What’s the topic on?Just giving myself record of this statement:
It is January 6th, 2020 and i began writing my second book this morning.
I’m not liking this post Capt.Yeah, she definitely was. Jade and Tanner met on Bachelor in Paradise after both failed in their original seasons on Bachelor/Bachelorette. They were the first ever successful pairing out of Paradise.

They're getting investigated for cheating in daily fantasy currently.
So that's cool.
How does one cheat in daily fantasy
Daily fantasy scandals are nothing new. With everything publicly available, the winners, who often pocket seven figures in cash, tend to have their lineups scrutinized by the daily fantasy (DFS) community.
After the NFL Wild Card games ended on Sunday, DraftKings showed that the winner of its Fantasy Football Millionaire contest was Jade Roper. The same Jade Roper who was on The Bachelor Season 19 and met her husband Tanner Tolbert on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2.
It didn’t take long for DFS Twitter to start posting evidence that Roper and Tolbert potentially violated DraftKings’ rules to gain an advantage over the field. The company announced on Monday morning it was “looking into this matter.”
“We take the integrity and fairness of our contests very seriously,” the company’s statement said. “The DraftKings compliance team reviews the results of all major contests to ensure they comply with our Terms of Use and applicable state regulations. We take the integrity and fairness of our DFS contests seriously, and prizes are not paid out until our reviews are complete.”
At the heart of the issue is whether Roper and Tolbert conspired to ensure their lineups had limited overlap on key players. Doing so would violate DraftKings’ rules, which say that “team-building complementary lineups which serve to work together and executing a strategy that may create any unfair advantage” is unacceptable.
An example DraftKings’ gives:
“You and a group of friends collaborate in NFL contests to each draft different QBs and WRs to guarantee you aren’t competing as directly with each other.”
This led to folks like William Bierman, a 30-year-old professional daily fantasy player, to begin looking into the lineups of Roper and Tolbert soon after Roper won. He went to RotoGrinders, which allows anyone to search the entries of various players. He said he started with Tanner Tolbert’s entries then looked at his wife’s.
What he saw was alarming.
“I saw it immediately,” Bierman told The Action Network. “One of them took Saturday’s quarterbacks, the other took Sunday’s quarterbacks. They both faded the most popular wide receiver Michael Thomas and both didn’t use Brady. And, even though this is their first win, they’ve done this before where one takes the maximum entries on one quarterback and the other takes the maximum entries on another.”
What I have learned right here and right now is that I do not understand the first thing about daily fantasy.
I don't understand the technical details but a husband and wife with separate teams that are colluding to not compete against each other sounds like cheating to me.What I have learned right here and right now is that I do not understand the first thing about daily fantasy.
My good friend just had twin boys a few weeks back. He named them Juan and Amal.
He only carries around a picture one of though.
Because if you've seen Juan you've seen Amal.
8k Tv's are dumb.

These girls are smokes...so are their sistersIt looks like 90-Day is a re-run. The new one isn't on until Sunday, I think. I am watching the Bach now, of course.
