Out of boredom, I am taking random classes online.
Right now I am doing Ancient Philosophy.
Why? I don't know. More like "Why not?" haha

I just signed up for a sign language course.
My cousins daughter is really good at sign language. It's an impressive skill.
If I did a language course, it'd be to improve my Spanish beyond conversational - which is a bit generous to even call it that. Obviously being able to speak Spanish well in California is a relatively important skill.

That was quite the unceremonious departure for Sandra
How she got eliminated. Then how she quit edge of extinction.
That said, she's seen how it goes on that island. She's 100% right, she's no good at challenges. She's all social game and that's useless on edge of extinction. She probably made up her mind going into this season that if she found herself there, she would just drop out right away.

Ended up watching Survivor and For Life..since The Challenge was 1.5 hours long
I'll watch it tonight.
and I think I'm gonna get the free month of Netflix to watch Tiger King..because all I'm seeing is meme's and I'm tired of wondering what is going on. But I think I get what's going on

Part of me wanted Rob to make it back in but he'd have just been eliminated soon anyhow. So Tyson was a better choice for entertainment purposes.
The Challenge was great. The twist at the end. 100% yes.

I'm wondering if it was really that close at the end..or just was for tv..but I was 100% pulling for Rob and yelled at the tv for him to just pull up on it to hurry up and get it in the hole.
Challenge was indeed good. and I still can't stand Swaggy C & Bay..I hope Bay is out next already

That's what I was telling my wife.
That close OR producer editing? Haha

He's up there in the top 5 of most annoying Survivor players. I was ready for him to go, hopefully Nick is next.

Frankly I don't even know who I am rooting for at this stage among the active players. I tire of Ben and Nick. Never cared for Kim, Michele, Sophie. Tony isn't as fun this year. Sarah is kind of annoying this season. No chance Denise wins.
Maybe Jeremy. He's kind of playing a slow, not overbearing game. Maybe Tyson because he was in that alliance with Rob/Parvati.

I watched a few movies this weekend I had on my DVR,
Uncle Drew..surpising decent acting from Kyrie-C-Webb,Reggie, Shaq, although I dont think Nate Robinson spoke
Hobbs & Shaw...ehh wasn't all that good
Venom..not my type of movie but I like Tom Hardy..was decent
So yea..nothing sexy

If you've never watched Breaking Bad...you must
and if you have watched Breaking Bad..and loved it..you must watch Better Call Saul
BCS is just as good, next season is it's last, and season finale is next week..good season

Next on my list is Ozark
Hear a lot of good things about that show
Hobbs & Shaw is good for what it is, a Fast & Furious spin-off with similar over-the-top action, similar humor (although I preferred my Rock/Statham humor in smaller doses like in Fate of the Furious) and similar nonsensical plot.
I enjoyed Venom. Found it surprisingly humorous. I think the sequel will be better now that they flushed out the origin story and can start incorporating other elements of his comic book character.
Was interesting seeing Michelle Williams as the token love interest. Quite the versatile actress doing that + musical stuff like Fosse/Verdon and The Greatest Showman + her numerous dramatic roles that she has gotten multiple Oscar nominations for. She's also done Broadway. As a big Dawson's Creek fan, never would have thought it'd be Jen Lindley who would go on to have the most successful acting career of the main young actors. Not that Katie Holmes, Josh Jackson, James Van Der Beek, Busy Phillips, Kerr Smith and Meredith Monroe haven't carved out solid careers in their own right.

