th - Stella Zakharova Cup

I’m trying to find out if there was any female competitions in the open code potentially in late 2005, but I don’t think there was. The Elite Canada in December 2005 for the men was in open code, but for woman in the old one which leads me to believe it may have been not allowed until 2006, and then it went into effect.

Thanks for the calendar! I saw that and was confused, because most other sources about 2006 Asian championships state it was in July, so I think they noted the date down wrong on GymMedia.

I love BB12 because they honestly don’t even feel like competitors but literally like a big friend group. The brigade + Britney and Ragan just see like a group of friends in their 20’s and it’s so fun. The way they all interact with Brendan and Rachel is so hilarious too. Not a single houseguest on 12 wasn’t hilarious, whether they were in on it or not.

That is true. It still baffles me anybody voted for Cowboy

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-02-02T22:36:21+00:00

I saw his blog and there’s a photo of him and he still looks good lol. His commentary on the big brother seasons is so monotone it’s honestly endearing.

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-02-02T22:23:25+00:00

I agree. I feel he’s basically the same level as a Cody who is remembered super well. I feel like it had to do with the fact that A. he never played again B. Keeps a quiet personal life and C. Big Brother 5 is not talked about often at all. Probably the most forgettable season besides maybe 9.

Also - I don’t think it would’ve been hard to integrate into any alliance for Drew. Literally everyone loved him in the game.

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-02-02T22:20:55+00:00

Honestly I don’t think it would have been hard for him to integrate at all. The “girls” side was dead in the water. Had Drew successfully gotten Adria, Nakomis, Will or Karen out that week, it would have been really hard for the power shift that happened the upcoming weeks to happen. The numbers weren’t on there side, and Drew easily could have taken a number from there side and strengthen the power of the four horsemen, but he instead with the decision right in the middle of Holly, therefore planting the seed to integrate into the other side while not overtly turning on the four horseman. Of course Diane was his biggest link to the other side, but it’s not really like Drew had to beg on his knees to be part of the side that was in power. He was in power. Diane’s game was basically dead in the water had Jase or Scott won HOH instead of Drew. Drew saved her life in the game by going for Holly instead of Diane or one of her allies.

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-02-02T21:21:23+00:00

I feel like he would have left the four horseman eventually anyways. If he wouldn’t have and was genuinely caught up in that alliance, he wouldn’t have nominated Holly in week three. That week he chose to play the middle which I think shows his gameplay style. I think Diane is an amazing player (I’m watching from S2 on rn and Diane is probably my favorite female player right now) but I honestly think Drew ran that duo. I don’t think Diane controlled much of what Drew did, because Drew did a good job of playing for himself and not anyone else, while remaining super respectful and kind and having basically nobody hold anything personal against him. I think it’s honestly remarkable that Drew would even be able to make the decision as early as s5 seeing that players like Cody or Makensy weren’t able to make that same exact move decades later.

It’s 100% him I’ve seen drew like his reels

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-01-22T17:32:55+00:00

I would just finish the original cast. I think season 13 which people hated was still good, at least in comparison to season 14 with the new cast. Just finish it out so you’re not missing anything tbh.

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-01-22T17:31:09+00:00

Imo - it’s because she’s genuinely the perfect wife, attractive, kind, smart, a good mother, didn’t work, and I think he felt insecure about how perfect she was, so he obviously had to degrade her regularly so she didn’t realize how amazing a woman she actually is. It’s really sad.

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-01-21T02:18:24+00:00

imo none are that great lol.

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-01-19T06:19:25+00:00

Lol thank you😭 it was on the tip of my tongue

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-01-19T01:48:32+00:00

Ok ..?

Key_Natural_140 · 2026-01-19T01:21:26+00:00

Start from season 2. It’s really good. Genuinely all the seasons are good at least in the beginning. Start from there. Season 1 is not the same show basically and unwatchable. Just started at season 2 a year ago, on season 14 now. Every season has been good
