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.

in the data she's retired. never wrestles. sometimes manager usually road agent. *shrugs*

But it may be wrong, or I might have the wrong data.

Daffney can be used?

Darn, I didn't know we could make people active.

That's why every body's drafting retired people. *facepalm*

Quick to the shortlist! Worker Ant! I've got a job for you!

I have to dodge 3 picks. 3. and I can grab one of the last guys I need to shape up my roster. He'll hopefully end up being my top face, with the pick after him set to have a nice long run as my super heel.

So here's hoping I can steal him.

Aslong as he lets me have a 90 lbed girl kick Muta in the head? Lots of love for King GoGo the First.

The Republic of Dangerous Headdrop Pro chooses the devious one.

ULTRAMANTIS BLACK!

ROC. Out of curiosity. What's Low Ki's position in the deep south? Statistically beneficial color commentator that informs us of whether or not a certain word means flute? Supervising General Manager of Head Kicks? (If not I'm sooo laying claim to it with Gran Akuma)

Why grab him so early? It boggles the mind, and makes me really interested.

As far as my picks go? Use the draft list immediately if you want. It'll be rare that I catch my turn exactly on time. I have maybe 8 workers left that I absolutely need, and I can always adjust the list as necessary.

And Keiji Mutoh is wrestling in my backyard in Florida. Be jealous.

If I can actually get my next pick? I'll have the beginnings of the weirdest but potentially most fantastic comedy lucharesu roster ever. Drafts are amazing.

Profile: Founded in the 60s by a man named Javier Gomez seeking political asylum, who just so happened to be one of the most talented practitioners of the Puroresu style that the world had ever known.. The Republic of Dangerous Headdrop Pro became a name synonymous with wrestling throughout the southeastern united states but namely Florida where it was based. Until a tragic nation wide accident with some amnesia dust, after that DHP Republica wasn't very synonymous anymore. Infact noone seemed to remember it all. Until now. A handful of dedicated individuals have come together to bring DHP Republica back to the glory it once knew. It's with their noble battles, their spilled blood, their occasional butt punches, that they honor the legacies of men and women that came before them. Rumors that the newly restored federation is being haunted by the ghost of it's original founder? Remain unconfirmed.

I would be very happy to be involved.

See. That's my biggest problem with the fan reactions of the general "There's too much death and graphic violence! This is awful! Why not just have a comet kill everyone, if that's what you want?!?!" view point.

They are normally expressed by people, upset because a particular character was killed.

We didn't get outrage when The Titan's Bastard got whacked, when Micah got ran down, or when the fat boy got needled. Because they weren't characters anyone cared about, or identified with.

On several different boards, I never heard anyone say anything about poor Martin and Willem Lannister, and despite them being little kids, I don't even think Lancel would care about them at this point. Because they're Lannisters.

So, while I certainly mean no offense to anyone, and everybody is entitled to their own likes and dislikes.. I can't help but find it a little silly that the main complaints I'm hearing on the internet about the Red Wedding aren't the skipped details and changes... but that it happened at all, because "GO TEAM STARK!"

I know it was in the books, but I really love the idea of "Hey, I heard you like wolves, so I put some wolves on your wolves." being just for the upset fans.

For me? The awful pat of watching this episode is KNOWING that if Brenda had immediately stepped down when Dawn pulled her "Wah... I haven't one an immunity challenge.." bullshit? Dawn would've still acted conflicted, fake cried, and voted her off with that smirky superior shit.

I can never respect someone that does the weepy thing for the camera, but stays strong and rallies through, so when they act like dicks we're meant to root for them.

And her reaction to the family visit was just brutal. Poor Brenda, that was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

You give the reward away, Dawn hates you, you don't get food and family time, all your enemies do, and everyone gets to use it as a justification for you being too likeable and strong. Which I've never understood. "Yes, Jeff we're going to vote her out because she gave us a reward and if we don't now, she'll be untouchable."

Bullshit. It goes back to the One-Legged Kelly, who the fuck is going to give her a sympathy vote? The island full of people that fear her and have been trying to vote her out since day one?

But if you don't give away the reward, four people hate you, and Dawn gets food and family, but immediately runs over to the 4 and acts motherly the second you get back.

You should NEVER win a family reward, someone will always hate you for it.

Brenda lost when she let go of that rope, but she played a shining example of a "good person" game, which I didn't think she had in her so, bravo.

At this point I'm hoping for an Eddie, Erik, and Sherri final three, just because it would come out nowhere.

I come back and find myself in a strange position of having noone to really root for.

Brenda I WANT to win, but I don't think she has any prayer.

Cochran kind of deserves it, having apparently learned from Sophie's game of "the best move is to make sure others don't make moves." but I think sitting against Andrea he loses 9 out of 10 times, and I don't think he'll have the gumption to engineer her ouster on his lonesome so if SRU takes her out, that's Brenda's move and Cochran hasn't done anything deserving of a million dollars other than being awesome at eating pork organs, dead baby birds, and bugs.

Dawn... I'm just over. If she wins? I cry.

Malcolm is a skilled cat, and a student of the game... But he really did benefit from Denise's aid last season. He NEEDED someone level headed and smart to work with, and unfortunately for them both Corrine isn't level headed. The only way he makes final 3 is an immunity run or with Reynold and Eddie, but if I was either of them? I'd ditch him at four and take Sherri.

Reynold completely read Cochran wrong with the whole bro-down invitation, and that along with the whole Revenge of The Nerds thing earlier this season? Prevents me from really liking him. He's a beast, but his closest ally and best bros 4 life? Ratted him out to the hot chick they were planning on voting out. He lost this game when he coupled up with Eddie, and really his only option is to alpha male his heart out.

