Is Kessler oblivious to most of his money going to that hat that Steve bought?

Wha...? What happened to all Kessler's cash? I though he had 100s of thousands of coin-things?

...I find it weird that I still get excited about these.

Maybe it's just the content-starvation from the weekends?

Glad people were able to see my awesome turkey costume near the beginning.

I wonder how many more things can be Photoshopped into the preview image!

I can't see how much further Kessler and Steve can be rednecked besides putting dip stains on their mouths.

I think that the management should order them to make their farms more pretty. It's getting a little boring with all the planting. I want pastures and cow-enclosures! Steve's pub is definitely a step in the right direction.

If Kessler really doesn't know that he's missing 100k in coins from that stupid hat then that is pretty embarrassing, especially because he was coming out on top pretty clearly in the first few installments. At the moment, it's not even a competition.

Hopefully, Steve will blow all his money on cosmetic stuff, and Kessler can catch up.

If the "win conditions" still haven't been set, I'd say Lemon wins for the successful humiliation of the Buttbarn by putting that stupid hat on him with his own coins ON CAMERA. He even commented on it and yet apparently wasn't aware of the success.

Man.  Last check in, I was amused by the cheating, laughing at the haters and supporters alike.  This time though... the unfairness of it made me skip lemon's entire check in. 
 
Welp, I guess I'm rooting for Kessler.

Is Kessler still unaware of the fact that Steve was the one who spent that money?

@SamDrugbringer: Yeah, that's why Lemon's cheat was so bad. I mean, cheating in Farmville... whatever, but it ruins the competition. Lemon needs to meet some consequences for this to stay interesting.

Seeing as there is no prize, no winning conditions, it is farmville, they are interns that need humiliation to delight Ryan, and I'm not delusional - no, I don't think it is a real competition. However, for the sake of anyone watching this for any length of time it needs the appearance of some sort of conflict or struggle, otherwise... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Put on the FUCKING HAT!

Oh and for fuck's sake did Kessler leave his farm up on the other computer for Steve to have his way with it if it wasn't for Ryan stopping him?

I bet on you Bodega, this isn't giving me high hopes. Still though, the butts shall grow on!

Actually he's in control and as such does not give in to his urges to masturbate, making him master of his domain.  Just hope he stays away from Glamour Magazine.

Lol some awful word play with the kessler check in, if only vinny were there to back them up, would add another layer of groan inducing. Love it.

After seeing the reaction to the shenanigans last week, I hope Lemon actually does something really bad to Kessler this week, just for the comments.

I've met Kessler and I worry that he's too much of a gentleman to seek revenge. We'll see where Steve's stupid shit buying hubris may take him.

100k for a hat is probably the most unbalanced price/quality status.

I'm curious to see the investors' reaction to the sabotage. Screwing your fellow intern is one thing, but destroying you superior's investment is another altogether.
