Episode 33.6

I get really far behind on the tapes that I’m watching in regards to what other TV shows have aired. For instance, I haven’t seen the last season finale of The Flash yet and neither have I seen the last episode of The Grinder yet. There’s also an episode of Rush Hour that I still have recorded and left to watch. I get behind on shows so much that there’s always something I’m behind on. I have only been caught up on tapes once, well, since I started a new method of watching them, at least.

This isn’t related to Survivor, but I have had problems recently with an antivirus program I’ve been using. While I thought that AVG was the best antivirus, it seemed to keep asking about an update that it never asked for before. I don’t know yet if I’m still on the free version or not. I hope that I am. If I’m not, I hope that I can get it back again because it seemed as if I was put onto a trial version of something that I’d have to pay for after a month has passed. I’m not paying for something and hope that I haven’t somehow already. Hopefully this problem can be easily resolved.

I’ve had other computer issues the day the last post was updated as it seems like I almost got stuck on a page that was obviously spam. I was able to get out of it and ran antivirus as a precaution which caused me to find out about that problem as it was having its own problems. And this was after getting a suspicious email supposedly from outlook about a problem they said my account had. I hope that I don’t lose the account and doubt I would. At least I have multiple email accounts, even though losing my outlook account would mean losing a fan fiction account I don’t use that much, a facebook account I use a lot, my imdb account, my twitter account, and various other accounts that I don’t remember off hand. You wouldn’t think that I’d actually lose the account by outlook’s own doing so we’ll see if anything bad happens or not.

Something very unusual is going on in the world: the Cubs are actually playing the World Series for the first time since 1945. I didn’t know that such a thing was actually possible. I really hope that people show up to the event dressed up as goats. If someone says they’re not allowed, then they should curse the Cubs again. Meanwhile, the Cubs have only won the World Series twice, both times against the Detroit Tigers. Since they won’t be playing the Tigers (they will be playing the Cleveland Indians this year), I don’t think that they will win. But stranger things have happened. We’ll just see if the long held belief that something terrible will happen after their win (besides, of course, them winning) actually holds up in the event that they win.

There are so many different fucking commercials that are annoying me right now. For one, they’ve started Christmas commercials. Then there’s this confusing one using the song School’s Out. Not to mention all the political commercials that make me want more of the Christmas commercials. Man, I really miss the days before Citizens United. And I also hope that Jason Kander wins his election. If he doesn’t, it would be as stupid as when Alison Lundger Grimes lost to Mitch McConnell. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, the orange tribe, Vanua, gets back from tribal council. Zeke gloats over his enemies taking out one of their own. Jay wants to take care of his ladies on the green tribe. He then goes looking for an immunity idol on his tribe and finds it. They are too easy to find if you ask me. At least they are found and potentially used. I believe that Will is with him when he finds the idol. And who else comes to witness it but Michaela.

In the second segment of the show, we get to the reward challenge. Figgy kinda doesn’t know how to handle herself around others. I don’t think that I hate her, but I hope that she doesn’t win. Hannah sits out of the challenge, so how would there be medical problems with her if she wasn’t even playing in it? This seems weird, but I guess that I’ll have to see what happens. I wouldn’t say that there would never be a medical evacuation at a challenge where a person who wasn’t participating is hurt, but I guess that we’ll have to see what happens for sure.

As usual, there is a lot of confusion at the challenge and it appears that the orange tribe is having the most problems at it, although the purple tribe isn't doing much better. You can normally tell which tribes work well together at this challenge more than most others. It is around the point where all the tribes are solving the puzzle when Hannah starts to feel faint. The orange tribe gets first place. The green tribe gets second place. It looks like she might be having an anxiety attack. I’ve been there. Those aren’t fun. Wait, not an anxiety attack; a panic attack is what she’s having. That was weird and we’ll see whether or not this factors into more of the game. I hope that she's okay and I never like a medical evacuation despite my possible obsession with them. Figgy feels like she failed after the challenge.

In the third segment of the show, Zeke feels that Figgy doesn’t like him. He now wants to turn against Michelle since he feels that he was at the bottom of his old tribe. On her tribe, Hannah talks about her anxiety. She quotes Kim from One World. Taylor and Figgy wonder whether or not they should reveal to the people on their new tribe about their showmance. The two gen x people both knew about this when Figgy tells them because Tiggy was not doing a good job keeping it secret.

