xz Welcome everyone, to the new frontier! We may have been forced from our home, but Flipit has led the way to a new life! (sniff) I feel like Flipit is Moses leading us to the Promised Land!! I feel like Julie Andrews when she and Christopher Plummer made those little Von Trapp kids walk across the mountains to Switzerland!! Cliiimmb every mouunntain……. Whodunnit is the game Clue married to The Mole in the middle of the Hunger Games on an episode of CSI. It’s a contest where 13 competitors are charged with solving a weekly murder inside a grand mansion called the Rue Manor. Actually, there are 12 contestants and one murderer. BWAHAHAHAHAH!!! There are 3 areas of the home to investigate, but you only can select one of those areas. You have to rely on your housemates to get info about the other areas, and they can be less than forthcoming. Or they could be just plain stupid. At the end of the week, you must state your case. If your theory is the most off base, then that contestant could be the victim for the following week. Get it? The last one standing gets a cool quarter million bucks. And a life sentence in jail, I guess. The 13 “investigators” arrive at the Rue Manor and congregate in the parlor, and as with all good reality shows, someone starts passing out the liquor. Everyone’s talking and sizing each other up – and lying about their actual profession. As you will see, that may be a bad idea. What I found interesting is that each of the contestants is either related to or has an investigatory-type profession. Like Don – the ex-homicide detective. He tells everyone he’s a high school football coach. Cris the ex-beauty queen, tells him he looks just like a cop. Busted. Why does the mansion remind me of the Bachelor? I hate that damn show. No roses in sight. No douchey Chris Harrison. Good. I went to the ABC site to find some dirt on our investigators, and along with their bio, the site has excerpts from their admission forms. They kind of look like those forms that Playboy centerfolds fill out. Here are some highlights: Adrianna, 40 – TV crime reporter. Because reading off a prompter makes you an expert in crime solving. Her bio says she’s “outspoken”. Translation – highly annoying. Cris, 27 – ex-beauty queen whose father is a police officer, (PLEASE do not hold that against her.) Dana, 39 – cardiac nurse, (in her bio, she tricked her daughter with a brand new car and then told her it was only a rental. Bitch. If I did that to my daughter I’d be 6 feet under.) Don, 62 – ex-homicide detective. You’d think that would give him an advantage, wouldn’t you. Um, no. Geno, 33 – bar trivia host. Okay – what? I guess having a Cliff Claven-like retention of the minutest of details pays off. On a purely [...]
