December, 1984 bands to check

2024.05.12 07:24 Successful-Bread-347 December, 1984 bands to check

Here is the next list of bands for checking. These bands played on NDR radio in December, 1984.
I've removed bands that were already in the October or November 1984 lists as these have already been checked and so have been removed. Also quickly went through and removed some obvious wrong bands. Thanks to everyone but especially to u/Nitokris666 and u/violetvvviolet for checking the November, 1984 list so carefully (I think both went through almost the entire list).
Search terms I use with youtube, google, discogs for rarer bands are "[band name] +band +1984 (or +demo)".
If you think a band is ruled out - please leave a comment with the band name and the workds "RULED OUT" - and please give a sentence as to why they are ruled out ('female lead', 'jazz band', etc.) but please ONLY say RULED OUT if it is clear they are not the TMS band. Just because you hear they are using a synth and no guitars in a song doesn't mean that they didn't use heavy guitar in another song! If you think a band sounds similar - please leave a comment with the band name and "SIMILAR" so we can really dig deeply into them more.

2024.04.10 10:29 CP4-Throwaway A rough estimate of celebs that may seem more S, Cusp, or BB from Famous Birthdays, for celebrities b. from roughly circa 1939-1948; a.k.a. the Activist microgeneration (give or take)

Just for context, in this specific post:
S = Silent Gen
Cusp = Cusp
BB = Baby Boomer
Since I did one for the other generational divides, I might as well also do one for the Silent/Boomer divide.
I will exclude the 1946-1948 list because that'd be way too long. I'll add them in the comment sections. So in this post, I'll focus on the celebrities born from 1939-1945, a.k.a. "War Babies" (give or take 1939).
I know the vast majority of this sub will disagree but I'll post it anyway.
This is based on the vibes and/or appearance of the celebrity so please don't take this too seriously as this may or may not be accurate, depending on one's view of Silents and Boomers.
This is based on my current perception of these celebrities.

2024.04.09 12:14 CP4-Throwaway A rough estimate of celebs that may seem more BB, Cusp, or X from Famous Birthdays, based on the widest definition of my personal transitional BooXer/Baby Buster microgeneration, b. circa 1958-1967 (UPDATED)

Just for context, in this specific post:
BB = Baby Boomer
Cusp = Cusp
X = Gen X
This is a repost from the original (which was an extension of the very original post here) that I did a few years back, just to be updated for 2024 because I thought it'd be to fun to explore this again.
But I will exclude the 1965-1967 list because that'd be way too long. I'll add them in the comment sections. So in this post, I'll focus on the celebrities born from 1958-1964.
I know the vast majority of this sub will disagree but I'll post it anyway.
This is based on the vibes and/or appearance of the celebrity so please don't take this too seriously as this may or may not be accurate, depending on one's view of Boomers and Gen X.

2024.04.08 17:41 lakewanderer082 4/8/2024 -- News You Should Know In The Twin Cities

Today is April 8thth.
Here is what’s happening in the Twin Cities.

Officers Punished For Misconduct in Aftermath of George Floyd’s Murder

The Summary: Newly released disciplinary files reveal misconduct by Minneapolis police officers during the city's riot response following George Floyd's murder in 2020.
Incident Summaries:
- Use of Force Against Journalists: A sergeant was terminated for pepper-spraying a Vice reporter displaying press credentials.
- Excessive Force Against Protesters: Eight officers were suspended for using excessive force, failing to de-escalate encounters, or neglecting to activate body-worn cameras during protests.
- Another officer was fired for beating Jaleel Stallings, an Army veteran, during curfew enforcement.
Post-George Floyd: The new report comes on the heals of city leaders announcing the completion of its emergency management goals set in the wake of Floyd's murder.

9+ Companies Plan to Replace UbeLyft — Meanwhile, Lyft Is Now Open To Negotiations

The Summary: According to MPR, Lyft has recently communicated to the Minneapolis City Council a willingness to comply with a state-recommended pay increase for drivers.
Proposal: Lyft’s chief policy officer, Jeremy Bird, proposed a pay increase aligned with state suggestions — a rate that is lower than the proposed ordinance put forward by the Mpls city council. The state rate comes from a recent labor department report.
Council Response: Council Member Robin Wonsley emphasized the city's commitment to its minimum wage policy, stating that exemptions for large corporations are unwarranted. Other council members, including Andrea Jenkins, are open to reconsidering the ordinance to ensure drivers earn at least the minimum wage.
Entry of Alternatives: 9+ companies have expressed a desire to enter the Twin Cities market as replacements for Uber and Lyft should they leave on May 1st. Read all about these different companies in this Minnesota Reformer article.

Business

Sea Salt Expansion: Accoridng to Axios, Sea Salt is set to open a new sandwich shop called The Sandwich Room at Minnehaha Falls in May, offering cold sandwiches and other grab-and-go options to park visitors. Sea Salt is set to open on April 19th.
Open Streets Uncertainty: Open Streets Minneapolis is facing uncertainty as only three out of five planned street festivals have organizers confirmed, with events scheduled for Lyndale, Nicollet, and West Broadway avenues. The city's decision to end its partnership with Our Streets Minneapolis has led to challenges in finding new organizers.
Newspaper Closures: Southwest News Media will cease publishing newspapers by the end of the month due to revenue challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The closures include publications such as the Chaska Herald, Chanhassen Villager, Jordan Independent, Shakopee Valley News, Prior Lake American, Savage Pacer, and Southwest Saturday.

Broadcast Legend Retires: A familiar voice is stepping down from the Gopher Hockey broadcast booth. After 35+ years calling games, Frank Mazzocco has retired.

2024.02.23 16:06 lakewanderer082 2/23/2024 -- News You Should Know In The Twin Cities

Today is February 23rd, 2024.
Are you kidding me with this weather forecast? Time to break out the swim trunks.
Here is what’s happening in the Twin Cities.

Details Emerge In Shooting of Burnsville Cops and Medic

The Summary: New details have come out from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension regarding the shooting that left two Brunsville cops and one medic dead.
What we know: Authorities responded to a sexual assault allegation at the Burnsville home shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday. Upon arrival, officers conversed with the suspect Shannon Gooden, who declined to vacate the premises, saying that he was unarmed and had children present inside.
Gooden's Actions: Despite negotiations lasting approximately three-and-a-half hours, Gooden opened fire without warning, firing over 100 rifle rounds at police. After barricading himself inside the home, Gooden died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Previous Allegations: Court records highlighted previous allegations of physical and emotional abuse by Gooden toward the mothers of his children.

My season rankings with descriptions
Here is my ranking, the descriptions are pretty long so the seasons that i cant finish will be in the comments.

#45. Thailand
I actually think this season is actually better than I remember, but I just remember being so bored watching it. Like, it doesn't even sound that on paper with people like Clay and Helen making the final 4, who were both really great characters. I didn't even mind the Ted and Ghandia drama that much despite the ickiness surrounding it. But it's probably just the really boring pagonging that harms this season so much. Though, Robb’s arc of being a douche to a really wholesome person out of nowhere is so much fun. And Shii Ann’s arc of being on the outs of her tribe, flipping, then getting screwed by the fake merge is pretty fun to watch too. But everyone else is quite boring and just not very fun characters.

#44. The Australian Outback
Jerri kind of just carries this season. Pretty much all of the fun moments are because of her. (Kel and the beef jerky, the Colby/Jerry showmance, Hershey’s bar) Other than that, there’s the Alicia and Kimmi fight, Kimmi in general, Skupin and the pig, and Skupin falling in the fire. But that’s pretty much it. I mean, an Elizabeth and a Varner were pretty fun presences also, but this season just gets really boring towards the end. Like, the stretch of episodes after Jerri’s boot is insanely boring, probably the most boring stretch of episodes in the show’s history. Though, the pre-merge is pretty good, but I think the post-merge matters a lot more than the pre-merge to determine how good the season is and the post-merge of this season sucks.

#43. One World
I would now consider all seasons from this point a good survivor season. Even this one. I think the pre-merge of this season is actually pretty entertaining. I don’t think people realise how much characters like Colton help the season. Because when he was on screen, the season was genuinely really entertaining. Like, the fact he convinced the entire tribe to give up immunity is so fun to watch. Say what you want about him, but after he leaves, the season gets a lot more boring. But even then, Troyzan is an amazing character, and the season gets a lot more boring after he leaves. And even then, Tarzan is also an incredible character, and Kat is pretty fun to watch also. Jonas was also a really fun presence on this season. So, this season has it’s characters, but watching Kim dominate the entire game is really really boring and really harms the season, plus the rest of the cast is also pretty boring.

#42. Redemption Island
The first few episodes of this season are incredible. The Francesca, Matt and Russell boots are really fun to watch. And Stephenie is another amazing pre-merge character. But the post-merge is where the season starts to become a slog. It starts off great with the 2nd Matt boot, but then another pagoning happens. Though, I don’t think the characters in the pagoning are that bad. David, Julie, Ralph and Steve all had their moments, and I also kinda like the clear split between the two tribes. It just feels very different from other pagongings. Speaking of the pagonging, watching Boston Rob dominate the game is much more entertaining than Kim. It’s actually kinda fun to watch. And lastly, Phillip is a phenomenal character, he kind of carries this season from an entertainment standpoint. I also didn’t mind rice wars that much, it added some much needed drama for the season. But the season’s still a pagonging, and still pretty boring.

#41. Ghost Island
Up to the Chris Noble boot episode, this season is amazing. But the problem is, after that, it sucks. But let’s talk about the pre-merge. This season would have been so much better if the pre-merge boots made it further. Gonzalez was a really good first boot. Jacob Derwin was such a fun mess to watch. Morgan’s blindside was incredible. Brenden and James were great. Stephanie was a really fun character. Bradley could have been a fun villain. The boot order of this season is absolutely terrible. And despite how fun the Chris boot was, he probably would have saved the season if he made it further. But I guess Dom and Wendell were a great duo to watch, and the tie final vote was a great ending to this season. And characters like Kellyn and Donathon weren’t bad. And I don’t hate the twist of the season, though it probably should have been a returning season given the theme.

#40. 41
I could see the argument for this being the worst season. Because this just isn’t Survivor. The amount of twists in all these new era seasons make it so much worse to watch, plus the 26 days and the overall kumbuya-ness of the seasons. Now onto the actual season. I think that this actually has the best cast out of the new era seasons. I just think the boot order sucked. Like, JD, Brad and Genie were really great characters in the pre-merge. The whole Ua storyline is really fun to watch. Then in the early merge section, we lose Sydney, Tiffany, Naseer, Evvie, Shan and Liana one by one by one who were all great characters. I think Sydney is the best casting in the new era so far. Her boot tribal I think is one of the best ever. And Shan was such a fun presence this season. Her blindside episode is actually really good, and not just for the new era. But this leaves us with a really underwhelming final 6, with only Ricard and Deshawn bringing the entertainment. Erika’s also a quite boring winner. So yeah, that’s this season.

#39. 43
Gabler winning is probably the best thing to happen in the new era so far. He was just such a fun, kooky character and I think is much better than the boring Jesse win the fans wanted. But now let’s get to the bad parts. The pre-merge was boring, Cody, Gabler, Elie and Geo stop it from being a total snoozefest, but it’s still pretty bad. Though, I think this season actually has a decent boot order. Jeanine, Sami, Noelle, James, Karla, Cassidy, Owen and Jesse were all good characters. Not great, but good. Though the James and Owen fight was amazing and the new era needs more of that. And as I said before, Gabler and Cody were amazing characters and Jesse’s betrayal is an all time great moment. But it’s still a new era season and has many flaws that I said before.

#38. 44
I actually think this season was decently entertaining the whole way through. But it’s mainly just because of the Tika 3. Yam Yam and Carolyn are all time great characters, and not just for the new era either. But aside from the three, the cast is alright. Like, Danny, Jaime, Matt, Frannie and Matthew were fine. And I really liked Josh. But everyone else was pretty boring. This season also just feels very, like, nice and just has good vibes, which I’m not a fan of. Though, the Tika 3 storyline is great and Yam Yam’s a great winner.

#37. 42
Yeah, you’ve noticed the pattern now. I don’t like the new era that much. Although, this season probably one of the better casts of the new era. And the boot order is quite good too. But the season doesn’t really have a standout character like a Carolyn or Shan. I actually think Daniel was the best character of the season. If the new era wants to keep casting superfans, I think casting people like Daniel are the best way to do so. He was such a fun mess. He was the reason why the Jenny boot tribal was so good. But in general I think the pre-merge was pretty boring. But the post-merge is better. Chanelle was also a fun mess to watch. Rocksroy was a really fun and unique character, Tori was a really fun presence, Hai and Drea and their boots were great. Omar’s blindside was really fun to watch. Even people like Jonathon and Romeo were alright characters. And Maryanne and Mike were great characters the whole way through. So, this cast has good characters, but it still has the new era-ness feeling of the season which still sucks.

#36. 45
I used to think this was a lot better than the other new era seasons, but now I rank it around the same. This is the worst cast of the new era to me. But it’s somehow the best season. I actually think the first three boots were three of the better characters this season, even Sean I’d say was a better character than most of the cast. Like, I found Brando really boring, Sifu disappointed me by how little he did, Kellie was extremely boring, (loved her vote out reaction though) Kendra was just annoying, and even Dee and Austin were pretty boring to me. Though I do think the one saving grace of this season is Bruce, not Emily. He was just so fun to watch with everyone straight up hating him. His and Katurah’s feud was also really fun. And also, Jake was really fun towards the end of the season and Kaleb’s SITD was an all time great moment. Though, I want to talk about Emily. I think episode 1 Emily is by far the best thing the new era has ever had. I take big Gabler’s win. Episode 1 Emily was the closest thing we’ve had to a true villain coming back on the show and it was amazing. And I know people like her growth arc, but I found her quite boring after Sabiyah’s boot. That’s all. I think the 60 minute episodes hard carried this season though, and would probably be the worst new era season if not for it. (eh, maybe better than 41.) The Sabiyah and Julie votes were good, and this season does a lot of things right that the other new era seasons didn't have like an intro and an auction. But it's not enough for it to be out of this new era tier.

#35. Cook Islands
I know people either love or hate this season, and I guess I’m towards the hate side. I just feel like people only love this season because it brought back Parvati, when in fact, she wasn’t even that good in this season. But anyways, this season’s alright. The story of this season is incredible, with the Aitu 4 actually being the final 4. Although, I think from the final 7 onwards, the season becomes pretty boring, with the Aitu 4 already having the majority. The fire making is an all time great moment, though. I also think this cast kinda sucks. Other than Yul, Ozzy, Penner, Nate, Cao Boi and Billy, the rest of the cast is terrible. Like, really bad. Maybe I’m a bit harsh but this season has a lot of duds, like over half the cast. Overall, the season’s fine, pretty boring but at least it’s better than the new era.

#34. Caramoan
The pre merge is bad, really bad. Especially the fans tribe. Although, I don’t mind Shamar that much, he is a pretty entertaining character. And I also really like the Brandon and Phillip feud, I really like the impromptu meltdown tribal because it felt so unique. Though, one good thing about the season is all the boring characters get out pre-merge, leaving for a pretty entertaining post merge. Corinne was great as always, the 3 amigo tribal is up there for one the best, Phillip was also amazing as always, Malcolm, Eddie and Reynold were all really fun presences on this season. The season definitely falls off after the Malcolm boot. But even then, the Andrea and Brenda boots were great. Erik and Brenda were huge disappointments though. But Cochran’s a good winner and his arc was pretty fun to watch from his last season. And Dawn kind of playing a Russell Hantz type of game is quite fun to watch too, though, she’s a lot less entertaining than him.

#33. All-Stars
This is just a very underwhelming season. Having all the winners and actual all-stars get booted out early is a disappointment. It’s also just becomes a very dark season towards the end, and also just gets pretty boring with another alliance just dominating. Though, the Romber storyline across the whole season is amazing. Boston Rob is always a great character whenever he’s on screen, so that kind of helps the darkness of the season. His and Lex’s interactions are amazing during Lex’s boot episode. But the pre-merge isn’t much better. Sue’s and Jenna’s exits aren’t very fun to watch. Though there are some fun moments. I really liked the mixer challenge, and character’s like Rob C, Ethan, Colby and Jerri were fun for the short moments they were there. And Rich is hilarious as always. And Shii Ann was the one bright spot of the season, her immunity win is one of the best of all time. And even though I complained about how dark the season gets, I really like the final tribal council.

#32. Game Changers
This is kind of like all-stars, except that the pre-merge is genuinely amazing. Tony’s 2 episode arc is hilarious to watch. Malcolm’s boot tribal is one of the craziest ever. JT being a mess this season is so fun to watch. The sugar drama is incredible. Debbie’s meltdown is TV gold. And Sandra was still her amazing self. But that’s pretty much where the good ends. The Varner thing sucked. And the post-merge is pretty bad. Having all the actual game changers get out pre-merge leaves for just a boring post-merge. Ozzy was a huge disappointment, Hali did nothing, Debbies and Sierra were fine, Zeke didn’t do much, Andrea didn’t do much, Michaela was a pretty great character, but her boot tribal was more confusing than entertaining. And I actually really like Cirie’s vote out though, I think it’s dumb, but the fact it happened on Cirie I think makes it great. Other than that, Aubry didn’t do much, Sarah, Brad and Troyzan were a quite boring final 3, and Tai was fine. Yeah, this season gets carried hard by the pre-merge.

#31. Borneo
This season is a million times better than the Outback for me. The merge vote is still one of the best in the show's history. Rich, Sue and Rudy are all top tier characters. I think I might be underrating this season a bit, because I don’t really remember pretty much anything entertaining happening. Like, I remember some good moments like Gervase and the cows, Kelly and Sue’s fight, BB being a great character, Greg and Colleen’s showmance?, Snakes and rats, Alphabet strategy. But I don’t really remember many other entertaining moments that don’t involve Rich, Sue and Rudy. I probably just wasn’t paying much attention when I first watched it. Though I don’t remember the pre-merge being very good, though. Also, the season is very slow paced which I’m not a big fan of. But the overall realistic and simple feel of the season is something I quite enjoy.

#30. Africa
Pretty much have the same opinion as Borneo with this season. The only good moments I remember are the auction, Lex’s breakdown, Frank/ Brandon reward, Lex/Ethan reward, and the never have I ever segment, but that’s pretty much it. Though, on paper, the merge cast seems amazing. Big Tom is an all time great character here, Ethan, Lex, T-Bird, Kelly, Brandon, Frank, Clarence were all great characters. ‘Never broken the honour of a handshake’ is an all time great quote. And the pre-merge had good characters like Silas and Lindsay. But I just don’t really remember being that entertained by this season, I think some of the very old seasons have this slow feel to them which make it pretty boring to watch. So that’s probably why this is so low. I did really love the rewards, though.

#29. Marquesas
Kind of the same as Borneo and Africa, I just don’t really remember having that much fun watching this season. Obviously the John Carrol boot is amazing, but after that, I think the season becomes really boring due to the three boring Zoe, Tammy and General boots. Kathy’s arc this season is probably one of the best ever, though. Neleh is great, and Sean is one of the best characters ever as well. The mint scene is amazing. Boston Rob, Hunter, Gina and Sarah were all great characters as well. The morning show is also an all time great character moment. The final 4 rock draw was also an amazing moment. So as the jellyfish scene. So yeah, this season has it’s good moments, but it still has the early season vibe which makes the season a little bit boring at times.

