"They didn't leave me any hot water -- Bitches"

And no I don't. Jesus Christ, he's a 4th rate Brock Lesnar.

Exactly. All this "No War" and "Shitty Army" stuff comes from our toughness. We are so confident that we can rip out any given persons liver from their body that we can afford to act timid. But don't fuck with Canada. Seriously, protect yo liver.

I mean, seriously...

If the commercial for that isn't all the wrestlers dancing and signing, and then the one guy who is completely confused (ala Norm McDonald in the SNL sketch), then this company is truly in the shitter.

Landsberg needed to be more cagey with his questions, rather than going head-on with a loaded question where there was no way for HHH to respond honestly.

That is the order of the episodes. 11. All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues 12. Whatever the Case May Be 13. Hearts and Minds 14. Special

The market will be updated shortly. I'll post the gains and losses here. Here is how to read it (last week) (this week) (change) (% change) (52 week High) (52 week low) Boone $1.50 $1.50 $- 0% $2.10 $1.50 Charlie $3.50 $6.50 $3.00 86% $6.50 $3.20 Claire $3.00 $6.00 $3.00 100% $6.00 $1.90 Danielle $2.50 $2.50 $- 0% $2.50 $2.00 Ethan $3.00 $5.00 $2.00 67% $5.00 $0.50 Hurley $10.00 $14.00 $4.00 40% $14.00 $6.00 Jack $12.00 $12.00 $- 0% $12.00 $12.00 Jin $4.00 $3.00 $(1.00) -25% $5.00 $3.00 Kate $6.00 $6.00 $- 0% $7.00 $6.00 Locke $13.00 $14.00 $1.00 8% $14.00 $13.00 Michael $5.00 $5.00 $- 0% $5.89 $5.00 Sawyer $9.90 $10.40 $0.50 5% $11.00 $9.90 Sayid $15.00 $15.25 $0.25 2% $16.00 $13.00 Scott $0.50 $0.50 $0.50 Shannon $4.00 $4.50 $0.50 13% $4.50 $3.50 Steve $0.50 $0.50 $0.50 Sun $4.50 $3.50 $(1.00) -22% $6.00 $3.50 Walt $3.00 $2.00 $(1.00) -33% $3.00 $2.00

For all those following along with the LOST EXCHANGE: Market Report Markets rose in response to the recent episode entitled "raised by another", a Claire-centric episode which featured excellent performances by a lot of the actors, most notably Charlie and Hurley. The market is at an all-time high especially with the news of the next episode, entitled "All the best cowboys have daddy issues", will continue the cliffhanger established at the end of "..another". Biggest Winners: Charlie Hurley Claire Ethan Sawyer Locke Sayid Shannon Biggest Losers: Jin Sun Walt New Market Entry: Steve Scott Rudo's Recommendation: Next weeks episode is a JACK-centric episode, in that we get to see more of his backstory. Boone and Locke appear to stick together, so Boone may just start to actually play a role on the island rather than Sisters Keeper. Currently priced at a low 1.50, boon is Rudo's Pick of the Week. *Bigger Spoilers* The episode after that is a KATE centric episode, and features Jin and Sun. The episode after that is a BOONE centric episode. The episode after THAT is a Walt and Michael centric episode.

Fuck Ontario California. Fuck it up its stupid ass.

Sayid: Wait a second... Locke was the one who told me that Sawyer did it... but why? Jack: I dunno, Locke seems to have a vested interest in this place. Sayid: That bastard, he Scott and Steved me! Scott and Steve: What's that supposed to mean?

"I don't know who Scott and Steve are!" They need to make more Scott and Steve references, especially infront of Scott and Steve... Hurley: Sawyer, I just wanna say thank you for the manefest, that was really cool of you. Sawyer: Aw, Stay Puff, are you coming on to me? Hurley: Whah? No! Sawyer: Hey man, that's alright, you're either a Scott or a Steve, bro. I'm a Scott, cause I love the pussy (Scott in the background: "That's right!"). You though, you strike me as a STEVE kinda guy. *Steve pops out of nowhere* Steve: What the hell is that supposed to mean? Sawyer: Shutit Steve-o! *Steve walks away in a huff*

Plus he's Canadian. ONTARIO BITCHES! So, the French chick is really... QUEBECOIS!