In the fourth segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge. I’m going to guess that the purple tribe loses the challenge. It appears that Michaela and Hannah are bickering at the challenge, despite actually doing well together. Thus, the green tribe wins immunity first. Michaela then decides to offer verbal help to the orange tribe which is a risky thing to do. Whether or not her help works is what helps the orange tribe, Vanua to win immunity second. She is then a bit bitchy after the challenge. Thus, the purple tribe goes to tribal council and the prechallenge edit is true once more.

In the fifth segment of the show, Adam (not me) wonders how he should vote as to whether or not he should stick with his old tribe or not. Taylor doesn’t think that he can trust Adam. Jessica and Ken want to work with Adam. Which side will he join? You never want to be the swing vote in the game? Should he turn on his old tribe or get rid of the couple? Either move is risky. Please get rid of Figgy. Jeff points out that he’s an ordained minister, although the Universal Life “Church” which he’s ordained with is not a real church as they will literally let anyone be a pastor. They’ve let atheists be pastors.

Anyways, back to the actual show, Adam still doesn’t know which side to join and Taylor made it seem like he’d come after Adam if this doesn’t go down well. At least he doesn’t have to worry about using his idol, does he? Also, I will keep a secret when it happens what new thing I will do when he gets voted out. Figgy is voted out. Interesting, if he decided to waste his idol on Ken, they probably would have left his vote a mystery. But would it still be a good move? I think that him keeping it was the right move.

On the next Survivor, Taylor seeks vengeance on Adam while Zeke and David get together. You know, I like a lot of the players this season, but it is hard to find which one of them to root for long term. I mean, who is the best of these players? Who will win? It could be a lot of people.

Total confessional count: Ken- 12, Michelle- 4, Hannah- 6, Zeke- 12, Jay- 8, Taylor- 10, Will- 3, David- 19, Michaela- 13, Sunday- 3, Figgy- 9, Chris- 10, Adam- 11, Bret- 4, Jessica- 10.

New confessionals this episode: Michelle- 0, Hannah- 1, Zeke- 2, Jay- 1, Taylor- 2, Will- 0, David- 1, Michaela- 1, Sunday- 0, Figgy- 2, Chris- 0, Adam- 2, Bret- 0, Jessica- 1, Ken- 2.

Figgy had two confessionals this episode, the same as Adam, Zeke, Ken, and Taylor. Everyone else had less. Sunday, Chris, Michelle, Bret, and Will all had no confessionals this episode. In terms of the total confessional count, Figgy had nine. Michaela, Ken, Chris, Adam, Zeke, Jessica, Taylor, and David all have more confessionals than she did, with David as the highest with nineteen. Will and Sunday tie for the lowest with three. It was weird that Will didn’t even get a confessional about Jay’s idol. I’m also wondering why we’ve seen so little of Bret this whole game. Which one is he? I guess that we will see what happens later with these players. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode 33.5

When it comes to the fall Survivor season, a lot of people might be wondering about the spring season and what that will be like. SPOILER. Two contestants from this season will be on the next season. I can’t remember who at the moment, but I think that Zeke and Michaela are the two. That would be weird since that would mean neither of the returnees from this season would be from the gen x tribe. But I can’t remember if that’s right or not as I’m not looking up the information again until the season finale of this season happens. END SPOILER. There is a lot to wonder and know, but I feel that the less one knows, the better. The only thing I’d want to know is who would be in the cast, but only if there are returning players in the cast.

Before I had this blog, there was a time during Survivor: Vanuatu where I was away from home during Thanksgiving. It has been the only time thus far where I was not at home for any of Thanksgiving. Now things have been changing with the years regarding that holiday. The point is, I don’t know where I might be yet for Thanksgiving so I’m not sure when you will get the post of this blog for the episode from before Thanksgiving. Normally I have been able to do them to day they air, but I don’t think that I’ll be able to see it on time this year. We’ll see what happens for sure. Just have a heads up for that in case there’s a future missing blog post towards the end of November. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we get back to the gen x tribe after their tribal council. Jessica tells Ken about her legacy advantage. The tribe then goes for an idol search party. Some people miss it while David finds it and waits until people are gone before getting it. Why are those who find idols so much more likely to find it? I guess that it’s because few other have their determination to find it. The tribes then go to a challenge and learn about a tribe swap.

