Pool Picks

Survivor

I'm doing pretty well in the office pool -- after the show three weeks ago I was tied for sixth place out of 20 people. Woo!

This week: The commercials are suggesting someone goes home hurt (maybe). My prediction is that someone who is very competitive, yet not as effectual as the others gets hurt but stays. Then the most annoying and dangerous guy/girl gets sent home (as tonight is likely the merge).

Boots: Nick, because he's the toughest-looking remainder of La Mina, so he's likely to be picked off early. But if Casaya decides to take advantage of their 6-4 ratio, it's Shane who's on his way out.

Exiles: Hard to pick, as we don't know what criteria will be used. Last in the challenge? Group vote? Picked by the winner? I'm going to go entirely random, and use two numbers generated at random.org and counted alphabetically from A for each team.

For Casaya: 3 - So, Terry.
For La Mina: 4 - Cirie it is!

Man down! MAN DOWN!

Survivor

I can't BELIEVE they sent Bobby home. That's one less person on my dream team. S'okay. Word has it everyone in the pool has lost one or two people, so we're still okay. My pick of Terry to go back to exile was bang on though, so I still got some points.

This week's picks! At La Mina, Terry is a shoe-in to go back to Exile should Casaya win. Terry, Dan, Austin and Nick are still strongly allied, so Sally is the one to be sent home.

As for Casaya, I think Aras is coming across as the strong one, so La Mina will send him to Exile. And I'm still hoping Shane will lose his shit and go home.

X-Men: The Last Stand

Trailers

There is some concern that the third X-Men movie will completely suck. The new full trailer looks pretty cool though.

Sweet Picking

Survivor

I did real well last week. I picked the boot and the exile correctly, and two of my guys (Bobby and Bruce) were on the team that won immunity and the reward. Picked up big points in the pool. Let's see if I can do it again.

Casaya: Shane is seriously losing his shit. I saw on TV people are calling him a big-time sneak and villain, but he's really not. He's whiny and useless and insane. I think it's finally his night to go home. I also think that if La Mina wins the reward they will choose to send Danielle to exile island.

La Mina: Dan and Terry are still solid, and they have Austin and Nick firmly with them. Therefore Sally would be the one to go home and Terry would head back to exile.
