    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think they just panicked, doing it in front of a big crowd. One of them kept dropping her tokens on top of other tokens without even looking. Probably focused on the basketball part and not even paying attention to the tic-tac-toe.

    multitasking, outside of social media, isn’t a millennial strength.

    I was there too....you got a 711 coupon then. But, anyway yeah it looked neither of them had ever played tic tac toe before....it was terrible. One of them was trying to put her x over the the other ones o when the space was already taken, then she was looking at the board with plenty of time to win, but couldn't figure out to put her piece down to block the other one from winning.

    I hope he's classy about it. No reason to humiliate these ladies over something like that. They panicked. It was funny. I'd rather laugh with them than at them. But I guess that's not part of the "reality" show culture.

    :cheers:

    People panic all the time when they are put under pressure, and doing something like this in front of thousands of people probably amped them up quite a bit. This is being blown way out of proportion.

    They were teens.

    Not really though. This is basic basic problem solving that should be able ot be done while being distracted or pressured. IF this is the reaction/response to being in the light and feeling a little pressure form our youth, our progression into the future is in big trouble.

    I consider this along the lines of idiocracy.

    Seriously. Problem solving 101.

    I don't buy the excuse that they were feeling pressure. We all feel pressure at times and still have to perform.

    Sorry. IF they were little kids, Id have more sympathy.

    I hate to see any embarrassment befall the girls, but it is still baffling to me that they couldn't perform the simplest of games just because a little pressure. This wasn't just one brain frat. Both girls had epic fails.

    The winner certainly didn't look like a teen.(video posted in the game thread)
    Infact she looked like she had, had at least two children and was in her mid to late 30's.
    The loser looked like a college age kid though yes.
