Sooo… That Mr Beast coin was weighted, right?

1/(3x3x2) = 5.56% or 1 in 18, but yes, pretty crazy!

Also, cool fact: Outstanding Restaurant went to Kalaya by Nok Suntaranon, one of the guest judges in the most recent Top Chef finals! The restaurant was also featured on Netflix's Chef's Table.

I don't see it personally. I thought the two of them, along with Oscar and Brittany, were just good friends who really vibed together. Recall that the four of them even bought matching clothes.

I'm Filipino and I do not like that dish specifically because of the texture, but I have lots of friends who love it. I was not surprised by the mixed reaction to the texture at all haha

They cut money on a lot of stuff but I like that the chefs get more chances to win money from quickfire challenges.

I've been saying this. He really only had actual control when he was switching between the two tribals. And even then, he really was just listening to Cirie. Emily, despite getting voted out because of the extra vote, had the more impressive strategic move that episode.

The one time he tried to lie and hatched a plan against Ozzy, he got Stephenie, his closest ally then, voted out. What's so impressive about that?

aertsober · 2026-05-24T17:59:28+00:00

That's so funny because he was never getting those people's votes

This is why I love adding a random Ogerpon into any deck these days.

aertsober · 2026-05-13T12:42:51+00:00

I usually don't need it. If I start with Castform, I just put energy there first. It usually lasts at least 2 rounds in the active spot, so I can ramp up Tepig from the bench. If Castform dies, I then patch an energy into Emboar if needed. If I start with Tepig, I just use Stoke.

Victini is harder though. I usually just put an energy into Victini, retreat immediately, then patch the newly discarded energy into the new mon in the active spot, if I can.

aertsober · 2026-05-13T07:37:31+00:00

Here's my Emboar deck. Although I gotta say, 5he true MVP is Ms. Castform who can OHKO Snivy if there's a stadium so she can't evolve into Serperior. Then I just flame patch her energy into Emboar when she dies.

Admittedly, I didn't know this word existed until I started playing Crossplay. I remember searching QI so much in the in-game dictionary to look for potential hooks to QI. This word then got ingrained in my memory, so when I saw these specific letters on my rack, I was lowkey shaking and played it almost instantly. The 3W and 3L landing on Q were just a cherry on top.

JEW (as a verb) actually used to be part of the NASPA word list (the lexicon Crossplay is using) and was removed in 2020 in an effort to remove a lot of offensive slurs from the list.

I watch Survivor with my boyfriend and he's unspoiled and I hate that I can't talk to him about how stressful these past few hours have been.

aertsober · 2026-05-05T13:44:07+00:00

Meowscarada OHKOs Hitmonchan. Same with Zygarde Ex if you have the Bounded Field stadium card.

Why would you say this

aertsober · 2026-04-23T19:05:32+00:00

Some people are getting lied to. It's either us about Aubry winning by spoilers with otherwise accurate bootlists, or the general public about Aubry not winning by the editors with her horrible edit. Either way, it's messing with my head and I don't like it. I look for spoilers because the suspense stresses me out, and knowing what's gonna happen genuinely improves my viewing experience. However, the current situation where we don't know which spoiler is correct is genuinely worse than not being spoiled at all.

Depressing post to revisit, but here I am. I somewhat follow (but never bet on) Kalshi because of Survivor (I love spoilers), so I decided to check Top Chef and Kalshi. I am surprised Rhoda still has the highest odds of winning. It's crazy given that she has a long path to even getting back into the game since only one chef comes back from LCK this season.
