Strip Search - Paint the Line

"yet to be seen" doesn't mean it was filmed after this elimination or will even be seen in future episodes, there is far more footage shot than makes it into the final edit

Yeah, but I bet if you go and check it'll be the two contestants in different clothes than we've seen them wear, AND in a completely different venue than we've seen them in. I didn't go check so I could be wrong, but that was the case with all the other spoilers. It'd not a given but I'd say this one has been spoiled.
I'm seriously furious that these eliminations have been getting spoiled ALL season long because of that stupid teaser. I've messaged the PA crew about it a dozen times with no response. It really should have been taken down IMMEDIATELY when the show actually started, or never posted at all! AGH!
@hodumaru Seriously, what is wrong with you? Do you get off on ruining other people's fun?
Can't wait for Tuesday.
But I digress - Gratz on the win Katie!
A dick fractal???
I love Lexxy as an illustrator and editorial comicker, think she easily blows a lot of people out of the water in that respect. However, as a daily strip comicker, I think I'll still have to wait and see.
Enjoyed the episode. Though now I'm a sad panda that I have to wait until Tuesday to watch the elimination episode.
Edit: someone else tells me they just checked and this may be the very last scene in the teaser that hasn't been shown on the show yet. On one hand, thank goodness. On the other hand, it's sad that nobody involved in the show took any action despite being alerted to the spoilers numerous times. *sigh*
/To crush your enemies; to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of the women
Oh, it was fun to see them all playing with the staff. Everyone was having a great time with it. I just don't want to see two of my favorites duke it out in elimination.
In its current form, the show would be a lot stronger if they edited the social and competitive challenges into a single episode and simply alternated those with elimination episodes, which have all worked great because they emphasize the artists' personalities.
The source is actually "shitting dicknipples" and as a freebie hint: NEVER GOOGLE THAT.
Quite.
Also, the only reason Robert Khoo is "bad" at doubles is that he can't do the Khoo Woo, or he would probably slap someone into the wall.
By the by,..... Robert has MAD skills (even without the victory)....
She actually managed to get a Penny Arcade staffer to tell her to tone down the language. That's like Hugh Hefner telling you to maybe cut back on the sex a bit.
Lexxy... obviously I have a bit of a rooting interest here, and I've seen Monica's Hourly Comic Day efforts so I know for a fact she has it in her, but win or lose, you're already set to go for the next year and Cloud Factory is going to kick butt. (And you know whether you've won or lost but that's on embargo until Tuesday morning.)
EDIT: If anyone happens to be in Toronto this weekend, Monica's going to have a booth at TCAF and is selling Team Monica buttons. And also buttons of her saying 'shit'.
On an unrelated, but hilarious note: I loved Monica and Tavis cosplaying as one another! That was great! I appreciate the camaraderie that is developing among the artists!
I was particularly sad to see Erika go, and I am operation off the assumption Lexxy likely loses at some point since she is doing her Kickstarter. And as much as I have come to appreciate Monica coming out of her shell (she is genuinely funny) I am rooting for Lexxy to pull out a Thunderdome victory for vindication.
She has already created one of the best elimination comics to date. I think she can do it again.
Katie winning. Again.
Kiko's headband.
Lexxy vs Abby pre-game psych-out.
Monica's potty mouth.
Just like Pharylon I got in a few minutes and cut to the end. First time it happened.
I realize this was an attempt to showcase PA and demonstrate the culture of the office, hey its their show and they're trying to promote their company but there are better ways to do it and I'm wagering this is episode was a miscalculation. I'm not sure how big of an audience Strip Search has compared to Penny Arcade TV, and I'm not sure how much of a crossover there is... but my opinion is that this episode is going to be leaving the artist, cartoonist, and non-PA crowd feeling a little cold. Honestly in the end all that matters is what happens in elimination, and while the social challenges can make for the occasional fun episode, anything not related to the business of web comics should not be involved in the elimination process.
Granted I have no idea what the demographics of the audience are like, but this is going to be one of the shortest comment threads of the series I believe. Partially because I think quite a number of other people aren't going to be too excited about it, mostly because the episode gave nobody anything to talk about... unless you're really endeared to the contestants or you're obsessed with ping pong.
Reality shows thrive and die on audience discussion.
But you're from Brooklyn.
Still, Strip Search is by far my favorite webshow, and I'm looking forward to next week's episode! At this point, I feel like I've gotten to see and know enough about each of the remaining artists that I'd be happy for any one of them to win. They're all talented and would do well in the PA offices. I can't even pick a single one to root for, they're all great! Way to go, Strip Search!!!
Shitting dicknipples confuse him. Conceptually.
Great job, Katie, on selecting those for elimination. Spot on logic, and I'm looking forward to the showdown. Well, I always look forward to the showdown eps because of the fun with Jerry and Mike, but the sentiment stands.
Based on how this episode was cut, it seemed that Khoo gave up a nice few points (probably due to not being used to having that much momentum in his body before slamming or returning the ball), where as most of the points lost in the other matches were due to the Strip Searchers (and very few points loss due to the verteran PA crew). Again, it could have been cut specifically to show Khoo being knocked down a few pegs, but I have nothing else to go on other then the cutted version.
as a table tennis person, I don't mind watching more of it. even if every volley to me looks like a juicy smash or a easy loop. I liked they all enjoyed it and were having fun and getting to know all the PA crew
lastly, well we knew it was gonna happen lexxy and monica. man i like both of them, I hope they have an entertaining match.
...i thought she said "pig-nipples"
