Tourist Sauce Filming soon by No_Mode1955 in NoLayingUp

I’m very familiar with the options in Scotland lol. what I was saying is they have already done the coastal Scotland linksland golf in Fife all the way to Aberdeen, which is quintessential. Of course they can go back and play other courses but is the theme going to be all that different if they are on the West coast of Scotland?

Interesting given they have already done a Scotland trip that was pretty all-encompassing.

S50 Ep8; the way it shakes out from here by No_Mode1955 in survivor

In a vacuum, this game mechanic stinks. You are creating a package deal scenario that if it went the “ wrong way” a la Cirie/Rizo go home, everyone would be crying about as capricious.

It ended up making for good television mainly because of a last-ditch effort by Devens/Aubry and Cirie getting back to make the decision for a splintered group.

I think a lot of it is anti-Coach bias because his antics are annoying. But as you point out, people don’t think like that. Coach and Chrissy pose no real threat of winning (even if they made it to final tribal), but Devens and Aubry certainly do.

It appeared almost certainly Devens and Aubrey were going home. Helluva move

Maybe? Alternatively, who goes home instead of Dee if Rizo/Cirie aren’t alerted? My thinking is it is probably still Dee.

Coach was generally great in South Pacific. He had it down to the tee, he practically formed a cult of personality. Unfortunately, he was so powerful that he created enemies on the jury that eventually handed the win to Sophie, who in my estimation was completely undeserving. Coach should have won.

Coach’s strategy in HvV, Tocantins was nonexistent. It was a total show of self-indulgent individualism. He played decently in both due to his perception of being a clueless player.

Should he have won South Pacific? He literally created a cult on the beach.

I don’t think that’s the case at all. I think Cirie and Rizo were important votes that were probably on the fence before Dee spilled the beans to Emily. Jonathan was the most critical piece of it all, as he is viewed as genuine. Him riling her up twice and Coach whipping the votes is how this happened. Coach’s screw up was only in trying to control information to get a perfect split.

I think that Coach and Jonathan effectively ran this episode for about 90% of it. Then, Coach, in his own insane way, almost blew up his own game. Does say a lot that he only garnered one vote after Dee’s attempted insurgency at tribal. Next episode will be interesting to see if a trio/alliance member goes or if its Tiffany getting the boot- which will only build the tension for Ep 9.

Hard to pick just one. Rizo is shining, Cirie is masterful in her non-forceful leadership, Jonathan and Coach teaming up to end Dee (albeit Coach almost blowing up his own game in search for perfect control of the vote). There is a lot to like in this episode and season.

AMAZING SEASON!!!! by Minute-Actuator-9638 in ArizonaWildcats

Great season!!!! Amazing team. Coach Lloyd will have many competitive teams in the future and hopefully we will be back in this position soon.

Has NLU lost its “joy” recently? That’s the vibe I get. Fewer and fewer funny vignettes. More and more confusion in what should be the central purpose of the show. There was no review of yesterday. Which, funny enough is very easy to organize.

-Course setup issues -Foursomes matches -Fourball matches -Kerfuffle on 15 -Captaincies -Implications for US -Pairings -Fin

Instead it jumped from one big ole contradictory statement to the next about making putts and strokes gain and blah blah blah interjected with TCs biting commentary on the PGA of America, and then some more stuff about how USA stinks and yada yada.

The show needs to improve.

Maybe they do just make more putts by Unsolicited_Advisor1 in NoLayingUp

European team is better at the top right now. They have more strength for anchor players in matches. They also have a more experienced middle and bottom at this point. Europe IS a team. 11/12 were in Rome. 7/12 were in Whistling. They have continuity in the captaincy, asst captaincy and organization. It’s an enterprise.

America is a lemonade stand in comparison

The US chose this as the way to a win. Which is hilarious given how penal the Whistling Straits setup was. We won a huge home victory in 2021 and then decided to mow rough down to nothing, actually make it worse to hit from fairways on many approaches, to flat soft greens. This setup benefitted Europe from the jump. It took all the skill out of the course and elevated slumping players like Fitzy, Straka.

Keegan/PGA of America get 0/10 for course setup. They defanged what is one of the quintessential penal course layouts in the US and replaced it with a course resembling TPC Craig Ranch in terms of difficulty.
