The best comeuppance of all is not being on television anymore.

Stay home.

You're not going to be on television anymore because I'm bored with you.

Like, what do you think really constitutes comeuppance for some of these people?

For some of these people, it's not getting to play anymore.

And if you still believe in comeuppance, man, give me a live feed of them sitting on the couch going, I would have been better than this.

That would have been more interesting than this.

They should have cast me.

I think the other thing I will say is that as they go more and more into all-star seasons, you get the feeling more and more that it's very influenced by relationships that you didn't get to watch and don't know anything about because they take place out in the world.

classic sort of first example of that where I saw it where I thought it was fascinating was in the first all-star season they ever did which involved Rob Mariano and Lex and some other people and I thought it was really interesting there because I hadn't seen it before but now you feel like I want to feel like what I'm watching is the result of what I've been shown sure

And when you don't know, like, who goes to whose house and who drinks at bars with who, it feels like, oh, well, I would not have anticipated that because I didn't have the information.

And so the more they go down this hole of essentially it's not a matter of all stars.

It's a matter of casting a bunch of people who already know each other.

I don't care for that as much.

And that started to show up in seasons like Heroes vs. Villains and even to some degree Fans vs. Favorites.

So anyway, I think this is not a bad pick.

It wouldn't be my number one, certainly, but... What would be your number one, Holmesy?

Probably Cook Islands would be my number one.

I am also a big defender of Fiji.

I hear you, bud.
