In tonight's head of household competition ("HOH"), the contestants were required to putt a golf ball up a ramp and into a hole. Once it went into the hole, it went down a tube.
Before the contest, the hostess made clear that the rule was that the first person who's ball reached the bottom of that tube won. Marvin hit his ball and it went into the hole; however, it bounced around a bit. At exactly the same time, Karen hit her ball in the hole; it rolled directly into the center of the cup after hitting the back of the putting surface.
Immediately the hostess declared Marvin the winner and he ended up winning the HOH competition overall. However, my wife and I both noticed that Karen's ball reached the bottom of the tube before Marvin's, because Marvin's spun around in the cup, whereas Karen's went right down.
Upon repeated review on TiVo, MARVIN'S BALL NEVER WENT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TUBE. Karen's did, and therefore Marvin should not be head of household.
I think CBS knows this: The hostess sounded confused and halting when she was talking right after the competition - the way someone sounds when there are people screaming in her earpiece that something is wrong.
It was a Philly radio station. Gotta fight hard...at least where it counts. I hope you didn't take my saying that I was on the radio as an attack on your use of your free time...I didn't mean it that way at all. I hate that show, but my fiance watches it all the time (Is it on like every other night or something?) and wants to talk to me about it. I almost invariably have something better to do with my time. Like an unneccessary tooth extraction with a sledgehammer and no pain killers.
Well, if people can have stupid NASCAR threads and Laci Peterson threads, the BB watchers can have one too.
Oh, not at all. I was upset when I had to change registration from Pennsylvania. (My wife is hooked on it as well, thus dragging me down with her...)
The Amazing Race is my favorite show. Check your private freepmail, I sent you a message.
I expected CBS to be at least a little better.
"Gilligan's Island", of course. And why does Julliard suck?
That's funny. I watch Big Brother, Amazing Race, and NASCAR. Is that weird?
Julie did make a mistake. Karen was robbed. Call in David Boise.
