Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-28-10, 10:51 AM (EST) "Total Drama World Tour." And this time, the action starts in the States before Canada gets all the spoilers -- marking the first season where we all have to guess together, starting in June. This season's cast: Returning Owen (winner: Season #1): Exactly when are people going to stop underestimating this guy? He's ridden 'dumb, funny, and mostly harmless unless you're standing directly behind him' all the way to the end in one game and way too deep into the second. If he was doing this on purpose, he'd be Sandra in a maple-leaf T-shirt. But no -- he's just happily blundering through life, heading in the rough direction of the buffet table. Can we get an early vote, please? Izzy: It can't be a World Tour unless you have someone ready to create an international incident on every continent, and Izzy could get penguins to surrender. Someone has to bring The Crazy, and as usual, Izzy brought enough for everybody -- plus up to three extra aliases. Her insanity makes her the ultimate wild card in any challenge, vote, or attempt to get out of the country before the authorities catch up. It just doesn't make her a potential winner -- unless she gets even better at twisting the rulebook. Duncan (winner: Season #2): I think he's on track for an early exit. He and Courtney are a known pair, he's a challenge threat who's proven why you have to get rid of him early via million-dollar check -- I say the cast strikes to break up the obvious duos as soon as possible, and they get rid of the biggest hazard first. Courtney: So how does the control freak do in cultures she has no control over? Unless she's found another lawsuit to bring (and good luck with that), she's back on the same footing as every other player: shaky, windswept, and right next to the parachute deck. If I have Duncan out early because he's too much of a danger for a long-term run, Courtney has to follow soon after on sheer annoyance: she won't adjust well to life without power. But until then, she could latch onto any alliance -- as long as she thinks she's running it. Bridgette: Cut off from Geoff, which can only be a good thing for her game (it got her out first last time around), and heading to a lot of places with water, which can only help her ability to remain standing at nearly all times. But we haven't seen much of her as a player: she's almost always been secondary in someone else's plans or playing the role of background material. Potential game element here just because we don't really know how she plays it when isolated. Gwen: Brings up the question of cast forgiveness: not only do they know she's a risk to go deep, but there are probably still people annoyed at her after that cross-team dealing in Season #2 -- and it's not as if she didn't already have her share of enemies in the group. (This may include the host, but that's more of a universal status.) Needs to start scheming early and move the bullseye to someone else's back. Cody: Well, he tries. He tries hard. He tries so hard that you want to lock him in a cage to keep him from trying again. Hyper-earnest, looking for love in all the wrong places (Earth), and possibly destined to continue his role as Nature's Greatest Punching Bag: it's only a flesh wound, because all it did was remove most of his flesh! But he could still see midgame -- or even go deeper as long as his blood supply holds out. In fact, he has the potential to hit F4. Remember this: people overlook Cody. He's not seen as a threat, and he only left the first time around on a mercy vote. As long as he doesn't sink his team in challenges, he could sail under the radar for a very long time. If he gets an ally... Harold: You have to wonder what surprise skills he'll bring to this season's travels: I've already got him down for hieroglyph interpretation through dance. His pairing with LeShawna could put him in some degree of trouble if the break-the-couples streak carries the day, but she easily could go before he does. While he can be a shocking challenge threat (and unshocking anchor dragging his team down to drown) and he's cheated the vote once before (literally), he has one giant hole in his game. Namely, he has no game. None. The only way he can manipulate a vote is by pulling all existing ballots out and replacing them with forgeries. (And you wondered why Season #2 went digital.) He'll last as long as his team can afford to carry him, and the annoyance factor could cut that very short. Noah: As much fun as it would be to see him go out early again, thrown out of the plane without a parachute and trusting in his inflated ego to bounce him home, he has an advantage here. Noah's the best-read of the group, and in a season based on travel, he may be his team's best hope in cultural challenges -- assuming he can be bothered to share out his precious information. If he has the people-reading skills of a VH1 casting director, he'll tone down the know-it-all and become the greatest intellectual asset his team could ever ask for. If he simply remains Noah as we know him, g'bye. Lindsay: More than anything else, needs someone to save her from herself. If she can be kept from making idiotic mistakes, contributes once in a while without being too bossy about it, doesn't let any power go to her head, and plays her authentic gold-plated I Am Not Intelligent Enough To Be Anything Other