Mathematically impossible
Yes, I watched the final episode of Dancing with the Stars. Fine, I’m a big flaming homo.
Okay, now that thats out of the way, let me talk about it for a second.
I didn’t watch this show. As much as I can get hooked on reality TV like crack, this was a show that I wasn’t stuck on. The show is on Thursdays, same day as Survivor, so my inlaws asked Kel and I to tivo it for them so they could watch it after Survivor. We did, and they would come over after we had Survivor dinner to watch it. Because of this, I saw a most of a few episodes.
Tonight was the finale. First, let me tell you about the people left in it.
Stacey Keebler
Three words describe her. HOT HOT and HOT.
Drew Lachey
I thought this was dancing with the stars, not dancing with the stars, husbands brothers. I’ve never heard of this fucking guy before this show, and had no idea that he was in a boy band. I only knew the name Lachey because his brother Nick is Jessica Simpsons husband. I can’t figure out how this guy is considered a star. Whatever.
Jerry Rice
That’s right, Jerry Rice. He’s the man, no matter what he does.
These were the three that went to the finals. Stacey is the best dancer, because she was a professional dancer. Drew was also a professional dancer, because that’s what boy band guys do. They lip sync and dance. Jerry was the only person, as far as I’m concerned, that deserved to be there. He’s the only person that wasn’t paid to be a dancer before this show. The other two did it for a living for Christs sake.
So, I was wondering how the scoring thing works. Elaine clued me in that the judges give them a score. The team with the best score gets 3 points. Second gets 2 points, and thrid gets 1. It’s a reverse points system just like the one I use for our poker league. Then, there are phone in votes, and they use the same scoring system for that.
Here’s where it gets funny. After the final dances, Drew Lachey got 3 points for first. Stacey Keebler 2 points for second, and Jerry Rice got 1 for third. Half way through the show, they said who got voted off next, leaving only two people left. To everyones surprise, it was Stacey Keebler that was voted off. So it’s Jerry Rice verse Drew Lachey for the trophy.
I’m sitting there, at my inlaws house, and something hit me. There is no way Jerry can win. Since he only got one point from the judges, and Drew got three, and Stacey must have received the least amount of home votes (or she couldn’t have been voted off) then the best that Jerry could do was 4 points. The worst that Drew could do was 5 points. So it was mathematically impossible for Jerry to win.
I then proceeded to tell everyone in the room what I figured out. What I didn’t think about was that these people have watched this show for 8 weeks, and 1 hour before the finale, I ruined it and told them who won, and why I was right. Essentially, I “Eileened” the ending for them. I didn’t realize untill the ride home how funny, and completely shitty that was.
But since I look at the comedy in everything, I will tell the story as an anecdote as opposed to something shitty that I did.
A long time ago, Eileen went to see a movie. I asked how it was, and she told me the ending. We’ve been joking about it ever since. Tonight, we fell even when after 8 weeks, I ruined the end of this show for her. I can no longer call it “Eileening” a movie.
On more thing. I wonder how many people watching this show tonight realized what I realized when I was watching. It’s fairly obvious that ABC didn’t know. Basically, half way through a two hour special, they gave away the ending. I find it hard to believe that I’m the only one that figured it out.

1 commentKFC Trickeration
So I’m watching TV and that commercial for the new Buffalo Wings snacker at KFC comes on. During the part where they’re showing the sandwich, with the “NEW” banner flowing by in the background, I noticed something flash in the corner of the screen. I thought to myself “was I just seeing shit?”
So I rewind the DVR and frame by frame the commercial and sure as shit, I found something. There is a flash in the top right corner, it’s REALLY fast, it says to go to KFC.com and enter the secret code “buffalo” to get a coupon for a free Buffalo Wing Snacker. Tricky bastards aren’t they.
So, go there, do that, and thank me for providing you with at least .99 of your lunch.
BTW
I didn’t try this, so if it asks you to give up your first born for a .99 chicken sandwich, it’s not my fault. Might be a fair trade though.
Tivo+WiFi+Treo=DAMN GOOD TIMES!
I hooked up Tivo to my WiFi network. So now Tivo uses my home network to make its calls, instead of a phone line. I can now transfer anything from my Tivo to my computer. With a little editing, here is the ultimate. This is a picture of my Treo, playing Whos Line is it Anyway:
Works perfectly! Good times. I can now bring anything I Tivo, with me anywhere I want to watch on my phone!
I’m thinking my 512mb SD card is no where near big enough now. Technology is cool.
4 commentsParty Poker
Party Poker confiscated 180k from one guy whe he was found cheating online. He has multiple accounts (2 proven) and would play with both of them in the same tournament. This goes on a lot in the online poker world. Ironically, this guy got caught because he won 140k in one tourney. Think about that. If he loses, he never gets caught.
Life is silly that way.
No commentsShot rock.
Do you know what that means? How about “hammer”? I do. Why? Because I’ve been watching curling in the olympics on CNBC for 3 days now. You heard me right. Friggin curling.
Curling
…….
It’s like crack. I don’t want to watch it anymore, but I can’t stop.
SOMEONE HELP!
3 commentsThe greatest team…never.
Anyone watching the Olympics? I do a little, but they are kind of boring. What I don’t get is why is figure skating on everytime I turn on the coverage? Seriously, WTF?
You got the long program, short program, medium program, shorter then long but longer then short program, slightly over medium program, and 3-day straight program. How fucking long does it take to have a figure skating competition?
So, I’ve watched a lot less of the Olympics since 85% of it is ice dancing or whatever the fuck it’s called. I did watch both men and womans half pipe, which was solid, and some of the down hill skiing. I love how the American Mens Ski team has been billing themselves as the best team ever, and they pretty much suck ass. Except that young guy, the one guy that wasn’t supposed to win anything. He’s the ONLY one of them to win a medal. That’s funny shit. Maybe next time, wait till AFTER you do something to brag about it, dumbasses.