Two words my friends... "Rape" "Cave" SHANNON~! Oh and "Stay" "Puff" SAWYER~! I missed the first 10 minutes of the show so I didn't get to see the sleepwalking or anything like that. The rest of the show, however, was fucking awesome. I hate Australians, and I was still able to love this episode. Hurley's inquisition was great, and REAL NAME(~!), and finding out about ETHAN (!!) was hot. Ethan fucking rules. Locke just hanging out is fantastic "Yeah, I already talked to you but I want to get away from Locke" HURLEY!~ HUGO! STAY FUCKING PUFF! Charlie was superb in this, IMO. Dominic is really making it tough for me not to call him a hobbit now. Claire was as good as she could have been given the nature of her character, and the psychic was really fucking choice. The pen scene, in particular, was a highlight of her arc. Ethan is SO busting out. It's a shame they'll probably kill him off by seasons end. At the end I actually said "OH MY GOD!" The preview for next week. OOOOH HOLLA!

Heh, the fools, too wrapped up in the upcoming bear invasion that they are completely unaware of our REAL WMD! Think Aboot it.

Is the Sun even considered a newspaper? I am convinced that the Canadian Army has trained various kinds of bears the art of combat and will send them -armoured- into large cities to reign chaos. Deal with THAT, bitches.

I don't even have any interest in the Echamber, I just think it would be better fitted for the RR than the NYR show. The NYR show needs those 5/6 guys spread out because its a singular brand show, the Rumble you can afford to put all those guys in one match.

How is it misleading? I looked at the buys related to the event, which is perfectly reasonable given the status of these two events, and there was a distinct drop on both occasions that the EC was used, and they were in two different years.

Mole conceeded the Superiority of Season 5 at the end of the Buffy Thread.

I can't believe you guys turned on me.

Because it's a twist that they haven't done yet and which could provide interesting results. It allows for character development as it will show how each wrestler reacts to the situation. The Rumble has been so predictable over the past few years that this unpredictability could liven it up, even for a few minutes. It could provide a memorable moment that will carry on to the next rumble where fans say "what could they do here to top it?".

Oh, I CAN! They could have the cage lowered temporarily by, say Crazy-Old-Man Flair, because if no one can escape then no one can win and possibly face HHH at the rumble. Then, like, Eugene can stop him and raise the cage back up.

The odds are the Royal Rumble will draw significantly lower than last years buyrate. Last year had the advantage of being the influence for WM XX and it still managed to be only marginally up from the previous year and hugely down from the year before that in comparison; this year doesn't have that advantage. The past 2 years have been significantly lower than the 6 year average, which means bad things for the 05 rating. This is more comparable to 2003 rumble which had an astonishing 41% decrease from the previous year. That featured HHH/Steiner and Angle/ Benoit on top, with Lesnar being the favourite to win. There needs to be an added incentive for fans to buy this show, because the Rumble isn't a sure thing.

They could call The 2005 RR "Final Elimination" and even potentially have the chamber come down near the end of the rumble with the last 4 guys left in the ring (this could be done as a surprise or they could hype it, preferably as a surprise). That would be NUTS as it adds a whole new twist to the RR concept. Since I'd say Taker is winning it this year, it doesn't matter if any of the RAW guys aren't in it in this regard. However, who is to say they wouldn't be? Granted, they need to "sell" the impact of the chamber, but all of these guys (Orton, Edge, Benoit, Jericho) are characterized as being willing to go the extra mile, to take the pain, and continue on, because the title means that much to them.

They could still be in the Rumble even if they are in the Elimination Chamber match. The Elimination Chamber is not a draw Survivor Series: 1998 - 1.3 (highest), 1999 - 1.14 (12% drop), 2000 - 1 (12% drop), 2001 - 1.13 (13% raise), 2002 - 0.86 (24% drop), 2003 - 0.73 (15% drop). The 2002 Suvivor Series (which featured the E-chamber) had the largest drop in buyrates. It DOUBLED the the drops from previous years. Summerslam: 1998 - 1.48 (highest), 1999 - 1.47 (1% decrease). 2000 - 1.40 (5% decrease), 2001 - 1.32 (6% decrease), 2002 - 1.32 (no decrease), 2003 - 0.94 (29% decrease) The 2003 Summerslam, which featured the Echamber, did a 29% decrease which is almost 5x's the highest rate of decrease in previous years. Looking at both of these decreases, it is not only clear that the Echamber is not a draw, but it now raises a question whether or not it HURTS buyrates.
