  • The roast itself was okay, but some roasters were far better than others. Sophie and Rob were the only ones I thought were funny the whole way through, though Mikey B. was solid in certain stretches of his material. The others were decent or worse.
  • The afterparty at The Parlor was interesting in that we were pretty much the only people there. I guess Benry might not be the best person to have as your business rep.
  • TheGreenMile can contest this if he wants, but I thought Parvati looked about like I expected, which wasn't anything to write home about. Everyone else was smitten with her, so maybe I'm the weird one. I was also not aware that she is dating Fincher.
  • Allie Pohevitz was there and blew everyone away looks-wise. I remembered her being hot on the show, but she is absolutely stunning in person.
  • Abi-Maria was drunk enough that I couldn't understand most of what she said. I chatted with her for a minute while we took a picture, and I could barely make any of it out in between the accent and the slurring. She was a lot of fun, though, and she looked pretty damn good in person.
Obv, our opinions of her on TV differ as well, but Parv looked pretty damn good to me. +1 on Allie and Abi Maria though. Julie Berry also in attendance and also pretty damn hot. Another cute petite little blonde who apparently works in casting there too.

I was less luke warm on the performances and the roast, i agree with you on Rob/Sophie/Mikey B, but i thought Parv, Aras and Tyson were all entertaining enough as well. Only Abi and especially Fincher really missed the mark, but each had a decent line or two. I was kind of expecting a complete train wreck so i was pleasantly surprised.

Pretty fun experience over the weekend and everyone was pretty cool and approachable.

It's pretty easy to see at an event like this how spoilers get out, though. Reality stars like to party obviously, so when the drinks are flowing with fans around, all kinds of stuff tends to slip out, I'm sure. Some, like Skupin apparently, don't even need alcohol to let it all out.

Sorry bro, between Aussie Open and lots of grinding in the New Year I haven't really had time to get myself into Survivor mode yet (read: I haven't had time to look at spoilers yet). But don't worry, as soon as the new season premieres and I've gotten a feel for the players I'll be right back to enlighten you and highlight all your bad posts. I can tell you right now that both cops, Cliff R., tatted chick, Black Colton, Tig ol' Bitties, and Miami Marlins are all drawing dead already. Once KOS announces his annual preseason favorite to win I'll be able to add in another lock for drawing dead.

This post is pretty amusing to read knowing what you look like.

lol, stop acting as though S-S was your brainchild or that you're doing god's work by running that thread. you made a mad dash to start the thread because you finally wanted some recognition around here, I'm sure any one of 10-15 other posters could have easily filled in and done it.

Agree with the first half, disagree with the second. It's almost a lock that J'Tia and Tasha will gravitate towards each other very early in the game or will at least be part of the same voting block. Whoever is smart on the Brains tribe should look to align with these two asap for at least this stage of the game. I also agree that if Garrett were to do this, he should pick up David as well and look to boot Kass first.

I completely disagree with switching alliances after the first vote and dumping J'Tia and Tasha in favor of Spencer. This may not be how things play out since Garrett isn't a "superfan", but if he goes out there and shows himself to be a triple threat and has charisma, I can see a Cochran/Malcolm dynamic developing between he and Spencer. If VTChess is any indication of how chess nerds act, I can see Spencer being jealous of Garrett and wanting to oust him soon in order to boost his own ego and validate himself. I think Garrett's best play regardless of how things shake out is to get rid of Spencer asap.

I just listened to the roast and I think KOS and GM just had different standards. I thought it could have been a disaster too so I was generally pleased. Sophie was great and clearly prepared. Rob was great. Fischer was just mean and bombed. Parvati had a mix of hits and misses.

But considering none of them are comedians I was pleasantly surprised that it was mostly entertaining and they didn't step on the same jokes as
much as expected.

Having swag_troll on ignore is pretty awesome. I wonder why I didn't do this sooner. No more spoiled seasons will be a welcome change

I just ignored Swag since I don't wanna be spoiled. Has he admitted he looks or just always right?

He is spoiled on GOT and pretends not to be.

Pretty sure last season he was hard defending Tyson regardless of what he did.

Install ignore for everyone.

Talked to him the other day, informed him that the season is thus far unspoiled and the thread was safe. Regardless, he didn't seem overly excited to return, which is understandable after UNDRAFTED SPOILED PERSON still felt that it was kosher to make avatar bets with him last season.

The sickest part is that he'd be a top 5 poster ITT if he didn't have the insecurity of a middle school girl. His ideas are typically sound and his work in the BB14 thread was legendary. It's borderline impressive that he's managed to make the cons outweigh the pros so substantially.
