How big a time jump? A week or two wouldn't change anything. Tommy goes off; Maria allows them to go after him.... Correct: not an inkling. They did make it more clear that she was uncomfortable with how it went.

I'd love to tell you that is the case but no. Pen or pencil is fine and even going slightly outside the circle won't invalidate your vote anymore. The only way your vote won't be counted is if you deliberately spoil it in some way.

Some 50s/60s housewives read A LOT of tabloid news. My maternal grandmother was one of them - at least AFTER she came to Canada. She'd read imported magazines from Hong Kong. I can't read Chinese, but recall covers with celebrities, etc....I think that's where she got her fake news from...(e.g. you get HIV from swimming pools). My mom either didn't know what she was telling me or didn't correct her because it was improper for her to do so.

Tournament of Champions - Season 6 Discussion Thread
bad things are bad replied to Harry24's topic in Tournament Of Champions
It just seems tragic to give them wagyu beef, then essentially force them to turn it into sausage. -
My point is a different one than just that characters like Jimmy and Kiki shaming Ava for blackmailing. Neither Jimmy, as far as we know, nor Kiki know the information Ava is using. Yes, I agree with you on this different point that you are making -- people are telling Ava what she did was wrong. I'll add in Diana, who tells Ava her aura is now rancid. But Jimmy and Kiki only seem to be concerned that Deborah, in their words, holds a grudge. Although, admittedly, Kiki, to some degree, did pass along a bit of judgment, in general, too. I agree with you the season is leaving toward Ava being wrong, and I think throughout this season, what will play out is the cost of both the blackmail and the toll of head writer job on Ava. It may prove to be true that Deborah is right that Ava is not equipped for that particular job, with all its demands. Other things that I think will play out this season is that Deborah will ultimately do what Ava accused her last season of never doing: Deborah will put someone else before herself. Actually, frankly, we've already seen Deborah do that in season 1 when when she put on death pall make up and wore sweats and no wig over to DJ's apartment knowing that paparazzi would take less than flattering pictures of her. But the sacrifice this season, I'm speculating, will likely involve grander stakes and be a sacrifice for Ava's sake. I also think it's possible, if not likely, we'll hear the phrase "big, brave girl" again in a positive, encouraging (and, no, not sexual) way. In other words, I think Ava's heading for a bad fall, figuratively, and Deborah will be there for her. My point above was that, that general criticism - blackmail is bad - doesn't get at the heart of the violation of trust Ava undertook. As I said above, Ava twisted the truth to create an outright lie -- Deborah did not sleep with Bob to get the job. If you freeze on the draft email she sent to the New Yorker, Ava claims that she just learned that Deborah slept with Bob in order to get the job and she felt responsible in letting the New Yorker know that's how Deborah acquired the job. That is all an outright lie, in two ways. Ava neither just learned about it, nor does she believe Deborah slept with Bob in order to get the job. Second, Ava is putting her self-interest in being head writer over the No. 2 spot over the emotional and psychological setback Deborah would experience in having one of her first attempts in being honest with a friend and sharing information she felt shame over being used against her. Maybe the writers will touch on that later this season. But they certainly haven't to date. I just saw an interview with Carol Leifer, who wrote the One Day episode last season. She used to write for Seinfeld in the early years, and is a more, shall we say, seasoned writer. She wasn't with Hacks this past season, and she mentioned having been 20 to 30 years older than all the other writers on Hacks. I think it's a shame all the writers are of a particular age group, because I'm really feeling a lack of a certain voice this season. I feel like I'm watching an entirely different, and much more immature, show.

Tournament of Champions - Season 6 Discussion Thread

I had a similar thought about Brooke's statement "Of course this chicken was cooked before putting it in the parchment" and then getting the "Oh no, it was completely cooked in the parchment." I mean, NOBODY would cook it first and put it in the parchment, and I think Brooke knows that. -
The problem with writing off Bobby and not killing him would mean that he's not around for major life events when you'd expect him to be around. If Athena's ever in trouble or her life is hanging in the balance, we'd wonder where Bobby is. If something were to happen to May or Harry, where's Bobby? Buck, Chim, Hen or Eddie? Where's Bobby. Even if you could get Peter Krause to show up in a recurring capacity, there's a very good likelihood he wouldn't be available. He has been steadily working for decades and there's no small chance that he'll get booked on another project that'd make scheduling difficult.

Mail in ballots don't have candidates' names on them. It's a slip with a line for you to write the person's name. No rule about pencils only.

So we're assuming no one else on the planet was doing any medical experiments or research or has gotten further with it over the past 5 years? Isn't that a lot to assume? Just because what was the name of the head out at Salt Lake? Marlene (I could be wrong about that) and the fireflies knew of that one doctor, facility and team I find it difficult to believe no one else anywhere has had an idea and access to medical equipment in the past 5 years? With the breakdown of transportation and communication during the event surely they don't have knowledge of what's going on in every corner of the world? Even 14 year old Ellie herself had the primitive idea to try her blood on the bite of someone infected. 🤔

Please tell me that using a pen invalidates their ballots.

Primo? 🥰 My mom loved Giorgio. I do not appreciate Jill trying to replicate the box it came in whether she meant to or not. I'm sure she selects her outfits very carefully in order to make sure all eyes are on her. I mean, could you resist staring at such a godly Christian woman sauntering down the aisle wearing a bright yellow outfit topped with a fascinator? You'd have to look whether you wanted to or not.

She'd just come back from the corner... store?

True. Probably some retired fire-breathing, right-wing warrior itching to march the US into another war (from the safety of his desk, of course).

We've had advanced polling the last few days and somewhat predictably a few from the right are already crying fraud. Some so called 'patriots' are insisting that the reason Elections Canada is having people use a pencil to mark their ballot is so they can erase the X and mark a different candidate. Apparently they've been making fools of themselves insisting on being given a pen to mark their ballot to prevent this from happening. It takes a special kind of stupid to believe this is actually a logical way for anyone to try to 'steal the vote' but here we are.

I don't think it's that simple because all actors have different skill levels and fan bases and would perform a role differently. Julia Garner is a popular, award winning actress that would absolutely bring more than 0 people. Do you honestly think A>B of Silver Surfer is played by Andy Dick or Bill Cosby, just because they are male?

Oh gosh exactly that. I was one of them minus the Valium. I didn't even know about wine back then 😄 It can be very boring unless one works very hard to cultivate like minded friends close enough by not to spend a long time in the car. And where we lived, parking was at a premium so didn't take the car out very often. Our finances were limited and I was alone a lot with two very small children. funny enough, I am old now, retired, just me and Mr lookeyloo and for some reason my days go by pretty fast and are mostly enjoyable.

I really liked the idea of Catherine paying her tithes by working in the ER. and then i thought about it some more, treating the ER like it's something beneath what she does in her real life, and now i think it's typical Catherine. Anastasia Barzee was 53 when the episode was filmed (and looks very good for it). Trevor Donovan is 42. An 11 year age difference is nothing. If Winston is against it because she is the one who is older, that is pretty sexist of him.

Since we're on the subject, there's something beige or green peeking out either under the shirt or over the top of the skirt. At first, I thought it was a modesty shirt under the blouse, but maybe it's Spanx or an equivalent. If so, that skirt either has a pretty low waist or she can't pull it up any higher. Yes, Giorigo! And it's in Jill's favorite decades.
