Didn’t see that coming. The moment Sapphira was announced as Miss Congeniality, I had a feeling she wasn’t going to win. Clearly, the other contestants slept on Nymphia. Since she’d never lip synch, no one knew her capabilities. That she was a choreographer for K-Pop groups should have been a clue. I am willing to bet that Plain Jane regrets saving her with the potion. Speaking of Plain Jane, that was bad sportsmanship of her to leave before the show was over.

I don't think pooling your skills to make it further in the race is a popularity constest. Danny is good at navigating, Amber is good at puzzles (well at least better than Angie). Why shouldn't they help each other? Also as multiple people have pointed out, this has been going on since season one. So it hasn't "become" anything. It always has been this way. It's just happening more often this season because of the covid setup (bunched starting and all self driving). That's about the opposite from what is happening here. Building alliences and showing your worth to other teams is a skill, just like driving stick and being physically fit. What you are describing is a team that lacks any and all social skills.

Yeah, the dentist says "I don't stuff anything *ha ha* down anyone's throat. But Balance of Nature has worked for me. It's easy, take it, it's going to help." I think he probably could have phrased that differently.

She faked her death how many times? Including just recently with the bear. The fact nobody was at least entertaining the idea and the toes is bad writing. Nobody was willing to listen at all even with the Sheila history. Deacon knew she was dead. He went to morgue, had a funeral, he took her to be cremated, he knew and said to everyone it was her face, but the toes didn't add up.

I never thought he was guilty because of who was playing him. But then he got her son a new job and suddenly grew suspicious. Does an innocent man court favor from the person he now suspects is investigating him? It made the story very intriguing. It's an element of complexity typical in shows by the Kings with the backdrop of a Colombo-esque case-of-the-week kind of show.

I hope Plane was cut for her mean girl attitude. RuPaul should not have rewarded that behavior. I was surprised that Nymphia won. Thought Sapphira had it in the bag. But no complaints...well, maybe I found Nymphia's banana branding tiresome but she sure did pull herself together for the runways. (Half-hearted clapclapclap)

I made the Soup Nazi's Mulligatawny Soup for supper. Then I made Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. MrP914 had two helpings of each (but he can get away with stuff like this because he walks 3 miles 😵‍💫 every other day and has no weight problems at all). This dessert was a splurge for us and geez, it was so good!

Lol at the last line of the episode after the proposal: You can see the bridge. I guess you can. It's 10 feet away and it's humongous.

This kind of cartoon villainy doesn't work when the show isn't particularly funny in the first place and ends up with an episode that is dead serious. Sure, many CEOs are little more than sociopaths but Vault-Tec insane plan should have been laughed out of the room by everyone who wasn't stark raving mad. "Oh, yeah, let's hide underground for decades or even longer in order to achieve some vague utopia - even though we are portrayed as incredibly selfish, so we shouldn't give a fuck about any utopias in the first place". The Brotherhood forgiving Maximus just like this was rather silly but it was funny how they called his dumb bluff with the random head immediately. You know, if Lucy's dad was in the conspiracy all along, you would think he would have known Moldaver's people were not from Vault 32. I guess the joke was that the descendants of executive assistants tend to be obedient and that's why Vault 33 is such a tidy place but it felt rather flat. Seeing the brain in the robotic contraption only made me realize how much better many of the show's themes are developed in Fallout New Vegas: Old World Blues. It's also far, far funnier than the show. All in all, for me the show ended up being mostly style over substance and it's too bad because Nolan managed to do wonderful things on a much smaller budget in Person of Interest.

Today deteriorated fast. I had to drive right across town, with every single traffic light stuck on red and every intersection blocked by four motorists threatening to kill each other. Then I had to drive back again... I'm knotted with cramp in both feet and shins, both hands, And (a new one) both hips, plus my stomach. Trying to fix that brake light took it out of me big-time. On Garden Patrol I could only walk 12 steps before stabbing back pain made me pause to give it a chance to fade. We had a slow Patrol tonight! And I brought back a couple dozen real burrs. Not sweethearts. I'd post a photo but the forum isn't allowing that option for some reason. (OK, saved and re-edited to get the photo in.) Showering was also a chore. My right hand and right thigh are hurting and I can hardly type a word. Sometimes a simple word requires 15-20 corrections. My eyes are in full blinky mode. I've already taken a couple of Panadol and maybe the aches & pains are fading, but it's hard to tell for sure

You should! I had shingles when I was in my thirties and I *might* wish it on my worst enemy. It was a month of agony, and I have scars to remind me of it for the rest of my life. As soon as I was eligible for the vaccine, I ran to the pharmacy to get it! Sorry I missed live chatting, my lovies! I got my schedule all confused. Thought RuPaul was at 9 pm but it was at 8 pm so I came in late for that and so was late for this. Next week I will be here timely, promise!

I guessed after Plane got the body suit number she would not win. Then Michelle commented on expecting several bodysuits but it would be hard to layer decorated bodysuits and not have it look strange. I didn’t like Sapphira’s breasts in the first outfit, they looked like plastic balls. I have watched every season and this is the first one I didn’t have a preference for the winner. Congrats to Nymphia!

