Adam's Saturday rating

[blindwilliedunn]

hey, dingo! Great job again on your annual Herculean (or would that be Zenobian? Boudican?) effort - I hope I speak for all your fans excited about the shout-outs you so richly deserve!

Having said that...

I have to navel-gaze a bit on your neutralization of Adam's rating due to his protracted quiet after winning Saturday's veto. I know you prioritize entertainment over gameplay, but I thought the fact that this guy didn't 'lord it over everyone' was nice strategy, keeping it on the downlow as he revs up to do some damage down the stretch. With his game knowledge and study habits, he looks like the only noob with a shot at winning this thing (Kalia, Porsche and now Shelly not looking likely to secure the votes. I'll cheer for Adam just so his "I f%$&ed up" monologue is preserved for posterity.)

Secondly, for a show that is primarily plot-point driven, I thought it was interesting that we had an actual 'whodunit?' suspense for a while, especially with all the false conclusions populating Twitter during that time.

off topic, but since I don't post that much anymore I'll leave this here: whole-heartedly agree with your attitude toward the retreads. Damn, this is Brendon's third chance in two seasons! Throw in Jessie and the rest over the last few years and it looks like TPTB are more intent than ever to turn this into a franchise of stock characters. Turning Jordan Lloyd into a millionaire helps this show's development? Maybe, no crystal ball here. If they're going to do that, and I invite y'all to flame away as I'm probably the only person who advocates this, but I wish Natalie Martinez would have been resurrected (did she do anything as dastardly as Porsche allegedly has done?). All the gasoline Shelly has been spreading would be a lot more fun with a match to light it.

ps: what did you think of Harry Potter? haven't seen it yet - should I go to 3D?

pss: you've mentioned Jordan has a lot more on the ball than she's given credit (I agree). Is there anything to be made of the fact that both of Jordan's seasons have seen the women run the men out the door (even though the women weren't aligned?) Meh, probably not; interesting, though.
