A detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this detour posters will have to choose between gaming and naming.

In gaming, posters will participate in an internet discussion of the actual race. They'll weigh the pros and cons of each team's performance, and engage in spirited discussion of each team's chances.

In naming, posters will spend 5 pages trying to figure out whether "Team L Word" or "Team The L Word" is a better nickname for Debbie and Bianca. Posters that choose naming will increase their post count, but they may suffer horrible disappointment when someone makes a post that does not use their agreed-upon nickname.

It's time for everyone to concede that Rob is just a great player. (As for Amber, it's time to concede that she sure looks cute as a button standing next to a great player.) Actually, their having won Survivor should be an advantage for everyone else who saw their strategies televised, not them: It was like being given game films of another team before the Super Bowl. But did anyone learn the right lessons? No.

Perhaps Rob has some kind of supernatural mind-erasure powers. The same thing happened in All Stars: No one remembered that he had broken all of his promises on Marquesas. He was one of the least trustworthy players to step onto the All-Stars island, and yet everyone trusted him, including Kathy, who had been on that previous season with him. How far does Rob's power to cloud people's mind extend? As an experiment, I would like to see Rob stand in a room holding a pencil; after dropping the pencil, he would ask someone to pick it up. When the person did so, he would kick them in the ass. Then he would apologize, take the pencil back, and drop it again, asking the person — still rubbing their own smarting ass — to pick it up again. I'm guessing that this would go on for about six hours straight, only stopping when Rob's pencil-holding fingers cramped up.

And now, the Race competitors stared in disbelief when he bribed a security guard not to tell anyone about an earlier bus and then lied about it. The indignation on Debbie's face when she said, ''It makes me nauseous,'' was laughable. Remember how self-righteous everyone on the All-Stars jury was over Rob's lying? And how many of them went home with a million dollars? Exactly. So stop complaining and start playing the game.

AMEN!

It's like people who try to regiment your fun by planning every possible minute. Just let it happen!

Okay my contributions...






and my 2 cents...

Although I don't want to see Romber win, I really enjoyed the way Rob played the game this episode. Can't wait until the first Yield comes up this season.

You can be on our team as long as you promise not to participate in a 14-page thread to decide what we should call our team.

I can just see him doing that too...
