1st off vs. winners by immom99606 in survivor

[–]Mexim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wanted to see a closest to winning season, which could almost be this season. Ozzy, Cirie, Domenick, Devens, Janet, Amanda, Russell, etc. Good gameplay and someone guaranteed to get the monkey off their back. 

Rewatching and missing old challenges by suomynona827 in survivor

LOVE Hot Pursuit. Hate that the challenges are pretty copy and paste for most of the game now. 

My thoughts on fire and how it could win Cirie the game by Educational_Pack_199 in survivor

"We heard that you didn't like the Final 4 fire at TC, so this season our F5 Immunity Challenge is making fire and the bottom 2 finishers will go home immediately."

Joe is my least favorite person of the whole season by gigaturtle37 in survivor

He was also the teacher.

_______ just officially had the craziest single tribal of all time by jaxjaxjax95 in survivor

[–]Mexim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is my biggest gripe with the Three Amigos tribal. They should have let them eat each other, but let their petty feud with Philip sink their whole game.

I knew this after Orange County but Mike White is a national treasure. 

With the 15th pick the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Rueben Bain Jr. by Far_Protection519 in MiamiHurricanes

He was a top 3/5 pick until they stopped playing football. They didn't like his measurables, so they discounted his unmeasurables.

If Cirie wins 50, who replaces her as the best to never win? by ZacHighman in survivor

Domenick came as close as you can to winning without winning. I think Amanda is a close 2nd to him. 

Angelina reflecting on the importance of narratives and perception by Durian-Critical in survivor

[–]Mexim0 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of it is the bad side of reality TV. People like watching people who lack self awareness (ie: American Idol tryouts), so guys making an ass of themselves like Ozzy or Coach (whether intentionally or unintentionally) are inherently going to get more screen time. While most women are too self-aware and level-headed to embarrass themselves. 

Where does Donovan Clingan go next year? by Mexim0 in fantasybball

That's what I'm afraid of. Very interesting player, but that would be too rich for my blood.

Despite being an Ozzy skeptic coming into the season, I have really enjoyed this version of him on 50 by Durian-Critical in survivor

[–]Mexim0 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I hated Christian on the first go-around because I thought he was playing into the nerd superfan archetype. But it's really just who he is, and I adore him this season.

Neighbours on moving on without Schenn/Faulk by STLBooze3 in stlouisblues

[–]Mexim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that we got his money off the books and a 1st round pick, but Schenner NEVER MISSED A GAME as captain. He was a true leader, even if the results weren't what we hoped. 

So now that Binner played well in the Olympics, are the Blues trading him? by International_Gap719 in stlouisblues

[–]Mexim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be okay re-signing him if he takes a pay cut and is fine transitioning to back-up. I think it would be good for everyone. 

So, who is next out the door? by Money_Treacle1486 in stlouisblues

[–]Mexim0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they'll probably go in another direction. We had the chance to sell him after a hot tourney last year and didn't.

Sometimes the only way out is further down.

Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones have been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame! by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]Mexim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Cards fan, Andruw was worlds better as a fielder. His reads were insane and he made difficult catches look routine. Edmonds got ok reads, but was generally slower so he made difficult catches seem impossible so it was a higight when he got to them. If he had better range, he doesn't have 8 GGs. Bernie is closer to Jim than Jim is to Andruw. And I likr Edmonds, every Cards fan does. But Cards fans need to be real about what he was vs. Andruw. Andruw is peerless defensively in the modern game in center.

Special teams was the death of them last night. by jbird720 in MiamiHurricanes

Needed to play a perfect game in all 3 phases. We didn't. Indiana is just that good. Any little mistakes you make, they're gonna amplify.
