So what youre saying is TEW is realistic

Also Xenoblade. I controlled Fiona in battle and had bought all the best stuff possible for her because she was my favorite to play as. Just kind of killed my motivation at a time when I had a lot of things to play.

To defend my positivety for a moment, I am watching this season with someone who hasn't watched modern survivor and he is enjoying the hell out of it. We text the entire episode. And I think that makes me enjoy every little moment more.

Honestly, you guys should try it some time it us a lot of fun.

I'm doing that with my wife. She is enjoying the season overall but hated all the "navity strong" stuff with them usually teaming up against original malolo

So you are worried that the people who don't like Alexa Bliss might make up things up about her because they don't like her?

Good thing you know to find good sources before believing what people say about her. Not just thinking it is confirmed because people who don't like her say it.

So I talked with a coworker today who is of the Trump is playing 4D chess mentality. I know people here actually go to the places that talk about this so I was curious if her beliefs were common.

She says that Trump is intentionally hiring bad and corrupt people for his staff and cabinet so that they will be outed as bad/corrupt due to the increased spotlight and therefore be kicked out of politics or whatever they were doing before he hired them.

Basically that he is draining the swamp by hiring the swamp.

Did your place of work hire your coworker so they would be outed as bad/stupid due to increased spotlight and therefore be kicked out of whatever your field of work is

I live in Georgia.

I'm an accountant and I basically try not to question people's beliefs down here. She did indicate she was also a big fan of Ford and Nixon for whatever that's worth.

I was a big fan of Konnan back in WCW when he was basically just a midcarder. All my wrestling friends thought it was such a weird and random favorite.

Hey Lopen, back when you were doing your Rumble watchthrough I talked to you about how you should get a CHIKARAtopia trial and watch their Infinite gauntlet matches because I think you would enjoy how them (especially the first couple). Well now there is an extra reason for you to do so. This years Infinite Guantlet on May 5th will include...Glacier.

Yes I am using Glacier as an excuse to try and get more people to watch CHIKARA.

I too was surprised by the winners, though it makes sense from a tecnico/rudo perspective

I see your theory on the new boss of the Closers, but does it really make sense for him to pay them to win a match theyd have to wrestle anyway? Im thinking something longer term behind their employer.

It would be less about this match and more that Bryce has been catching up to his tactics the last couple defenses so he needs new back up to ensure he wins.

Watched Tag World Grant Prix and want to talk a bit of CHIKARA in case anyone (jakyl) is paying attention to it.

-Whisper gave Snow Troll to the creepy mad scientist guy for experimentation. It will really be interesting to see where that goes. Giant muscular Snow Troll like the other Proteus Wheel guys? Nice to see something happen with Snow troll after all this time.

-Oceanea is continuting to transform and get creepier looking. Makes me wonder how far it will go.

-Really curious how Fire Ant will react to the latest development with the new ants. He already attacked them for being a new colony but what about now that Worker Ant has returned to mentor them. This gives them some legitimacy for being the new colony and Fire Ant has teamed with Worker Ant longer than anyone. Will he turn on him now?

-In the middle of the tournament we see the creation of a brand new potentially awesome tag team in Boar and Oleg. Being brought together cause they are sick of smaller guys using numbers and cheating to beat them. Should be a really good hoss team.

-I have never really liked the Rumblebees as a team or cared for Solo and/or Travis, but the storyline with Travis threatening to break up the team if they don't win and the video they made of Solo talking about how much she wants them to stay together made me feel bad for Solo and support her efforts to save the team. Good storyline to make me care about something I normally wouldn't care about.

Now to talk about the actual results. Was honestly really surprised with eh winner. Winning tings multiple times is so unusual in CHIKARA that I never expected Throwbacks to go back to back. Especially with the injury angle to Touchdown and the build up with Oceanea/Merlok. It seemed like they had given Throwbacks an out to lose without hurting them at all. Instead they look better than ever. They had the hardest qualifier, the hardest path in the tourney, and a seriously injured Touchdown in the finals. The fact that they are having them challenge The Closers makes so soon makes me think they will have Touchdown still hurt to help make it a tougher fight.

More importantly the current Dasher storyline combined with Closers saying they have a new boss in the most recent blog leads me to this prediction. Juan Fransisco is now the Closers boss and will screw over the Throwbacks. Leading to more mocking about how Dasher can't win the big one.

Overall it was a really good show. Looking forward to Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes as that seems like it will have some great matches.