Than Totally Harmless card as if it comprises just about her entire deck, she could stick around for a while. And besides, her language skills could save the day: she speaks English and American! Good for a laugh as she misidentifies everything she doesn't know and most of the people she's been with for several months, useful as a vote, and distracted by intruding breezes. Almost guaranteed to reach the middle of the pack unless she does something really dumb -- but would arguably be the biggest shock as a winner. DJ: I'll keep this one short: Whimpering 'Round The World. Unless the muscles can be made to do something and the body stops cowering against the nearest convenient corner, then the rest of the cast has probably learned their lesson by now. He's not a challenge asset, he's not going to give you the help you need at crucial moments, and he doesn't have enough lying skills to fool a chipped pebble. Should be out early -- I hope. Heather: May spend her entire tour tied to the landing gear. Can't be trusted, any reform will be trusted about as much as if it came from RussHell, and if Izzy isn't parking a tomato on the queen's face, Heather is insulting the gown, decor, local customs, language, air quality, and possibly individual molecules, by name. Almost has to be the target for the first vote -- so won't be. Like RussHell, she can't go too early -- and somehow never does. LeShawna: Three decent runs in a row? Her pairing with Harold is a threat, the truce with Heather may last as long as five seconds unless a stiff wind comes up, and street-smart doesn't always translate to worldwise. It feels as if she could go far because so far, she always has -- but any streak comes to an end on one exception and at this point, everyone knows she's a danger. Needs allies (which she generally finds) and moderation (which she's never heard of). Ezekiel: Who knows? He's a returning prior first boot. Said some sexist things -- a lot of sexist things -- nothing but sexist things -- and got tossed just to keep the rest of his team from killing him. A naive home-school product with very little connection to anything: try to figure out how that's going to play in a return trip. He was starting to come out of his shell and learn all about the art of shutting up during his downtime in Sequesterville, but that doesn't mean he figured out how to play... A pure mystery element. Tyler: I look forward to finding out just how many countries he can get himself hospitalized in. (At least Lindsay will be happy to see him, if she can remember who he is.) The anti-challenge threat: want to throw a game while looking like you made an effort? Call Tyler, because he can lose anything! Because he costs teams victories at a rate comparable to Oliver Perez, he shouldn't stay long unless sit-out rules crop up or his group can somehow figure out how to minimize the damage. Could get a preemptive mercy vote. And given all that, probably gets to the F4. New Alejandro: Is being painted as a combination of RussHell and Dr. Will, with a little bit of Justin thrown in and a whole lot of annoyance. Definitely being promoted as the villain of the season (as if the first sentence wasn't a clue there) and thus has to last a while just to make the trailers work out. Sierra: Supposedly a major fangirl of the first two seasons who's living out her dream. She may have a crush on one of the returning males and if so, expect a quick alliance. The Course The first three stops are confirmed as Japan, the Yukon, and Manhattan. Egypt looks to show up eventually. Host Chris: Is a jerk. Hey, it's no more scripted than Celebrity Apprentice.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-10-10, 01:06 PM (EST) 1. "Promo flyer." http://www.cakeentertainment.com/flips/tdwt/index.html Note that this takes a few people out of the initial elimination pool by showing them in future tasks -- we now know Gwen, Cody, Heather, Courtney, and Sierra all make it to Manhattan. We also may have a team name. ('Amazon'? Not 'Screaming Biplanes?')   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-15-10, 10:05 AM (EST) 2. "Teams." Curiously enough, we have three -- and a single-elimination format. (This time around, it's called the Barf Bag Ceremony. (No comment.)) So first place probably gets a prize, second place is safe, and third place meets up with Chris at the back of the plane, where someone will eventually try to push him out. Here's the teams as the spoilers have them. Note Duncan's non-placement -- either the sources have no idea where he's supposed to go, or something happened early. Team Amazon Cody Courtney Gwen Heather Izzy Ow... This is not a good combination of personalities when it comes to long-term group survival, and putting together an alliance of more than two in an assembly with a known wild card, two arch-rivals, a alpha female, and The Codster is going to be a week-to-week trick. You have to assume the show put this quintet together: there's no possible way any single member would playground-pick the rest. (Well, maybe Cody trying to surround himself with hotness.) There is enough challenge power to last a while, especially if Courtney and Gwen can work together while mutually holding Izzy's leash -- but eliminations will be ugly. Team Victory DJ Lindsay LeShawna Bridgette Harold Ezekiel Numerical balance? What's that? (And it was a pool of seventeen anyway.) Weird mix of skills in this group, and with the exception of LeShawna, they wound up with mostly passive personalities. They might get along well enough for the most part once you get past Harold's quirks and Ezekiel's mouth, but this doesn't strike me as a dominant force. Also note that we have Harold and LeShawna on the same team: that's just going to enhance the need to break them up quickly. I think they could go to elimination early and often -- while Harold can potentially pull out any talent, they're otherwise weak for the weird stuff, and DJ tends to undercompensate on anything standard-issue physical. Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot (I didn't name it, okay?) Alejandro Noah Owen Sierra Tyler Hard to call. Having both newcomers in the same group might give them a little ability to protect each other (if they're so inclined), and it keeps them from being automatic first boots at a one-per-team ratio. We don't know what Alejandro or Sierra can do yet when it comes to challenges: he's visibly fit and she's tall, but that could just mean Osten & Crystal: The Animated Editions. Having forty percent of the team as question marks pretty much destroys the easy read. Noah can bring the book smarts (but not the street), we know what Owen is at this point, and Tyler might, if fully assisted, walk a full ten feet without hurting himself -- but without a grasp on the talents of the others, we're stuck playing wait-and-see for challenges. But what I don't see here is a natural leader in the known trio -- potentially leaving the slot open for the show-titled mastermind.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-22-10, 07:13 AM (EST) 3. "Premiere." Okay, so it's Egypt first. Stoopid spoilers... but at least they got the teams right. Random notes: This season was originally designated in the spoilers as Total Drama Musical: as-is, we've got an unholy menage-a-trois between Survivor, TAR, and a poor little underage Glee that just wandered by the alley at the wrong time. Poor Duncan... I'm not surprised by his quitting, especially given that he's already won a season and can't like his odds of getting to the repeat while being forced to harmonize all the way. I am surprised by how much he appeared in the preview footage... something's up there. Maybe Chris tells him there's no ride home and he'll have to mascot it out for five continents. And of course they can't all sing. If they could, Chris wouldn't want them to. (Courtney, however, will probably try to turn her entire stay into an extended professional audition. Has she annoyed you yet?) ----------------------------------------------------------------- If we had our own forum for this series, the next great empty set thread would be Things Tyler Could Do Without Hurting Himself. And it might stay empty for a long, long time. How on Earth did the bear not maul him back in Season One? The man attracts injury like Boo, track suits like Sue Sylvester, and misplaced self-confidence like just about everyone on every reality series, ever. Alejandro's one hint at the villain edit can be totally forgiven: if you'd just found out you had Tyler on your team, wouldn't you step into the confessional to curse for six hours? Okay, maybe eight. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sierra is scary. The broken-jack-in-the-box music which plays during her scene is a perfect (and disturbing) choice: while Izzy's insanity manifests as a rollercoaster ride which at least makes sure you have some fun along with the chance of death, Sierra's is just disturbing. Cody should have been more careful about what he wished for: 'a girl who's utterly devoted to me' was #1 on his list, and he just got it. In spades. Which will be used to bash him over the head before he gets carried off to a life of boy-toy slavery. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Speaking of Cody, note that he went right back to his old crush. Trent's out of the immediate picture, so in his eyes, Gwen's available again. So Sierra is chasing Cody, who is chasing Gwen, who is looking for a place to hide... ----------------------------------------------------------------- And you thought Big Brother had horrible accommodations for the losers? At least hamsters don't have to worry about falling six miles out of the sky... (The plane is likely safer than it looks, at least for staying up: Chris cares too much about himself to go up in something that risks his own life -- but the contestant areas will not have been repaired. Mind the holes, especially the new ones that keep opening.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, for those of you who are new here: Chris generally only cares about contestant safety if there's a lawyer within two feet. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure what to make of the previews yet. This would usually call for a slow-motion breakdown, but good luck IDing backgrounds on this series. Right now, my main concern beyond Duncan's odd number of continuing appearances is 'Are we picking up someone along the way?' Because Owen's forecast crush was not on that plane when it took off. Next week should see an elimination. Peanuts, anyone?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

No, not getting a perfect vote from the jury followed by being selected as Canada's favorite: we're talking about Heather. At some point, she'll wind up losing a tooth.

