To be fair I worked on the Hillary and Biden campaigns and I'm certain I'd probably do even worse than he did.

If it was like 2004 I feel like that would've been a purposeful casting choice. "Worked on Jeb! and Hillary's campaign? Put 'em on the same tribe"

Like when they thought it was comedy gold to put a gay person on the same tribe of a homophobe. Jeff was all, "Both sides, amirite?"

Which isn't a big surprise given that he's done videos with other men at his onlyfans. They weren't graphic though, so I thought it was just gaybait.

Hmm, a bisexual republican? How does this work?

Yeah, Ozzy is very much not a Republican. In interviews he pretty much uses 'republican' as a by-word for 'bad person'.

Yeah, you've misread that. He's not saying he's republican.

I'm gay, and sadly know a lot of gay republicans. They're all white. That said, they all distanced themselves from their party affiliation during the last administration, and I know a couple who officially withdrew their membership after the insurrection.

John Raymond, 60, was jailed Thursday in Slidell, Louisiana after he turned himself in, as authorities say he would put tape over his young students' mouths

Police in the town said they received a complaint from the state's department of family services of potential abusive behavior at Lakeside Christian School.

Raymond, the school's headmaster, is accused of taping three 13-year-old students' mouths shut to teach them a lesson.

Raymond was a contestant on the fifth season of Survivor, set in Thailand back in 2002. He was the first contestant voted off the island.

He also ran for a state representative position in Louisiana, proudly declaring himself on behalf of former President Donald Trump

Heyo it's time for an update!



Lotta movement this week! Studio was finally unseated by Stone Cold! I've trimmed away the bottom of the list only because some people have left booted spots in their active position. Drea was the big winner this week with the idol activation and the tribe win.

We'll see what happens in the mergatory!

And, be on the lookout, as the rosters are likely to unlock and you'll be able to redraft following next week's episode!

I like this season a lot more than 41 so far. They’re letting the characters stand on their own more, doing less ‘whole new era’ boosterism. Can’t wait to see how they blow it up with an hourglass this time.

Somehow the minor minor tweak of saying he’d have the power to change th game and you can switch with him made it work. People actually anticipated it and know they let it happen

Omar really impressed me with his hustle to save Jonathan, that's a true bro. He even got Hai Gang to flip on Lydia (RIP). I wish it was Tori, she's the worst but drat it was the one challenge that Jonathan couldn't just dominate.

I find Drea to be really impressive with her thought process, though you can really see her thinking on her face which may get her into trouble if she doesn't tone that down. Hell, she guessed the immunity switch before it even happened. People don't like strong thinkers.

They really made a mistake not taking the power, especially since only 1 of them would've had to give up the reward (I think? I initially thought the whole team had to trade the reward to get the power). 1 person missing out seems like a really good deal to secure "power to change the game."

Hey, declaring he would go to rocks for her saved her the first time!

Also that was a good episode. I don't know if Omar had magic virgin powers or something to turn it on Lydia that efficiently, but I think what it came down was that Jonathan was too good of a shield/social player, and the threat of Maryanne's idol meant they just went the safest route.

I usually hate the forced heartwarming stories, but rocksroy climbing the hill to look at the South Pacific because he might be going blind was really well done. Organic, authentic, completely unrelated to an attempt to gin up sympathy. Very preferable to the usual gauzy trauma olympics stuff.

Wish Maryanne had gone, glad my sweet boy Jonathan survived.

This episode, and season really, shows they should just let their cast stand on its own merit. It’s a good cast with interesting gameplay. They don’t need to be forced into contrived secret phrases and time travel. Then again, ‘gently caress you, it’s the same twist just with applebees’ is very funny.