Eddie? My money is probably wrong, but it's on Eddie going out the second he's the next to greatest threat. He probably has a few more days of fake dating Andrea before while one of his amigos are voted off, but unless he pulls an idol run he's done in my mind.

Andrea... I can't really predict. I think if she makes final 3 she can pull it out, but I don't know at this point if she'll make it. If anyone gets the idea for black widows alliance 2.0? I'd say it's her.

Sherri has no hope unless the women join forces and then the best she can aspire to is goat.

So....

I guess Erik is my last best chance? Maybe he can Fabio his way to a well deserved victory?

Him or Brenda is my dream win. Malcolm or Cochran I could deal with happily. Andrea? I'd accept. That's about it.

I have watched every episode of Survivor not a recap in full.

This was the first one I had to skip parts of. It... It was uncomfortable to watch.

Brandon going off the rails was a matter of time, but it was painful to see, was disrespectful to the game as a whole, and that it benefits Phil? Hurts me badly.

I grieve for the insanely skilled short man Brandon could have been, rather than the crazy short man he turned out to be. Never suited for this game.

I feel sorry for Brenda and Icecream Scooper. They deserve better, and I'll be desperately hoping for a swap before the favorites begin to lose in earnest.

Could've but I really don't think Reynold is an immediate target in the eyes of their tribe. Outing him served little purpose other than to highlight that she's a player, which in and of itself is a pointless somewhat dangerous move. I don't reckon Eddie, Hope, and Reynold are compotent enough to punish the minor ego trip, but I'll give you it wasn't needed.

On the other hand, she's been playing since she was on the boat. She's observant, seems smart, and doesn't seem content to just ride. For that alone? I support her.

And if I'm being honest? When I look at Reynold and his general attitude up to this point? I don't see taking him and his idol out next week to be that big of a struggle. An appropriate Shamar outburst? And I'd bet on Reynold holding onto the idol because he thinks he's safe as an alpha male with lynch immunity. I could be wrong there, but I'd risk my place in the game on him not using that idol unless it's made painfully obvious that vote split is happening.

I think Laura shows potential, and I'll be rooting for her until Sherri decides she's a threat.

Laura is brilliant, and I'm fearing the day she gets picked off.

I'll be honest. I don't really see Shamar being the stereotypical black guy.

I can see where someone might take that impression, but I feel it's a little false. He's got James level anger and irrationality. He's got te lazy thing. So I KNOW that even the editors think he's the classic black stereotype.

But he's not.

He came out onto the island, expressed his confidence in himself, ragged the other team immediately, in a tribal situation told everyone what HE expected, and when someone did something else got mad, and the ultimately had himself a big grandstanding moment to prove to everyone he's the daddy.

He sulks when he's ignored, blames everyone else for the loss, reacts to feedback poory, and let's someone else do his thinking while looking smug and superior.

He's not Black Guy #314. He's Joel from FvFI. If Joel had no influence.

If Joel couldn't flex and have people ostracize the elderly for him? He would've sat around just like Shamar. Hell, half the time he DID sit around.

If I didn't KNOW I'd regret it, I'd almost give Shamar credit for knowing that he's safe, but it's probably less him gunning for Goat position and more him just being the type of guy that doesn't give a fuck about the game and caring less.

Sherri calling him her Phillip was something of a poor word choice on her part, but I ultimately take her meaning.

For what it's worth? My character assessment of Shamar is he's just President Beefcake without the charming likeable bits, i.e. Joel.

If he makes it long enough? Look for Shamar to talk shit about Sherri and be all "HA! She thinks she's clever! I'm smarter than her!" a confessional I was sooo expecting when he was mocking her on the beach.

IF YOU'RE SMART.

JT being the brains there STILL puzzles me.

Cesternino in an All-Stars is frightening.

He's got alot to prove, is certainly atleast a tiny bit bitter about his last performance, and has had to watch some less than stellar players waltz through the game. He's been watching. He knows the evolution from when he last played, and is likeable enough beyond the friendships he's already cultivated that I have no doubt if given time he could work up a pretty powerful alliance.

And let's face it, Amazon isn't happening again. People aren't going to tell him they're going to vote him out so he scrambles and plays circles around them.

I'm on an All-Stars with Cesternino? I'm going at him with serious tunnel vision like I'm Joel from Micronesia and this is a spirited game of crush the nerd.

Why take the chance with a guy like him? Sure tribal make-up would effect the decisions, but I'm definitely seeing him as a first boot if you're smart.

I'd put down Penner's Abi vote as safety net. Really Penner was in a win win situation at tribal, and just last episode had been betrayed by EVERYONE he was trying to work with tonight.

If all 6 of them vote Pete, and Abi plays her idol for them? No hope.

A vote for Abi is just insurance incase they vote for Malcolm and he does the same, too many variables so unlikely to work, but worth the shot in this situation.

If just one person he thinks is on his side isn't? No hope. It's possible that he would be wary of this considering, and in that case? Voting Abi who is insane, and the type of person to react poorly to even one vote? Not damaging to him.

And then finally? Everyone he thinks he has, he actually has, and his vote for Abi forces a tie, no problem revote, send Pete home.

Skupin once again proves he's unwilling to work with Penner, and Jeff Kent goes home after a thoroughly entertaing tribal.

Penner didn't lose anything from the Abi vote, and was covering a longshot.

Watching this episode go from The Fall of Penner 3, to Malcolm gets beat by the Facts of Life, to Jeff Kent screws Jeff Kent, to Mastermind Pete being fleeced, back to Kent? Best viewing experience, ever.

Pete won a few brownie points with me by telling Abi to cut her crazy shit out, and then lost them all by believing the guy that looks like a deer in head lights.

Great episode.