In the second segment of the show, they learn of the third tribe being added. Now I finally have to learn the names of the tribes. It turns out that the extra member will go to the new tribe. Did I guess that? I meant to if I didn’t. Tiggy will still exist on their tribe. I miss who is on what new tribe. I’m never good at getting that. Turns out there was not actually a challenge. The new, green tribe immediately starts building a new shelter since they have to. Nice to see them work. Takali, the purple tribe, gets used to their new tribe arrangement. This is where friction between Tiggy starts to happen. Adam (not me) doesn’t like still being on a new tribe with them. He gets a bit cocky with the power he may or may not actually have.

In the third segment of the show, we finally see the Vanua (orange) tribe, but only on the next day. Michelle is worried that things are stacked against her and Zeke due to how the swap worked. Who are the Sooners? I’ve never heard of them before. Chris decides to talk to Zeke and they want to work together. Why is Chris so quick to change sides? Back on the green tribe, Jay is working with the flint but gives up. Michaela then does the flint instead and it able to help with the fire starting. What does this mean for her future? She gets emotional afterwards for reasons I don’t understand.

In the fourth segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge. I’m guessing that the purple tribe will lose. Sunday costs her tribe time at the challenge. David fumbles a lot at the challenge which seems kind of humorous in a way. It kind of reminds me of how in the Popeye film, Harold Hamgravy was constantly stumbling after his hat in the opening sequence. The purple tribe is winning the challenge, but the green tribe quickly turns things around and they fight for first. They get around evenly matched for the shooting phase. The purple tribe wins first place leaving the green and orange tribes to battle out for second place. The orange tribe loses and has to go to tribal council.

There’s a bit of a storm going on around the area where I live so I hope that this doesn’t affect the show. This does mean that I’ll have to record something on VHS instead of my laptop since the stupid CW doesn’t care about important events being reasons not to air a repeat episode.

In the fifth segment of the show, Chris wants everyone to vote against CeCe, although David isn’t sure if this is what he wants to happen or not. David sure is up to all sorts of different sinister ways. It makes me wonder if he could actually win this whole thing. But doesn’t it seem a bit too obvious? We’ll see. I just wish that he could actually make the numbers flip on his own instead of just using another idol to his advantage. It is hard to tell what is going on at tribal council. David actually says at tribal council that he is with Chris. If I were him, I would just vote out CeCe and save the idol for another day. But I have no clue what is happening going into the vote. Nobody plays an idol. CeCe is voted out of the game.

On the next Survivor, Figgy is dumb in a way and yet another challenge causes medical problems. Why can’t they fix that? Don’t they know by now that these blindfold challenges are going to cause problems most of the time?

Total confessional count: Michaela- 12, Sunday- 3, Figgy- 7, Chris- 10, Adam- 9, Bret- 4, Jessica- 9, Ken- 10, Michelle- 4, Hannah- 5, Zeke- 10, Jay- 7, Taylor- 8, CeCe- 6, Will- 3, David- 18.

New confessionals this episode: David- 4, Michaela- 3, Sunday- 0, Figgy- 1, Chris- 2, Adam- 2, Bret- 1, Jessica- 1, Ken- 3, Michelle- 2, Hannah- 0, Zeke- 2, Jay- 2, Taylor- 2, CeCe- 2, Will- 0.

CeCe had two confessionals this episode, the same number as Michelle, Zeke, Jay, Taylor, Chris, and Adam. Then there are Ken, David, and Michaela who all had higher confessionals this episode with David at the highest with four. Hannah, Sunday, and Will all had no new confessionals this episode. CeCe had six total confessionals in the game, which is more than Michelle, Hannah, Sunday, Will, and Bret. The lowest in terms of the count are Sunday and Will with three a piece. David is still king with the highest count with eighteen total confessionals. Besides him, everyone else who is now in double digits with the total count is Ken, Zeke, Michaela, and Chris. I do wonder if I’m starting to like David. He might be a good player, but his moves could get the best of him. We’ll see what happens. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode 33.4

There may be comparisons between this season and Nicaragua. If there are any criticisms regarding this season compared to that one, it is that this season doesn’t actually have a legitimate older tribe like Nicaragua did. This season isn’t so much old versus young as it is middle aged versus young or even young versus even younger. You do have to wonder in a way if Survivor is getting tired of casting older players in it. They could do a generation battle with the baby boomers, but they didn’t and I’m not sure if they ever will. I don’t know if this is ageism or them actually caring about older people by not casting them in the dangerous situations that people face on Survivor. It could be different things happening. Plus, the older tribe did suck in Nicaragua, although that might have been due to many reasons and not just because they were old.