#28. Vanuatu
This season has the worst pre-merge ever. It’s just really boring. Rory and Eliza probably stop it from being downright unwatchable. But really, the first 4 boots are really boring. The mens tribe in general was really boring besides Rory. His arc is really fun to watch. Although, the season really picks up when Chris becomes the last man standing. It’s actually a really good season from then on. He has one of the best winning stories in the show’s history, and is also an amazing character. But it’s not just him. Twila was a really good character. Eliza was such an entertaining figure the whole season. Ami’s game was really fun to watch. Scout and Julie were pretty good also. So yeah, the end game of this season is incredible but it’s a really boring season until the final 7.

#27. Fiji
The pre-merge also sucks here. Having the ‘have nots’ lose over and over again is really just not fun to watch. The same thing just repeats for the whole pre-merge. And it doesn’t help that this season has a pretty weak cast. I think it’s in contention for the worst case in the whole series. A lot of the pre-merges have little to no personality. Although I did like Anthony, and I thought Rocky and Lisi brought some quite fun entertainment which the pre-merge really needed. But the post-merge is amazing. It really is. The Edgardo boot is an all time great tribal. The Yau Man and Dreamz deal is such a fun story to watch, and having Dreamz betray him in the end was such a great ending to it. Alex’s underdog run was quite fun to watch. But another problem is, other than those three, no one else provided much entertainment to the show. Earl is a pretty boring character to me. But Dreamz and Yau Man are both phenomenal characters in this season and I know this is unpopular, but I loved the final tribal council.

#26. Palau
This season’s pre-merge is amazing… On a first watch. The downfall of Ulong is obviously an amazing storyline, but I think rewatchability is a factor in these seasons and it would be really boring on a rewatch. Though, the post-merge is really good, especially from the final 6 onwards. Tom and Ian were both great characters and watching them get all the way to the end is really fun. Although, I don’t think the cast is even that good. Half the Ulong tribe were complete duds. (Everyone besides Stephenie, Bobby Jon, James, Angie and Jolanda.) and I’d say half of Koror were duds too. (Everyone besides Tom, Ian, Caryn, Katie and Coby.) But I don’t think it really affects this season that much, and Ian blowing up his game at the end is an all time great moment. But still, it was pretty entertaining on the first watch, but I don’t really want to watch this again. The theme and challenges were great, though.

#25. Guatemala
I used to be a lot lower on this season, but now I think it’s really good. The first few boots were obviously really boring, but picked up at the Blake boot where Brian was a great character there, Amy was also a fun pre-merge character. And the Margaret boot which has one of the best tribal councils in the show’s history. Judd is just an amazing character and has so many great moments this season. Though, the season falls off a bit at the early merge. Though, the Jaime/Bobby Jon feud is fantastic TV, and Gary was a fun presence on this season too. Danni’s underdog win is a great story, and characters like Stephenie, Rafe, Judd and Lydia making it far help this season.

#24. Island of the Idols
This is probably the most controversial opinion on the list. But I do stand by it. First off, I think the pre-merge is amazing. Like, every single boot is a blindside which makes for great TV. I also think Episode 6 (Jason boot) is an all time great episode. I also think this cast is incredible. Noura is an all time great character and her IOI is so much fun to watch. Kellee made for incredible TV, Jamal and Jack had great moments. Tom, Jason and Vince were great characters. Even Aaron, Elizabeth and Missy had some fun moments in the pre-merge. But obviously the Dan episode is terrible, and Dan just sucks in general, but I think the post-merge still has moments. The Missy blindside was really fun. Karishma playing her idol was a great moment, the Karishma boot tribal was insane. Dean was an amazing character and him and Noura making the final 3 was really good. Janet was a great presence on the show. Elaine was a phenomenal character throughout the whole season. This cast is honestly really good. It’s just the Dan stuff that knocks this season down a lot. And Tommy is probably the most boring winner in the show's history. I actually loved this twist as well, all the visits to Rob and Sandra were so fun to watch and I think people don’t realise how much they liked the pre-merge of this season.

#23. Panama
Post swap Casaya basically carries this season. They just have so many good moments together. Shane's blackberry, Shane smoking, Shane's genitals, Shane's apartment argument, Bruce's medevac, Courtney doing yoga on Bruce's rock thing, Bruce and Bobby drinking. There's probably much more but this would be too long. But i think the problem is the post swap lamina tribe is insanely boring, and the lamina pagonging is also pretty boring. Though Terry’s story in this season is really fun to watch, and the season really picks up from the final 7. The 321 vote is an all time great vote. Although, the season has an underwhelming ending, with Danielle and Aras being the two most boring Casaya members. But still, the seasons great and has some amazing characters.

#22. South Pacific
Then there were five is one of the best episodes of all time. The season is extremely good after the Edna vote. But let's talk about the rest of the season, which is fine. The pre merge is pretty good. We get some really great characters like Papa Bear, Stacey and Christine leaving which kinda sucks. But other than them, Ozzy is kind of the standout character pre-merge. Watching him be entitled is so fun to me, and then offering to be voted out and giving a terrible speech at the duel is such great TV. Cochran’s overall a great character here, too. As is Jim. The actual merge episode is amazing and Cochran flipping is an all time great moment. Then, the pretty boring stretch of episodes happen all the way to the Edna vote, but then the season takes off again. I know people are put off by the Christianity cult that Coach makes, but I love it. It just feels so unique compared to all other seasons. Speaking of Coach, he is still the incredible character he was in his other two seasons, despite this being his weakest appearance character wise. Ozzy’s arc in this season is one of the best one season arcs in the show's history to me. Brandon’s a great character for this season and his downfall is amazing. Albert had some good moments and Sophie’s bluntness was great to watch this season too.

#21. The Amazon
I think this is the show’s first really good season. And it’s mainly just because of Rob C. I think the pre-merge is awful, though. Like, nothing really interesting happens other than like the Dave and Jenna interactions for the tribe swap. But all the votes were pretty boring and are mainly carried by Rob and his confessionals. I liked the mixer challenge, though. But the post merge is amazing. And it’s still mainly because of Rob. From the Deena boot, the season is like a top tier season. Rob flipping every round makes for such great TV, and combined with him being an amazing character makes for such an entertaining post-merge. But it’s not only just Rob. Matthew and the machete is a great scene. Heidi and Jenna stripping is an all time great moment. The shelter burning down was great. In summary, really good post-merge, terrible pre-merge.

#20. Nicaragua
I don't understand people who love Gabon but hate this, because this season is such a fun mess. From an entertainment standpoint, Fabio is one of the best winners ever. But let's talk about the season from start to finishh. I think the season starts off great. Wendy Jo was a great character and first boot. Her tribal is so fun to watch. Holly’s meltdown and throwing Dan’s shoes into the water is an all time great moment. Shannon’s downfall was really satisfying and also fun to watch. Jimmy Johnson is a fantastic pre-merge character and his dynamic with Jimmy T was so fun to watch. Jimmy T’s short arc is one of the best pre-merges storylines ever. Tyrone was also an amazing character who could have been a great villain had he made it further. Marty was an all time great character. He was such a chaotic player who made for such great TV. Naonka is another all-time great character. Her picking fights with literally everyone is so much fun to watch. Jane’s one sided hate towards Marty is also amazing to watch. Brenda was also a fantastic villainous figure for this season. But sadly, Mary, Brenda and Naonka leave one after another at the merge, which harms this season’s endgame. The double quit was really fun to watch, though. Holly’s face turn and Jane’s heel turnt this season are both incredible to watch. Jane putting out the fire is amazing TV. And Dan making it as far as he did and him having some great moments is also great. Though, Chase and Sash aren’t very interesting to watch. But Fabio is a phenomenal character and a perfect winner for this season.

#19. Cambodia
I used to love this season, like it was in my top 5. But I have realised like a lot of fans that this season just doesn’t have many fun moments. Like, it’s definitely not boring, due to the heavy amount of gameplay that takes place. But I think it lacks what makes a top tier Survivor season, which are the character moments. I think Abi just carries the season whenever she’s on screen, especially pre-merge. And Keith was great too. But losing some of the non-gamebotty people pre-merge like Peih-gee, Varner and Woo I think harms the season. But obviously the Savage blindside is an all time great blindside, Wentworth’s run this season is amazing. Also, the Ciera vote was pretty good and the Fishbach one was great. And the no votes tribal was amazing too. So this season has great gameplay moments, but lacks the character interactions

#18. Winners at War
I think I might be underrating this season a bit, because I do think it’s a decently entertaining season the whole way. It’s just more disappointing than anything. It just sucks losing all these old-schoolers one after another until they’re all gone. And i also think these old-schoolers are some of the better characters this season, such as an Ethan, Rob, Parvati, Sandra, Tyson, Yul. Like, these would have been great characters had they made it far. Because in the post-merge we’re only left with like Tony, Michele and I guess Ben for entertainment. This probably has the worst boot order in the show’s history. But I do think Tony is one of the best characters of all time, and him winning this season is a great ending to it. The sophie boot episode is still one of the best ever. Adam pretty much carried the season when he was on screen. He was such a fun character. Him and Ben’s feud is underappreciated by how fun it was. And there still are some fun moments in the season. Ethan’s vote off was fun, Sandra’s blindside was amazing, Rob’s downfall was really great to watch, Adam’s tribal was really entertaining, 2nd Tyson vote was really fun, Kim’s blindside was great. So this season does have some great moments. I also think the edge harms this season quite a bit. And it is pretty much a Tony steamroll from the post-merge on which is kinda underwhelming. Fire tokens were kind of fun but would probably be a better season without it.

#17. Tocantins
I don't really get people who think this is top tier. Because I think the premerge was pretty boring. But Tyson and Coach kind of save it with them being great characters. And the season picks up quite a bit at the merge, well after the Joe medevac. The Brenden blindside is amazing. Coach is the best casting choice in the show's history and probably the best character in the show's history in this season. The martyr approach is the best episode ever. Tyson was also a top tier character in this season and his blindside was so fun to watch. His dynamic with Sierra was really entertaining. JT, Stephen, Errin and Taj and great characters and them making it all the way to the end is a perfect ending to the season. Overall, it’s a decently entertaining season the whole way thanks to Tyson and Coach.

#16. China
This probably seems low, but I feel like it suffers a bit from Todd’s alliance pretty much dominating the whole game. Like, after the James vote, the vote offs are pretty boring. But, the characters are incredible and make up for the lack of interesting gameplay. This has one of the best newbie casts of all time. Todd is a great character and winner. Courtney is an all time great character here. Peih Gee was a great underdog character here. James is another all time great character and his blindside is up there for one of the best. Jean-Robert is a fantastic villain for this season and his blindside was very satisfying. Even Erik and Jaime had their moments. Character wise, this season is incredible. Even pre-merge the characters are still good. Dave is an all time great pre-merge character. Chicken’s one of the best first boots. Aaron’s vote out was very fun to watch. This season is just consistently really good but I don’t agree with people saying it’s one of the best. I really like the location and China-based challenges though.

#15. Edge of Extinction
Chris winning was the best outcome of this season. I think, unlike WAW, the edge makes this season better. Reem is someone who would have just been a standard first boot, but the edge makes her get much more screen time and turns out to be an incredible character. I also think this cast is fantastic, there are so many fun personalities this season. Wendy was a fun, chaotic player. Keith was fun as well. Chris’s first vote out was really fun. Aubry’s blindside was amazing to watch. Aurora, Ron, Victoria, Lauren, Wentworth and David were great in this season, too. And I don’t really mind how most of these people got underedited because the winner comes back in the final episode and takes down the final boss of the season in Devens, who received most of the screen time and sets up the story of the season very well. And speaking of Devens, he is an all time great character here. Watching him survive round after round is so fun to watch and him getting taken out in the end is a great end to his arc. Wardog was an incredible character here, too. The Julia boot tribal is one of the greatest of all time. The finale episode is one of the best of all time and Chris’s game is so fun to watch there. So, I get why people don't really like this season but from an entertainment standpoint, it's amazing.

#14. Millennials VS Gen X
I think this season is really strong. But I think it suffers from the same reason as Cambodia, where it’s pretty gamebotty at times. And I don’t think the pre-merge is very strong. We lose a lot of no name characters like Rachel, Paul, CeCe, and Lucy. Though, I think the Lucy tribal is very strong. Figgy and Taylor were a bright spot of this pre-merge, and her blindside was really great. Michaela’s blindside is an all time great pre-merge blindside and has one of the best reactions in the show’s history. The start of David’s arc begins here and is still a great character here. But I think the season really picks up post-merge. A lot of the more entertaining personalities make it quite far like Adam, Jay and David, and we get a lot more character moments such as the Adam and Jay hammock scene and the Bret/Zeke scene. The Taylor tribal was fun. Will flipping was great. And the rock draw is an all time great moment. And the finale is also one of the best in the show’s history. So, the later half of this season is great but the pre-merge drags it down a bit.

#13. Blood vs Water
I used to like this season a lot more. But it’s kind of like China where it’s pretty much an alliance steamroll in the post-merge. Though, the rock draw tribal is really entertaining and one of the best ever. I also think the pre-merge is pretty good. Brad pretty much carries the entertainment aspect of the pre-merge. It’s so fun to watch everyone’s hate towards him and his tribal is one of the best pre-merge tribals ever. I haven’t really talked about the redemption island twist yet but I do think it made all the seasons better, despite it being a pretty bad twist. And that combined with the blood vs water theme makes it even better to watch. Rupert got out in a very fun way and this is also Candice’s best season character wise, and Tina too. The Aras/Vytas dynamic is pretty fun to watch. Colton was still the same entertaining character. The Caleb vote was really strong. Hayden and Ciera became great characters towards the end. And Tyson is still the same fantastic character and him winning was a great ending to the season.

#12. San Juan Del Sur
I think the general consensus of this season is that it has a bad pre-merge, but great post-merge. And I kind of disagree. I don’t think the pre-merge is as bad as people say it is. The Drew Christy episode is one of the best pre-merge episodes in the show’s history. The John Rocker blindside is really fun. Val was a great character. The Josh/Keith exile scene was fun. And the blood vs water theme is still good. But the post-merge is amazing, one of the best in the show’s history. The Josh and Jeremy blindsides were both pretty strong, and Natalie’s revenge arc after Jeremy gets voted out is one of the best winning stories ever. Plus most of the entertaining characters make it pretty far which help this season. Baylor and Missy were really fun characters to root against. The ‘stick to the plan’ is an all time great one. Natalie switching her vote from Keith to Alec is really fun to watch. The Jon blindside is incredible. The Baylor blindside was even better. It’s just an overall really good season with an amazing post-merge.

#11. Gabon
This season is probably the messiest season of Survivor we will ever get and it’s amazing. The Fang tribe is one of the most entertaining tribes ever by how much of a disaster they are. There are just so many incredible character moments in the pre-merge like Fang voting off their strongest member first, the Michele/Kenny scenes, GC being leader than quitting a day later, GC leaving before the challenge, Krystal spilling rice, Eat yo rice, Matty/Charlie/Randy challenge, Sugar shack, Marcus throwing idol into the ocean, and probably much more. And this is all just the pre-merge. Cookie-gate is a hilarious story in the season. Randy is a top tier character, Corinne had really entertaining moments, Krystal failing every challenge was TV gold. Kenny’s arc in this season is amazing. Sugar pretty much controlling the game is crazy. Ace, Gillian and Dan were great pre-merge characters. Corinne’s jury speech is an all time great moment. Bob winning the season is a perfect ending to it. This final 3 was perfect for this season. This doesn’t really affect the season’s ranking but location and challenges are amazing. It’s just a really messy season that is so fun to watch the whole way through. But I think the problem is the fact there isn’t very much gameplay happening makes it so you can’t have these top tier moments like Parvati’s double idol play or the John Morrison blindside which I think are needed to make seasons even better.

2024.02.11 22:01 Simmers2021 Las 10 mejores parejas en series

Hola a todos.
Como se está acercando el Día de San Valentín, les quise traer las 10 mejores parejas vistas en series.
Ahora sin más demoras, comencemos.

10. Jim y Pam de ¨The Office¨

¿Es posible que su relación sea la más adorable de la historia de la televisión? Lo es. Jim y Pam de 'The Office' forman una de las mejores parejas de la televisión. Ambos son como la mantequilla de maní y el chocolate, son uno para el otro.

9. Billy y Frank de ¨The Lost of Us¨

Hasta en mundos distópicos donde personas infectadas acechan por todos los frentes, hay espacio para el amor. Así nos lo demostraron Bill y Frank, con su gran historia de amor en ¨The Lost of Us¨. La adaptación del videojuego está siendo un éxito y esta pareja inesperada nos ha robado el corazón.

8. Mulder y Scully de ¨The X-files¨

Inventaron aquello de la "tensión sexual no resuelta". Eran su uno entre cinco billones, y tardaron siglos en complacer a sus fans con su amor, aunque les duró un suspiro. Como demostraron los mejores capítulos de los Expedientes X, su química era de otro mundo.

7. Willow y Tara de ¨Buffy, cazavampiros¨

Su amor fue mágico, trágico, y revolucionario: Willow y Tara de 'Buffy, cazavampiros' marcaron a toda una generación con su romance. En especial porque el tema de la homosexualidad no era muy tocado a finales de los 90 y principios de los 2000, incluso si en series para adultos.

6. Doug y Carol de ¨Emergencias¨

Carol iba a morir en el piloto de 'Emergencias'. Menos mal que no lo hizo, porque nos hubiéramos perdido una de esas relaciones que hacen historia. Los dos son tal para cual y se merecen todo lo bueno en sus vidas.

5. Philip y Elizabeth de ¨The Americans¨

Del amor al odio hay un matrimonio y, en su caso, uno de mentira. Eso sí, cómo se cuidan nuestros espías soviéticos favoritos es todo un regalo para la vista (y un problema para nuestros nervios).

4. Anthony y Edwina de ¨Los Bridgerton¨

Siguiendo la pista de la primera, en la segunda tiró más por llevar la tensión sexual hasta límites insospechados gracias al mayor de los hermanos y el personaje de Edwina. Aún así Anthony y Edwina demostraron que el amor era mucho más fuerte.

3. Connell y Marianne de ¨Normal People¨

Ahora tanto Paul Mescal (con su nominación al Oscar) como Daisy Edgar-Jones son actores consolidados. Su historia de amor como Connell y Marianne ayudó mucho a ese encumbramiento.

2. Mitch y Cam de ¨Modern Family¨

Estereotipos aparte y obstáculos socioculturales de por medio, la relación entre Mitch y Cam ha sido un importante ejemplo en la televisión americana que no debemos ignorar. Está pareja gay se a convertido en un icono de la cultura moderna.

1. Castle y Beckett de ¨Castle¨

Se dice que los opuestos se atraen y Castle y Beckett son la prueba viva de ello. Con cada uno complementando al otro y demostrando de que el amor puede florecer de muchas formas diferentes.
Y hasta aquí el top.
¿Qué les pareció?
¿Me falto mencionar alguna pareja?
Por favor déjenmelo saber en los comentarios y no olviden darle un voto a favor a este hilo.
Muchas gracias 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Hunter Biden has a tattoo of the Finger Lakes on his back, where a number of his shell companies are also named after lakes in the Finger Lakes. Skaneatles is one example.

