Cirie gets her way at tribal.

Last week, Coach tells people how to vote and he becomes a target.

This week, people were overjoyed when Cirie comes back before TC to tell them how to vote. It was pathetic to hear Joe say he was going to vote for Devens but thankfully Cirie straightened him out. He doesn’t deserve to win with that attitude.

I did not vote for all of the “twists” but damn what an episode!!

I couldn’t believe that he and Aubry weren’t out idol hunting after the challenge. I assumed he and Christian planted the fake idol to make a fool out of someone but I guess their plan was to use it themselves at some point in the future.

re: IT Band Issues

I had IT band issues on my right knee and the pain was bad. I eventually got better by not running for two months, maybe more, while doing the exercises and stretches that were mentioned earlier. Fast forward about 6 months and I had the same issue, not as bad, with the other knee. I hardly focused on my “good leg” when I had my first issue. What a dumbass!

My last race was in early January and I was finally ready to try out the knees a couple of weekends ago and did 10K with no issues. Now I have to build the distance back up.
Harry Elkins Widener also died on the Titanic. He was a 1907 Harvard graduate. His mother donated $2 million and Harry’s collection of 3,300 books to build the Widener Library on campus. They recreated his library/reading room with period furnishings, etc and they have a display of memorabilia related to the Titanic. It was pretty cool to see it in person.

They check your ID on the way in to verify you belong there and search your backpack on the way out.

Is “my mother’s cat” a clever euphemism for something?

They were saving up for a Carnival cruise but are now banned and have to spend that money somewhere.

As a kid it was very suspenseful waiting to see if the car would start at the end of the show

I loved that show! 28 minutes of “who cares?” but then 1 glorious minute (and a few commercials) where a person picked 1 of 5 or 6 cars to see if the keys worked. If the engine didn’t turn over, that car was eliminated if the same contestant won again.

They could not pull that game off today. Players wouldn’t know how to use a physical key in a car and would want a fob or an app.
While I was getting a colonoscopy, I was aware enough to remember the doctor and one of the nurses talking about trying a new restaurant. I guess the lady in charge of dispensing the Michael Jackson sleep medicine noticed and topped me off.

I don’t remember a bright light or seeing any relatives who have had colonoscopies in the past, though.

They’re edited

When Larry Leo started posting her pics a few years ago, her photos were not edited as heavily. Pale skin, veiny boobs, a little belly fat, bad makeup, etc. She obviously hired a team and it’s paid off for her but she’s still the same under all that spray tan and filters.
The Canadian did the math and realized the cutting edge medical exam he’d get at splashdown would only require getting an advanced degree in aeronautics, a long military stint, and astronaut training. The waiting list to see a primary care physician in Canada would have been twice as long.

If Cirie wins this season

She’s in one of the more stable alliances with Rizo and Steph, although Steph is bottom of the totem pole. Ozzie too. Anyone aligned with Emily or loose cannon Coach are at risk of a flip. Most players align with Cirie but, love him or hate him, Rizo got Cirie to align with him.

Sucks my girl Dee is gone

She’ll get to march out with the jury every TC from now on, so there’s that. She wasn’t able to bamboozle some guy this season and her #1 devolved into Tiff. Good luck with that.

I work in the McKinney/Friso area with HOA's and drive these neighborhoods every day.

From what I’ve observed, McKinney has impacted a lot less than Frisco, Plano, and Prosper. My theory is because McKinney schools are ranked slightly lower than schools in those other ISDs.

The H1B situation is ridiculous. The jobs filled by H1B folks are not advertised like normal job openings. Everyone buys into the story that AI is taking people’s jobs away but I don’t believe it. Software development/coding is one of the things AI can do well. Domestic developers are laid off and people shrug and blame AI but the company quietly hires H1B developers to fill the empty positions. Why aren’t H1B coders hurt by AI?

Same thing with customer assistance/call reps. AI is supposedly taking over that area, too, but why do I almost always get an Indian when I call tech support?

Listening Jeff talk about the applebees food is so creepy and uncomfortable

Last night, when he said they were going to The Sanctuary, he forgot to say “where good things happen.”

I hated to see Colby go but he was not really able to play anymore. He had a great exit speech
quote:

I’m wondering why they didn’t go for Coach

Maybe they thought Colby was the bigger threat to organize and maintain an alliance. Coach doesn’t have the same level of social game and can get emotional. Lots of players would love to work with Colby.

I think it’s interesting how Dee and Cirie are working together now. Dee talked about a friend who warned her to get Cirie out asap but here we are. I think they’re working towards a showdown between the two.

re: Any AT Hikers this year?

Posted by BobABooey on 4/1/26 at 2:53 pm to
I’m doing my annual vicarious hike through YouTubers.

The only one I watch consistently this year has been Coats Adventures. They’re a married couple early 40’s who live in Louisiana. The husband is from LA but I can’t detect any kind of accent I recognize. The problem with the Coats is I like watching hikers who face challenges and they are very seasoned hikers so no hurdles yet.

Savannah shared the story of Rizo’s season/idol play with her S50 tribe. Put him in a tough spot.