Survivor?
I'm glad I was behind and fast forward the first 15 minutes through all the family meet and greet
Smart play on Jeremy..I think he was going home. I actually thought Kim was after she played it for Denise.
and it's about time they get rid of the other island..I don't think it would be fair for one of them to get thrown back in the game with still a chance to win..I mean twice should be enough for Tyson.
Also I'd love to see Rob still win it.
I'll watch the Challenge tonight

I always fast forward through the "It's time for some love" portion. Look, I'm sure it's emotional that you've been gone 30 days, you're starving, you're tired, you're stressed out etc. but calm down, no one needs to sob that much when your fiancee comes strolling down the beach. Maybe I'm dead inside but I just don't care. Get on with the game.
The Challenge was.... well.... disappointing

I agree, I must be dead too because I always find is awkward.
yea, my jaw dropped just like everybody else. That sucked, but he needs to lose about 30lbs and get in shape. He'll be 40 in a few months..he's not 25 anymore. Still pulling for Banana/Wes

I knew CT would lose because of the editing. All the people saying he's a legend, he'd win etc etc. The foreshadowing was too obvious.
And yeah, CT is strong as heck but he has been way out of shape in recent seasons. Say what you will about Jay but that guy has big time cardio and anyone who can survive on Survivor definitely has the mental fortitude for challenges.

Post by doakley8 on Apr 17, 2020 14:20:02 GMT -5
I'm confused on the rules, CT had the door open enough where he could slide in and go in, But he kept pulling on it to rip the chains. Maybe the door had to be all the way open. Because I yelled out "GO!" when there was plenty of room for him to squeeze in.
But Jay was just as surprised as anyone, as when he pulled the door it almost hit him in the face because he had no idea he just broke it free.
Fessy is a sleeper too...he's surprisingly (even though he played football) a good runner..he's up there with Jordan..so he should be a target soon
and Dee...is not attractive to me..I'd actually like to see her take a break and not be on there

Post by eddieeddie on Apr 17, 2020 14:56:36 GMT -5
I think CT could have gone in but was so gassed he didn't know what he was doing. He spent way too much on some thin lousy chain at the end, that he could have just snapped himself or throwing a cinder block at it. I'll miss CT but he isn't as fun (i.e. crazy) as he used to be, so his absence won't be felt as much.
Fessy is basically a young CT minus the rage. Guy looks like a beast physically and seems to be playing an under the radar social game.
I'm not into Dee (too basic) nor was I into the Asian girl (too much effort and plastic looking) that Rogan was flirting with and I certainly wasn't into Ninja. Maybe because I'm half Asian and I married an Asian, I tend to be more of the "grass is greener on the other side" so I'm all about the attractive white girls. Granted not much going there this season. I'm not really into any of the girls this season to be honest. Jenna was hotter in the past but she's lost some shine. I'm not a big tattoo person so that rules out Kailah for me but admittedly her face is attractive. Heck no to Ashley or Jenni or Mattie. Not into Big T. I've seen too much of Nani and Tori and their personalities kill it for me. Honestly the best one might be Melissa and even then I'm like eh. Should have brought back Natalie from Big Brother.

I really like Tori. She's passed Jenna for me. No luck with Natalie..she's swung the other way and I believe been in relationship with a chick for a while. But I follow her on IG and she's lost weight and is all about eating healthy etc. But i think I liked her better on Big Brother. Ashley is annoying, no ways as good as she thinks he is.
In the end..i just hope Wes or Bananas don't turn on each other. I would however like to see Nelson go..hes not nearly as good as he thinks either.

my sister is all the time telling me Netflix and hulu Documentaries she watched. Was over there Saturday and she said, "you gotta watch How to fix a drug scandal" I was like yea Vars told me about that. She basically tried to end up spoiling it since I don't have Netflix..but once few more shows have there finales I'll sign up for the 1 free month and check that and Tiger King, and I want to see Trials of Garbiel Fernandez

For Netflix, while everyone is watching (or has watched) Ozark or Stranger Things or Peaky Blinders or The Witcher or Narcos or Bird Box or Tiger King....
I'm watching stuff liked Nailed It, Sense8, The OA, V Wars, The Rain, Safe, Secret City, Messiah
After watching that horrid show The I-Land, maybe it's time I started watching the "trending" shows

I watched Messiah in 1 day. Interesting but I'm more interested in seeing how the next season goes.
My GF is all caught up on Ozark. I said I was going to start watching it but just can't find myself sitting down for it yet.

Unfortunately Messiah got cancelled. So that cliffhanger at the end of season 1 will go unresolved.
