I was late to the party, but after seeing the Gruden piece with him I was sold. TJ Graham BETTER produce.

Question for those of you who have followed Stern...what are the chances this will end up in some outburst that completely wreaks havoc on the show and ends up getting him Fired?

The one on the right looks like Ross Perot.

If you do click on it, just don't say I didn't warn you.

True, but in all honesty, since the Jury is the one who decides the winner and we all know that they often vote out of anger with little-to-no objectivity, I think you can pretty much throw all of the FINALISTS into the same group and determine from there who the best players are. If Russell had control over the jury vote like he had control during the game, then he would have won. But when you take the power out of the players hands and shift it to the jury, anything can happen, and it's very clear that the jury does NOT always vote for the most deserving. That blonde girl who won on Russell's first season was the most absurd "winner" in the history of the game next to Sandra (I don't really mean that about Sandra, but had to take another shot for Rico's sake lol). She didn't do SQUAT except to do whatever Russell told her to do. You may has well have voted for one of the chickens (RIP) to win the game. Anyone who watched the show that season knows who the best player was, and there is absolutely no argument to be made that the blonde girl was worthy of the "sole survivor" title. She was the biggest beneficiary in the history of the show. So Russell is 0-3 but with at least one asterisk!

So anyone who knows me will tell you that I have developed a very healthy aversion to feet from working in the medical field over the last ten years. I can't even begin to tell you of the bad memories of pulling back sheets to take pedal pulses and to be met with some of the most horrid sights and smells you could imagine. So anyway, one of my friends thought this would be a fun joke to send to me, so since I had to suffer through it, I figure misery loves company and the rest of you guys can partake right along with me!! Actually, the reason I'm sharing it is because the comments at the bottom of the page had me lmao. Apparently this is some sort of public foot perv site where they discuss the merits of celebrity toes. I was laughing and throwing up at the same time. Enjoy! Amber Valletta's Toe Jam

I used to watch Stern back when he has his E! show, but haven't followed him at all since then. I'm interested to see if he ends up self-destructing on the show. I just wish Piers were still around, cause that would have been a great pairing.

So true...I give her credit for winning, but to put her on the same level as Russell or some of the other top players just doesn't hold water. In a way, this season almost reminded me of the one where that JT guy won. For whatever reason, nobody ever really stood up to him or challenged him after a certain point. I think that was Coach's first season, but even he sort of acted pretty soft toward JT...I don't think anyone wrote his name down even once that entire season. Same thing sort of happened with Kim this season, except the people she played with and against were nowhere near as strong as the ones JT had around him. I give Kim credit for winning immunity as often as she did, but she just really didn't seem to have any serious challenge to her position at all. All I know is that I've seen about 19 of the 24 seasons of the show, and this one was easily the worst group they've ever assembled. I wish Colton wouldn't have gotten hurt, because at least things were a bit more stirred up when he was around. I would much rather have someone I really don't like but who keeps it interesting as opposed to someone I do like who is boring. I like that the next adventure will be in the Philippines...that's a very interesting place...I just really hope they assemble a stronger group.

LOL! I had to do it...I don't see any way we're going to beat you guys

Exactly, that's the sort of crap that pisses me off about the jury vote...these people completely lose sight of the fact that it's a game and can't get over being voted out. Kim was clearly the best player, and if there was any doubt she completely erased it at the end. Troyzan ended up being one of the biggest morons of the season, and that's saying a LOT lol.

Dude?

Did anyone else feel that Chelsea looked worse with make-up? I thought she was really hot on the island, but way too much eye make-up tonight. Congrats to Kim...she dominated for sure. Alicia won the award for the most annoying player for me with her whole "I'm a kingpin and you would have been pooping bricks if you hadn't taken me out". She has no clue...she was never a threat whatsoever, and the first time they felt she needed to go, she was gone. No game whatsoever, and I was glad that she took crap for her special needs comment to Christina. The final Q&A session at the last tribal council proved just why this season was so lousy...did anyone even ASK a damn question? It seemed like the jury was just up there spewing whatever they felt like talking about...I swear, like four of them didn't even ask a question. Idiots. Oh, and Troyzan, you're nowhere NEAR the level of the greatest players in the game. The greatest players can dictate their outcome to a much larger degree than you could. Even when they're up against it, they find a way to survive another day. The players who are even greater still control the game without even being viewed as a target. You don't fall into any of those categories, brother... I'm glad this season is done...I'm ready for next season and some REAL players!

Fart jokes are a selling point with me

Just my opinion, Selmon, but how about finding movies to review that more people give a flying fug about? I come across small, Indy films all the time that end up being very good, but the Indy scene is so big now that it's impossible to keep up with it. Why not find some little gems to review that people may be looking to rent from Netflix or wherever when they can't think of anything else they want to see? I often find that indy/foreign films are much better than much of the mainstream stuff these days anyway, so you may even find that you're having more fun with it. I just don't know many people on TBD who care about smurfs and the gameplan....just my opinion.

That'd be great if MLS signed that thumb-suckin' sumbitch!

HBD Sagester!!!!

Nice! I love the idea of MLS attracting some of the world's best as they get on in years...I think the MLS is just about at the point where I'm going to start following it more closely. Thanks for posting the good news.

Well, when you figure in the number of us who regret wasting our time reading that, your "net readers" will be around 1-2.

Sage, would love to read it. Shoot it my way when you get a minute.

Usually each season I end up buying a few tracks off iTunes here and there...I thought this was going to be the first year where I didn't buy a single track, but then I ended up downloading two of Colton's performances. But overall I'd be surprised if any of them did anything in terms of hit records...I could be wrong, but I just don't see it.

So far he's pretty much just playin' it cool...pretty good bit of drama going on around him, though. I didn't start watching the show until 2007 (Survivor China), and then I went back and watched what was available on DVD but there were still a few seasons that fell through the cracks. Glad I have the chance to see a bit of what I missed. Even just watching the first several episodes of S5, it's clear to me that the show has become much less intense in terms of the "survival" aspect. I think they need to get back to their roots a little so that those with actual survival skills become more valuable. Makes the show more interesting, too, IMO. The last several seasons have been more like a vacation than an exercise in survival.

I remember when I was a kid and my parents had a box of 8-tracks in the car. Their favorite one was Debbie Boone, "You Light Up My Life". I still remember her picture on the front of the 8-track...she was purdy.

I want Joshua or Jessica to win. I have tried and tried to gain an appreciation for PP, but it ain't happenin. He sings the same way every time and the way he carries notes out with that moaning thing is super annoying. Watching David Cook last night reminded me of what it was like to have an Idol who can actually sing.
