On D&D night, I watched:
Nothing.
What did you watch?
Only some reruns. I hit the hay early, after trouble sleeping the
night before. Unfortunately, that only kicks the can forward a
day.

On Wednesday I did a bit of DVR clearing and watched:
2026 MTV Video Awards - This was pretty much background noise. I had
*no* idea Madonna was still cranking out new music! After winning an

Survivor - "Weaponized Honesty" - A word to the producers of "Survivor,"

Not slap a bandaid on the stump and give the remains to Jeff as trophy!

I was surprised too. I turned on the TV and there was Madonna
performing the opening act.

The thing you have to remember is unless it's a serious health risk
the players get the choice to stay or leave. That guy clearly DID NOT
want to leave the game. So he got to stay, for now. I don't believe in
his ability to not hurt himself more in the future.

I'm not sure how an amputation isn't a serious health issue.

It wasn't good but it wasn't that bad.
Only about no more than a quarter inch. Painful and not something I
would want to go thru but something that still left even that finger
useable. Plus they had the doctor there to properly treat and see that
it was covered.
If it were a truly serious health issue the player would not get a
choice about removal from the game. They have removed players before
that didn't want to leave but the medical staff felt the issue was too serious to leave the player in the game.
