Great episode -- I can't believe how well this show is done for a fraction of the money they get for Big Brother. Engaging contestants, great pace (reminds me of the Amazing Race, oddly), and challenges that are actually difficult!

#9
The episode definitely made me a fan of #3, even (or because of?) with the awful jokes (especially the sushi one on the pod wall - eek). I'm hoping for a miracle #7 boot since he's not bringing the entertainment the way the others are, but he'd still be a satisfying winner since he seems like a decent guy. I didn't see how the diaper was a handicap, since it'd surely be easier than using big cloth shorts. Since I'm a soundtrack nerd, I really love that cheesy "triumph" music they play whenever a treatment finishes I tried FTPing them to my website, but I can't even get one episode over without losing the connection and having to start over. Any other ideas?You could dowload HJSpit, which can cut a big file into however many pieces of whatever size you want.

So it's totally likely some of them were winging it. (Haha. My wittiness is astounding.) *shrugs* Oh well. I really don't know a lot about 0. Is she really being that bitter about it? Poor thing. That is a good point with #1... you're good, Robrob. That is a good point... Haha my arguement is dented. (I still want to talk about it to death because I love this stuff, but I'll stop if everyone gets annoyed by it or thinks my points are awkward. :P It is a real problem for 5's.) 2 could really be either, I mean it's based on the what...? 4 hours I know him from...? That's true about 5. At the same time she really seems like an organized setting-things-up kind of person. I always tend to think in typing things of how you interact rather than why, because usually this is a basis rule... except for the enneagram, which is sort of based on why. So it's hard to say. Maybe I wanted to push that one on her because she reminds me of my aunt...? (I swear they have the SAME VOICE!) And I was trying to see if the pods covered the types... She could be a 1 with a 2 wing or a 2 with a 1 wing. The ever insightful wikipedia says this: Ones with a dominant Two wing tend to use their moral ideals and desires to move others into a movement for reform. They may be persuasive and seek to enlist other people to help with their good causes. In more average psychological health they may be adept with political matters but may also become critical and irritable when frustrated. When unhealthier they may become intolerant, condescending and manipulative. They may deceive themselves about their motives and be self-righteous when their motives are questioned. They may also become hypocrital, develop compulsive habits, or have nervous breakdowns if they are anxious about their self-contradictions. Twos with a one wing could also be called "Good Samaritans" as they are willing to do thankless tasks that others avoid. They often work as teachers; in healing professions; pastoral ministry or with the poor, handicapped or mentally challenged. In more average psychological states they may struggle with their "selfish" feelings. They can be dutiful, 'proper' and perfectionistic. They may become emotionally restrained and dislike drawing attention to themselves whilst still wanting to feel important in other people's lives. They can become very hard on themselves and neglect their health by denying their personal needs and trying to be a martyr. Either way, 7 is loveable for his faults, and both 3 and 8 are cheerful, fun people. :D In 9's case... I don't know. 9's here, right? What do you think? Are you a 5 or an 8? I don't really want to be going-behind-your-back-psychoanalyzing-you for anyone who's here. It's better if we have your input, because you know more about you than anybody else does.

Hey Rob -- could you hear production people through the walls? When they were putting things in the meal slots and so on?

Tigernanama wrote:No, they are not allowed to talk. It's just as much a social experiment on the production staff as it is on the contestants. I guess I may have heard the meal slot door close a couple times if they closed it too hard, but I can't really recall. It's all a blur. :-) If you've haven't watched a Road To Solitary episode, you should. :-) |

Do they need to download HJSpit alsoYeah, but it's a really small freeware file, so it shouldn't be a problem. 10 points for anyone who can give me a valid explanation for why this was called 'Sweeney Pod' - ripping up a goat carcass doesn't really fit in anywhere.

Damnnnnn, my #9 is gone. You gave it a hell of a try and you cracked me up 'til the end. You should be proud of your performance.
#4, your biggest competition is now gone. I think you got this one now. |

I went home and drank a big snifter of auchentoshan... my favorite ... had a 90 minute shower.... it was swell... I said from day one... only thing that would beat me was a race........ Anyway... since I'm alweays drunk when I read these... I have no idea what these numbers are...... so I don't know what number I am.... I do live by my own agenda, and I would enjoy beating you up...... either way......I'll give me an 11 because I like 11 thats eleven not 1 with a 1 or whatever.... I haven't seen the last epdisode... I was at a party last night..... what else... oh I read on google a niklj or something doesn't like me..... I imagine this is a dork with an asian fetish .... or someone that hates paying cover on Saturdays... like a punkass.... I don't know what hjspit is.... but I have an idea....... and thats naughty.... I'm down.... Yeah 7 bores me a bit ... and its always good to cheer on the girls with the boobs... um thats it. |

I've looked it up on Google, so maybe it's because the lady would rip the meat off the carcasses of the victims and bake meat pies out of them and sell them to the local town folk in her shop which was next door to the barber shop where they were killed. |

It's a play on Sweeney Todd.I got that much, but having seen the original film I didn't see what there was in the episode that remotely resembled it. I was expecting some kind of sadistic barbershop challenge, which never came true (speaking of which, I am surprised they haven't done anything dentistry-related, unless you count the ball-gag - I'm sure there'd be a lot there that could scare people into quitting) I didn't get that 'Battle of the Pods' was a pun on 'Battle of the Bods' until an ad came up for it in the middle of this week's show though Yeah 7 bores me a bit ... and its always good to cheer on the girls with the boobs...#9 sharing my taste in contestants (especially by helping get rid of #5) <3 Anyway... since I'm alweays drunk when I read these... I thought #9 was supposed to be sober now - VAL LIED >:-(

Damn it, I went and ruined this ep for myself - I have to watch on hulu and so I TRY not to check this board until AFTER I see the hulu ep, which isn't till Sunday - and here it is Sun afternoon and it's STILL not posted, so I had to freakin' come here and see what y'alls was sayin'. BUMMER #9. And I know that being such a sensitive man, it must have had you weeping for days. ;) Please keep entertaining us here though!! I agree Andrew could be more entertaining, but at least I don't dislike him. Actually I think I'd be satisfied w/ anyone who's left winning, even #3 who I was surprised to like.....but still have to root for #4 and #8 - #4 for the dedication/fanatic/deservedness factor, and #8 for the tough-ass (AND entertaining - moreso than #3) chick winning factor --- plus #4 and #8 post here, so I'm biased that way too. Great season!! |

If you leave near Madison, Wisconsin, stop at the West Towne Mall tomorrow and see me at the Solitary v3.0 Promotional Mall Tour. See what it's like in a
pod and try laying on the bed of nails from season 1. Lots of free Solitary memorabilia for those who try. Hope to see you there.