She was finally in audio range while Heather was calling her Lindsiot? (Minimum delay of twenty seconds while someone explained to her what it was supposed to mean.) But the issue there is that we've seen Lindsay get angry and she doesn't go physical: she goes verbal. Multiply-bleeped verbal for about two minutes without a breath. It's hard to picture her ever hitting someone. In her way, she's just too nice a person to seriously consider the option.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

vince3 17341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-28-10, 00:12 AM (EST) 9. "RE: Minor injury spoiler." Well, it wouldn't be a Total Drama season without something dramatic happening to Heather's body....   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-29-10, 08:02 AM (EST) 10. "Episode #2." Ezekiel may be the new James of reality television: in spite of his personal opinion and that of the casting people, he's just no good at this sort of thing. At least this one never had the incomprehensible affections of the host... or two immunity tiles to waste. So long, homeschool -- again. And just for bonus points, again. ----------------------------------------------------------------- And here I always thought Chris was exaggerating the sheer number of interns killed during the first season -- and I kept right on thinking that until we finally saw the first one die in front of our eyes here. (Must be a really interesting contract.) Of course, it's sort of remotely possible that they swapped in a prop skeleton while we weren't looking, but... Which makes it really hard to give him any credit for challenge design, but the first through last place reward items made sense after all: it's a lot easier to carry a stick through the desert than encouraging a goat along, and herding the goat is simpler than getting a camel to cooperate. (Anything is easier than getting a camel to cooperate.) So Team Victory did have the edge all along -- if they just had the brains to use it. Of course, they also had Ezekiel, so call it a no-score loss. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Sierra-Izzy switch... sorry, Heather, but that's not basket case for basket weaver: it's a straight trade of basket cases: you just haven't gotten to see the full weave on the newer one. Besides, it's not you Sierra's stalking (other than in the 'I have a blog about you too' way), so you should be relatively safe. (Unless Sierra decides you're after her Cody, and then the extensions are going to fly.) For Team Amazon, this is trading the devil they know for the one they don't, and they may miss the familiar insanity a lot sooner than they thought. Secondary note: this puts another known couple together on the same team, although any chance of having Owen control Izzy's vote died from laughing at itself. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, and as long as we're on Heather's favorite subject (Heather), throw this in: the problem with having her as the one who's seeing through Alejandro's 'I am so fair, I stupidly gave up first place' disguise is that we'd be looking at a warning from The Beyotch Who Read Diary. Would you believe any alarm she sounded? Would anyone? Sierra's mistrust is based in Alejandro's lack of current fame: that'll be ignored. Heather's is like calling to like -- and that'll just be dismissed. ----------------------------------------------------------------- We may be getting another NEL attempt somewhere down the road: the effective double-elimination messed up the show's schedule. (Thanks, Zeke!) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Scarabs get busy now. Next stop: Japan.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-29-10, 08:46 AM (EST) 11. "Wikipedia thinks..." The cast list page has elimination orders for the prior two seasons at the bottom -- along with one for the current edition. While only the first two actual boots are numbered, the rest of it is interesting because the next few follow the spoilers we have and further ordering seems consistent with rumors and spotted travel sequences. Approach at your own risk. It's at just about the absolute bottom of the page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Total_Drama_series_characters Weird choice of winner, though.