In this overview, we also see Aqaba International, LLC, RSP Holdings, LLC, Transatlantic Energy Group, Rosemont Seneca Advisors, Tadich Grill, and Eudora Global, LLC.
https://i.imgur.com/hUb4AWH.png
Rosemont Seneca advisors are shown to be connected to Robinson Walker LLC, owned by Rob Walker, former federal official. Shanghai-based State Energy HK Ltd, which is affiliated with CEFC, paid into Rob Walker’s LLC.
CEFC was due to pay $9 billion for a 14.2 per cent stake in Russian state-owned energy company Rosneft, as well as a 5-billion-euro loan deal with Russian state-owned VTB Bank to finance the purchase. This proves the nexus of US, Chinese and Russian corruption; a three-sided treason.

CARACAS' VIEW OF SMARTMATIC AND ITS VOTING MACHINES
The Venezuelan-owned Smartmatic Corporation is a riddle both in ownership and operation, complicated by the fact that its machines have overseen several landslide (and contested) victories by President Hugo Chavez and is supporters. The electronic voting company went from a small technology startup to a market player in just a few years, catapulted by its participation in the August 2004 recall referendum. Smartmatic has claimed to be of U.S. origin, but its true owners -- probably elite Venezuelans of several political strains -- remain hidden behind a web of holding companies in the Netherlands and Barbados. The Smartmatic machines used in Venezuela are widely suspected of, though never proven conclusively to be, susceptible to fraud. The company is thought to be backing out of Venezuelan electoral events, focusing now on other parts of world, including the United States via its subsidiary, Sequoia. End Summary.

You’re comparing two tiny areas that are very homogenous, very similar to each other, across the street from each other, and the thing that differs from these two, for the absentee ballots, is where the ballots were counted.

Jan 6 Was A Staged Media Narrative To Cover For The Stolen Election

Objectively comparing the Jan 6 incident with the BLM riots, and we see a clear double standard in reporting.

  1. Plainclothes militants. Militant, aggressive men in Donald Trump and MAGA gear at a front police line at the base of the temporary presidential inaugural platform;
  2. Agents-provocateurs. Scattered groups of men exhorting the marchers to gather closely and tightly toward the center of the outside of the Capitol building and prevent them from leaving;
  3. Fake Trump protesters. A few young men wearing Trump or MAGA hats backwards and who did not fit in with the rest of the crowd in terms of their actions and demeanor, whom I presumed to be Antifa or other leftist agitators; and Disciplined, uniformed column of attackers. A column of organized, disciplined men, wearing similar but not identical camouflage uniforms and black gear, some with helmets and GoPro cameras or wearing subdued Punisher skull patches.

The Shill/Astroturfing Response

The standard response of shills to most of this has been repetition of outdated outrage... suspiciously terrible and suspiciously popular takes:
I. Crying about Trump. The crybabies dishonestly attempt to insert "false equivalency" and "slide" arguments regarding Trump or Trump Jr. or Jared Kushner. They are off topic responses designed to limit discussion on Biden corruption.
II. Crying that Hunter Biden did not hold office. Voicemails, email, business transactions, wiring transfer orders, text messages and news reporting all confirm that Hunter Biden is involved in policy, domestic and abroad, bribery, domestic and abroad, and is involved with US defense contractors and works under Bohai Harvest specifically for the interest of China's state-owned interests, where the interest is specifically stated (with pictures) that China wants American resources. Hunter Biden is a traitor. Hunter Biden sees no problem selling out a billion in US tax payer dollars for a few night with crack and hookers. Hunter Biden sees no problem selling out American resources to China for a few nights with crack and hookers.
III. Focusing on Hunter Biden's genitals. We understand that the unemployed moderators and jannies across the Internet are gay. They are obsessed with Hunter Biden's private parts. They use this to distract from the corruption, because they are desperate to defend a drug addled pedo because they religiously serve a political agenda that seeks to enslave the world with authoritarianism. Because these mods and jannies have no leg to stand to defend this, they project and accuse fervent researchers of wanting to look at Hunter Biden dick pics.
IV. State actors are pushing disinformation and misinformation. There are 3 pictures that have been making the rounds that are intentional disinformation:
1) Natalie Biden with cocaine on her nose. It's not Natalie. Sure, it's a striking resemblance, but it's verified as being a cam girl. The shills use this to say "the data is fake" but, really, their argument is what's fake. Anyone with the data knows this picture isn't real.
2) Joe Biden with asian girl. This is actually a BDSM video from xvideos that has been around for years. The face of the old man is clearly visible in portions of the video and is, in fact, not Joe Biden. Shills love to use this type of disinfo to muddy the waters.
3) Hunter Biden with five young girls. This is not Hunter Biden, as Hunter Biden has never sported a black soul patch. Shills are using this to poison the well and distract from the corruption.
Other tactics, in this realm, include misnaming Natalie as Hallie, misnaming Zoe as Natalie and intentionally getting facts wrong to confuse everyone so that they can them claim falsehoods are being spread around as an excuse to censor information.
V. Blatant Censorship. Suppression is occurring where the news is ignoring the data. The news is in on it, showing that they can't be trusted and serve the liberal agenda. Big Tech is also in on it. But outright bans, deletions, harassment and death threats are happening to people who share the most damning stuff. This is why it is important to saturate the Internet with proof.

Trying to Converse About Politics on the Internet is the Most Kafkaesque Activity You Can Experience

Reddit has become truly Kafkaesque. I went on a test run of trying to post Hunter Biden information in many communities on Reddit. Every single one has developed a special set of rules that allows them to delete whatever they want. Moderators use these overly specific requirements to censor what they don’t like and allow what they do like; a double standard of the application of their own rules. Here are some examples of what happens when you try to post information about Hunter Biden.
Permanently banned for “Russian Disinformation.”

Permanently banned by a site that is half sex tapes, for violating TOS from “leaked sex tapes.” In fact, it was just the faces of the women in the tapes, with no NSFW content.

This, supposedly, “right wing” subreddit does not want you sharing information about Hunter Biden.

This community, supposedly politically neutral, doesn’t want to discuss OSINT techniques regarding Hunter Biden’s data. OSINT doesn’t actually let you discuss OSINT meaningfully.

No explanation for these permanent bans.

Shill Groups

1) Paid actors: One group is upvotes.club. They aren't politically aligned; they merely get paid. Reddit accounts are bought and sold, upvotes and downvotes are bought and sold. Posts and comments are bought and sold. This group operates on many platforms.

They even create cut outs that work for US Intelligence and make fake threat reports to villainize people who want to share information about political corruption in the US. SITE Intelligence Group, for example, pretends to be "online extremists" to justify censorship and submit threat reports on their own astroturfing to the US Government painting certain groups as "domestic terrorists". In fact, SITE Intelligence Group are foreign terrorists who have weaponized the Internet against Americans in order to terrorize them.

What About Jared Kushner?
Shills love "Whataboutisms", invoking off topic, old news as a form of strawman argument that has zero relevance to the topic they are attacking.
Either way, I think you will find most Trump voters are not a fan of Jared Kushner.
The "Alt-Right" consider Kushner an Israeli spy.
Donald Trump’s Jewish son-in-law and Israeli spy Jared Kushner is reportedly involved in the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus situation. That’s at least according to the Jewish media, which is detailing how the Jew Kushner was soliciting suggestions on how to handle the crisis.
https://archive.ph/rmCak
The conspiracy community labeled him a secret society weirdo long before he married Ivanka. This nuked thread explains that he is the head of the Illuminati.
https://archive.ph/vT0FQ
So... what about Kushner? Nobody likes him and nobody would cry if he was locked up; probably not even Trump, himself.
In fact, Jared Kushner and Hunter Biden are perfectly aligned in their interest in virus intelligence via Metabiota, EcoHealth Alliance and the PREDICT Program that started it all.
https://i.imgur.com/5P1OdTb.jpg
What Palantir is to the CIA, Metabiota is to the USDA.
https://i.imgur.com/6j86QCd.png
Shills can give up the false equivalencies and can hate Jared and Hunter equally, because they seem perfectly aligned in their missions.

This is what a “Hunter Biden General” thread looks like when it isn’t immediately deleted. At the time of writing this, the landscaping is changing, but the topic of Hunter Biden is still being suppressed in a lot of measurable ways.
Conservative subreddits have spent the last two years avoiding Hunter Biden data like the plague, as well as conservative news outlets. Only know, that the data is dripping out, is that starting to change. It took two years and massive data dumps straight into email inboxes of every "journalist" in the country. The Q movement shut down in order to avoid any research being done on the subject. This issue is only gaining steam because of the demand of the average person to know more.
Just remember, Hunter Biden and Tucker Carlson are friends. Hunter even asks Tucker to run interference for him on news stories.
Hunter's lawyer also runs interference with news outlets like the New York Times.

Lies About the October Surprise

Some of you may recall that the first leak was purportedly the abandoned laptop where the data was given out in October of 2020.
This leak was summarily dismissed as being "Russian Disinformation" by US Intelligence. They lied. They manipulated the news, social media and used a tremendous amount of Internet astroturfing to accomplish this to cover for corruption. They belong in jail. It is treason. Enabling these people has a direct impact on your life and your wealth.
Former CIA Agent John Sipher says he was proud to sway the election away from Trump with the “Hunter Biden Laptop Letter”. He is also a fellow at The Atlantic Council, of which Burisma was a 250k a year donor. You do the math.
Politico's KYLE CHENEY, NATASHA BERTRAND and ANDREW DESIDERIO were first at bat to blatantly lie to you. Take note, you cannot trust Politico about anything as a result of their disinformation.
https://archive.ph/jmcrg
Politico published lies when it stated:
No evidence has emerged, beyond the purported correspondence, that the former VP was involved in or profited from his son’s overseas work or abused his position to support it.
We have hundreds of emails that prove this is a false statement, pictures, videos, and even a voicemail from Joe Biden, himself. This was all on the laptop.
It’s not totally clear. The New York Post, which published the first installments of the leaked emails, claimed they proved Joe Biden met with an adviser to Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where Hunter Biden was a board member. But the emails alone don’t substantiate the claim.
It is perfectly clear, based on a single picture that was heavily censored by Big Tech, that Politico lies.
https://i.imgur.com/8ExSAfm.png
But there is no evidence that Hunter Biden ever struck a deal with the Chinese company, let alone that his father got a cut—income from China does not appear in Biden’s tax returns, including from the year of the alleged transaction.
Politico lies about the Hunter Biden Chinese influence peddling because, in 2020, we already knew all about Bohai Harvest, Rosemont Seneca and the Sinopec deal proved Politico was covering for an ongoing scheme. Again, RICO charges are appropriate.

2024.01.10 00:34 OverwhelmedAutism What are the worst returning appearances in BB history?

If I had to pick 10 returning appearances that I disliked, then here's is how I'd do it:
Rule 1: Only main seasons, no spinoffs (OTT, Reindeer Games, etc).
Rule 2: Not all entries will be from BB22

With that said, here is my list:
  1. Tyler (22): He lost his heart. He didn't want to be there. He said he'd quit for a bigger cause, then walked that statement back. Easily the most disappointing return, especially with how well he played in the early phase of 22.
  2. Jeff (13): Jeff was more likable on 11 as an underdog. On 13, the producers handed him the season on a silver platter, which showed. He was insufferable. He was entitled, acted like a child when he didn't get his way, and had toxic moments on the live feeds. The way Jeff treated the newbies was shitty. So glad he got taken out in the double eviction.
  3. Danielle (22): Brunette Dani > Blonde Dani. She was complacent, tight with the majority alliance, and didn't play for herself. Also, her joining in the ableism towards Ian was awful. All the magic Dani brought in 13 was gone.
  4. Boogie (14): Boogie was fine at first, but he lost all appeal when he became a player. He was grouchy and just wanted to coach. He didn't want to play. He wouldn't let go of Frank and played poorly. Hard to go from winning All-Stars to this, yet Boogie did it.
  5. Marcellas (7): Marcellas was a footnote in this season despite reaching the mid-game. His fights with Howie (jury house) and Jase are the only noteworthy things he did. He was super uninteresting, which is hard considering he was a standout on 3.
  6. Christmas (22): Need I say more?
  7. Paul (19): Super successful as a player, but their tactics are disgusting. Using a cult-like, bullying mentality is so gross. They tried to trigger Cody's PTSD so he would get DQ'd. They made BB19 the most toxic season in BB history. Also, Paul didn't learn from their first go about jury management and lost again.
  8. Nicole A (22): I hate putting her here, but she played so passively and burned bridges that she needed. I don't have much else to say, which sucks because I love her in 21.
  9. Frank (18): Frank's creepy behavior on the feeds wasn't great. Plus, his gameplay was even worse than it was in 14. He brought the heat, but I found him more annoying than anything. Also, his bad decisions were frustrating to watch.
  10. James (18): He wasn't a standout in any alliance or pair he was in. He played safe and went with the house. Even his prankster antics got old. After stealing the fan favorite award from Johnny Mac, I mean winning AFP in 17, you would expect more from him (should've ben J-Mac).

There are so many other players I could mention.

Thoughts?

