I really like Troyzan, but he's not going to make it to the end. I feel like he's might make it to mid-merge (about six players left or so) due to his strength and hidden Immunity Idol. Tarzan seems like the kind of guy that you should keep around as he's not going win any jury vote, but he's just annoying enough that people are going to want him gone. Boston Rob realized how smart it was to keep Phillip around, but I'm not sure this group will be smart enough to keep him around. The girls definitely remind me of the Micronesia alliance. They've got the guys wrapped around their fingers and they're going to be able to pick them off one-by-one. The person I'm most interested in seeing how their game plays out is Christine. She's in such a weird position right now and I'm not really sure when her time will come. EDIT: Just threw on Jonas' exit interview on Rob Has A Podcast, and it turns out that most people want to keep Tarzan around because he's such a "Phillip Sheppard". Interesting.

But I really liked The Adjustment Bureau.

They don't have much of a choice this year as he's out of options. I imagine he'll be in Vegas for most of the year, unless Thames gets shipped somewhere or he's really not working.

EASTERN BRACKET 1) Community vs. 16) One Tree Hill 8) Only Fools and Horses vs. 9) The West Wing 5) How I Met Your Mother vs. 12) Peep Show 4) The Office vs. 13) Columbo 6) Blackadder vs. 11) Eastbound and Down 3) The Walking Dead vs. 14) The Tick 7) The Shield vs. 10) Frasier 2) Seinfeld vs. 15) Star Trek: The Next Generation Pretty easy voting as for the most part, I've only seen one of only two. I used to be really into OTH, but Community blows it out of the water. Never seen either Only Fools or West Wing. I feel like I would like Blackadder more than Eastbound, but my friend and I have plans to run through it this summer. It kind of pains me that I had to vote for Frasier, too. Never been a fan.

Little dissapointed to see Snider sent down to Triple A. Hopefully Thames can either thrive in the role, or be good enough to make him trade bait. I've been rooting for Snider for a while, and I'd really like to see him get a fair shot at left field.

I changed one of my nominations to QI because I saw Skummy posted it, but didn't think to ask whether it'd be allowed. Is it? I'm assuming not.

I heard 25 is being filmed right now.

The first time I played I got destroyed. Still had a lot of fun, though.

At a teen retreat I ran in early January, one of the other youth leaders brought up a couple of board games I had never played before, both of which I adored. The first was Ticket To Ride and the other was Settlers of Catan.

I didn't realize the controls had changed again. Not sure how much I like Pulse Pitching, but I'll get used to it.

I think people think that because he said on multiple occasions that the game is all about making big moves.

I'm most definitely picking it up, as I do every year. I'm really looking forward to the Diamond Dynasty mode. I'm sure it will need some major improvements, but it should be fun to mess around with. Hopefully the online is a little better than it has been in the past.

The entire Transylvania UN scene from 30 Rock was fantastic.

I'd also be interested in joining.

Anybody seen the trailer for NBC's Awake. Looks really good.

You guys reminded me of this fun scene from Portlandia.

Roadhouse.

I loved the last episode barring two things - the ridiculous synchronized swimming proposal and the very end. The problem I have at the end is that I don't care what happens either way. We either get "Rachel says no and we have to deal with the break-up of Finn/Rachel or she says yes and one of them ends up screwing it up". I just want them to be involved in a storyline other than them being together.

Caught up on some tv today. Modern Family - never ceases to make me laugh. It's always got some hilarious lines and is has one of the best ensemble casts out there. Portlandia - Armisten has really started to irritate me on SNL. He's had a couple great skits over the past couple of years, but he's generally a one-note character. But for whatever reason, I adore him on Portlandia. I think it's because he and Carrie Brownstein play off each so well. Either way, great stuff. Glee - just the first new episode of 2012. There was some cringe-worthy moments, but for the most part it reminded me of relatively early Glee, which is a good thing. It still has a lot to improve upon to get back to where it was.

Just pretend Wonder Woman let him borrow her Invisible Plane.

I think it's more like choosing whether or not to wear the crown in Booker's entrance or the clock for Boogeyman's.

Man, for the game being out this long, I'd have expected the servers to be fine by now. I didn't get too frustrated at the beginning because I figured it was due to the mass amounts of people flooding the servers, but come on, it's almost February.

I've been keeping up with this as I love the show, but have yet to post. I thought I'd post my favourite quote from each episode. PILOT "Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money." TOP BANANA "You didn't eat that, did you?" BRINGING UP BUSTER "Wow, we're just blowing through nap time, aren't we?" KEY DECISIONS "Say that to them in Spanish." CHARITY DRIVE "...termssss... one term and one condition." VISITING OURS "No, I need your chair. Get up." OUR MOTHER THE CAR "Um, is it okay if I do it for mom and not you? "Yeah." "Because I really like mom." "We know." IN GOD WE TRUST "There is no God!"
