i think the investors should demand some more style from the farms, this potatoe/cotton grinding isnt super interesting, also these videos could be longer

The videos aren't interesting and should be longer at the same time? I agree that it could be more interesting since they are basically just grinding for cash but that is the only way to have it as a competition unless you had some sort of GB vote for most stylish farm but then it is basically just a Kessler or Lemon contest. Personally I like the shorter updates, I thought it was a bit long this week.

Interesting how the older ladies at my previous job couldn't enter a sales invoice properly, but mastered this UI somehow.

I think we probably should have started up a community farm at the same time and run side by side with the interns. You know, to show 'em how its done

Interesting so Steve is withholding expanding his farm where as Kessler is.. How long is this going on? Cause it's a question of which goes faster earning more from a bigger farm or keeping the money as you don't make enough of a return on the short haul.

For entertainment sakes, they should make the competition not just about money making, but about how the farm looks as well. Like it'd be a lot more interesting to see Steve actually going for the dairy farm. Otherwise we're just watching them plant the same crops over and over again, which could get dull quickly.

I'm of the opinion that FarmVille might be taking over the world. Interesting to see where it's going. I swear I saw someone surreptitiously playing it at work today.

The overalls and wheat are on the wrong people. Straw hats and wheat go together. Overalls and trucker hats go together. Not vice versa.

I love how this has started ramping up to crazy levels. I have to say though, Kessler probably has it in the bag at this point.

Kessler's Super crop is mesmerizing. I nearly lost my soul in his 20X20 plantation! It was like staring into one of those 3D picture books.

They did get "There are a lot of people coming to my farm to fertilize animals" in there, wouldn't the joke get old if they repeated it?

Haha. Farmville is so stupid. I can't stand these "games" that just require to click on stuff and bug your fake Facebook friends. Granted, I realize that much of PC gaming is just pointing-n'-clicking, but somehow, "adventure" games and RTS' are just more engaging, and not nearly as insipid as Farmville. 
 
Needless to say, I'm glad Giantbomb is playing it! XD

Okay after this check-in I'm gonna have to change my vote to Kessler. I think he is going to win, considering that he actually managed to go to England.

So sorry Steve, but Bodega's Buttbarn seems to be (cue Charlie Sheen voice) WINNING!