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-06-10, 08:11 AM (EST) 12. "Japan." LAST EDITED ON 07-11-10 AT 11:45 AM (EST) Why Harold? It felt as if Alejandro was doing a warm-up exercise. Get the kinks out of his manipulation muscles, a few light reps with someone else's minds, and wipe the bench free of anyone who happened to be sitting on it. In this case, that was Harold. And it's not as if that was heavy lifting. Harold's very easy to manipulate: just make him believe you like him and the battle's just about over before the samurai finishes getting into his armor. But making him the primary target on Victory... ...well, there are ways where it makes sense. For most intents and challenge purposes, DJ does far more harm than good. Lindsay's odd moments of helpfulness can't be timed out -- or counted on at all. Bridgette and LaShawna -- each has their weaknesses. Get rid of Harold and you're removing the biggest challenge wild card from the deck along with most of Victory's potential cultural knowledge. (How many summer camps can one teen attend? Only Harold knows for sure.) It also breaks up one of the known pairs, leaving LaShawna isolated. And I think Alejandro may be a little like RussHell in that he wants to surround himself with women, right up until the point when one of them expresses an opinion he didn't have first. That adds credibility to the spoilers which have LaShawna going next -- not only is her voting block broken, but she can't keep quiet. Listen for the footsteps... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Great Moments In Reality Show Comedy: the commercials (which are honestly too close for anyone's comfort), Chris announcing the reason for the voice dubbing, and Alejandro making the rookie mistake of eating (of his own free will) anything Chef makes. Especially that middle one. For some reason, I think something may have happened there: it felt like listening to someone private joke. (Wonder how the show's doing in Japan.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- How many countries will it take for DJ to land on the World Wildlife Fund's Ten Most Wanted list? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Gum. In. Ear. Well, at least Sierra's a narrow-range crazy. It's intense, focused, and laser-prone to burn through anything in its way, but it has a single target: Cody. Is there anything she wouldn't do for him? It's hard to believe a girl who voluntarily inhales shoelaces would set herself too many limits. Vote with him? Absolutely. Go out instead of him? You bet! Take his virginity? Consider our network. But 'Go out instead of him' has got to be on the list -- and if Cody figures that out... But Cody's not a manipulator. He'd love to be -- but he can't pull it off. On the other hand, Sierra might just volunteer. ----------------------------------------------------------------- And to the very short list of correct predictions I've ever made, add this one: 'Team Amazon is not going to work well together.' The personality clash has arrived, and it's blown a hole in their dynamics too large for Owen's rear to plug. Cody and Sierra could wind up running this group just through continuing this episode's inadvertent strategy: wait for the screaming to start, then walk off and do whatever the others were screaming about. The Gwen-Heather-Courtney verbal fencing match has just begun to draw blood, and no one's ever going to call touch. ----------------------------------------------------------------- If one of Alejandro's goals is to destroy known pairs, this stop should have given him a giant flashing warning sign floating over Izzy's head. She may be unpredictable, uncontrollable, and unable to pass through customs, but she is (at least for this moment) devoted to Owen. Which gives him a voting dilemma for Team Chris4's potential first loss: do you get rid of Tyler as the challenge drag, Noah as the personality black hole, or kill the couple? Not the easiest call. But it might be fun to see Alejandro going after Izzy via his usual seduction technique -- if only to watch his face if she said 'You might be cute if you just gained a hundred and ten pounds.' ---------------------------------------------------------------- At the current rate of peril, our next musical number will be performed while the contestants are being eaten by piranhas. ---------------------------------------------------------------- And remember, kids: never storm out of the room together. It totally defeats the purpose!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-11-10, 11:47 AM (EST) 13. "Commercial spoiler for next ouster?" A preview for Monday's episode has Chris, DJ. Lindsay, and LeShawna looking out the airplane's exit while Chris says 'Well, that was unexpected.' Bridgette is very absent -- which gives that particular order theory a major piece of backing.

