I'm certainly hoping thats true.

Oh, I want to comment on the scoring before my final score pops up (and thus while Im still relatively unbiased. 1st- Its amazing!, 28th - New scoring system sucks). I like it. Different dramatic tension since you're not building towards a final top 2 or 3, instead you've got the uncertainty of where everyone will end up. The risk is that if you've got a top 3 prior to DOM 15 who are way ahead, and none of them are better than like 5th in Dom 15, you might lose some tension in the final 3 reveals since none will probably win. On the other hand, the variety is nice. Maybe one for Summer game and one for Winter game?

As a follow-up to this, I'd say that its well worth the cost if anyone's on the fence considering it.

I'm really appreciating the massive liking power of a gold account right now.

For the love of.... I'm going to end up losing by the 120-150k I missed out on by missing ~4 weeklies and a couple SotM's, aren't I? I was happier when it looked like JakeGittes was running away with it. I was happier thinking I was beaten by an overwhelimgly strong performance rather than my own incompetence.

You were just that amazing.

Um.. I think thats not Kayumanggi

Huh, I guess I did do better on pre-season than weeklies/SotM.

I'm watching. Its been 6 minutes. Another 20 seconds? 30?

Wow. Not a good season for me. Hopefully my pre-season scores were better. I think they were, if for no other reason than they couldn't have been worse.

Stumpy! Pegleg! Ass-kick-ee! Something pirate-y!

It was a tough decision, but I'm totally rooting for you instead of tetanus! Edit - I think I've either entirely missed or scored in the bottom half of everything in the game since the start of February. One nice thing about being at the bottom is you get a really good look at everyone else's shoes.

Oh, that China! Always causing trouble! Edit - I remain hopeful I'll find at least part of my shattered pride after that series of SoTM's, but its not looking good.

Wow. Don't see that every day.

She needs a spoken word album.

Dammit! I predicted Arrival for Mixing and Hacksaw Ridge for Editing and they won the opposite ones.

We were all just laughing at that!

I'm competing against my wife and both kids in predicting winners. Amusingly, we're all 2 of 3 so far.

Ali had one heck of a good week.

Argh. Its like I completely forgot about the "always abstain" strategy that got me this far. Ugh.

Well, crap. Thats what I get for gambling.

I'll take 20% of Beauty and the Beast.

50 Shades held much, much better than I expected.

Yeah. I remember going through it in late December and no one was even close. Edit - Oh, and I agree with Tele on part E. We can't do more than begin to score that yet. I went through that as well a while back and the only things we know for sure are that Moana is safe at #1 and Hidden Figures and La La Land are guaranteed to make the list *somewhere*. Everything else is entirely up for grabs. Iirc, like 5-6 different movies could come in #4 OR could miss the list entirely. Edit2 - Hidden Figures almost catching Trolls is pretty amazing.