2023.12.29 18:46 Coherently-Rambling My top 100 Big Brother players

100. Amanda Zuckerman
She has a very lopsided skill set and is simultaneously great and terrible at the game. She’s able to run the house for a prolonged period of time, but isn’t tactful enough to make it last all season. If you slapped even an average social game on her great strategic game, she could be a top 20 player.
99. Paulie Calafiore
Another HG with pretty lopsided gameplay. He flakes out really badly in the F10 but was playing really well before that point, basically acting as the king of the house while still being aware enough to throw comps and volunteer as s pawn to lower his threat level.
98. Natalie Negrotti
Showed the potential to be a great player with how she turned the house against Paulie, but also fell apart once she was in a position of power.
97. Kyle Capener
Similar to Paulie, Kyle was one of the best positioned players for most of his season, only to flame out roughly half way through. I have Kyle higher because his downfall came from just one pretty bad misread, while Paulie had more of a full on breakdown.
96. Aaryn Williams
Is justifiably disliked for beliefs she expressed in the house, but if we just look at her as a player, she belongs on this list. She’s underratedly good at competitions, and she made the necessary adjustments when she was on the bottom, pledging loyalty to the power players and marketing herself as a weapon to be used.
95. Marcellus Reynolds
He’s most known for making one especially bad move, but overall, I consider him a decent player. In BB3, he saved himself from a very bad start by bonding with Gerry, and stayed in a good spot through his relationship with Danielle. In BB7, he was on good terms with both sides of the house and was targeted early because this threatened Chilltown’s niche in the game.
Basically, he’s a good social player, but lacks the strategic chops to take advantage of it.
94. Donny Thompson
Was great at competitions and well liked, but couldn’t leverage either to get himself in a power alliance. He was also one of the only players to recognize Derrick’s threat level, but couldn’t do much about it.
93. Victor Arroyo
He’s the only player to be evicted three times in one season, but he was also great at challenges and a great example of someone learning to be good at the game. He went from only having Paul as an ally on week 2, to being in a good position after the prejury, to being the biggest threat to win at F5.
92. Dick Donato
Has a basic understanding of how to play the game. The fact that he won would mean a lot more if not for the America’s Player twist.
91. Jack Owens
Was one of the most liked players of his season, and he was aware of how well positioned Jun and Alison were, but he couldn’t capitalize on these strengths to better his own position.
90. Libra Thompson
Flipped the house not once, but twice. However, she was also a constant source of conflict and so wasn’t able to keep herself in a good position.
89. Shiela Kennedy
Basically a more stable version of Amanda. Her social game also wasn’t the best, but she was still able to take control of the game when needed, first outmaneuvering Josh at F9 to get James nominated over Matt, and then talking Natalie into throwing an HoH when she was the target.
88. Kaysar Ridha
Going just by placement, he has one of the worst track records in BB, but I’d argue he’s a good player despite this. Everytime he played, he had an increased target size from a pregame relationship (first Michael, then Janelle, then Janelle again). While his second and third appearances were mediocre, he had one of the best HoH reigns in his first appearance, going from a 2-10 minority to a 6-5 majority.
87. James Rhine
A well rounded player who’s both good at challenges and has shown the capacity to make good game decisions. Although he can also make some big blunders (like panicking when Maggie won HoH and burning trust with everyone).
86. Matt Hoffman
Carried his alliance in the competitions and was the best positioned in the house halfway through the season. Although he also got lucky with the Diamond Veto and blundered pretty badly when he stayed loyal to the Brigade over Ragen.
85. Danielle Donato
Did a decent job across three seasons, making the end once due to a combination of challenge dominance and the America’s Player twist, and getting middling placements the next two times she played.
84. Joseph Abdin
He played a big role in forming The Leftovers and was one of the best positions from that point until he got screwed by the split house twist. While I don’t think he’s to blame for his low placement, it does make it hard to justify putting him high on a list of people who did make a deep run.
83. Austin Matelson
Portrayed himself as much more of an evil genius than he really was, but was still in a good position for most of the season and did a great job campaigning for his safety on week 5.
82. John McGuire
Always had a good level of awareness regarding the house dynamics, gradually rose in the hierarchy by cooperating with the power players, and could’ve made F2 if not for Steve’s typo on a tiebreaker question.
81. Ivette Corredero
Was good at comps and often the driving force for her alliance’s decisions. She potentially wins the season if she’s a little less argumentative.
80. Josh Martinez
Like Dick, his win had more to do with the type of season he was on than his skill has a player, but he had a big uptick in awareness towards the end. Not only did he realize Paul was the biggest strategic threat, but he also had the restraint to know that being a strategic threat doesn’t equal being a jury threat.
79. Natalie Cunial
A well rounded player who unfortunately got squeezed out in the endgame.
78. Cliff Hogg
Was fairly well positioned despite never being a power player. He had a unique approach where he would pass on opportunities to evict power players and instead use his influence to squeeze loyalty out of them. This paid off well at F13 when he struck a deal with the Six Shooters, but not when he evicted Tommy over Holly at F5.
77. Zach Swerdzewski
Went with the most effective strategy in Big Brother, throwing comps for the first half of the season, racking up wins in the second half, and going to the end with the two biggest jury goats. This last part backfired on him though, when he lost the last HoH and got third place.
76. Michele Ross
Arguably the best physical player of BB11, yet she was able to fly under the radar and was not nominated as a target until the F4.
75. Jerry MacDonald
Was able to avoid being targeted despite constantly getting in arguments and rarely being in the majority. He also has a good chance at winning if he made F2
74. Caleb Reynolds
He’s mainly known for his weird infatuation with Amber and was seen as one of Derrick’s henchmen, but I think there are parts of his game worthy of praise.
He was put on the outs when the Detonators formed, but was third in command by the end of the season. This is because he was both great at comps and willing to go up as a pawn, which made him a great asset. If he approached the game the same way, but was more selfish for the second half of the season, he’d be seen as a great player.
73. McCrae Olson
Was one of the best positioned players for most of the season, until he was put on the bottom due to his association with Amanda. He had a pretty bad HoH at F6, but it was a double eviction and he just got blindsided, so I can understand the misplay.
72. Frank Eudy
Had a solid underdog game in BB14. Not only could he consistently win safety when he needed it, but there were even some times where he survived being the target through his social game.
71. Cory Wurtenberger
Was persuasive enough to break up Cirie’s grip on the game, but was not able to keep himself in a good position after that.
70. James Huling
On BB17, he avoided being targeted for the first half of the season despite his side rarely being in power and him being the biggest threat from his side. On BB18, he was able to make it further, but he also had less win equity.
69. Monica Bailey
She was almost always in the majority, rarely made enemies, and came one HoH away from winning the season. Her playstyle wouldn’t work too well today, but it was great for that era.
68. Liz Nolan
She not only avoided being targeted for most of the season despite being part of a very public trio, but she was the last member of that trio to be targeted despite being at the center and the biggest challenge threat. She also managed to win a 2v1 battle of the block, which had a big impact on the rest of that season.
67. Hardy Ames-Hill
One of the first power players of the show. He has a good shot at winning the season if not for Nicole blanking out and reaching for the blanket at F4.
67. Nicole Schaffrich
Played In lockstep with Hardy and so has a very similar resume. I have her above Hardy both because she went farther than him and because she’s the first player to survive being an HoH’s target
65. Russell Kairouz
He was good at challenges and stayed in a good position for most of the season despite constantly getting in arguments. Although he did unfairly benefit from the Coup D'etat.
64. Matt Turner
He was good at challenges and always used his week in power to evict the biggest threats. Although he never seemed like a power player despite this, which in addition to his feuds with Jasmine and Brittany, really hurt his chances of winning a jury vote.
63. Rachel Reilly
Great at competitions and has shown the capacity to be good at the social strategy, but is overall a messy player who heavily benefited from production interference on the season she won.
62. Jeff Schroeder
A well rounded player who’s both good at challenges and at rallying players behind him, but also benefited from production interference both times he played .
61. Lane Elenburg
Was in the dominant alliance for most of the season, played a big role in turning the house against Matt, and came one vote away from winning the season.
60. Jordan Lloyd
Is arguably the closest a player has come to winning the game twice. Though that’s not as impressive as it seems, considering that she benefited from twists and Jeff’s help in both seasons.
59. Sharon Obermuller
Got very unlucky from being paired with Jacob, to Ryan and Jenn having a pregame relationship, to none of the post jury challenges breaking her way (especially the one with the guinea pig question). Despite this, she stayed in a relatively good spot throughout the season..
58. Ragen Fox
He was the only player to figure out The Brigade on his own, he won the Veto when he needed it twice, and on the week he was evicted. he did everything he could to survive. He barely lost both the HoH and Veto, and put up a good campaign to convince Lane and Britney to keep him.
57. Corey Brooks
Played BB18 in lockstep with Nicole and so was always in about as good of a position as she was.
56. Nicole Anthony
In BB21, she was basically a prototype for Taylor, starting the season in about as bad of a spot as you possibly can, but going far with a great chance of winning once the house stopped pointing all fingers at her and started pointing at each other.
In BB22, she hurt her stock by making a bad misplay with the Safety Suite twist.
55. Felicia Cannon
Was well positioned for about the first third of the season, and even after her alliance fell apart, she was able to squeeze through the cracks, surviving 6 nominations and making it to F4.
54. Cirie Fields
Completely ran the beginning of the game, and while most players would be the next to go after having the house flipped against them, Cirie was able to adjust her threat level and spend the rest of the season in a decent spot until she was finally squeezed out by Jag.
53. Adam Jasinsky
He was in a really bad position through the perjury and made a really bad decision during his F6 HoH. Besides that, he wasn’t anyone’s target from F9 onwards, and he’s one of the few winners who can say he wins at F3 regardless of who wins the last HoH.
52. Holly Allen
Was in a great spot through the premerge, was put on the bottom by her proximity to Jackson, and then got second because Jackson was so dominant in the challenges that she wasn’t able to make herself stand out to the jury.
51. Matt Klotz
The most consistently well positioned player through BB25. He ultimately lost due to a combination of Jag’s dominant endgame performance, and his own lackluster job of pitching his case to the jury. Putting that aside, the fact that he was almost never seen as a threat despite being an Olympic athlete and that he was so consistently in the loop despite being deaf are both extremely impressive.
50. Roddy Mancuso
Was one of the most respected players in the house and survived several attempts by Danielle Reyes to evict her. He could have dominated the season if he were less pious and more cutthroat.
49. Jessica Hughbanks
She was one of the most liked players within her season, and her positioning was only made better due to her relationship with Eric. She possibly wins the game if not for production barring Eric from using the Veto.
48. Keesha Smith
Had a rough start in BB10, but gained a footing when she won HoH, made a deep run, and was arguably the most influential player of the season. The same can’t be said for BB22, but I see her poor performance as a result of her not having her head in the game at the time rather than her actually being bad at the game.
47. Hannah Chaddha
Played a crucial role in getting the Cookout to F6, from talking DX out of competing for the BB Roulette, to talking Claire into competing for the Coin of Destiny so she’d be ineligible for the next HoH. She wasn’t well positioned when it was time for the Cookout to turn on themselves, but she knew this and valued getting them to the end more than winning for herself. She’d have a great shot at winning if she allowed herself to play selfishly.
46. Alison Irwin
She got Nathan to use the Veto on her despite the fact that it would blow up his game, and she and Jun were able to revolutionize the game and be the reason people who play both sides are such big targets. With that being said, she also had no winning F2 combination and was the first out the next time she played.
45. Kevin Campbell
On BB11, he played the middle well, successfully turned Jeff and Russell against each other, and came one challenge away from winning the season. He had a harder time on BB22, but that was a stagnant season where not being in the loop from the start is a death sentence
44. Helen Kim
Flipped the house while both she and her closest ally were on the block, tightened her grip by weaponising Aaryn, and was the frontrunner to win until the 3 AM alliance formed. While her placement was midling, it’s because she was outmaneuvered by Amanda (the most powerful player of the season) and Andy (the best social player of the season).
43. Memphis Garret
Had a decent level of influence and made a deep run both times he played. He was never able to win, but he was also playing against two of the most impressive winning games in the show’s history.
42. Monte Taylor
He played a role in one of Big Brother’s biggest power shifts, stayed in a good position even as The Leftovers turned on each other, is the only US player to be immune from F6 to F2, and ironically would have won the season had he lost the last HoH.
41. Jackson Michi
He’d often let his rivalry with Christie blind his judgment, but he also showed the capacity to put this rivalry aside at F9, dominated the challenges, and told one of the most creative and effective lies in BB history at F5. It wound up being unnecessary to his goal, but he didn’t know that at the time, so it was a move worth making.
40. Ian Terry
Struggled in the beginning of BB14, but quickly found his groove and won the season through being one of the most well liked players and an impressive comp streak. He didn’t make it far on BB22, but I’d argue he still did well, as he was only nominated due to Danielle having to nominate four players, and he nearly got the votes to stay despite sitting next to a Committee member.
39. Frankie Grande
He dominated the game physically. Socially, he arguably did as well as Derrick up until the Jocasta boot, and could’ve won the season if not for the reset button.
38. Michael Bruner
Broke the record for most Vetoes won in a single season, and tactically played about as well as he could have, with the only exception being that he should have targeted the other physical threats a little sooner. Although he also gave one of the best final pleas by an evictee.
37. Jag Bains
Broke the record for both most Vetoes and most total comp wins in a season, is one of the few winners to be in an F3 where he wins no matter who wins HoH, and he pretty masterfully kept Cameron and Cory on the same page at F10.
However, he’s also the only winner to be evicted, lucked out of being evicted again the next week, and he would’ve been targeted from F8 onwards if anyone but himself, Matt, or Bowie won HoH.
36. Xavier Prather
Played a straightforward but effective strategy of throwing comps he didn’t need and gunning for them in the endgame. He was never in any real danger despite being nominated five times, and is one of only two players to be in an F4 where everyone would take him to the end and lose to him. Though his win needs some caveats.
His biggest strategic threats, Tiffany and Hannah, both played to his interests a lot more than they would have if there were already a black winner, and his biggest physical threat, Kyland, made a point of wanting to go to the end with his biggest threat. Both of these factors made his game easier than for the average winner.
35. Kaycee Clark
Physically dominated the second half of the season, and made such a good bond with Tyler, that he was more loyal to her than his showmance, which really paid off, considering how much influence he had over the season.
34. Kalia Booker
Stayed on the vets’ goodside at the start of the season, turned on them in the midgame, and seriously weakened them by F7. She would’ve done even more damage had she not backed out of making a move at F9, but I think that’s an understandable mistake.
33. Jennifer “Nakomis” Dedmon
Played a role in dismantling The Four Horsemen, executed the first ever backdoor, and likely wins BB5 if she could keep Diane on her side.
32. Erika Landin
Made two deep runs, and is one of the few people who can say she outmaneuvered Dr. Will.
31. Karen Ganci
Was the BB5 houseguest most concerned with being liked by players as they were evicted, which resulted in her being the biggest jury threat of the season. Unfortunately, she got squeezed out, as the players in F5 mostly had closer relationships with each other than her.
30. Christie Murphy
Was in a great position up until Jackson’s clutch HoH win at F9, where she was able to adapt by pitching herself as a weapon against Nick. She used her Diamond Veto as a bargaining chip so she could get her way without using it, and I think she survives F6 if it’s not a double eviction and she has more time to make a case to Nicole.
29. Tommy Bracco
Was the most consistently well positioned through all of BB21’s power shifts, and just got squeezed out in the endgame.
28. Lisa Donahue
One of the few players willing to cut a showmance to increase her shot at winning. She stayed close to the power players both before and after The Cartel dissolved, got Danielle and Jason to keep her over Amy, and then punished that mistake by winning the next HoH and the season.
27. Mike “Boogie” Malin
Did terrible on BB2, but found redemption on BB7, when he ran the game with Will and ultimately won the season. People see this season as him being carried by Will, and while I agree Will deserves most of the credit for their success, Boogie has shown he’s capable of playing well on his own in BB14, where he was able to get the target off of Frank’s back when needed.
26. Britney Haynes
Had a solid chance of making the end both times she played. In BB12, she got outplayed by one of the greatest alliances in BB history. In BB14, she got outmaneuvered by one of the greatest players in BB history (and got unlucky with the second Veto twist). Neither of which I can criticize her too heavily for.
25. Porsche Briggs
Successfully toed the line between working with the Vets’ so they wouldn’t target her, and weakening them when the opportunity came. She possibly wins the season if not for Pandora’s Box, but still came as close as you can even with it.
24. Shelly Moore
Stayed loyal to the Vets at first and turned on them at the exact right time, but was screwed by Pandora’s Box.
23. Diane Henry
Successfully led the charge against The Four Horsemen and could’ve won BB5 had she not made a drunken mistake at the end. She did go early in BB7, but she also had a pregame rivalry with Janelle, who is the worst player to have as a rival.
22. Taylor Hale
Had about as bad of a start as possible, but this was just because of people judging her for her career. She was able to get out of this hole by taking the abuse and rarely acting vengeful, which debunked the narratives made about her. She also gave one of the best finale speeches of all time and is the only post BB19 player to win without just racking up a bunch of comps.
21. Steve Moses
Arguably the winner who put the most emphasis on making sure he didn’t seem like a threat, and it worked, as he was able to make F3 by acting as Vanessa’s lapdog until he won that last HoH and knocked her out.
20. JC Mounduix
Showed that it’s still possible to excel in modern Big Brother without comp wins. He constantly pulled the rug from under Foute while still convincing them he was on their side. His one mistake was being too loyal to Level Six. Since he was in the middle, it was best for him to make sure that the two sides of the house were as evenly matched as possible so that he’d always be needed as a number. Once one side got a clear advantage, it made JC expendable.
19. Drew Daniel
He was in a good spot both before and after the Four Horsemen were dismantled, was only in danger of eviction at F5, and overall had one of the smoothest wins of old school Big Brother
18. Paul Abrahamian
Came as close as you possibly can to winning twice in a row. While they benefited from twists in both seasons and made bad mistakes in each endgame, they also showed great skill at the game. They got themselves in a great spot well before Victor returned in BB18, and they had arguably the most dominant strategic game of all time in BB19.
17. Enzo Palumbo
Both times he played, he was part of one of the biggest steamrolls in the show’s history and came close to winning the season. In BB12, he couldn’t win the last HoH to get himself to the end, and in BB22, he played too loyal to Cody.
16. Tiffany Mitchell
Was the single most influential player of BB23 and the reason that The Cookout was able to make it to F6 cleanly. She knew that this result would not be the best for her but made it happen anyway because she wanted to guarantee this season having the first black winner. If there were already a black winner at this point in the show, Tiffany runs circles around everyone.
15. Maggie Ausburn
Used Eric’s eviction to ensure that the rest of her allies never turn on each other for the rest of the season, and got Howie to nominate two members from his side of the house when she should have been the target. Both of these are very impressive acts of manipulation.
14. Jason Guy
Played a similarly deceptive game as Danielle Reyes, yet still had a good chance of winning with the jury. He wins the season if not for Lisa winning the last HoH.
13. Jun Song
Recognized that she had one of the lowest chances of winning a jury vote and so forged a path to the end with the only other player she could beat.
12. Janelle Pierzina
Got third place twice in a row. On BB7, she set the record for most comp wins in a season that went over a decade without being challenged.
BB6 and BB14 also showed her strategic game was pretty solid. On BB6, she played a big part in evicting Eric and evening out the numbers. On BB14, she was the best positioned coach before the reset button.
11. Hayden Moss
Had the most dominant winning game at his point in the show’s history, was able to get on Brendon’s good side despite being the first to target him, and it’s possible he wins the season no matter who wins the final HoH. Though I’m not sure of that.
10. Nicole Franzle
One of the show’s most successful UTR players.
She put up a decent performance on BB16 despite constantly being outside the dominant alliance.
On BB18, she was consistently in the power alliance, but was rarely in danger, as every man of the season was a shield for her.
On BB22, she avoids being targeted despite being a former winner, makes F3, and possibly wins again with a few tweaks to her game
9. Tyler Crispen
Played as good of a game as you can possibly play without winning on BB20 and was a solid contender to win BB22. He was definitely checked out on his second time playing, but I think that’s more indicative of his mental state at the time of the season than his capability as a player, especially since he still came somewhat close to winning despite this.
8. Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa really goes against the conventional wisdom of what it takes to be good at the game. Most great players go far by surrounding themselves with people who trust them and going as long as they can without being recognized as a threat.
Vanessa was one of the biggest targets for most of the season and even her allies didn’t really like working with her, yet Vanessa was always able to survive by convincing the people in power it was in their best interests to keep her one more round despite how little they trusted her. This is a very unstable playstyle, but Vanessa made it work to the point that she’d win the season if she won the last HoH.
7. Eric Stein
He was not allowed to make his own game decisions and he was exposed as untrustworthy by a fan banner, and was still the best positioned player despite this. He was then forced to protect the same players who were targeting him last week, and was not only able to do it, but did it in a way that kept him in a winning position. He likely wins the season if allowed to use the Veto at F7.
6. Danielle Reyes
One of the first people to strategically dominate a season. Danielle’s secret alliance with Jason is one of the biggest reasons that so many players today try to hide who they are and aren’t working with.
The game didn’t come quite as easy to her in BB7, but she was still able to make F6 despite forming a day 1 rivalry with one of the biggest comp beasts in Big Brother history.
5. Cody Calafiore
Has been more consistently in a good position than anyone who’s played two seasons. He made it to the end twice, was only nominated once (on a week where 5 out of 8 players were nominated) and could’ve been the first two time winner had he betrayed Derrick on BB16.
4. Derrick Levasseur
This guy created a playstyle so effective that he’s largely blamed for making Big Brother boring. He went through all of BB16 only being nominated at F3 (if you count that as being nominated), despite this being the season with the most opportunities to be nominated. He’s also the only player besides Xavier to be in an F4 where everyone would take him to the end and lose to him.
His one mistake is that he waited too long to take out Frankie, the one real threat to his game, and he could have paid for this if not for the reset button. I used to think Derrick had the best winning performance in Big Brother, but I’ve since decided this mistake is enough to take that distinction away.
3. Andy Herren
Now here’s my pick for the best winning game. Andy didn’t have as consistent a level of control as Derrick, but he did have practically everyone wanting to work with him, to the point that everyone saw him winning HoH as their best case scenario. You’d think this would make winning HoH disastrous for him, but he ended the week with everyone still trusting him, and even the player he evicted feeling more betrayed by Helen than him.
He also came up with the strategy of “misplacing” personal belongings across the house so he could walk into any room unannounced and catch people whispering. I don’t know if this actually helped him win, but it was still a brilliant idea that has been copied several times since. The only thing keeping him at #3 is the fact that he hasn’t played again, which while not something I can hold against him, it does mean I don’t have the chance to see if he could make lightning strike twice like my top two.
2. Dan Gheesling
He strikes the perfect balance between having very creative approaches to the game and being able to execute his ideas. On BB10, he voted against the house to keep Brian, which he used to market himself as a loyal ally, used the F8 and F7 Veto meetings to stir paranoia so that everyone would continue going after each other, and exploited the fact that the F4 HoH had no power to hide his alliance with Memphis and stay on Keesha’s good side despite being part of the decision to evict her.
On BB14, he continued to make jaw droppingly good plays, first talking Frank into making an F2 deal with him despite being his biggest target minutes ago, and then tricking Danielle into evicting her own boyfriend. He possibly wins a second time if not for this cast being against creating a second winner. Although I’m not sure, as Dan made some brutal betrayals and Ian was a pretty likable finalist.
1. Dr. Will Kirby
The first true Big Brother winner. Will played when the HoH was a brand new mechanic. While most people saw it as the best position you could be in, Will quickly saw the downsides, made a point of avoiding them, and became the first and so far only player to win a season without winning HoH.
On BB7, he was one of the biggest targets due to being the only returning winner, but he was able to reduce his threat level by intentionally playing badly through his “I hate you all” speech, at which point he was free to play circles around everyone, until F4, where there was no hiding the fact that he was the bigger threat between himself and Erika.
When I made this list, I initially had Dan at #1 because he made it to the end both times and I find specific moves of his to be more impressive than Will’s. However, I ultimately decided to put Will at #1 because he was able to understand the game without having a point of reference, and because he played against a stronger cast pound for pound on his second appearance than Dan did.