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-13-10, 07:06 AM (EST) 14. "The Yukon." Well, that settles it: at least for now, Alejandro is just playing around. It's the manipulation warmup workout: no real heavy lifting required. Hang around the back of the pack and pick off the weak, injured, and vulnerable, not to mention the hormone-fogged. He hasn't had to make anything approaching an effort yet. (Okay, so he had to indulge in some pretty precise geometry to get Bridgette lined up properly. That hardly counts.) And at some point, he's going to use a method of disposal which lets the victim report him to the others -- which may not even matter, given the group's record with Heather. But right now, he's playing as if there is not, has never been, and will never be anything resembling a jury -- and we know the ousted have gotten someone out once before this. (And early in the episode, I thought his plan was to have Bridgette as the first to touch Victory's sled, then have her tripping all over her landlocked feet. Go figure.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay can do a seal bark. Who knew? ----------------------------------------------------------------- And thus did Bridgette learn an important lesson about teenage fidelity. (At least it wasn't a horror movie.) The question now becomes 'Does she still have a boyfriend?' No one said Geoff was that easygoing. But any way you look at it, the show just lost a major talent. Seriously. You try singing with your tongue frozen to a pole. (By the way, how cold is the interior of that plane?) Y'know, she has a surprisingly long tongue. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dead intern count: three. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Most surprising part of the episode: Noah Tyler made a contribution to a majorly physical competition. And lived. Admittedly, not by much -- he's as dedicated to self-injury as DJ unwittingly is to wildlife abuse -- but he played his part for the team and didn't drag them into the abyss. (That last currently appears to be Owen's job.) Some spoiler theories have him going on a major story arc this season: we may have finally seen the launch. Of course, this is still Noah Tyler we're talking about, so it's a ballistic arc. And it ends with him crashing into something... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy plus radioactives. That can't be good. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Raise your hand if you think Chris actually bothered ordering winter gear for the contestants (as opposed to, say, pocketing the cash). *counts* Rookies. ----------------------------------------------------------------- So it's official: DJ has been wrapped in the warm arms of The Osten Fallacy. 'The strong must be protected. Eventually, their strength has to be good for something!' Yes, he was nearly out before Harold took his Honor Jump -- but to let him stay after this latest blunder? Bridgette can do more with a pole stuck to her tongue than DJ can when fully healed, happy, and within ten feet of his Momma. As demonstrated. ('All contestants must sing in each show, unless Chris happens to find one person's distress more amusing than anyone else's.' Good to know.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cody? Lie back and think of England.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LAST EDITED ON 07-20-10 AT 12:57 PM (EST) And the prizefight of the season finally kicks into full gear: Alejandro vs. Heather. It is on. It is so on. If it was any more on, Heather would never get out of the bathroom. (Interpret that however you want to.) In the interests of fairness and helping the NYPD, I do have to note that the Heather-assisted defeat of Team Chris4 meant committing a pretty major felony -- but Heather's a teenager, a Canadian citizen, did it while participating in a reality showm and the baby was promptly returned. I'm pretty sure she won't get more than two years. Wait -- Bloomberg. Make that two hundred years. Izzy can always give her hints about living on the run. Some of them may even be survivable. But it still shows Alejandro can be potentially taken down by someone as sneaky as he is -- if Heather can avoid two things: letting her temper get the best of her and the kind attentions of her own team. Both were a problem last night. Amazon's desire to get rid of her isn't going to go away any time soon, and Heather doesn't know how to Play Well With Others for any period lasting longer than one challenge. Sometimes not even then. (Panties On The Rock(s), anyone?) As for her temper -- well, by now, everyone knows that if Chris gives you a weird item in the Reward phase, you're probably going to need it for Invincibility. Except Heather, because while that knowledge may be at the back of her brain, the joy of tossing the meat grinder out of the plane occupied the rest. Heather vs. Alejandro. At least they're not dating. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to our first Reward event, which I'm going to call Owen's Challenge Weaknesses On Parade! Alejandro is getting just a little bit fed up with his teammate, isn't he? And Owen hasn't noticed... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Worst song of the season so far. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Major Battlefield #2: Chris vs. Sierra. And Chris is going to win. He's the host: if he wants to really win, he will -- and the real question is whether Sierra will survive the experience. This episode taught us a lot about Sierra's limits. She's not that smart. What she knows comes down to rote memory: do something over and over until it's permanently engraved, then move on to the next set of repetitions. She knows to beware of Heather because she's watched all the episodes fifteen times. She doesn't know Alejandro at all, and that's why that little festival of humiliations and explosions. But with the others, Sierra knows everything embarrassing about everybody. Chris has a whole lot of 'embarrassing' in his past -- enough to get him truly angry for the first time ever. And Sierra doesn't know enough about reading emotional reactions to see the volcano beginning an eruption cycle before the lava comes out. Face it: if she had any real ability to get a read on people, would she still be after Cody? 'They're all my friends! They make me laugh for half an hour every week!' Except that one of those friends now wants her very dead, very out, or possibly both. Boy band... *snicker* A cooking show for white rice... *giggle* Wonder what Sierra has on Chef? ----------------------------------------------------------------- It's amazing how people can sneak into the closed-off parts of the park. (Happens all the time.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Running gags: Tyler gets hurt. (Faceplant into the pond.) Lindsay has no idea who Tyler is. (That shot in the opening credits gets funnier every week.) DJ gets attacked by the local wildlife. (Alligators! Turtles! Possibly New Yorkers!) Sierra happily engages in inappropriate behavior regarding Cody. (The best view in New York, huh?) ----------------------------------------------------------------- What on Earth does Heather use on her nails? Diamond dust? ----------------------------------------------------------------- "I was even going to call my first fan club "The Christians", but that name was already taken." The single funniest thing I've heard all year.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

(Don't ask me to explain the black bars.) http://totaldramaisland.wikia.com/wiki/File:TD4_NEW_characters.png Top row, left to right: Staci, Zoey, Molly, Anne Maria, Dakota, Mary Bottom row: Mike, Lightning, Scott, Cameron, Ron, Brick There's at least one more new contestant, but the pictures are apparently too blurry for general consumption: some people think he looks like The Last Surviving Intern. And since thirteen would still be a pretty small cast for this series, we can expect a few more. No word on returning players.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-27-10, 09:02 AM (EST) 17. "Germany, where the spoilers ran out (and Heather's tooth got knocked out)." Welcome to unknown territory. We knew LeShawna had a temper, we knew Heather was going to lose a tooth somewhere along the way, and we knew no one was going to listen to the Alejandro warnings from The Girl Who Read Diary: having all three of them come together in one abrupt beating was the element no one saw coming. You were expecting the show to have a no-contact rule and automatic ejection policy for anyone who broke it? It's still Chris hosting: manslaughter probably grants the person committing it automatic Invincibility, as long as the victim wasn't him -- but for all we know, he would have tossed LeShawna immediately after the vote regardless of results. Or thrown out two people. Or pointed her at Sierra and told her to go get his revenge. You just never know around here. You can definitely argue that Heather had it coming as a long-term cumulative payback for all her efforts across three seasons. But for the triggering incident taken as a single event, LeShawna lost it. Big time. And once Heather finishes suing her, she'll have lost everything else even Bigger Time. Heather has a legitimate case. There's a first time for everything. ----------------------------------------------------------------- So for the first time, Cody tries out a little tentative manipulation of Sierra. And probably not for the last time, it backfired spectacularly. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Speaking of Sierra... All right, so Chris has neither forgotten nor forgiven. Yes, it's amazing that the belt is still intact with all those notches in it. No, no one's sure Sierra's grandparents are German: they may have said that just to keep the authorities from looking for them. (Like grandparents, like granddaughter.) And you're right: the crazy just keeps escalating... Scary song. Scary meat sculpting. Scary girl. It's going to take more than a few bells. ----------------------------------------------------------------- So do we keep Elusive Victory (kudos to Chris on that one) together, or just divide the surviving two members between the other teams? To keep to the theme, Amazon would get Lindsay, and Chris4 should be happy to pick up DJ's theoretical capabilities. Then again, that would be Fair. And as we were recently reminded, this show -- and host -- doesn't do Fair. This may wind up being the TD version of Ulong: they merge when they hit one -- and not before. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay remembered Tyler! Lindsay remembered Tyler! The running joke is dead! The romance is back on! One of them is totally going next! ----------------------------------------------------------------- At this point in the season, just how badly does Alejandro want to get rid of Owen? Enough to throw a challenge in order to do it? His own team has now noticed him manipulating others (if not his taking credit for it on the way out -- he's a little too confident in No Returning Players), but they've been reaping the rewards of his efforts. He hasn't made his attacks internal yet, and when it does happen, everyone except Izzy may be happy to go along with the initial targeting. The boot after that is where things might get complicated. I don't think he's going to throw one just yet. I just think he has his target fixed for when an elimination loss finally happens. ----------------------------------------------------------------- As predicted, today's secondary lesson was Never Throw The Reward Away, Stupid. (Next on the list: Pack Warmer Clothing.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Duck!" "No, it's a goat!"   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-03-10, 03:27 PM (EST) 18. "Peru." Why is it that nearly every time the contestants finally conspire to get rid of Heather, the universe makes sure they can't? That has to count as one of the ugliest votes in series history. (#1: 'Stop saying LaShawna!') They went through all that only to find out nothing they'd done actually counted -- except the aftermath. Heather now knows they're after her. Which is something she pretty much knew anyway -- but while she's aware that people might be bold enough to attack her and occasionally tries to prevent it, the actual event is one of those things which doesn't sink it until it hits. Heather knows there's a conspiracy against her, that she can't count on Sierra as an alliance partner, and her time is running out. That's going to make her extra-nasty. The thought of what that means for her is a little disturbing. But that may not even be the worst of it. Sierra just saw Cody reject her: loudly, firmly, on camera, and with a stamp for adding emphasis. Not only that, she got to hear why -- and unbelievably, it sunk in. The next episode will tell the tale with Sierra -- and it might be a very ugly story, especially for Cody. What do crazy stalker girlfriends usually do when they finally realize they aren't wanted? Sharp edges are usually involved... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian X-ray glasses really work! (Remind me to be extra-careful around Canadians.) Between this and Money Hungry, it was Things You Can't Unsee Night. Brain bleach? Does not work. Ever. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I am now 100% certain of Owen being Alejandro's first target on Chris4. Owen may be starting to figure this out, and that's always a prospect which takes some major work to achieve. You practically have to bash him over the head with a baby carriage to get things into his skull. You also have to get him out of the country before the government goes after him for historic site destruction, but that just lets Alejandro kill him instead of the Archaeologist Firing Squad. He's never been this scared of a friend before. Here's hoping he remembers that. (Side note: Alejandro may accuse Chris of making up the rules (correctly), but that rule was already in place. Chris4 ran into this when Noah got left behind Central Park. Check your memory much, evil genius?) ----------------------------------------------------------------- So both major villains have visible injuries... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Team Victory wasn't dissolved? And they actually won one? Poor Lindsay: she may finally get to enjoy the comforts of first class, but she didn't get the satisfaction of seeing someone from another team go home. Nothing ever entirely works out for this pair -- or for any animals unlucky enough to be near them: DJ's streak continues. There are situations where being a two-person team works to their advantage, and this competition was one of them: less people to coordinate and keep together in the race through the jungle, no weakest link who has trouble keeping up. On multi-part tasks where five people have to do five things at the same time... Their streak may be over, but it's scheduled to resume shortly. Lindsay can only vote for DJ. DJ can only vote for Lindsay -- -- wait -- -- never mind. She's probably not going to make the same mistake twice. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Phil is so gonna sue. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Can we give Gwen an Epi-Pen injection in every episode? ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Even as a child I knew that someday a large group of people would worship me." Her parents have already tried to sign her on for next season.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
