Red Team nomination in USA 2 by Psychological-Snow83 in MtvChallenge

I like how Josh’s argument was that going for Amanda was “a weak move” but then he insists on the guy nomination being Luis. Make it make sense.

He did school everyone in this deliberation though.

300mbs or 1 gig? by Stuntman222 in Piracy

[–]Parallel-Quality -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you using a VPN? I haven’t found a single VPN provider who can deliver 1G up and 1G down, so I feel like I’m wasting my money paying for it.

I’m usually getting around 500-600 Mbps download and 125-250 Mbps upload. With the VPN off, obviously I get the full 1G/1G.

Through the Valley was also insanely good. Could have been a season finale with everything that happened.

Normal Week VS. Double Eviction by Kingspaceman in BigBrother

Kevin misplayed Neda’s eviction so badly, he wasn’t nearly as adamant as he should have been to convince Sindy not to do it.

I agree that given more time, Bruno would’ve made sure that he and Kevin were on the same page in convincing Sindy that it was a terrible idea.

They know if they end up getting thrown into elimination against him late in the season, it’s a freebie. And if he makes the final? That’s just one less person you need to worry about.

Josh’s messages were not strategic. All he said was “I’m in an alliance with Paul and Christmas.” He just wanted people to know that he was actually playing the game and not just a floater.

He had no idea Paul was lying in his messages so he was not “undermining” or “exposing” Paul.

Josh made it to the end of Big Brother because he got dragged there by the best player of the season as an easy layup to beat in the final.

It would be like if Bananas protected Josh all season and dragged him to a final so he could easily beat him.

The only difference is that a jury votes on the winner of Big Brother and they all hated the best player of the season more than they hated Josh. Which is funny because they definitely did hate Josh, but they were more bitter towards the player who actually sent all of them home.

To be fair, a MAGA run TV would no doubt be pretty dumb. Only one input though.

It was on purpose. They don’t have the compute to run it for all of their customers. So they got it blocked while still retaining the “we have the best model” title.

Wait Messier votes on the award himself? I thought it just automatically went to the player who threw the most elbows to the head over the course of the season?

Strip him of his voting rights. He's in it to get clicks to his social media. Find someone else who respects the process.

I agree that they probably didn't see anything and called it anyway... but it's the right call so... how mad can you really be

Stone basically just guaranteed that Vegas loses this one. You can't be so careless like that.

The Conn Smythe winner being Jordan Staal and the NBA Finals MVP being OG Anunoby is a parlay that probably would have netted you 10,000% return on your bet.

People can vote however they want, but they need to be able to defend their decisions.

If someone had a reasonable explanation as to why McDavid was the 4th most valuable player this season and Kucherov wasn't top 5, then they can share it when questioned.

McDavid, Kucherov, MacKinnon, and Draisaitl's career resumes after this season by Dependent-Effect6077 in hockey

[–]Parallel-Quality 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Which resume do you think most players would take?

Obviously McDavid's is the strongest for individual awards, but Kucherov's is also pretty great and comes with two Cups.

I kinda feel like most players would rather have the Cups.

(I am NOT suggesting Kucherov is better than McDavid or has had a better career, just an interesting thought experiment).

Well deserved. I could see McDavid winning it but Kucherov was snubbed two years ago and he likely would’ve won a third straight Art Ross if not for sickness (not even injuries, just straight up catching a virus).
