I remember someone speculating earlier in the thread that Chidi would bring up the veil of ignorance as part of the solution. I really like the idea and I hope it happens.

Yeah, I also like the idea of the last minute good place antagonists.

I used to think there was some merit to the twist that this had all been their test, but there's been too many scenes with Shawn or Michael that wouldn't make any sense if that were the case. My pitch was that everything after they met the judge is the test, everything before that was real.

Stupid theory time! This has been their good place all along. It was determined that people eventually get bored with paradise and this system of conflict and high stakes gives them constant excitement, self improvement and a feeling of accomplishment.