2023.12.17 00:37 BigDaddyInDallas The Story of My First Gibson Les Paul

Up front, I should note than for over 30 years I’ve been a Tele guy. Love them. And I love dark “bourbon burst” or “tobacco burst” guitars (have two killer Teles with BB finish, one is bound).
Anyhow, a few months ago I was perusing Reverb, not shopping, just looking at cool guitars. And some how I ran across one of these Sweetwater smokehouse burst Les Pauls; instant attraction. I literally kept going back and looking at it.
After researching the color, I discovered it was a special run, a couple years back, for Sweetwater. And, bummer, they were all sold out. Sure I could buy used, but if I was going to buy my first Gibson, I wanted a new guitar.
So I called my Sweetwater sales engineer, Tyler, and we talked a bit. He finally told me there was a rumor that they might get a small order of additional smokehouse LPs. Just a rumor, but if it happened it would likely be before the end of the year. It had not been advertised or broadcast in anyway, even most employees didn’t know; just water cooler talk. But, he said there was a “just in case waiting list” with 2 guys on it. By this point he knew I really wanted one so he agreed to put me on the list in slot 3
A couple months passed, and then I got his call. They had just received a handful and they were in the process of going thru 55 point checks and HD photos. Two had been snapped up by the two guys ahead of me and he said I could just take the next one, sight unseen or gamble a bit to see if 2 or 3 popped up that I could pick from. I decided to wait and 5 minutes later a third was picked off by someone who saw it post on their site. So after holding out for 3 more to be posted, I picked mine. This one just happened to have a single piece top, and nice looking grain (the model was not created with any intentional wood figuring). So boom, I called him back, we locked it on and 3 days later it was in my living room in Dallas. And damn I LOVE IT!!!
Just an amazing guitar. Gibson PLEKs the neck at the factory, 60s neck profile, nitro finish, and push pull pots for multiple tone options. It frankly plays and sounds amazing.
Oh, and the same time I ordered the guitar, I also ordered a black/white 5 ply pickguard (yellowed the white plies to match the binding), black pup rings, poker chip and switch tip. I liked the cream accents, but really love the blacked out furniture; it really draws your attention to that smokehouse burst.
So now, I’ve played it every day for over a month and haven’t touched my 4 Teles. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a Fender man, but damn I’m so glad I got this wild hair and added this gorgeous guitar to my collection. Just awesome. Thanks for reading. BD

2023.12.12 13:55 upbstock morning market updateeeeee

The app store duopoly of Google (GOOG, GOOGL) and Apple (AAPL) may be in trouble as a recent legal ruling could force them to open up their app stores’ closed ecosystems. Epic Games, which makes the popular video game Fortnite, has won its high-profile antitrust case against Google after a jury found that the search giant's Play app store is operating as an illegal monopoly.
The verdict: The jury found that Google had monopolized the Android app distribution and payments market by charging app developers high fees of up to 30% and striking side deals with rivals to fend off competition. The court will now decide if Google should allow payment for and distribution of apps outside the Play Store. "The verdict is a win for all app developers and consumers," said Epic, reiterating that regulations are needed to "address Apple and Google strangleholds over smartphones." Google intends to appeal the verdict, saying it would "continue to defend the Android business model."
Bigger picture: Epic's legal victory threatens the billions of dollars of revenue that Google earns through its app store. If the jury's verdict is upheld, developers could have more power over the distribution of and profits from their apps. The win is also important in light of Epic's loss last year against Apple in a similar antitrust case, in which a judge ruled that there was not enough evidence of the iPhone maker having unlawful monopoly power. However, it was determined that Apple should allow apps to provide other payment option links.
Other legal woes: Google is already facing a landmark antitrust case from the Department of Justice over its alleged monopolistic practices in the search business, which has left Barclays increasingly concerned. SA analyst Paul Franke previously warned that the antitrust lawsuits won't necessarily end the Google/Alphabet saga for bullish investors. "My view is the stock could take a breather at the end of this year and all of next, as investors digest what I believe will be bad news on the legal front," he warned. (8 comments)
Weight regain Eli Lilly (LLY) shares dipped on Monday after a study indicated that patients who were taking the obesity drug tirzepatide regained weight after discontinuing the therapy. The study sponsored by Lilly showed that the drug - marketed as Zepbound - led to a 20.9% mean weight loss over 36 weeks. But those who switched to a placebo immediately afterward saw a 14% weight gain over 52 weeks. A study funded by Lilly's rival Novo Nordisk (NVO) also showed that patients on the weight loss drug semaglutide regained two-thirds of their lost body weight a year after discontinuation. GlobalData recently forecast that Zepbound sales could reach $4.1B by 2031 in the U.S. (75 comments)
Inflation watch The highly-anticipated Consumer Price Inflation report is due today, with economists widely expecting retail inflation in November to remain unchanged from the prior month. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, likely rose 0.3% sequentially. "The upcoming CPI report may show zero inflation or even deflation, influenced by global energy prices and supply glut," said Investing Group Leader Chris Lau. While inflation is steadily declining, the Fed has been wary of declaring victory in its fight to rein in inflation. As the FOMC meeting kicks off today, every bit of data counts. "Unless CPI is much worse than expected, we don't expect financial conditions to change much," said 22V Research's Dennis DeBusschere. (7 comments)
New draft The agreement drafted at the United Nations' COP28 summit hit a roadblock after opposition from some countries as it didn't include strong enough wording on phasing out fossil fuels. A new draft is expected on Tuesday. The draft instead suggested other steps to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Many countries sought stronger wording instead of just guidelines for reducing fossil fuels' consumption and production, including the U.S., but Saudi Arabia and other OPEC+ members have opposed this. The draft's "weak language on fossil fuels is completely insufficient," said the Alliance of Small Island States, a group of countries vulnerable to climate change. (2 comments)

2023.11.22 01:04 dreddnought I Need a Hero, or: Offseason Pitching Targets via Trade

Trades are where we can dream a little more because Mike Elias has far more high value prospects than John Angelos has money he's willing to spend. The question is if Elias is actually willing to trade those prospects.
So here's part two of my series on the offseason. If you missed part one, which focused on free agent starters, it's here. Since then, Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn have signed with the Cardinals, and I think Nick Martinez is available, too.
Once again, I only focused on starting pitching because I see it as the area that both needs upgrades and has a clear path. Conversely, I think we have a logjam at position players, and relievers are such a crap shoot I don't even know where to begin. It's not that the team can't improve in those areas (I watched the same games in September and October as you did), but I can see starting pitching a little more clearly. That said, I should caveat once again that I’m not really any more qualified to speak on this than Joe or Jane Doomer, but I’m probably not alone in thinking trades are how Elias is going to make “this” “”work.””
And if you don’t have time to read 5,000 words, here’s the summary in three tables:

What do you guys think? Who am I missing? Should I do a deeper dive into any individual pitcher?
Like last time, I used a simple query of Stuff+ tables on FanGraphs with minimum 100 IP across 2022-2023, and then sorted by Stuff+ descending. I just want to see guys with a reasonable amount of action without taking into the account the covid years or juiced ball era. Some of these guys had really bad 2023 seasons, so I thought that including 2022 would help with sample size. Plenty of guys have just one bad year or just one good year.
This is 186 guys. But the actual number is way lower because a lot of pitchers are disqualified for various reasons:
  • Free agents: see previous post, no need to review them again
  • Too expensive of a contract: Max Scherzer, Gerrit Cole (lol)
  • Injured: Brandon Woodruff, Germán Márquez, Anthony DeSclafani, Brad Keller
  • Division rivals: I trust Elias to not get fleeced, but most of the time, I don’t think these are worth it
Other considerations:
  • The market is dependent on sellers. Every team that doesn’t sell raises the price of everyone remaining.
  • We need to have the positions that sellers need, and the pitcher that we want can’t figure heavily into their future plans. Rebuilding teams want cheap young starters. Conversely, I excluded guys on teams who need them to make a run. This takes out a lot of guys. The Brewers are borderline because they look like they're on the doorstep of blowing it up. I ultimately didn’t include any Marlins because they have enough pitching on the IL that they need it unless they're doing a teardown.
I list three categories below: fantastic, acceptable, disappointing in terms of showing how serious Elias is about winning now.
Format: (Current Team; Stuff+ Location+ Pitching +; Year of FA; Age; Ranking on the 2023 trade value rankings by the Prophet Ben Clemens, peace be upon him).
Fantastic
As mentioned above, if Elias trades for these guys, that would show that he’s serious about winning now - not in the long run, not over a sustained period - now. You can make these trades and still have longer term success; you're not emptying the farm, but you'll see fewer top 100s for a while.
Dylan Cease (Chicago White Sox; 119 97 105; 2026; 27 yr; HM)
The man purportedly worth Jackson Holliday. Free agent after 2025. Probably a better value deal than Corbin Burnes because Cease took a bigger step back in 2023, plus you get an extra year of control. A lot of us are tempted to match the arc of the Elias Orioles to the Luhnow Astros, which would make Cease Gerrit Cole. I don’t think it’s controversial to say Cole had better raw stuff, but I don’t think Elias is willing to spend as much as his Houston predecessor. So if 2024 Cease is worse than 2018 Cole, I think that’s a good thing.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what the Chicago White Sox are doing because from what I can tell, their new GM was part of the old regime, so it's not clear to me if he’s going to blow it up. And even if he does trade Cease, is he still going to ask for Jackson Holliday? There's no reason they shouldn't have started a rebuild at the deadline, frankly, so there's a good chance they just hold onto Cease and let him walk for nothing.
I think most people reading the entire post already have a good feel for Cease's pitching profile. He loves his slider enough to write a poem about it, and while I can never condone poetry, it did have a run value of +10 in 2023, a good number but a steep drop from the lava hot +36 in 2022. His disappointing 2023 still netted him 3.7 fWAR, with 4.5 and 4.4 in 2021 and 2022, respectively. He's also not a durability concern (as far as any pitcher can be not a durability concern), covering 165+ innings a year since 2021.
Here's the counter argument: what if he doesn't turn it around stuff-wise? In 2023, he lost a tick off his fastball (96.9 in 2022 to 95.8 in 2023), lost an inch of vertical drop on the fastball, 1.5 horizontal inches on the slider. He’s gone from 61.7 to 59.1 to 58.5 inches of vertical drop on the curveball from 2021 to 2022 to 2023. There are a lot of interweaving reasons why players’ pitches move the way they do, so I can’t assume these are strictly negative. I would guess losing a little bit of fastball ride is purely a bad thing, but he dropped 2.9 inches of horizontal break on his slider between 2021 and 2022, and 2022 was the year it was worth +36 runs. His knuckle curve had the second worst Stuff+ (87) with the filters used, and it was worth -12 runs in 2023. So what if he doesn't have a curve? Like Eno Sarris pointed out in May, it makes him more of a two-pitch pitcher, and is that a risk Elias is willing to take?
Anyway, starting this list with Cease is kind of stupid because if he gets traded, it's going to be expensive, and he’s a Boras client so we’re not likely to extend or re-sign them. Even so, it's two years of control, so he’s not a pure rental. The extra year is basically why I put Cease on this list and not Burnes. Burnes would immediately add three wins to our 2024 total but he’s also a Boras client with only one year before free agency, so I’m skeptical Elias will trade as much as he needs to to get only one year of an ace.
Freddy Peralta (Milwaukee Brewers; 104 101 104; 2025-2027; 27 yr; N/A)
Here is Peralta’s contract: 5 yr, $15.5M (2020-24), 2025-26 $8M club options
So even if it weren't for his stuff (114 four-seamer, 111 slider) or 92nd percentile whiff% and K%, the contract alone makes Peralta desirable - in his two club option years, he’s going to make as much as Burnes is likely to get in arbitration in just 2024.
With Brandon Woodruff out for 2024, GM David Stearns and manager Craig Counsell both gone, and all three of Burnes, Woodruff, and SS Willy Adames pending free agents in 2024, this might be the guy to take a swing on. It all depends on if the Brewers fold and trade for the future. It’s important to remember the Brewers are also cheapskates, so they could also sit on his cost-controlled contract.
Peralta didn't even make honorable mention this past trade deadline, "Peralta is on a cheap deal but hardly elite." But if you ask me, the stuff is good, he's averaged ~3.0 fWAR and ~3.50 xFIP each of the past three seasons with ERA/xERA/FIP values that hover around 3.00, and that contract is cheap for a modest number of years (John Angelos if you're reading this I KNOW YOU CAN AFFORD HIS 2025-2026 OPTIONS).
There’s a lot to say about Peralta’s four-seamer and fastball shape in general, but long story short, I think his is an excellent complement to our team arsenal. The summary is that it works really well because of a low release point, good vertical approach angle (VAA), good extension, and good deception (hiding the ball until it whips out of his hand). His induced vertical break (IVB) is average, but the other characteristics of his fastball make up for it.
The counter argument: look at his innings pitched. 144.1 in 2021, 165.2 in 2023, nothing north of 90 IP any other year since his 2018 debut. Which guy are we trading for? Elias will want to pay for 2022, Brewers want to sell for 2021/2023.
Logan Gilbert (Seattle Mariners; 104 101 103; 2028; 26 yr; #33)
Gilbert is the most expensive pitcher in this review. He's a proven frontline starter with four years of team control remaining, including one pre-arbitration. He's also durable at 180+ IP in each of the last three seasons.
I listed only Gilbert among Seattle's TOR arms because I find it exceedingly unlikely we'll trade for George Kirby (#26 by Clemens) let alone Luis Castillo. Kirby is younger and has both better command and an extra year of control over Gilbert; the bidding would probably start at several top 100s. As for Gilbert, none of our starters throw a splitter and our main splitter guy is out for at least a year, so I think he's a good fit for varying the team's pitch mix.
If Teoscar Hernández doesn't re-sign, the Mariners have an opening for a righty outfield bat, given Kelenic, Canzone, and Marlowe are all lefties. I think Santander is an upgrade from Hernández, but you'd obviously need to throw in a lot more to get Gilbert's value. It's four years of team control, and the Blue Jays traded one year of Hernández for three years of reliever Erik Swanson plus lottery ticket Adam Macko. If you consider Santander (2025 FA) equivalent to pre-2023 Hernández, what do you consider the gap between Gilbert and Swanson? That's what we need to fill with ML-quality bats. You now see the difficulty.
And here's the counter argument: does he give up contact that's too hard? He's had bottom quarter average EV and HH% all three years he's pitched. His barrel% is below average but at least 33rd percentile, so it's not like he's giving up nukes every time batters make contact. He’s been a little homerun prone in 2023, but you swap out Kreme-dawg for Gilbert and you’re probably adding at least two wins. In the sense that he has the fewest obvious red flags of any pitcher in this tier, I wouldn't second guess this too much.
Mitch Keller (Pittsburgh Pirates; 103 102 102; 2026; 27 yr; N/A)
Mitch Keller was by far the best Pittsburgh starter, but if you look at his season numbers, he was actually "just" above average. Solid K%, BB%, and HH%, but his barrel% and whiff% are meh, and his recent (250 PA) rolling xwOBA is average, too. He was sublime when he came to Baltimore in May, but then he just kept getting tagged for a ton of runs. Five or more runs seven times after May. I don't watch enough NL baseball to really understand what happened to him, but based on a little research, it might be that something messed with his release point, stuff, and velocity and caused his results to crater after May. But there's a lot going on here because Keller throws as many as six pitches, and I won't assume it's all caused by one thing.
This trade might actually be doable because he's got only two years left on his contract and he's not in the power level of Cease or as cheap for as long as Gilbert. But he himself wants to stay in Pittsburgh, and there was smoke earlier in the season about a long-term extension.
I think this is the right guy from a trade value perspective. The question is if we can meet Pittsburgh's needs. They're a young team with few expiring contracts (McCutcheon, Vince Velasquez), so it's not clear to me they want what we have. The FanGraphs rankings at the start of the year put them at bottom five at 2B, RF, and RP, and bottom 10 at C, DH, and SP. Unfortunately, the inclusion of both starting and relief pitching there makes me think they’re going to want pitching back if they trade Keller. And if that’s the case, we might be shit out of luck. The Pirates also have a history of letting good pitchers go for an unfavorable return, so who knows, maybe they’ll go in for another one.
Counter argument: everything before 2023 and everything after May. If you believe his improvements are here to stay, he's a good investment. Or, are we buying his peak?
Acceptable
Oops All AL West! These are the kind of trades that I hoped Elias would make last offseason, so I’d still be pretty happy with them. These are all cheap starters with at least three years of control. These guys still aren’t cheap, but we would have to give up less for them, and if they develop with the rest of the team’s young core of position players, this tier might actually be better from a timeline/competitive window perspective.
Bryce Miller (Seattle Mariners; 117 104 109; 2030; 25 yr; HM)
Bryan Woo (Seattle Mariners; 103 102 104; 2030; 23 yr; HM)
Bryce Miller? The guy who only throws fastballs has above average stuff on four of his five pitches? And he has five pitches?
Miller had a solid rookie season, albeit very five-and-divey: 11 of his 25 starts were 5.0 IP or fewer, and after a blazing hot start of only four runs in 31.1 IP, he gave up 59 runs in the remaining 100 IP (read: >5 ERA). But his fastball looks quite good: among 2022-2023 starters, t-9th in four-seamer Stuff+ at 121, 18th in IVB at 18.4”, and 23rd in VAA above average at +0.42°. It is therefore unsurprising that he throws the heater almost 60% of the time, even if its run value per 100 pitches is literally 0.0.
The bad news: Miller and Woo came up in 2023, so the Mariners have six years of control. I can’t find anything about Woo’s contract status, and Baseball Reference says he still hasn’t exceeded his rookie limits, but I’m going to assume since he was on the big league roster for quite a while, this is just a documentation issue. Woo was 12.1 innings short of my 100 IP threshold, but it’s not like you can set Miller’s destiny in stone after 131.1 IP, either.
You could argue Woo’s better peripherals make him a more appealing candidate, and I think Woo is one of the few pitchers I’ve seen with a high Stuff+ sinker at 109. FanGraphs lead prospect writer Eric Longenhagen grades Miller at 50 FV and Woo at 45+, so it’s close. An important detail that Longenhagen highlights is that he considers both of these guys to still be developing, so I don’t really ding Woo’s Stuff+ because I assume it’s going to grow.
Seattle has a weird front office. I wouldn’t call them cheap, since they gave Robbie Ray a five year, $115MM contract and then they gave Julio Rodríguez a titanic extension that could top out at $400MM. On the other hand, after the 2022 season, they gave contracts to (checks notes) Kolten Wong, A.J. Pollock, and Tommy La Stella. Point being, I won’t be surprised if they pocket these young starters and let them develop some more. If they end up as good as Gilbert and Kirby, the Mariners can flip them for a lot more than what they can get now.
The main argument against these guys is that they have 200 career innings combined and many of them came in spurts of five innings or fewer. I peered over at the Mariners sub and found a good, basic comment about the differences and potential tweaks these guys need to make. Point being, they have potential, and that’s what you’re buying here.
Reid Detmers (Los Angeles Angels; 99 98 98; 2028; 24 yr; N/A)
Patrick Sandoval (Los Angeles Angels; 93 98 98; 2027; 27 yr; N/A)
Reid Detmers has a hittable four-seamer and two reasonably good breaking balls - sound familiar to another Angel we traded for?
He had a funky 2023: 3.72 ERA / 3.26 FIP over his first 15 starts before giving up 29 ER in 25.1 innings over the next six starts and then finished the season with only 13 11 ER in 41.0 innings. Because of that disastrous stretch where he gave up nine home runs in six games, the season line looks middling at 4.48 ERA 4.13 FIP, but if you look under the hood, it, uh, also looks middling with a 4.45 xERA and 4.27 xFIP.
But that might be fine because we want guys whose potential we can unlock. Given Detmers isn’t a free agent until 2028, I have a feeling the Angels would probably prefer to keep him anyway since a rebuild shouldn’t really take more than four or five years, and the next couple years of development could mean they could sell high in 2026 or 2027.
For a long time, I thought highly of Patrick Sandoval because I watched him mow down the Mariners in person a few years ago. Unfortunately for him, his 2023 was a rough ride. I’m curious if he has issues getting tilted, since only 66 of his 89 runs given up in 2023 were earned. Moreover, he’s been trending in the wrong direction on both strikeouts and walks to the tune of a 8.3% K-BB% in 2023.
With one fewer year of team control than Detmers and seemingly on the downslide, this might be an opportunity to steal him from the Angels. I see them as more likely to move on from him than Detmers because every couple of starts we see flashes of brilliance from Detmers, and he could be the guy for them to build around moving forward.
Stuff+ doesn’t like Sandoval, but I believe we can do more with less. Sandoval was also originally an Elias draftee back in Houston, and Elias liked him quite a bit, “Patrick is a premium high school lefty whom our staff followed all spring. [...] He has good size, a lively fastball that he locates well, and a solid curveball and changeup in place. We like the blend of pitchability, stuff and projection he offers, and to add a talent of his caliber is a big boost to [the Houston Astros] and our draft class.”
He’s only 27. And a lefty.
What's the argument against them? Detmers has a middling fastball and can be disastrously inconsistent. If Sandoval’s single-digit K-BB% is not a fluke, then… he has a single-digit K-BB%.
Disappointment
I don’t have anything personal against these guys, it’s just more along the lines of the small additions we’ve seen since last winter. I think this is probably the most likely bucket we see.
Michael Kopech (Chicago White Sox; 111 93 97; 2026; 27 yr; N/A)
I was surprised to see him on this list when I remembered this is stuff, not location. His Location+ is the lowest of anybody on this list at 93, tied for lowest of all 100+ IP starters 2022-2023, and lowest of all 100+ IP starters in 2023 alone at 91. The fastball is still his big pitch, but with 1st percentile BB% and barrel%, he needs some work.
Not sure this guy is worth it even as a reliever unless the FO sees something they can actually fix. I watched this guy a couple of times last season and it seems like he legitimately has 20 command. His 15.5% BB% in 2023 was by far the worst among starters, with Blake Snell's 13.3% a distant second, and that doesn't even really count since Snell is a prodigious nibbler.
Shane Bieber (Cleveland Guardians; 99 102 101; 2025; 28 yr; N/A)
This is mostly a repost of what I said in this thread, but my thoughts are intact:
I had kind of written off Shane Bieber assuming the Guardians were going to push with their young pitching corps (Tanner Bibee, Gavin Williams, Triston McKenzie, etc.) and a weak AL Central, but I guess it aligns with their previous practices to sell pitchers on the verge of implosion like Corey Kluber.
After a very good 2022 (2.88 ERA/3.51 xERA/2.87 FIP/2.98 xFIP) where he struck out a batter an inning and had a career high (career low? the good one) in walk rate, he had an injury-riddled 2023 where he was basically a whole run worse by each headline stat. The good news is he still doesn't walk a lot of guys, and his GB rate is competitive.
Beyond the injury, the troubling stuff is obvious: his strikeout rate (and whiff rate correspondingly) has really declined from 33.1% to 25.0% to 20.1% over the past three years, and his fastball continues to lose roughly a tick a year.
If you want an unambitious rental, you could do worse than Shane Bieber. But I don't think he's the guy you want if you want to improve the club enough to not regress to the 89-win record by BaseRuns in 2023. But if you're going to do that, why not just pay a free agent $10MM-$15MM (assuming you won't spend more than that anyway) and save the trade chips for something bigger?

