Reply To: Let’s talk about the Super Bowl.
I agree with @SemiEvolvedSimian and @Anne, and am sort of intrigued by @stevendj’s idea but might prefer it to be ‘Celebrity Sportsball’ in the same format as Celebrity Artemis.
How about a post-cruise sea monkey party in the JoCoTel where interested parties watch somebody’s TiVoed copy of the Sportsbowl? (Or during the cruise, if the cruise line offers replays of it at a convenient time and the people interested don’t mind missing even more sleep/shadow events.) I assume the reason people want to watch it as it happens is that they’re afraid of spoilers (because apparently the game is more important than a live show but becomes completely meaningless once one bit of information is revealed), but if they’re in the middle of the sea and then sequestered in a hotel shuttle, they can probably avoid finding out which ad/team/puppy won until they see it.
Edit: given that the Home Office tends to schedule whatever time they can in the big venues, if the evening were kept free, the people watching TV would still be missing a live cruise performance. It’s just that everyone else would be missing it too.
