For DRRR, Jacob usually did write-ups every two episodes instead of every episode, and maybe he's going for the same angle with these two. Or just more busy because he's writing the weekly lists these weeks since the usual writer is on vacation/travelling, I believe.


Honestly what's with this whole Jacob thing. I know Hope Chapman is like....yeah quite the internet personality to put it nicely, but what are we doing here people? Anyway there continually appears to be virtually no correlation between the ups and downs of the weekly rankings and the cumulative one so god help me if I can grasp any of this or if it even manages to serve it's limited purpose as a click bait discussion piece. If it just doesn't make any sense unless you just look at the weekly chart what's the point really?

Well, it's his name. Or at the very least has been for what, half a year? (I am very bad with time) I still default to calling him Hope because I'm also bad with names but noticed it when making that post because it's right there on the post I quoted so I changed it before posting.

Being halfway-decent people and using the names that people identify with and want us to use for them?

Yeah. Don't know what part of a name change you don't understand. Hope was never actually my first name anyway. It remains my middle name as it always was, but now I'm going by my changed first name instead of my middle name, which was and still is Hope. Pretty simple.

Review of eps. 5-6 of Joker Game goes up at 7 AM PST tomorrow btw. Sorry about the week off.

Will the results be updated with Jacob's reviews, or will they be added in for next week's results?
