Anyone actually know what the Tyler Perry provided twist is? I couldn't find out because I heard Jeff Probst say the words Tyler Perry and Tweet with the largest smile I've ever seen, but I am curious.

I haven't watched an episode since I clicked on this thread and saw that Vytas and Caleb were gone. I've never done that before. I've never backed out of watching this show. But right then it seemed academic, judging from Caleb and Hayden's "We're taking out Tyson!" preview, and the "First she voted out her mom, and now Ciera is the most dangerous player in the game." *Tyson glancing pensively in Caleb's direction* commercials? It wasn't hard to piece together. I caught the end of tonight's episode by accident. Coming in from work with it playing and hearing Monica say the words "I'm the swing vote." I didn't know exactly who was left, but I immediately knew the end result. It made the rest of show painful. Hayden made a mistake at FTC, throwing around the word control in his opening statement. "Yeah, I couldn't win Immunity, but there are other ways for me to control this game, wink wink." Though I do have to hand it to him, tip toeing around Jeff's "Are you looking for a crack? Like Monica? Someone easily manipulated and stupid who would ruin her game by turning on Tyson, like Monica?" line of questioning. As less savvy player might have fell for that bait. Ciera for her part, pushed WAAAAAAAAY too hard. She started off well enough, but that's not the tact you take with someone like Monica. Granted, you'd never change her mind, ever, even if there was a "If I win, someone named Monica Culpepper who has these last 4 social security numbers gets double the prize money." clause. But "YOU SUCK AND YOU'RE DISAPPOINTING BRAD!" isn't going to reach her, and let's face it. This is a woman that was perfectly happy to work with Colton until she was expendable, whipping out the mean jerk label wont make her run screaming to your side. The really sad thing, is even if both of them played it perfectly? Monica was always going to vote how she did, because that's the game she's been playing every step of the way. She's paranoid and rethinks herself a bit, but she's content to sit there at tribals and look sad and conflicted about it, and then stumble through an explanation about how it was all strategic and her game play from the beginning at FTC. Ciera brought this on herself by not hauling ass to a Caleb Hayden Mom alliance the second her Mom suggested it with "PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE IN WITH HAYDEN AND CALEB!" Hayden played an okay game, but I'm far more interested in whether or not Kat jumped off a bridge because he called Katie hot, and she finished in a more socially acceptable position to date. At this point Ciera's hopes lay in an immunity run. And if her Mom comes back? That's blown. It's shaping up to be an uninspiring Final 3 for me. Tyson deserves it, he'll probably get it.

"We're 5 men strong.... We've got 4 men and a gay guy so we're good." So this episode is why Monica was cast in the first place? My mind is blown, like really. This is some Chikara shit right here. It's been years in the making, so much effort and time put in, but they've finally done it. Hodgeboom, Jimmy Johnson, Grant, even Jeff Kent. Useful in their own ways but ultimately falling short of the goal. A famous jock alpha male placed on a tribe where he SHOULD be very successful, who is not only vaguely aware of strategy but has the potential to be entertaining as well as dominant. Brad Culpepper is the Survivor Unicorn. He is our Messiah and he has come to save us all. I'm not sure that the "Gervase was celebrating!" excuse is the reason Marissa got the boot so much as that she seemed intelligent, and made the mistake of acknowledging Brad's tarp foot in mouth while he was standing right there. It's like calling Coach a temporary player an hour before he assumes control of the tribe. Brad seems collected enough to use Gervase being annoying as a really dumb excuse, but petty to the point that he'd take her "Not on my tribe!" comment as a personal attack, and prioritize her eviction over puzzle failure. Saddens me because Marissa is one of the few young black women I can remember on this show that weren't immediately classed as crazy, bitch, or ghetto, but doesn't seem to be a player. Rupert clearly fighting his own legend, looking for any reason he could to take back his over the top volunteering? That was amazing.

So, i just got back after my week away. I'm not quite sure what stage we're at, but as far as I know I've got 3 picks. Assuming that any of the following are available? I present my heel stable. 1. El Hijo Del Icecream 2. Kodama 3. Tursas

Think it's my turn again. Let's go Colby Corino

combatANT

I believe it's into my pick. I don't see him on exclusive, though I could be wrong. Pinkie Sanchez

It may be more beloved than I'm aware, but for my tastes the movie never gets enough credit, and next to Professional Pirate this has to be the best song in it.

Agreed. If it's cool with Eddie.

I have plans in my head for a 3 day title tourney as the opening event. So I'm sort of drafting based on a diary that might never appear Storyline wise? UMB isn't super important, but I did have vague plottings of him hanging out with Icarus and Sidney Bakabella as the greatest heel triumvirate ever assembled. Frightmare judging by the roster is shaping up to be the flippy talent workhorse, really. I would outright trade Mutoh for Ibushi, but I doubt you'd be interested in that. But your roster does have some talent I'd love to work with in short appearances. Would a trading alliance be out of the question?

My next pick. If he's not drafted three times first, but I doubt he will be. Tim Donst. I've tried real hard to avoid copying other people's rosters or drafting the obvious Chikara choices. Chris being his follower? Amused me on a level I can't describe.

I draft him as well.

Moore is on the clock.

dude eddie... I updated my draft list. Oh well.. I didn't need Green Ant anyway.

I called myself checking and I can't spot him with an exclusive. So.. Orange Cassidy please.

we're about 11 minutes into mooregasm.

Joshua Fatu is Jey Uso. I've taken his 3rd contract spot already. But I'm sending a message to Eddie to see if i can switch him out for my new number one. If I can? Xmaster can have him.

So.. My math may be wrong but I believe I'm 15 minutes into my next pick now. Soo... Hydra

I think there's a little under 2 hours now before I'm up. I may be wrong there, so if someone with an actual grasp of time can confirm? I'd appreciate it. Either way I'll be here to draft my own pick.

Sidney in the cc data is usuable as a manager. I would naturally assume he can be drafted to fill such role. Since... He is a manager. But if not? I'll pick someone else.

Sidney Bakabella

Sousa? I hate you. And am willing to trade anyone for Saturyne. I draft the voice of Dangerous Headdrop Pro. Scott Steiner

The Republic of Dangerous Headdrop Pro drafts the future of professional wrestling. The boon compatriot of the Devious One.. You thought he was dead, but he's a zombie fresh from the grave... The man, the myth, the legend, THE WINGED RING WARRIOR! Ladies and Gentlemen.. We give you... A shortlist apparently. No sense of showmanship here.

Not trying to complain. To be honest? I thought she was being drafted as an owner or comish figure when I saw her picked first. Just kind of curious, like with Low Ki, why she'd be picked so early as retired. Got me interested. Now kinda sad, because I would've liked to read about her v.s. brodie Sorry.
