First, that was a great show that just kept getting better and better as the night went on! 🎸

Second, sounds like the guys had some fun on some rides at Hershey Park today! 🎢

Third, I noticed Tyler changed the lyrics on Bitin’ List to “I’d wanna hug my babies” 👶👶

Fourth, I loved that they played a mashup of Pure Imagination and Candyman during the return to the main stage! So fitting 🍫

I’m wondering if anyone has a list or graph of each season for how many people remain on each day. If so I’d love to compare it to this season. I’m also wondering if there is a predictable rate of attrition.

I was in later time slots for both Drop 1 and the Visa Pre Sale. I’m seeing lots of posts here asking “am I cooked with my Drop 2 time slot” So I thought I’d try to share my experience in a realistic tone to help set expectations for people who have times on Aug 11-20.

If you are open to what sport you get to see and have a budget of $200 or more per ticket and have flexible dates for when you can go, you will likely be able to get tickets to something. Even if your time is on a later day. Otherwise, if you are after the first day or two you probably won’t be willing to buy what’s left.

If your time for Drop 2 is Aug 11 or later, here is my advice to you:

- Be prepared for tickets to cost $200-$800 each. Almost all will be in that range.

- Be flexible on dates. You’ll have more options for the earlier dates and fewer options for the later dates.

- Go in with the strategy of seeing what’s available and choosing from that. Rather than going in with any list of specific dates or sports or events.

- Keep in mind that whatever you see, you’ll be seeing the very best in the sport. And you’ll be seeing real people achieving lifelong dreams. Most of the people competing have spent years and years of their youth and young adulthood and spent tons of their own $$$$ to pursue these goals. No matter what you see, it is the culmination of someone’s beautiful athletic journey. It’s awesome that we have the chance to witness this :)

None of the prior drops or presales have sold out of all events. So I think it’s unlikely this one would. However, all of the prior drops and presales have sold out the sub $150 and high demand sports very quickly.

Here are the sports that were still available at the end of the Visa presale:

3x3 Basketball
Archery
Athletics
Badminton
Baseball
Boxing
Cricket
Football (Soccer)
Handball
Hockey
Lacrosse
Rowing
Rugby Sevens
Sailing
Softball
Sprint Paddle aka Canoe Sprint
Squash

Out of the options left for the days I can go, most of the events with tickets available are ones where people are literally fighting one another, which for me is an absolute no thanks. So the remaining options that appeal to me are Handball, Canoe Sprint and Archery. I’m thinking Canoe Sprint sounds like the best of those for me since it’s outside. But I imagine the viewing area will be very far from the course. Has anyone gone to an event like that before? Were you able to see much and was it fun? Is it better to view the start or finish? I’m debating whether to buy something now that’s not my preferred events or take my chances with future drops and resale.

I am loving all the amazing content we are getting this season! I’m wondering if the extra long episodes this season is a sign that it’s gonna go past 100 days… Without a doubt it shows what an excellent job everyone has done with both their survival skills and filming/storytelling skills.

I do a lot of high volume work photographing dance recitals and performances. I keep the camera on burst mode for when I occasionally want to get a few shots in rapid succession. Recently, the camera is occasionally continuing to take a burst of shots after I stop pressing the shutter release button. It continues for about 10 more shots. It does not happen every time, but it does happen several times during a performance. Anyone had this happen? Is this possibly a setting I unknowingly activated? Or is my shutter release button probably faulty?

Why does the fancy hand held alien bar >!work for some people and not others? What is so disastrous about a non authorized person gripping it? How does anyone know ahead of time who it will work for?!<

Why would Daniel give Jane >!his alien bar when he knows she can’t be trusted due to Noah being able to drop in on her!<?

Why didn’t Daniel get >!a recreated house? Didn’t he need help remembering too!<?

How does Hugo >!know everything!<?

What made Noah >!change his mind on his mission so quickly?!<

Where did the >!wheelchair alien come from? Was he just hanging out here with someone all these years?!<

Why was the >!wheelchair alien so tall compared to the aliens in the video footage!<?

Hey! Does anyone have closeup photos of any of the current hats being sold at the merch stands? Looks like there are several that aren’t available on the website. I’m debating whether to buy one there or find something ahead of time. I’d love to see which hats are a traditional baseball cap fit. I can’t wear structured trucker hats or flat brim hats - they look ridiculous on me. Thanks!