You might be wondering how I feel about the fact that there is a person named Adam this season. Well, I’m honestly not sure how I feel about him just yet. I can hope that he is good, but I’m also not sure if he can last. But I do plan on doing something special when his last episode this season airs. I don’t know yet if he will be eliminated or if he will make the end. Ultimately, I will reveal more about it when it happens or around the time of the 39^th potential Survivor season. Why then? You’ll have to see then.

Survivor Shade is suddenly done with updates. It’s actually for a good reason as the man who did it got promoted at work. He is thus too busy with work to do the blog he started. I can only hope that we don’t lose any other great Survivor sites in the near future since it was already bad enough losing Survivor Oz. Maybe I should start a podcast to fill the void. I just don’t know how I’d do that, if I’d have the time and devotion to do it, who I would do it with (although there are probably a lot of potential people that would work), or what the name of the podcast would be. Honestly, I should create a TV podcast and have a Survivor specific part of it.

What was the point of the summit in the last episode? It didn’t seem to have much of a point or purpose to it. I’m kind of bothered by it, actually. While I guess I admire them for doing something new, even if it is kind of similar to what they did with earlier seasons before the merge. (Nowadays with the merge, the tribes are just dumped upon each other, which would be far more interesting if there wasn’t a swap before the merge.) But the whole summit thing didn’t seem to work in terms of advancing the game. Maybe it will prove pivotal to later game play, but I just don’t see what it was there.

Now to the legacy advantage: I know that Jessica has it for now. I’m honestly not sure if she will last in the game or not. I’m also not sure if I want her to. The only reason why I would want to see her voted out before it could be used is to see how exactly it would be willed away to another player. I wish that if one were blindsided with an idol that they could at least turn around and give their idol to some other player. Sadly, that is against the known rules of Survivor. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we get back to the gen x tribe after their tribal council. Chris said he was going to throw a fit, but he thought better of it. Jessica tries to talk them over about it. Sunday wonders whether or not they made a mistake. Lucy finally gets her first confessional aired.  She ends up stirring up trouble on the tribe.

In the second segment of the show, the younger tribe goes hunting. Adam (not me) goes looking for an idol while the rest of the tribe is distracted. Now from another blog I’ve read, he’s been near the idol before but didn’t know it. I actually missed this. Did you know this? We finally get to a reward challenge. The winner gets meat, veggies, and spices. Am I the only one wondering why they ever give spices as a reward on Survivor? What person living in the heat of the jungle wants to have something spicy to eat? The older tribe wins the first round. The younger tribe wins the second round.

I would probably hate competing in this challenge. Of course, there are a lot of them I wouldn’t want to do. That’s why I’m probably best as just watching it. Anyways, the older tribe wins the third round. The younger tribe wins the fourth round. There is a topless moment during this part. This alternating pattern continues and the older tribe wins reward. I also wonder why they didn’t have a man and woman versus man and woman round. Why the all gender battles? Also, what does this have to say about the younger tribe versus the older tribe since the men won all on the older tribe and the woman won all on the younger tribe?

In the third segment of the show, we get to the younger tribe after their loss. (Is it just me or was that a short commercial break?) Adam (still not me) doesn’t consider himself good at being physical. I guess there is stuff that we have in common. I still don’t know whether looking for the idol is good or bad, I just know that it can be good to have it. Apparently Hannah notices him searching for an idol. His mother has cancer. That’s sad. Today is the anniversary of my father’s death and he died of brain cancer. So it is nice to see a humanizing side of the players from time to time. Good for him.

