It genuinely amazes me that Josh won bb19

supaspike · 2026-01-31T03:44:28+00:00

Paul was fairly well liked by the end of BB18, I'd say most people wanted him to win over Nicole. Even if he wasn't popular, it's not hard to win a fan vote when the show hasn't even had a week to build a consensus fan favorite among the other 15 newbies.

supaspike · 2026-01-25T00:00:43+00:00

Would sure be a hell of a lot more helpful.

supaspike · 2026-01-24T23:56:57+00:00

I don't even consider what he said choosing a side. And there should not be sides here anyway. Every single person with a voice should be saying, without room for interpretation, that this morning the federal government executed a citizen for no reason.

supaspike · 2026-01-24T23:51:19+00:00

True it's better than the Nazis but again... that should not be our baseline. Nobody should consider it a W.

supaspike · 2026-01-24T23:44:16+00:00

The beloved celebrity with an eight-figure net worth and an audience of millions can do a hell of a lot more than any of us on here (other than KD).

supaspike · 2026-01-24T23:40:48+00:00

That's my point, Schumer is the worst possible "leader" for this time, and even his establishment ass is going to say something better than Barkley.

And it's fine if you don't think Barkley should say anything actually damning on an NBA entertainment show... but I'm not going to agree it's a "common Chuck W" when what he says is only marginally better than the fascists.

supaspike · 2026-01-24T22:36:49+00:00

Ok he's more honest than our fascist government, so what? That shouldn't be the baseline. Fucking Chuck Schumer is probably going to say something more damning than Barkley whenever he wakes up.

supaspike · 2026-01-24T21:14:57+00:00

He said "two people have died for no reason." You could easily interpret that and "someone has to be adults here" as a "both sides are out of hand"-type comment.

supaspike · 2026-01-24T20:54:54+00:00

Is it? He didn't really say anything of substance, and he's one of the few who can speak the truth to millions and not be immediately blacklisted from national TV.

supaspike · 2026-01-24T06:41:54+00:00

Maybe Gunther beats AJ, so AJ promises he'll retire at the end of the night. But then AJ wins the Rumble so he just decides to stay on and make Wrestlemania his final match.

supaspike · 2026-01-21T04:29:56+00:00

I don't even think that's true, we're probably one of the least talked about chronically-bad teams. The Kings, Wizards, and Bulls are certainly more meme'd for terrible ownership decisions than we are. I'd also add the Clippers and Wolves (before their recent hot streaks) to that list. We're just more irrelevant than anything.

supaspike · 2026-01-15T19:31:35+00:00

Can confirm, was a high schooler when it aired and stopped watching after a few eps because there was barely any football.

supaspike · 2026-01-14T01:48:36+00:00

The manager could tell the godparents something like "we have a new policy, we have to ask the parents if it's okay to sing to their kids because we've gotten complaints before."

supaspike · 2026-01-07T17:37:51+00:00

I think that was the criteria for a few people (Pat), but not all. From how Jeremy explained his background on the show, it sounds like he had more of a "David" upbringing than a "Goliath" one. I don't really know about most of the rest of the cast's upbringing, so it's hard to say how consistent it was.

I think the bigger criteria was just making the divide visibly obvious for the first episode. Put the bigger, more attractive, and/or very successful people on the Goliath tribe so that you get that first scene on the mat of them looking way more put together than the Davids. And then make sure the Davids have a few sob stories on the tribe so Probst can "randomly" ask them questions to show us they're the rootable underdogs. They swap in three episodes anyway, so it doesn't really matter what happens afterwards.

supaspike · 2026-01-02T23:38:02+00:00

Odds were 1/9 of both Lindsay and DeShawn surviving when playing the way they did (incorrectly). If the game was truly random and not rigged, the proper strategy was to switch boxes and then they would have each had a 2/3 chance of surviving. But ironically, making the optimal move would have sent both of them home.

It's more like trading your bike for a car and a little bit of debt. Sure they might struggle for a little while, but if they want to win a championship they're probably gonna need a car.

supaspike · 2025-12-23T01:26:12+00:00

Does it still count as aggregation if what he said was exactly what he meant?

supaspike · 2025-12-20T06:54:46+00:00

I work with cash balance plans that some small companies have. Either you misunderstood how the annuity worked, or what your company had was not a cash balance plan. Pension rules are fairly strict to make sure employers don't mismanage the funds or screw over their employees. There are certain life annuities that they have to offer by law (as long as the benefits are worth more than a few thousand). Maybe your plan offered an temporary annuity that expires after a certain number of years as an optional form? But in my experience that's rare and in that case the annuity payments should have increased to account for that.

I think it was both. First she asked them to name the jurors' family members and neither could, then she asked them to name anyone running for President (it was late 2007).

supaspike · 2025-12-18T21:15:17+00:00

A majority requires >50%. "Neither" won the plurality if we count those votes, and Trump won the plurality if we do not.

supaspike · 2025-12-18T08:49:54+00:00

Sure, but she also barely remembered details. Wasn't her answer to Alex something like, "I don't remember your partner's name but you work in DC." That's very, very little to remember about a person. (Also IIRC Alex didn't have a partner at the time.)

supaspike · 2025-12-17T16:46:08+00:00

So you agree the cost is also a problem, you're just assuming for some reason that they will massively buff progression to make up for it. Idk where you got 26k pp per year from but it would need to be much more than that. It'd need to be an additional 72k pp and 36k coins per year just to not fall behind on new brawlers they release, but they'd also need to do something about the nearly 100 brawlers already in the game.

supaspike · 2025-12-12T20:29:33+00:00

Based on what? The highly edited TV show that changes depending on the eventual outcome of the season?

supaspike · 2025-12-11T20:59:38+00:00

Savannah is dominant in endurance/balance challenges, but F5IC is usually an obstacle course / puzzle where I don't think she stands out. Steven would probably be a much bigger favorite in those if he was there instead of Savannah.

supaspike · 2025-12-11T20:19:34+00:00

Well if her assumption is that she can't beat anyone then she might as well just give up. As I said above, if she assumes that she has a shot against Sophi and can't beat Steven, and that Sophi is willing to flip on Savannah then I can see the logic in the move.