Two below average Oakland lefties with five years of team control and then a below average righty with two years of team control. I don’t have much to say about these guys other than their peripherals are kinda crummy, and they’re in the same style of pitcher as Cole Irvin, except Waldichuk walks a lot of guys, JP Sears has a good VAA fastball, and Blackburn had a <4 FIP last year.
There’s no Matt Olson or Sean Murphy to be robbed here. We can try again in 2028 or later when Brent Rooker, Zack Gelof, and Mason Miller are nearing free agency.
Brady Singer (Kansas City Royals; 90 101 97; 2027; 27 yr; N/A)
Brady Singer has two pitches (sinker slider), below average fastball velocity, and he took a big step back in 2023 after a pretty good 2022 where in 153.1 IP he had a 3.23 ERA/3.97 xERA/3.58 FIP/3.30 xFIP. Like Bieber, his GB rate is good, and he doesn't walk too many guys.
But don't you want more than that? Like everybody else in this tier, Singer asks the question, "are we making the rotation any better by starting this guy instead of 2024 Kremer or 2023 Gibson?"
I know I’m asking for a lot. Logan Gilbert and Freddy Peralta are good pitchers, and I’m not even sure either team is interested in selling their major leaguers. But it’s the start of the offseason. Let’s keep dreaming at least until February…
Guys who are missing from this list:
  • Corbin Burnes; Milwaukee Brewers - I know, he should be in the first tier. But like I said, I don’t think I can expect Elias to trade for definitively one year of an ace in the one season we don’t have our Paul Bunyan closer. Burnes objectively makes the team better, but it seems like pulling the fire alarm in year two of contention.
  • Tyler Glasnow; Tampa Bay Rays - he’s likely available, but he’s due $25MM with only one year of control, and trading with the Rays is dangerous.
  • George Kirby; Seattle Mariners - too expensive. We're going to have trouble enough finding assets to get Gilbert - who would we need to trade to get Kirby?
  • Jesús Luzardo, Edward Cabrera, Braxton Garrett; Miami Marlins - down one Sandy and one Pablo, I think the Marlins no longer have a starting pitching surplus. But if they were willing to trade, Garrett would be a good pickup. Below average velo and underwhelming Stuff+, but he doesn’t walk guys, has a high GB rate, and is a lefty. Again, you want more than just that, but it'll take a lot more to dislodge Luzardo. No proven lefty starter throws a harder fastball.
  • Nick Pivetta; Boston Red Sox - Pivetta has a good fastball with ride, good whiff% and K%; the downside is that he has only a year before free agency, 2nd percentile barrel%, and he's a flyball pitcher. If he dropped onto our 40-man tomorrow, I'd be happy to replace Kremer with him. But he plays for Boston and I'm loath to trade them any righty bats.
  • Triston McKenzie; Cleveland Guardians - Sticks would've been a great pickup last year, such that there was a 0% chance the Guards would've traded him. But now they have a glut of young pitchers, except McKenzie hurt his UCL (!) and was pretty bad in limited action.
  • Logan Webb; San Francisco Giants - honestly, I have no idea what the Giants are doing, but they just extended him with an excellent five year, $90MM contract, so it'd be silly to trade him now. Great value.
  • Jameson Taillon; Chicago Cubs - it's an affordable contract, but he was terrible in 2023. I have to think Elias can do better for the same amount of money.
  • Cole Ragans; Kansas City Royals - I think the Royals know what they have. His stock has never been higher, so we might as well wait a year to see if comes back down to earth.
  • Tarik Skubal; Detroit Tigers - Skubal seemed like a guy to try to vulture in 2022, but then he got hurt, and Detroit turned in a solid 2023 with a 78-84 base runs record and quality contributions from guys like Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene, and Kerry Carpenter. At this point, if the people running the Tigers know what they’re doing, they need to push and build around this guy. But yes, he’s a hard-throwing lefty. If we could get him, that’d be great. Timing just doesn’t make sense.
  • Griffin Canning; Los Angeles Angels - injury prone and unlike the other Angels listed above, he's a righty.
  • Brandon Woodruff; Milwaukee Brewers - not a trade candidate, but a guy who was non-tendered. Woodruff is an interesting candidate because he’s basically been an above average starter his whole career, but had the misfortune of having a pair of terribly timed injuries - one preventing him from playing in most of 2023, and then another preventing him from playing likely all of 2024. If a team signs Woodruff, it’s going to be some kind of weird two or three-year deal where things balance out such that he’s pretty cheap during his year of rehab.

2023.10.18 07:07 Worldly-Raise-6976 All the juicy gossip you missed on Tuesday/Wednesday Live Feed...

Here's all the gossip & stuff that we noticed whilst chatting along on discord last night (Invite link here: https://discord.gg/WfdNRKnYBx come join us if you watch during the 9pm till 2am & want company!)
warning, there are spoilers for nominations in here but all under spoiler lines, click on them at your own choice.
Well... first thing to say is there was SOOOO MUCH BLOODY BIRDSONG LAST NIGHT!!! Over two hours & fifteen minutes was Birdsong of a three hour programe & that's not including adverts! It was crazy. Like in the first hour we got 3 entire sentences & a few random snippets. Later on we found out that it was likely that they were ALL talking about nominations and I can only presume the producers don;t want us to hear it - utter stupidity. I've a big rant at the end so enjoy yourself on that!
There were 3 groups to start, one in the hot tub, another in the living room & one lot in the mezzanine.
so, in the hot tub were Chanelle Noky Matty Olivia Tom & Paul. We were treated to he first 7 minutes all birdsong... then 1 sentence... then back to birdsong (from now on shortened to BS).
Cut to upstairs, Trish Henry & Yin (ALL BS).
Cut to hot tub (MORE BS). Then Noky said "Why does it always smell like cakes out here?" (More BS).. yup... riveting stuff. I know, right!!
Matty then started splashing everyone (except Noky cos she was wearing a straw cowboy hat!)
Cut to upstairs, Zak & Dylan have joined. guess what... (more BS). We are 17 mins past the hour & all but 30 seconds is BS.

25mins past the hour of still 99% BS - cut to the living room, Jenkin said he was going to go to the DR. then more BS for a few more minutes. Yin talking to Kerry about coming to this country and having to adjust. When she is asked what music she likes 'she never knows whether to say her Chinese music types that no-one here would know about (She lived in Shanghai), Or should she say an English band to try to fit in better here.' Kerry said 'No, be yourself even if no-one knows the band.. let them go look it up!'
Kerry says that Yin is the BB20 Winner of her choice & she has been an inspiration here & should be for the people outside, and her family back in Shanghai too.
Jenkin back from DR joins them. talking about first impressions. Kerry says that Tom made not much of an impression on her that first night & day two.
Then everyone from the hot tub comes indoors with towels wrapped around them. Jenkin says his stuff is in the dryer but put those towels in to dry quick.
Kerry said she was going to the toilet, Dylan sad "Yeah, treat yourself!!".

Cut to upstairs - yet more birdsong (BS stopwatch at 42 mins now) Henry matty Trish Jordan, (all BS).
Cut to Tom in the kitchen with frying pans & bread out - likely making his eggy bread again.
Cut to Jenkin & Chanelle outside J says "This is fucking nuts, right?" (we presume this was about nominations, but seeing as we'd only been able to listen to 3 minutes between BS thus far, who knows!) Dylan comes up , asks "Do you mind being in a house with lots of kids?" Cuts to BS, sowho knows! Then J & C talking in really strong Welsh that as hard to understand.. summat about horse riding as a kid I think. Dylan was tidying up empties left behind by the hot tub people (prolly what his kids comment as about)
(I have put this also as a separate post on Reddit as it was just so darn cute)
The following will melt your heart, fair warning:
Cut to Yin in the bedroom looking at the picture of herself & then looking up at herself in the mirror talking. (She was talking fast but I tried to get it all down)
"This is me. Yinrun!" Pointing to herself on the photo with her BF looking in the mirror. (she is adorable. the bedroom is looking a right tip, btw. shoes everywhere, clutter, no beds made etc.) Yin is now half inside her wardrobe space putting things away. We pan out to realise she is all alone & has been talking to herself. She lies down front first on her bed & shouts into the covers to muffle it. "It's fine" Groans some more then gets back up & looks into a mirror again.. "It's fine... no... it's not fine at all. But... this is what it is... This is a reality show. This is a fact we need to face." (More BS) "Why... dear cameras...? I just feel SO weird. This is a big bedroom... how come people started to leave?" (the following sentence a bit muffled) "And at night be me, but I don't know why... The scariest thing is I don't know why... And not everyone is telling you the truth." (still looking at herself in the mirror) ""And they only give you comfort and compliments. You think they are being kind to you, but having ideas in the back of their minds. Who knows. I think I should be harder to read. But it is SO hard. Have to have poker face. Just show happy." (looking into mirror again) "What am I doing even? Trying to find solution to find a way." (big sigh) "Right.,.. let's take a shower and I will feel better. Enjoy this moment as I am still here. Don't be too hard on yourself. Be proud of yourself. Yes!!! Let's go!" she gets her shower things together and heads out.
(We were pretty sure from her tone that Yin is up for eviction this week. And was giving herself an epic pep talk. Read on for more info)
Back to the kitchen, Jordan Trish, kerry, Olivia & chanelle. All eating the eggy bread that Tom made.
Jordan opens the fridge... picks up & eats something... says "ewww" ...then carries on eating more! (bless!)
Kerry & Olivia talking about eyelashes and fake ones. Matty Kerry & Henry talking about what they should wear on Friday for the eviction night.
(It kinda sounds like Hallie is up from her tone. It possibly sounded like Kerry is not - or she might just be more used to it after last week.)
Matty apparently bought a whole new load of clothes etc to bring into the house to wear because his mother said He'd look scruffy otherwise!
Big big spoliers for how many are up: Cut to bathroom, Jordan Yin & Trish, Hallie comes in. Yin asks "Just how many are up for eviction again?" Hallie says Seven. Deffo looks like Yin is up too - hence her self pep talk in the bedroom. Hallie and Yin talking about cruises as they've both been on them. Yin went on a Mediterranean one and she felt trapped in the ship. Also the buffet grazing at all times was bad for tummy! First night & last night as very shakey on the ship because of docking in ports.
Back to kitchen Jordan ironing a shirt in the bg, Matty & chanelle talking, about C putting her hair in curlers tonight.
Jordan has ironed 4 shirts all on hangers, Matty carries them into the bedroom with Yin. jordan hangs them up. Matty complimented one of his jackets - Jordan says it is 'Zara'.
In bathroom but entire 20 minutes of BS. Tom & Henry on seats laughing.
Cut back to bedroom, looks even more of a trash pit. Hallie at the mirror station with Nair on her upper lip. chatting to Olivia still more BS (stopwatch at 1 hour & 50 minutes so far!)
Dylan talking - to Trish & Yin, planning. They decide that tomorrow is gonna be a nice day, they're making pancakes for brekkie - American pancakes. Trish not so sure about bacon on pancakes. In the afternoon Dylan says he's making some curry paste. Dinner is Jenkin's turn, making Potato pie with cheesy topping. A Welsh dish. Yin asked if chandelle will be helping. Dylan said that Chanelle doesn't cook ever. Only uses an air fryer & take out at home.
In bathroom - BS - Tom kissed Dylan's bald head when passing!
Cut to kitchen - Chanelle saying Noky was being annoying and that Noky made her feel like Chanelle had made her cry in the shopping task.
Back to bedroom Jordan talking to Matty about his writing a book - he didn't do well at school at English but really enjoys writing now. Likes getting in the head of characters. (more BS). Then Jordan talking about relationships, he has a tendency to be needy with guys, less so with women.
More BS until the end.
-------
(I've put the following as a separate post to get it out to the most people possible)
Tonight was by far the worst Birdsong - the stop watch ended on 2 hours, 15 minutes and 31 seconds. There are also about 5 x 2.5ish minute advert breaks per hour, so add 35ish minutes in adverts & we got about Ten bloody minutes of things we could properly hear in a three hour show! Jesus BB Producers, get it together will you!
Just sit all the HM down and tell them every day what they cannot talk about! I presume lots of the BS tonight was to try to cover up the nominations... but frankly we could guess quite a lot anyways from body language and who was with who. & if you don't want the housemates to talk about noms for 3 hours so you can have a watch able TV show then tell the HM's just what they cannot talk about that when you give them the 1 hour 'you're going live' warning! There is zero point in advertising things like 'Watch the Live Feed on ITVX. You can get all the gossip in this fantastic 3 hour show' if the viewers can then only hear a few minutes of it!
Most of what we could hear tonight was Yinrun having a crisis in the bedroom at herself in the mirror! The rest of the entire three hours was just Birdsong then 1 meagre sentence then back to the endless Birdsong. /rant.
So far I've kept a stopwatch to estimate of all the Live feed's birdsong -not including the adverts - (I only started night one's counting half way through when it got quite bad - it was about 30 minutes worth.)
night two: 45 mins
night three: 1 hour 22 mins
night four: 43 mins
night five: 27 mins
night six: 40 mins
night seven: 50 mins
night eight: 1 hour 17 mins
night nine : 2 hours 15 mins
This is ludicrous!
I'm pretty sure that Ofcom is the group to complain to & the 'video on demand' is the most appropriate form by the looks of it. go here:
https://ofcomlive.my.salesforce-sites.com/formentry/SitesFormCSLEOnDemandComplaints
Or complain to ITV themselves:
 Email Customer Services on [viewerservices@itv.com](mailto:viewerservices@itv.com)
 Call Customer Services on 0344 881 4150
So if you want to complain about how we literally cannot hear 95% of last night's show (or any other Live feed shows) Feel free to use the figures above of how much is birdsong but remember they are estimates.

2023.10.16 07:34 Worldly-Raise-6976 What went on on the Sunday night live feed...

