Hahaha instead of Rocker using the baseball thing as a bond, he wants to boot the kid and thinks somehow ??? that will keep the secret from getting out... and the kid who can't count won't just, you know, announce it on his way out or something.

Sometimes it amazes me that people can recognize pro athletes even years after they retire. I watch nearly every Stl Cardinals game every year but I would probably have a hard time recognizing most players if I saw them walking down the street. Guess I'm just really bad at faces.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I once again find myself asking the question I ask every season. Why does the celebrity always lie and backstab to maintain his secret identity even though he has no idea who knows it and it just breeds mistrust? Just stand up and say "Hi, I'm a millionaire professional athlete. I'm a competitor, I'm used to hard work and pain, and I know how to work with a team. And no one will want to give me a million dollars so keep me around."

Did John say his last name is Wetteland? As in, John Wetteland, another professional baseball relief pitcher??

Oh good, I thought I was hearing things.

And not just another relief pitcher but one who played in the exact same time period against him. So I'd you know who John Rocker is you know who John Wettlend is.

People don't always play for the end game on day one. They've absolutely targeted the rich guys first in the past, it makes for an easy first boot that no one feels bad about and you can put off arguing for another week.

Jimmy Johnson was upfront and it ultimately wound up being the reason he was ousted.

True. But he was also an old man and one of the physically weakest people on his tribe. He also was a natural leader and people wanted him out so they could lead. I feel like if you say "I'm a workhorse goat and I just want to blend in and help" it should buy you a few tribals. Then you need more game.

I mean, yeah, it's got its downside but really the protecting your secret identity makes no sense to me considering for all Rocker knows half the tribe knows who he is but aren't saying anything.

Its definitely a crapshoot depending on who is in your tribe and how things go. But I just don't see the logic in willfully lying after you've already been busted once. Even if no one else knows that one guy can blow up your entire game. Its one thing of you can maintain the secret but once its loose just come clean and do damage control.

When the all-girls alliance was brought up, my stepdaughter and I looked at each other and said "Joey", who for those that didn't watch, suggested the same on this season of Big Brother and was promptly booted.

I get the sense BB is Survivor and Amazing Race's little sister who gets all the second hand stuff. Julie Chen said in an interview the other day that if they ever get moved to the Fall season they can up the prize to a million but as long as they're on in the summer that's all they can afford.

Ahh! Thank you! That's why it was bugging me so much. A couple of months ago I got stuck entertaining a very talkative Sri Lanken bridesmaid at a very boring wedding. It sounded weirdly familiar but I couldn't place it.