In the fourth segment of the show, we go to the older tribe after they eat some of their reward. David thinks that he and Ken are still on the bottom of their tribes. Lucy wants them to vote off Jessica, but she’s too demanding with her rules about it. I was afraid that her airtime might mean her elimination is going to happen. The challenge seems to be interesting and I always like it when there is a new type of challenge that appears. It seems dumb of the older tribe to put Chris on the chair, but he ends up doing much better than Figgy did. After a long time doing the challenge, the younger tribe wins.

In the fifth segment of the show, Chris is with the plan to vote out Jessica. Lucy makes a statement that reminds me of a controversial book called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Jessica hears that she was the target, but she then thinks about getting rid of CeCe instead. Jessica told Lucy about what was happening. Why do that? I think that she must be neurotypical as they tend to blatantly ignore clearly given instructions. Of course, it’s likely that every Survivor contestant has been neurotypical.

At tribal council, Lucy talks about being blunt. Honestly, I prefer people being blunt at times. This one teacher I had said that I shouldn’t take physics, but he beat around the bush about it (Me: Should I take physics? Him: Well, it’s a lot of math) and I never got the message. Thus, I suffered through a semester of the class and I don’t understand why he couldn’t have just put it bluntly by telling me not to take it. Anyways, David decides to play his idol on Jessica. His instinct is correct and Lucy gets idoled out.

On the next Survivor, there is an idol search on the gen x tribe and a tribe swap finally happens officially. Let’s face it, we all knew one was coming because it has been far too long without one. Can there be a season without a tribe swap in the future? While I like them, they are becoming too obvious.

Total confessional count: Hannah- 5, Zeke- 8, Jay- 5, Taylor- 6, CeCe- 4, Will- 3, David- 14, Michaela- 9, Sunday- 3, Figgy- 6, Chris- 8, Lucy- 3, Adam- 7, Bret- 3, Jessica- 8, Ken- 7, Michelle- 2.

New confessionals this episode: Michelle- 0, Hannah- 0, Zeke- 1, Jay- 1, Taylor- 0, CeCe- 0, Will- 0, David- 3, Michaela- 1, Sunday- 0, Figgy- 0, Chris- 3, Lucy- 3, Adam- 2, Bret- 1, Jessica- 3, Ken- 2.

Lucy had three confessionals this episode, the highest of anyone, also shared with David, Jessica, and Chris. The people with no new confessionals this episode are Sunday, Figgy, Michelle, Hannah, Taylor, CeCe, and Will. Lucy had three total confessionals in the game, the same number as Sunday, Bret, and Will. Only Michelle was lower with two confessionals; everyone else has higher confessionals. David remains the highest with fourteen total confessionals. No one else is above nine confessionals right now. We’ll see as things go along what numbers stay good and what were misnomers.

Most people would know by now that they are introducing a new tribe, possibly before the merge. I hope that it isn’t bad that I’m mentioning this outside of spoiler tags. But how would they do the swap with sixteen members? Isn’t this just a bit early? If they are going to three tribes, which one would get the extra member? Would someone just be randomly exiled somehow? Maybe it isn’t three tribes. Maybe we somehow know the merge tribe already. We’ll see what happens in the next episode. It could be any number of things. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode 33.3

I wonder if they’ll get caught up on the days that Survivor is supposed to be at. The hurricane from the premiere delayed the game for one day and we have to wonder how they’ll get caught up or if they’ll just do one extra day this time. There could be a double tribal council twist to make up the time. Or they could replace a postmerge reward challenge with an extra immunity challenge.  I do miss the double tribal council twist as it hasn’t been done since Nicaragua. When you think about it, this would be the perfect season for it to return. Will it ever? We don’t yet know. And, no, I don’t think that Blood versus Water counts with its first impressions twist.

I really love the Survivor shade website that I mentioned in a different blog post. They have started doing a golden shade award which is given to one side of the battle between generations. Since they have two different sides represented in each post, they want us to vote for which of the two is better. Now the one that I liked better for their first post wasn’t the one who won. But we’ll see which of them works better. The main flaw I see with it is that gen x isn’t going to be on twitter to vote on the poll and the other generation isn’t just going to vote for the other side even if they do like it better some times. I’ll try to be subjective with the votes in the poll. Another Survivor blog I’m getting into is Kaiser Island by Ryan Kaiser, which is available at Survivor Talk with D & D. I’m also trying to find a blog at Rob Has a Podcast, so if you have any suggestions, let me know. Just know that I’m not currently into Andy Baker. I don’t buy into his conspiracy theories.

