Oh and I think we should finish the game at the end of this season and start a new one next year. So everybody stays interested in the game.

70k isn't insurmountable if you have a big play on one of the long shots.

I do agree that the game should end at the end of the season so we can start fresh next season.

Especially since most of the lead people tend to throw all their money on one or two "sure things". If those happen to miss, they'll drop real quick.

I hate this ruling :mad:

I guess I was thinking something like a windsurf board as "similar" to a boat. I mean, <s>dead</s> a boat is <s>dead</s> a boat.

Just pissing and moaning, really.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 
I guess it depends on the definition of "scene" now. Half the characters were on the boat, half on the pier...

I think we can believe you, especially since young Ben appeared in a new scene about a minute into the episode.

Also, I think No. 62 is a winner since there was a scene with Penelope and her son on a sail boat.

outcastja 04-09-09 01:30 AM

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 
I think Locke/Ben on the boat should be counted anyway since the "muscles/paddles" rule was made like a hour before the show aired, when a lot of people already made their bets.

Hell the whole Locke/Ben/Caesar scene was all about them taking a boat.

{59} Someone gets a bloody nose

Didn't Desmond give Ben a bloody nose? IIRC his nose was bleeding profusely when he fell in the water.