...Here's all the gossip & stuff that we noticed whilst chatting along on discord (Invite link here: https://discord.gg/WfdNRKnYBx come join us if you watch during the 9pm till 2am & want company!)
Well... we started out with about 8 minutes of birdsong over the loop footage of cameras & how the house looked before the series started. (clean!). We found out why this happened when we did get pictures... it was because BB was playing music to 4 of the housemates indoors & they were dancing. The indoor housemates were Jenkin, Paul, Olivia & Kerry in the lviing room. The had some beanbags & a picnic table with food & drinks on... behind that in the middle of the living room were 4 beds in a cross pattern, slightly larger than double beds with no headboard, blue duvets & pillows. With teeny camping side tables. Although we never found out how they had been chosen, these 4 HM seemed like they were glamping when the others outside were rough camping.
Cut to outside... the firepit had gone out, there was a huge pull along trolley full of tins of food (beans & fruit salad were mentioned) But no ability to heat anything up (well... they let the fire go out so duh!). The hot tub was in fact roped off.
Jordan had already gone to sleep, he was at the 'eye' seat, he had put some hay bales on it (I think BB might have taken away all the cushions in the garden for the task?) so jordan had put a yoga mat across the top of the hay then gotten into his sleeping bag ( No idea if shoes on or not) As we know Jordan is used to sleeping with his clothes on after his stint as a firewarden!) Jordan looked asleep the entire LF - no snoring heard from him!
Tom & Zak had taken more of the haybales & pilled them up into a bed shape near the door to the house (just enough room to get out & down the ramp), they were both lying on top of the bales in clothes & coats inside their sleeping bags, chatting. Dylan & Noky were on the seating that surrounds the fire TV, also in their sleeping bags & chatting. On the floor beside Noky's bench was Matty, looking fast asleep. next to him were Trish & Yin - they seemed to have zipped their sleeping bags together for more comfort. Then Hallie was top to tailing next to them them, Chanelle next to her... & then Henry was stuck on the end but at a 40 degree angle... like he's just plonked himself down (bless) Looked like they just had the yoga mats underneath them. There were I noticed later a good few haybales left around... no idea why they didn't try to also build a platform... or even loosen the straw & make a bed for themselves (idjits). Or even just use the bales to bloc out the cold from that area, But everyone on the floor looked asleep at this point.
So - Tom as chatting to Zak & Dylan about people who has been given the easy life (as bigwigs etc) by BB versus the 'always bottoms' people! I have to say there was a LOT of cuts to birdsong this stream, over 50 minutes in 2.5 hours of talking!). Then they started talking about food ... the food given by BB for the outside campers & how terrible it was to eat cold... all they had was water to drink (each had been given a green water bottle). Seems like Dylan has full on taken over food cooking since Farida left, much more cohesion the past day over food rather than lots of little meals being cooked (which would have been wasteful wasteful). They hoped that BB would let them keep the beans they didn't eat during the task so they could heat them up properly & make a good stew out of them. Zak said they been told not to put the tins into the hot tub to heat up the food! (the hot tub is on & heating at all times it seems, very wasteful of BB).
Cut to the inside 'Glamping' people, The had been given wine & food earlier, but now sadly it is all gone. Asked BB for more on their mics (they did not get any that we saw). Olivia complaining about Tom eating lots of bananas & kit kats for breakfast this week & now they are almost out of bananas. Olivia likes eating them, one before bed & one in the morning but likely she wont be able to now.
Olivia & Jenkin started talking about watching themselves on BB, they said they would both binge watch everything once they got out & they both said it would be likely they spotted so many things happening that they'd not seen whilst inside!
Odd convo about Chicken dil**s - it started on chicken wings (Lots of food talk tonight again!) and ended up on chicken dildos... (no clue as to whether they meant chickens with dild**s or dild**s made of chicken - either way frankly terrifying!)
Dylan & Noky talk more about foot (what a surprise) from what we could tell with the cuts & birdsong the outsiders that ares till awake have been talking about food on n off for about an hour. This time it was about air fryers & wouldn't it be great to have one in the house (Or multiples for all the people), & that Dylan had asked for a blender & got one.
Cut back to inside - Olivia asking their fave colour, Jenkin said white , Paul said black, Olivia pink... then Paul changed his mind to red instead.
So... it turned out that Kerry had been called for her nightly medication & whilst she was away Olivia decided to prank her by hiding her mattress, duvet & belongings including her make-up & hairbrush. Kerry came back & was startled to find it gone. O & J said that BB had gotten the outside people to vote on who would lose their mattress. & that the outsiders had said Kerry (I presume kerry didn't realise that they're mostly asleep, Jenkin had been for a fag earlier so he knew but obviously hadn't told her). Kerry was obviously really upset, asking why the outsiders would pick on the disabled lady. The door leading to DR was locked so she looked up & talked to the door light like HM often do, to please let her go so see BB about it to try to get it back.
O & J then expanded the story & said that they'd been asked to go to the kitchen whilst crew dressed all in black came in & took the mattress upstairs!. (I can only presume Kerry believed this cos she was stressed tired & head whirring.) Paul notably did not join in this, even though it transpired later that he had helped to hide the mattress & stuff. Paul was really quiet & subdued all night. Kerry got well stressed, sat down at the picnic table. O & J still spinning tales. Kerry said "Well this is g*y." In response to how she was the one targeted by the outsiders. She did get a bit 'Karen' & asked to see BB again cos she just wanted to go to bed after taking her meds. She needed to go fill up her water bottle to take them... Jenkin offered to do it for her (because all her belongings were in the kitchen on the floor & she would spot them if she went there) He filled it up & gave it back to her to take her meds. I honestly think that O & J made this 'prank' go on a bit too long for comfort & should have ended it when Kerry started looking quite dejected & upset... eventually they revealed they'd hidden the mattress & Jenkin said "It was Olivia's idea!". Then the 3 put it all back.
Cut back to outside, Close-ups of sleeping housemates. Matty asleep with his curls all about his face, Yin had her green hat, an eye mask & a fuzzy black coat hood right up around her face! Henry sleeping with a grey beanie hat on. Hallie sleeping on her side Chanelle woke up for a bit, had a cream hat with a pompom on, rubbed her face looked about & turned over back to sleep. Trish got up (possibly went to DR?) had a mooch about, said to Noky she wanted a snack. Looked at the food tins, but no snacky stuff there, so went back to her sleeping bag inbeteen Yin & Matty hungry. Trish zipped up her long black coat before getting into sleeping bag.
Zak & Tom on their haybale bed, zak took off his jacket so he's obviously warmer. They settled down to sleep. Someone snoring... then another snorrer in tandem. Noky the last to talk (with Trish) all finally nodded off.
Cut back inside Jenkin talking about chickens still! Said that his family kept turkey's & chickens before. He said "My father's a bit dodgy" then it cut off.
Back outside to snore-fest!!! on the discord we tried to work out who was snoring... Henry sleeping with his mouth open...in the end we thought Zak was the most likely of the loudest one snoring as Dylan woke up to cough & the snoring carried on....
Lights still on inside so they were up, but they didn't show them again. and yup we all then watched snoring/sleeping housemates outside for about 30 minutes of riveting late night TV!!!!
Come join us on discord in the 'live-chat', we're on from 9pm till 2am every night! https://discord.gg/WfdNRKnYBx
(Note: This is the 15th oct to 16th oct 11pm to 2am live feed.)

2023.10.14 04:07 nuelle27 Let's talk about GENTO for GRAMMYS

SB19's Gento is now an approved entry to the prestigious awards show and while we're celebrating this tremendous feat, I'd like to revisit the previous nominations for the last 3 years under the same category that SB19 is eligible.
2021 -"Un Dia (One Day)" by J Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny & Tainy -"Intentions" by Justin Bieber feat. Quavo -"Dynamite" by BTS (-Winner: "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga with Ariana Grande) -"Exile" by Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver
2022 -"I Get A Kick Out Of You" — Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga -"Lonely" — Justin Bieber & benny blanco -"Butter" — BTS -"Higher Power" — Coldplay (-Winner: "Kiss Me More" — Doja Cat feat. SZA)
2023 -"Don't Shut Me Down" by ABBA. -"Bam Bam" by Camila Cabello Featuring Ed Sheeran. -"My Universe" by Coldplay & BTS. -"I Like You (A Happier Song)" by Post Malone & Doja Cat. (-Winner: "Unholy" by Sam Smith & Kim Petras.)
As you can see, all these songs are from globally known artists who have dominated significant BB charts and have huge radio airplays. Aside from that, these songs also have one thing in common, all are western marketed. While there is indeed an Asian act included, their nominated tracks utilize the English medium the most.
So why am I talking about this? I know that we all are lowkey rooting for esbi's golden child, but we have to be real if we aspire to get that nomination. Quite frankly, it is near to impossible.
I am aware that currently A'tin on X and other social media platforms are making noise about this and are using the FYC communications to 'reach' the recording academy. However, it kinda feels wrong whenever I see posts that are somehow spamming the said tag.
This is a huge award-giving body, WE HAVE TO VERY CAREFUL. I know that we have strength in numbers but for this one, I think we have to be strategic rather than aggressive. The amount of tagging to @/recordingacad and use of FYC tags do not equate to 'reach'.
According to a billboard article written by Paul Grein (2022), "The academy currently has more than 12,000 voting members and more than 3,000 professional (non-voting) members." We don't know these people but I'm pretty sure that they are veterans in the music industry. They are more than qualified to evaluate the technicalities of a song, thus, I suggest that we don't talk about Gento's catchy beats and the like if we are to use the FYC tags. Instead, we could focus more on the element that will be overlooked in a non-english song. That is, SB19's lyricism.
Going back to what I stated about the previous nominations being mostly English songs, Gento will really have a hard time to push through. It made noise globally but tbh I think it only dominated some parts of Asia. It did not really penetrate a significant portion of the western market. I know Grammy is not about the number of sales and streams, but I believe that the 'reach' that we need is through these.
Please let us use the FYC pubmats and tags very carefully and strategically. The recording academy are humans too, they don't have all the time in this world to browse through thousands of posts about a song they probably never heard of.
I suggest that we indirectly make noise about Gento once again. We don't have to mention its eligibility for the grammys while we do this. We just have to do what we did when Gento was released. Let's spam, let's be bots but not through the FYC tags. Let us spam through radio requests and streams, or maybe through requests to big influencers from the west. The song is big on Tiktok, let's utilize that.
Feel free to disagree with me. Like the majority of us, I'm only a casual listener of music in general but a dedicated A'tin. I'm no music guru but I've been following the grammys as a lil monster (Lady gaga fan). The joy that I feel whenever gaga gets nominations or wins, I want to feel that for our mahalima as well. We only have until October 20, let's do things right.

Así era el Che/Che as I knew him. Article from 1997 by Ahmed Ben Bella, an outstanding Algerian revolutionary leader and politician, member of the National Liberation Front (FLN), who played a prominent role in the Algerian Revolution and later became the first President of independent Algeria.

Che es recibido por el Presidente argelino Ahmed Ben Bella a su arribo al aeropuerto internacional Oar El Baida, Argel, 1963/ Che is received by Algerian President Ahmed Ben Bella upon arrival at Oar El Baida international airport, Algiers, 1963. Photo credit: Centro Che Cuba.
Así era el Che.
El 9 de octubre de 1967, en una pequeña aula de la escuela de La Higuera (Bolivia), Ernesto Che Guevara era asesinado. Su espíritu revolucionario lo había llevado por distintos rincones del mundo, entre ellos Argelia, donde tuvo oportunidad de conocer a su presidente, Ahmed Ben Bella, y de entablar un vínculo de profunda solidaridad entre los pueblos cubano y argelino.
Desde hace treinta años (1), el Che Guevara interpela nuestras conciencias. Más allá del tiempo y el espacio, escuchamos el llamado del “Che” que nos conmina a responder: sí, sólo la revolución puede a veces convertir al hombre en un ser de luz. Hemos visto cómo esa luz irradiaba de su cuerpo desnudo, tendido en algún lugar en el fondo del Ñancahuazú, en esas fotos publicadas en los diarios de todas partes del mundo, mientras que el mensaje de su última mirada sigue llegándonos hasta lo más recóndito del alma.
El “Che” era un valiente, pero un valiente consciente, con el cuerpo debilitado por el asma. Lo acompañaba a veces en las alturas de Chrea, sobre la ciudad de Blida, cuando veía llegar el ataque que le daba a su rostro un tono verdoso. Quien haya leído su Diario de Bolivia sabe con qué salud deteriorada debió enfrentar los terribles desafíos físicos y morales que marcaron su camino.
Es imposible hablar del “Che” sin hablar de Cuba y las particulares relaciones que nos unían, al estar su historia, su vida, tan ligadas a ese país que fue su segunda patria antes de que se marchara allí donde lo llamaba la revolución.
Conocí a Ernesto Che Guevara en vísperas de la crisis internacional del otoño de 1962 vinculada a la crisis de los misiles y al bloqueo de Cuba decretado por Estados Unidos. Argelia acababa de lograr su independencia y de conformar su primer gobierno, y como jefe de ese gobierno, debía asistir, aquel mes de septiembre de 1962, en Nueva York, a la sesión de la ONU para izar simbólicamente la bandera argelina en la sede de las Naciones Unidas; ceremonia que consagraba la victoria de nuestra lucha de liberación nacional y el ingreso de Argelia en el concierto de las naciones libres.
La oficina política del Frente de Liberación Nacional (FLN) había decidido que ese viaje a las Naciones Unidas debía continuar con una visita a Cuba. Más que de una visita, se trataba sobre todo de un acto de fe que marcaba nuestros compromisos políticos. Argelia deseaba señalar públicamente su total solidaridad con la Revolución Cubana, particularmente en esos momentos difíciles de su historia.
Invitado el 15 de octubre de 1962, por la mañana, a la Casa Blanca, mantuve francas y acaloradas discusiones con el presidente John Fitzgerald Kennedy a propósito de Cuba. A la pregunta directa que le hice: “¿Va usted hacia una confrontación con Cuba?”, no dejó que quedara duda alguna sobre sus verdaderas intenciones y me respondió: “No, si no existen misiles soviéticos; sí, en caso contrario”. Kennedy intentó insistentemente disuadirme de viajar a Cuba en un vuelo directo desde Nueva York; llegó incluso a mencionar un eventual ataque de la oposición cubana instalada en Miami al avión de la Fuerza Aérea de Cuba que debía trasladarme. A esas amenazas apenas veladas, le respondí que era un fellagha (2) y que las amenazas de los harkis (3) argelinos o cubanos no me intimidaban.
Nuestra llegada a Cuba, el 16 de octubre, se desarrolló en medio de una indescriptible alegría popular. El programa preveía discusiones políticas en la sede del partido en La Habana desde la llegada de nuestra delegación. Pero las cosas se desarrollaron de un modo totalmente diferente. Apenas dejamos las valijas en el lugar donde íbamos a hospedarnos, rompiendo el protocolo, nos pusimos a discutir desordenadamente con Fidel, el Che Guevara, Raúl Castro y los demás dirigentes que nos acompañaban.
Nos quedamos allí hablando durante horas. Desde luego, les conté a los dirigentes cubanos la impresión que me había dejado mi entrevista con el presidente Kennedy. Al término de estos debates apasionados alrededor de mesas que habíamos colocado uniendo unas con otras, nos dimos cuenta de que prácticamente habíamos agotado los temas del programa que debíamos tratar y que nuestro encuentro en la sede del partido ya no tenía sentido. Y, de común acuerdo, decidimos pasar directamente al programa de visitas que debíamos hacer por el país.
Esta anécdota da una idea de las relaciones totalmente desprovistas de protocolo que serían, desde el comienzo, la característica esencial, la norma de los lazos que unían la Revolución Cubana y la Revolución Argelina, y de los lazos personales que me unieron a Fidel Castro y al Che Guevara.