If you’ve read any of the spoiler parts of my blog, then you’ll notice how I pointed out that Jeff has said that both tribes would attend tribal council at some point. Well, that happened and it appears that they are doing a swap like in Cambodia where they introduce a third tribe. I hope that they do that sometime like the Africa tribe swap, only with the three people from each tribe going to a new tribe instead of to the other tribe. That’s how I would do it, at least. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, the younger tribe gets back from tribal council. Hannah explains more of why she voted against Mari. Zeke wanted to go to tribal council which is weird and makes it seem like he was blindsided when Mari was. Hannah tries to explain to numbers part of the game that many of the people forget about. I wonder how much of this tribe was recruited. Adam (not me) and Zeke appear to still be in an alliance and wonder how to take control of the game again.

In the second segment of the show, the gen x tribe wakes up and wonders how the day will be. It doesn’t seem like much interesting is happening just yet. Ken complains that he’s on the bottom when it seems like other people more logically should be. The younger tribe gets treemail and randomly draws for rocks. We don’t see this side with the gen x tribe. Chris, David, CeCe, and Paul represent their tribe while Will, Figgy, Taylor, and Jay? represent the other tribe. CeCe is very sure of herself that people are bad. Meanwhile, David seeks to work with the other side.

In the third segment of the show, there is more revealed from the summit thingy when the people return to their original tribes. Ken tells people that he wants to vote out Paul as he feels that Paul does nothing to help the tribe. Adam (still not me) tries to get rid of Figgy and hopes that he can get Michaela aboard with the plan. I do wonder why we never heard what Hannah was told as to why she should vote out Mari. I also wonder why half of the episode has gone with almost nothing important happening. And just why were there a random summit between random people on the tribe? Du fuh?

In the fourth segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge. The reward is luxury items. I do admire how the balance beam is complicated. Also, congrats Lucy for finally getting something you said aired. How come only one person can do the throwing part of the challenge? Gen x loses the challenge. The younger tribe tries to make a trade after the challenge, but the older tribe turns it down. It appears that Chris wants CeCe voted out for being slow during the challenge.

In the fifth segment of the show, David tries to flip the obvious script of CeCe getting voted out by trying to get Paul voted out instead. An offhanded comment by Paul makes some of the women turn against him. Jessica is worried either way. Not much can be gathered at tribal council. No idols are played as it seems that David either didn’t want to play it or wasn’t sure if it would be needed. Paul is voted out as an unnecessary hashtag was shown on screen.

On the next Survivor, things fall apart on the gen x tribe. There is a continued fight between them and the younger tribe. WE KNOW THAT.  I’m just wondering when the new tribe will be introduced. You’d think that now would be the time to do it, but they didn’t do it now. I wonder if it will be when there are fifteen players left. I just hope that it isn’t too much of a spoiler for me to talk about outside of official spoiler tags.

Total confessional count: Chris- 5, Lucy- 0, Adam- 5, Bret- 2, Jessica- 5, Ken- 5, Michelle- 2, Hannah- 5, Zeke- 7, Jay- 4, Taylor- 6, CeCe- 4, Paul- 6, Will- 3, David- 11, Michaela- 8, Sunday- 3, Figgy- 6.

New confessionals this episode: Figgy- 1, Chris- 2, Lucy- 0, Adam- 2, Bret- 0, Jessica- 2, Ken- 2, Michelle- 0, Hannah- 2, Zeke- 1, Jay- 1, Taylor- 2, CeCe- 2, Paul- 3, Will- 1, David- 4, Michaela- 2, Sunday- 1.

Paul had three confessionals this episode, which was higher than everyone else except David who had four. Michelle, Bret, and Lucy had no confessionals this episode. Lucy still has the lowest confessional count with zero total confessionals. David is the first to go into double digits as he now has eleven total confessionals. Paul had six total, which is the same number as Figgy and Taylor. Besides David, the only people with higher numbers of total confessionals are Zeke with seven and Michaela with eight. We’ll see what changes as the game progresses. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
