Who were the commentators? Is it possible that
somewhere out there lies a team of rock, scissors,
paper retired champions/experts who now make a
livng from critiquing other player's moves?

I surfed passed it a few times as I was channel hopping and yes, they truly did have commentators. The guys on the stage playing the game also had nicknames displayed on the screen such as John "Twitchy Hand" Smith.

Okay, QQQ, I wasn't doubting you but it was hard to believe so I searched aetv.com and found this.

For $50K I would do this. I had a lot of respect for Dave Attel before this.

I also found this link.

Some people just have too much time on their hands.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Did anyone catch the semi-finals tonight?

If not, you missed a bunch. "Twitchy" was up two games to one with the score tied in the final round. It's well known amongst RSP affienados that Twitcy, when his back is against the wall, loves to throw scissors.

Yet tonight, there was controversy. Instant replay clearly shows that he'd played paper, but the ref ruled it (very incorrectly) as scissors!

For a while, it seemed as if there would be an all out riot amongst the rock, scissor, paper hooligans until the security force quickly swept away the disruptors.

I sincerely hope that the rules will be changed in time for next season. Tonight was an utter debacle and a perfect argument for allowing instant replay!

Until a couple of days ago, I typically woulld have made jokes about the RSP Bowl, but after witnessing first hand the type of training regimen that these world class athletes are forced to undertake, and studying the strategy of the game, I'm hooked!

Nope.....I was watching "important' stuff.....

Dirty Jobs.....Mythbusters..... And HGTV!

Did you catch that picture frame that played MPEG photo's?

How about the toilet with a remote?

Heated seat, seat lift, etc.(I wouldn't want to "trouble shoot" that thing)

And a TV mirror to boot!

Oh yeah, and some UGLY shower curtains ;-)

I almost forgot the "no mow" grass path!
Every day is a good day.......some are just better than others!
