10/27/16 Quick News & Notes

-Morgan was replaced on the eviction block by Whitney, but it was Neeley who was narrowly evicted over Scott 4-3. Danielle then became the new HoH.
-The next Care Pkg. will eliminate three eviction votes.
-Yesterday was the rare bad luck that neither car game player won a car despite spinning last in their SCSDs; this last happened on 1/20/15.
-Today was only the 2nd known time that a 0 was the 3rd digit in the price of an automobile on Cu (the 1st was on 5/3/96- $13,092 Dakota). It was also the 1st time since they discontinued using a wrong price from the get-go that there was no 0, 5 or 9 available as possibilities for the last digit.

-vine is NO MORE.
-Former “BattleBots” host Molly McGrath is now working at ESPn (prev., she was at FS1).

Garner & Doudart de Lagree, sort of the French Lewis & Clark of Asia, left Saigon in 1866 & journeyed up this river.

“What is the Mekong?”…it was that body of water. And then the other one’s picked by he at the same value under The Playwright Writes. He’ll gamble for a grand now.

“Time just outran me, big daddy– got there first.”

“Who is Tennessee Williams?”…that was a reference to “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”.
