I guess Paul Ryan has been replaced already with a chosen successor in your warped definition world.

Its not warped lmao, its literally the 1st and 3rd definitions of the word on your original source, Dictionary.com

Warped definition world applying to where you pick and choose which definitions are valid. Thanks for making that clear with this post.

You're quite literally saying that YOUR picking and choosing of definitions is more valid though.

1. an elected official or group of officials, as a legislator, continuing in office during the period between an election defeat and a successor's assumption of office.

2. a president who is completing a term of office and chooses not to run or is ineligible to run for reelection.


I feel like you don't even try anymore.

He was in a lame duck year regardless as he couldn't have possibly won the election. Hence they said during a presidential election year with a lame duck president.

Theoretically, wouldn't your definition imply Obama was a lame duck in 2012?

Why does his political affiliation matter, Seph? I thought political activism among judges was a bad thing.

did *anybody* actually want Hillary over Bernie?

*actual people

Right here

Same. This country shouldn't be about the extremes, and electing a cult of personality on the Republican side doesn't mean we should have a cult of personality on the Democrat side. Hillary had more substantial and realistic plans, plus she had a lot more experience actually working to get things done. Yeah, Republicans would've obstructed whatever she tried, but at least she could better navigate Washington, especially since Obama was too naive about the whole process.

you're right that colton didn't last "too long", but it certainly made for a jarring edit when his shenanigans (and alicia's, to a lesser extent) took up 95% of the pre-merge action, then suddenly he's gone by "medevac" and the story just becomes "hey kim is gonna win" (which really isn't a story)

Still doesn't justify ranking it below a season with negativity that continued all season long, had an equally obvious march to victory (by a player who had a far more unfair advantage than Kim), and had its players literally stamp out any attempts to provide ANY sort of drama or interest for the entire post-merge.

Redemption Island was a complete Boston Rob circlejerk for Jeff and Mark and the rest of the crew. There's no denying it, that's what it was meant to be. Jeff said prior to the season airing that he expected it to go down as a top 5 season, and he ate those words big time. But if you just look at it at face value, unless you hate Phillip (which I don't), and hell, even if you DO hate Phillip, there's still nothing quite as vile and disgusting in that season as the behavior that was allowed to take place in One World and South Pacific.

You hate South Pacific far too much. There is no behavior that one could equate to Colton in One World. And even Colton, at least he's out pre-merge and goes out crying like a bitch. I'm not saying he makes the season BETTER, but at least he doesn't last that long.

Seriously, the most fury-inducing moment of RI is when Steve, one of the last two or three Zapateras

Oddly enough, I believe Steve was the last Zapatera left in the game proper. But he left just minutes after Ralph at the same tribal council.

I know he was the last one left. I just don't remember if the moment happened during the Julie boot (which I believe is widely considered the worst episode of the entire franchise), or during the Ralph/Steve double boot.

i mean, i think we've had enough posts to realize that we don't have the same criteria for our favorites lol

but like i said, i agree that one world's cast was superior (though you're giving characters like leif and christina cha a little too much credit). i just can't take colton's pouty power trip for 6-8 episodes (or whatever) followed up by the most one-sided pagonging this side of domenick and wendell

At least One World's Pagonging had:

A Michael blindside that required Kim to rush over to cockblock Jay's dumb ass from spilling the beans
A Jay blindside in which Jay got himself voted out by spilling the beans about Troyzan's idol to Kim
A Troyzan stay of execution when he wins immunity (something that NEVER happened during the RI Pagonging)
A Troyzan boot that Christina almost fucked up and got herself voted out during
A Kat blindside that provides one more majority alliance boot than Redemption Island had during its 6-person Pagonging
Finally, a Tarzan boot when Kim misted Alicia into throwing their games away

To recap, not only did someone from the majority leave BEFORE the Pagonging was complete, but also, a member of the minority alliance won goddamn immunity to save himself. Neither of these events occurred in Redemption Island. One World also didn't have a time-consuming twist that quashed drama and prevented rewards like Redemption Island did.

ETA: Seriously, the most fury-inducing moment of RI is when Steve, one of the last two or three Zapateras, makes a pitch to Natalie/Ashley, and the editors can't even give us a tease of "maybe the girls will flip and make a move", because they immediately turn around to say "yeah right, like we're gonna work with Steve and ANDREA." Jesus Christ, NOTHING HAPPENS.

i think redemption island probably had fewer interesting characters, but one world was such an awful trainwreck of both unpleasantness and predictability that it just had to be last for me, despite the best efforts of kat and kim

With the exception of the final 3, all of whom were calm, rational players, One World's cast was amazing. Had some villains to hate (I won't say "great" villains because the big two are especially vile), some big personalities. I think if Kim isn't there to rationally run the show, the season is a lot better than it is.

Redemption Island has a terrible cast with only a few interesting characters (honestly, they should've just swapped Francesca/Kristina with Stephanie/Krista, given how out-of-place and obvious early boots they were on a mostly homogenous tribe.) Plus, terrible twists (captain season designed to give Boston Rob a win, Redemption Island to give him and Russell a second chance if they lost, and RI continued until the finale, so there were still EIGHT people who could win the game in the final episode.) In NO WAY should One World be the worst season on this list. 35th, sure, but Redemption Island is untouchably awful.

Yikes. One World is bad, but it's not the worst season ever, especially since Redemption Island exists.

There's just SUCH a massive disparity in quality between the two tribes here. It boggles the mind that Casaya and La Mina can exist in the same realm.

Five is just a very large number. It requires a tribe to survive the pre-merge with a maximum of 1-5 losses (depending on starting number of players per tribe), take control at the merge, and stick together to the final 5. Even if you lowered it to four, that adds Africa, China, HvV and BvW to the mix.

Are they really that bad or does Casaya make them look worse than they actually are?

I mean, Casaya makes it look lopsided, but Terry is generic alpha dad, Nick is cardboard, Ruth Marie is cardboard, Sally rises above cardboard only by the circumstances of her underdog status, and Austin is a dick. Dan is the only kinda interesting one, and Misty was voted out too early to really shine.

So I'm on episode four of Exile Island. And my GOD La Mina sucks. Like, it's been a while since I watched the season, so I thought maybe the "La Mina is boring" talking point was over-exaggerated.

No. It's completely accurate.

So options are:

Borneo
Thailand
Palau
Redemption Island
One World

Borneo and Palau are definitely safe, but I could see either Redemption Island or One World getting the boot here. Hoping it's Redemption Island though.

If you have to consider race to make a decision, you are making a judgment based on racism. Whether negative or positive.

Race should make no difference at all into your decision. Nor should sex, etc.

Pretending that problems don't exist doesn't make them go away. Being willfully blind of racist policies just helps enable them.

Sounds to me like you are hoping for something to help out those who are not as well off financially.

That should not be only limited to one race in that bracket.

Help everyone or help no one.

This sounds very much like saying "all lives matter" to counter a movement based specifically around disproportionately black deaths via cop.