En auxilio de la Revolución Argelina
Esta solidaridad se confirmaría de manera espectacular durante la primera amenaza grave que sufrió la Revolución Argelina con el asunto de Tinduf en octubre de 1963. Nuestro joven ejército, recién salido de una lucha de liberación, que aún no poseía ni cobertura aérea –ya que no teníamos ni un solo avión– ni fuerzas mecanizadas, fue atacado por las Fuerzas Armadas marroquíes en el terreno que le era más desfavorable. No podía utilizar allí los únicos métodos que conocía y que había probado durante nuestra lucha de liberación: es decir, la guerra de guerrillas.
El desierto y sus vastas extensiones desnudas lejos estaban de las montañas de Aurès, Djurdjura, de la casi isla de Collo o de Tlemecén, que habían sido su medio natural y del que conocía todos sus recursos y secretos. Nuestros enemigos habían decidido que era necesario frenar el impulso de la Revolución Argelina antes de que se volviera demasiado fuerte y arrastrara todo a su paso.
El presidente egipcio Nasser nos proporcionó rápidamente la cobertura aérea que nos faltaba, y Fidel Castro, el Che Guevara, Raúl Castro y los dirigentes cubanos nos enviaron un batallón de veintidós blindados y varios centenares de soldados que fueron enviados a Bedeau, al sur de Sidi Bel Abbes, donde los visité, y que estaban listos para entrar en combate si esta guerra en las arenas continuaba.
Esos tanques tenían un dispositivo infrarrojo que les permitía intervenir de noche; habían sido enviados a Cuba por los soviéticos con la expresa condición de que en ningún caso estuvieran en manos de terceros países, incluyendo los Estados comunistas. A pesar de estas restricciones, los cubanos no dudaron en enviar sus tanques en auxilio de la Revolución Argelina en peligro.
La mano de Estados Unidos estaba claramente detrás de los acontecimientos de Tinduf; nosotros sabíamos que los helicópteros que transportaban a las tropas marroquíes estaban piloteados por estadounidenses. Fueron esencialmente esas mismas razones de solidaridad internacional las que conducirían más tarde a los dirigentes cubanos a intervenir del otro lado del océano Atlántico, en Angola y otros lugares.
Las circunstancias que determinaron la llegada de ese batallón blindado merecen ser contadas, ya que ilustran más que cualquier otro comentario la naturaleza de nuestras relaciones privilegiadas con Cuba.
En octubre de 1962, durante mi visita a Cuba, Fidel Castro quiso cumplir con la promesa que su país nos había hecho de brindar una ayuda de 2.000 millones de francos antiguos. Teniendo en cuenta la situación económica de Cuba, debía enviárnosla, no en divisas, sino en azúcar. A pesar de mi negativa, ya que consideraba que en ese momento Cuba necesitaba más su azúcar que nosotros, no me hizo ningún caso.
Aproximadamente un año después de esta discusión, un barco con bandera cubana atracó en el puerto de Orán. Con el cargamento de azúcar prometido, recibimos la sorpresa del envío de dos decenas de tanques y cientos de soldados cubanos que venían a socorrernos. En una hoja arrancada de un cuaderno escolar Raúl Castro me enviaba un breve mensaje que anunciaba este gesto de solidaridad.
Por supuesto, no podíamos permitir que ese barco volviera vacío; lo llenamos pues de productos argelinos y, siguiendo el consejo del embajador Jorge Serguera, agregamos algunos caballos árabes. Así comenzó entre nuestros dos países un intercambio de carácter no comercial, bajo el signo de la solidaridad y que, según las circunstancias (y las exigencias), fue un elemento original de nuestras relaciones.
Un compromiso total
El Che Guevara era particularmente consciente de las numerosas restricciones que obstaculizan y debilitan una verdadera acción revolucionaria, así como de los límites que afectan cualquier experiencia, aun la más revolucionaria, desde el momento en que se enfrenta directa o indirectamente con las reglas implacables de la ley del mercado y la racionalidad mercantil. Él las denunció públicamente durante la Conferencia Afroasiática que tuvo lugar en Argel en febrero de 1965. Además, las penosas condiciones de la conclusión del asunto de los misiles instalados en Cuba y el acuerdo celebrado entre la Unión Soviética y Estados Unidos habían dejado un gusto amargo. Tuve además un muy duro intercambio de palabras al respecto con el embajador soviético en Argel. Todo eso, conjugado con la situación que prevalecía en África, permitía esperar inmensas potencialidades revolucionarias, y había llevado al Che a considerar que el eslabón débil del imperialismo estaba en nuestro continente y que debía en adelante dedicarle sus energías.
Traté de señalarle que quizás no era la mejor manera de ayudar a la maduración revolucionaria que se desarrollaba en nuestro continente. Si bien una revolución armada puede y debe encontrar apoyos externos, debe sin embargo crear sus propios resortes internos sobre los cuales apoyarse. No obstante, el Che Guevara quería que su compromiso fuera total y físico. Viajó a Cabinda (Angola) y al Congo Brazzaville en varias oportunidades.
Se negó a usar el avión privado que quería ponerle a su disposición para asegurar una mayor discreción a sus desplazamientos. Solicité entonces a los embajadores de Argelia en toda la región que se pusieran a su disposición. Volví a verlo en cada uno de sus regresos del África negra y compartimos largas horas intercambiando ideas. En cada oportunidad, volvía impresionado por la fabulosa riqueza cultural del continente, pero poco satisfecho con sus relaciones con los partidos marxistas de los países que había visitado y cuyas concepciones lo irritaban. Esta experiencia de Cabinda, conjugada con la que tendría luego con la guerrilla que se desarrollaba en la región de la ex Stanleyville (4), lo había decepcionado mucho. Paralelamente a la acción del Che, llevamos a cabo otra acción para el rescate de la revolución armada del oeste del Zaire. De acuerdo con Nyerere, Nasser, Modibo Keita, N’Krumah, Kenyatta y Sékou Touré, Argelia brindaba su aporte enviando armas a través de Egipto mediante un verdadero puente aéreo, mientras que Uganda y Malí se encargaban de proveer cuadros militares. Fue en El Cairo, donde nos reunimos por mi iniciativa, que concebimos ese plan de rescate y comenzamos a aplicarlo, cuando recibimos un llamado desesperado de los dirigentes de la lucha armada. Lamentablemente, nuestra acción intervino demasiado tarde y esa revolución fue ahogada en sangre por los asesinos de Patrice Lumumba.
Durante una de sus estadías en Argel, el Che Guevara me hizo llegar un pedido de Fidel. Al estar Cuba bajo estrecha vigilancia, nada podía organizarse seriamente respecto de América Latina para enviar armas y cuadros militares que habían sido entrenados en Cuba. ¿Podía Argelia tomar el relevo? La distancia no era el principal obstáculo; todo lo contrario, podía jugar en favor del secreto que condicionaba el éxito mismo de una operación de esta importancia. Mi respuesta fue por supuesto un “sí” espontáneo. E inmediatamente comenzó la implementación de las estructuras de acogida para los movimientos revolucionarios de América Latina, bajo el control directo del Che Guevara. Rápidamente, los representantes de todos esos movimientos revolucionarios se trasladaron a Argel, donde me encontré con ellos en varias oportunidades en compañía del Che. Un Estado Mayor que agrupaba a los movimientos se estableció en las alturas de Argel en una casona rodeada de jardines que habíamos decidido, simbólicamente, asignarles. Esta villa Susini había sido un lugar célebre cuyo nombre pasó a la posteridad. Durante la lucha de liberación nacional había sido un centro de tortura donde muchos hombres y mujeres de la resistencia perdieron la vida. Un día, el Che Guevara me dijo: “Ahmed, acabamos de recibir un duro golpe; hombres entrenados en la villa Susini fueron detenidos en la frontera entre tal y tal país (ya no recuerdo cuáles) y temo que hablen bajo tortura”. Se preocupaba mucho y temía que se revelara el secreto del lugar donde se preparaban las acciones armadas y que nuestros enemigos conocieran la verdadera naturaleza de las empresas de importación y exportación que habíamos instalado en América del Sur.
El Che Guevara había partido de Argel cuando se produjo el golpe de Estado militar del 19 de junio de 1965 respecto del cual, por otra parte, me había advertido. Su partida de Argel, y luego su muerte en Bolivia y mi propia desaparición durante quince años deben estudiarse en el contexto histórico que marcó el retroceso que siguió a la etapa de las luchas de liberación victoriosas. Ese retroceso que anunció el fin, tras el asesinato de Lumumba, de los regímenes progresistas del Tercer Mundo, entre ellos, los de N’Krumah, Modibo Keita, Sukarno, Nasser, etc.
La fecha 9 de octubre de 1967 grabada a fuego en nuestra memoria evoca una jornada inconmensurablemente sombría para el prisionero solitario que era, cuando las radios anunciaron la muerte de mi hermano, y los enemigos que habíamos combatido juntos entonaban su siniestro canto de victoria. Pero cuanto más nos alejamos de esta fecha y se diluyen en la memoria las circunstancias de la guerrilla que culminó ese día en el Ñancahuazú, más el recuerdo del Che está presente en el espíritu de aquellos que luchan y esperan. Más que nunca, se inscribe en la trama de sus vidas cotidianas. Algo del Che permanece aferrado a sus corazones, a sus almas, escondiendo un tesoro en la parte más profunda, más secreta y más rica de sus seres, avivando su coraje, atizando su energía.
Un día de mayo de 1972, el silencio opaco de mi prisión celosamente vigilada por cientos de soldados fue quebrado por una gran algarabía. Me enteré así de que, apenas a unos cientos de metros, Fidel estaba visitando una granja modelo muy cercana e ignoraba sin duda que yo me encontraba en esa casa morisca aislada en la colina cuyos techos podía ver por encima de la copa de los árboles. Fue sin duda por esas mismas razones de discreción que esa misma casa había sido elegida antes por el ejército colonialista como centro de tortura.
En ese momento, un montón de recuerdos me vinieron a la mente, una cohorte de rostros, como una película patinada por el tiempo, desfiló por mi cabeza, y, como nunca desde que nos separamos, el Che Guevara estuvo tan vivo en mi memoria.
En verdad, su recuerdo nunca nos dejó a mi esposa y a mí. Una gran fotografía del Che estuvo siempre colgada en las paredes de nuestra prisión y su mirada fue testigo de nuestra vida cotidiana, nuestras alegrías y nuestras penas. Pero otra fotografía, una pequeña foto recortada de una revista que había pegado en un cartón y protegido con un plástico nos acompañó siempre en nuestras peregrinaciones. Es la más cara a nuestros ojos. Se encuentra hoy en Maghnia, mi ciudad natal, en la casa de mis padres que ya no están y donde dejamos nuestros recuerdos más preciados antes de partir al exilio. Es la foto de Ernesto Che Guevara tendido, con el torso desnudo, cuyo cuerpo irradia tanta luz. Tanta luz y tanta esperanza.

Translation:
Che and Ahmed Ben Bella in Algiers, 1963.
Che as I knew him.
On 9 October 1967, in a little schoolroom in La Higuera, Bolivia, Ernesto “Che” Guevara was assassinated. He had been taken prisoner the day before. Thus ended the life of a revolutionary whom Jean-Paul Sartre called “the most complete human being of our era”. It had led him from Argentina to Guatemala, from Cuba to the Congo, and finally to Bolivia, always inspired by an ardent hope of relieving the sufferings of the poor. President Ahmed Ben Bella met him many times in Algiers from 1962-65 when the city was a haven for anti-imperialists from all over the world.
For thirty years Che Guevara has been challenging our consciences. From beyond space and time, we hear Che's call, which demands that we answer: yes, only the revolution can sometimes transform man into a being of light. We saw this light illuminating his naked body lying somewhere in distant Ñancahuazú, (1) in the photographs that appeared in newspapers all over the world. The message of his final gaze continues to touch the depths of our soul.
Che was a courageous fighter, but a conscious one, with a body weakened by asthma. Sometimes, when I climbed with him to the Chréa heights overlooking the town of Blida, I saw him suffer an attack that turned him green in the face. Anyone who has read his Bolivian diary knows in what poor health he faced the terrible physical and mental ordeals with which his path was strewn.
It is impossible to speak of Che without speaking of Cuba and the special relations which united us, since his story and his life were so closely bound up with the country that became his second home before he turned to wherever the revolution called him.
I first met Ernesto "Che" Guevara in the autumn of 1962, on the eve of the international crisis around the missile affair and the United States blockade of Cuba.(2) Algeria had just achieved independence and formed its first government. As head of that government, I was due to attend the September 1962 session of the United Nations in New York at which the Algerian flag would be raised for the first time over the UN building, a ceremony marking the victory of our national liberation struggle and Algeria's entry into the concert of free nations.
Visits to Washington and Havana
The National Liberation Front's political bureau had decided that the trip to the United Nations should be followed by a visit to Cuba. More than just a visit, it was intended as an act of faith demonstrating our political commitment. Algeria wished to emphasize publicly its total solidarity with the Cuban revolution, especially at this difficult moment in its history.
I was invited to the White House on the morning of October 15, 1962, and had a frank and heated discussion about Cuba with the president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I asked him point blank: "Are you heading towards a confrontation with Cuba?" His reply left no doubt about his real intentions. "No," he said, "if there are no Soviet missiles. Yes, if there are." Kennedy tried hard to dissuade me from flying to Cuba direct from New York. He even suggested that the Cuban military aircraft that was to fly me to Havana might be attacked by Cuban opposition forces based in Miami. To these thinly veiled threats I retorted that I was a fellah who could not be intimidated by harkis, whether Algerian or Cuban. (3)
We arrived in Cuba on October 16 amid indescribable scenes of popular enthusiasm. The program provided for political discussions at party headquarters in Havana immediately after our delegation arrived. But things worked out very differently. As soon as our luggage had been dropped off at the place where we were supposed to stay, we threw protocol overboard and began a heart-to-heart talk with Fidel, Che Guevara, Raúl Castro, and the other leaders who were accompanying us.
We stayed and talked for hours and hours. I naturally conveyed to the Cuban leaders the impression I had received from my conversation with President Kennedy. At the end of an impassioned discussion, around tables which we had pushed together end-to-end, we realized that we had practically exhausted the questions on the agenda. There was no point in a further meeting at party headquarters, and by mutual consent we moved straight on to the program of visits prepared for us across the country.
This anecdote gives an idea of the total lack of formality that, from the very beginning, was the norm for the relations uniting the Cuban and Algerian revolutions and of my personal relations with Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.
Cuban troops and Algerian Revolution
The solidarity between us was spectacularly confirmed in October 1963, when the Tindouf campaign presented the first serious threat to the Algerian revolution. (4) Our young army, fresh from a war of liberation, had no air cover (since we didn't have a single plane) or armored transport. It was attacked by the Moroccan armed forces on the terrain that was most unfavorable to it, where it was unable to use the only tactics it knew and had tried and tested in the liberation struggle, namely guerrilla warfare.
The vast barren expanses of desert were far from the mountains of Aures, Djurdjura, the Collo peninsula or Tlemcen, which had been its natural milieu and whose every resource and secret were familiar to it. Our enemies had decided that the momentum of Algerian revolution had to be broken before it grew too strong and carried everything in its wake.
The Egyptian president, Abdel Nasser, quickly provided us with the air cover we lacked, and Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Raúl Castro, and the other Cuban leaders sent us a battalion of 22 tanks and several hundred troops. They were deployed at Bedeau, south of Sidi Bel Abbes, where I inspected them, and were ready to enter into combat if the desert war continued. The tanks were fitted with infrared equipment that allowed them to be used at night. They had been delivered to Cuba by the Soviet Union on the express condition that they were not to be made available to third countries, even communist countries such as Bulgaria, in any circumstances. Despite these restrictions from Moscow, the Cubans defied all the taboos and sent their tanks to the assistance of the endangered Algerian revolution without a moment's hesitation.
The United States was clearly behind the Tindouf campaign. We knew that the helicopters transporting the Moroccan troops were piloted by Americans. The same considerations of international solidarity subsequently led the Cubans to intervene on the other side of the Atlantic, in Angola, and elsewhere.
The circumstances surrounding the arrival of the tank battalion are worth recalling since they illustrate better than any commentary the nature of our special relations with Cuba.
When I visited Cuba in 1962, Fidel Castro made a point of honoring his country's pledge to give us two billion old French francs worth of aid. (5) Because of Cuba's economic situation, the aid was to be provided in sugar rather than in currency. I objected, arguing that Cuba needed her sugar at that time more than we did, he would not take no for an answer.
About a year after our discussion, a ship flying the Cuban flag docked in the port of Oran. Along with the promised cargo of sugar, we were surprised to discover two dozen tanks and hundreds of Cuban soldiers sent to help us. A brief note from Rau'l Castro, scribbled on a page torn out of an exercise book, announced this act of solidarity.
Obviously, we could not let the ship return empty. We filled it with Algerian products and, on the advice of Ambassador Jorge Serguera, added a few Berber horses. This was the start of a kind of barter between our two countries that was carried on in the name of solidarity and was entirely devoid of commercial considerations. Circumstances and constraints permitting, it was a distinctive feature of our relations.
Che's internationalist work in Africa
Che Guevara was acutely aware of the countless restrictions that hinder and weaken genuine revolutionary action -and indeed of the limits on any experiment, however revolutionary - as soon as it confronts directly or indirectly the implacable rules of the market and the huckster mentality. He denounced them publicly at the Afro-Asian Conference held in Algiers in February 1965. (6) Moreover, the painful terms on which the affair of the missiles installed in Cuba had been concluded, and the agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States, had left a bitter taste. I myself exchanged very tough words on the matter with the Soviet ambassador in Algiers. All of this, together with the situation prevailing in Africa, which seemed to have enormous revolutionary potential, led Che to the conclusion that Africa was imperialism's weak link. It was to Africa that he now decided to devote his efforts.
I tried to point out that perhaps this was not the best way to help advance the revolutionary maturity that was developing on our continent. An armed revolution can and must find foreign support, but it first has to create the internal resources on which to base its struggle. But Che Guevara insisted that his own commitment must be total and required his physical presence. He made several trips to Cabinda (Angola) and Congo- Brazzaville.
He refused my offer of a private plane to help disguise his movements, so I instructed Algerian ambassadors throughout the region to provide him with every assistance. Whenever he returned from sub-Saharan Africa, we spent long hours exchanging ideas. Each time he came back impressed by the fabulous cultural riches of the African continent but dissatisfied with his relations with the Marxist parties of the countries he had visited and irritated by their approach. His experience in Cabinda and subsequent contacts with the guerrilla struggle around Stanleyville were particularly disappointing. (7)
Meanwhile, parallel to Che's activity, we were pursuing another course of action to save the armed revolution in western Zaire. In agreement with Nyerere, Nasser, Modibo Keita, N'Krumah, Kenyata and Sekou Touré, (8) Algeria contributed by airlifting arms via Egypt, while Uganda and Mali supplied military cadres. The rescue plan had been conceived at a meeting in Cairo convened on my initiative. We were beginning to implement it when we received a desperate cry for help from the leaders of the armed struggle. Despite our efforts, we were too late and the revolution was drowned in blood by the assassins of Patrice Lumumba.
During one of his visits to Algiers, Che Guevara informed me of a request from Fidel. Since Cuba was under close surveillance, there was no real chance of organizing the supply of arms and military cadres trained in Cuba to other Latin American countries. Could Algeria take over? Distance was no great handicap. On the contrary, it could work in favor of the secrecy vital for the success of such a large-scale operation.
I agreed, of course, without hesitation. We immediately began to establish organizational structures, placed under the direct control of Che Guevara, to host Latin American revolutionary movements. Soon representatives of all these movements moved to Algiers, where I met them many times together with Che.
Their combined headquarters were set up in the hills overlooking Algiers in a large villa surrounded by gardens, which we had assigned to them because of its symbolic importance. The name of the Villa Susini has gone down in history. During the national liberation struggle it was used as a torture center where many men and women of the resistance met their death.
One day Che Guevara said to me, "Ahmed, we've just been struck a serious blow. A group of men trained at the Villa Susini have been arrested at the border between such and such countries (I can't remember the names) and I'm afraid they may talk under torture." He was very worried that the secret site of the preparations for armed action would become known and that our enemies would discover the true nature of the import- export companies we had set up in South America.
Che Guevara had left Algiers by the time of the military coup on June 19, 1965. He had warned me to be on my guard. His departure from Algeria, his death in Bolivia, and my own disappearance for 15 years need to be studied in the historical context of the ebb that followed the period of victorious liberation struggles. After the assassination of Lumumba, it spelled the end of the progressive regimes of the third world, including those of N'Krumah, Modibo, Keita, Sukarno and Nasser, etc. (9)
The date October 9, 1967, is written in fire in our memory. For me, a solitary prisoner, it was a day of immeasurable sadness. The radio announced the death of my brother, and the enemies we had fought together celebrated their sinister victory. But as time passes, and the circumstances of the guerrilla struggle that ended that day in the N~ancahuazu' fade from memory, Che, more than ever, is present in the thoughts of all those who struggle and hope. He is part of the fabric of their daily lives. Something of him remains attached to their heart and soul, buried like a treasure in the deepest, most secret, and richest part of their being, rekindling their courage and renewing their strength.
One day in May 1972, the opaque silence of my prison, jealously guarded by hundreds of soldiers, was broken by a tremendous din. I learned that Fidel was visiting a model farm only a few hundred yards away, no doubt unaware of my presence in the secluded Moorish house on the hill whose roof he could glimpse above the treetops. It is certainly for the same reasons of discretion that this very house was, not so long ago, chosen as a torture center by the colonial army. At this moment, the memories flooded back. A kaleidoscope of faces passed before my eyes like an old, faded newsreel. Never since we parted had Che Guevara been so vivid in my memory.
In reality, my wife and I have never forgotten him. A large photograph of Che was always pinned to the wall of our prison and his gaze witnessed our day-to-day life, our joys and our sorrows. But another smaller photo, cut out of a magazine, which I had stuck onto a piece of card and covered with plastic, accompanied us on all our wanderings and is the one that is closest to our hearts. It is now in my late parents' house in Maghnia, the village where I was born, where we deposited our most precious souvenirs before going into exile. It is the photograph of Ernesto "Che" Guevara stretched out on the ground, naked to the waist, blazing with light. So much light and so much hope.
Notes
  1. The first guerrilla battle of Guevara's forces in Bolivia took place in the Ñancahuazú' region, where the base camp for the combatants was located.
  2. On Oct. 22, 1962, Kennedy initiated the "Cuban missile crisis," or October Crisis as it is known in Cuba. The U.S. president ordered a total blockade of Cuba, threatened an invasion of the island, and placed U.S. forces around the world on nuclear alert. Washington demanded the removal of Soviet nuclear missiles, which had been installed in Cuba by mutual agreement of the two sovereign powers. Cuban workers and farmers responded by mobilizing massively in defense of the revolution. Faced with the determination of the Cuban people, and the knowledge that an assault on Cuba would result in massive U.S. casualties, Kennedy negotiated with Soviet premiere Nikita Khruschev, who decided to remove the missiles without consulting the Cuban government.
  3. Fellah is the Arabic for peasant. Harkis were counterrevolutionary auxiliary troops organized by the French colonial army in North Africa.
  4. In 1963 Moroccan forces, backed by Washington, invaded Algeria, which had won its independence from France the previous year after an eight-year revolutionary war. At Algeria's request, the Cuban government sent a column of troops under the command of Efigenio Ameijeiras, a veteran of the Cuban revolutionary war, to help stop the attack. The mere presence of Cuban troops forced the Moroccan government to back down and withdraw its forces.
  5. Approximately $3.3 million at current exchange rates.
  6. This speech appears in Che Guevara Speaks.
  7. Stanleyville was the former name of Kisangani, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire). Between April and December 1965, Guevara led a contingent of more than 100 Cuban volunteers assisting revolutionary forces that were fighting the regime in Congo, which was backed by Belgian, South African, and other imperialist forces. In January 1961 Patrice Lumumba, the leader of the fight for independence from Belgium and first prime minister of the Congo, was murdered by proimperialist forces backed by Washington, after being disarmed by a U.S.-led United Nations "peacekeeping" intervention.
  8. The presidents of Tanganyika (now Tanzania), Egypt, Mali, Ghana, Kenya, and Guinea respectively.
  9. Sukarno was the president of Indonesia until 1967.