Absolutely amazing! I was convinced it was preordained for Saphira but woohoo! So happy for Nymphia! Despite Saphira’s mesmerizing opera chops, Nymphia finessed her way to the crown! I have to say they showed their hand by tying Saphira for Miss Congenuality. But Nymphia blew the lipsynch away! All hail our new queen!

This was also an asterisk -- they all wrote Arkansas.

Only if you conclude that TAR has become a popularity contest and is no longer a race. Only if you accept that you aren't physically fit and can't drive stick but you should still win because you Mean Girled the talented teams out early by manipulating an alliance of dumb-asses.

I just have to flush out my previous post: He and his show (writers, staff, etc.) are so much better than Seth, Colbert, et al, that there's no comparison. JK's got the talent for this job. I've watched late night shows since Jack Paar and Johnny Carson. I remember when that dolt, Letterman came on in the 80s, lovable tho he can be, he's a complete idiot sometimes. Kimmel, on the other hand, seems to try to be an idiot, and he succeeds, (see ManShow or CrankYankers, or where he inserts cuss words, etc. -- hey, nobody's perfect), but damn does he relate with people, and draw out the very best from every body he has on his show. It's a talent, a gift that none of the rest possess. Then there's his monologue, to which some credit must go to his writers at ABC, but he's the talent, and I'm sure the main contributor to the script. Nobody has ever compared to Jimmy Kimmel, and I've watched them all. Now as to how much he's paid...let me google that for ya one sec.: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a42711108/jimmy-kimmel-net-worth/ So what is Jimmy Kimmel's net worth? Oh, just $50 million buckaroonies, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Additionally Cosmo said he gets like $15M/yr. I don't care, and tho he's bought a few houses, etc., Jimmy don't act like it's his end-all, be-all, either. He's bigger than some stupid money. And if his damn show wasn't always near the bottom of the talk show ratings (shows the kind of taste and IQ that the American viewing public has) he might get some kind of Mahomesian offer to sign another 5 years. But BOY will miss him. Hell, the USA is nearing Civil War II so there won't be any TV or electricity anyway. So it really doesn't matter much. I heard Craig Carton say how Jimmy's "not funny." That was all it took for me to continue watching Carton's stupid show, the crazy ARodgers-loving SOB can KMA. He's the king of all late night talk shows, ever!

Don’t give up.

I, too, really enjoy the young actor playing Thomas, he is very good. I was hoping he would not give the 'magic" card back, but maybe Thomas will spy on Kon and figure out what he is doing with it.

The more I see of the precursor to the "Georgie and Mandy Show" the more it appeals less to me. Unless they find a way to keep the rest of the original cast around the less interesting it will be to me. I love Will Sasso and I've seen the woman that plays his wife on other shows before and both have been way more interesting elsewhere. I did love it that Mandy had a Donny Osmond poster in her bedroom, but she would have been kind of young to have been a Donny fan, at least at the age he was in the poster when teen magazines were still featuring him. I was a Donny fan, but he was close to my age and by the time she came along he was not being regularly featured as a teen idol anymore. He is about 9 months older than me and she would have been about 10 years younger. She would have been around 6 years old when the Donny & Marie show ended.

He was calling her "that woman" before. Is b*tch any better? No. Both sound misogynist to me. I dislike the way he treats women. Mostly very condescending. But he's that way with everyone, ain't he? Despicable character -- and has been for 40 years. Oh Sharon, take your balloon face, stuffed chock full of injectables to the point of bursting before our eyes, & go fuck off. Your advice sucks & you don't have the background to be acting like some kind mental health professional. SFTU and go serve up coffee & muffins, hun. Now, that said, I actually agree with Adam's skepticism. I don't trust that AI robot lady for one second. And if it was me she was accusing of being a bad parent & laying all the fault on me, she'd have a gotten a big fuck you from me. And I'd like to see how an AI robot lady would respond to some anger and a big fuck you. Sharon's shitty advice never took into account that they coulda left the kid in some fake-out place . . . OK, so Ashley's next personality is who? Combo of Scarlett O'Hara, Blanche Dubois, Blanche Devereaux & a reject from a crappy ep of Designing Women from 35 years ago? Oh Joshie-poo, you are expecting way too much from Eileen. All we saw was one tiny preview & she was painfully awful. Ugh. Hey Drinki, what brand of breath mints are ya gobbling up? I wanna buy stock in those!

Could "Harlequin" be accepted for FJ? The pronunciation could be the same.

The Finale is finally here! Thankfully, WoW wisely decides to reward viewers for perservering through what has sometimes been a slog of a season by presenting us with a largely brisk, entertaining hour of celebration. After reintroducing all of the season's contestants -- Plasma in particular is sleek and sophisticated, and Amanda really needs makeup lessons -- each of our three finalists get high tempo numbers to showcase their branding. Nymphia is pretty good, and Sapphira is sophisticated and assured, but Plane gets saddled with a boring number which attempts to celebrate her basic fashion choices. She does not look happy about this, and I do not blame her. This time. Plane is quickly cut, and we get a surprise when both Xunami and Sapphira are crowned Miss Congeniality. "Cool!" I think. "The first winner also to get Miss Congeniality!". And boy am I wrong, as after Nymphia provides a zesty lipsynch to "Padam Padam"...she wins! Wow,was I wrong about the outcome on this, and it doesn't make much narrative sense in the context of the season, as she rarely was its focus. Still, her fashion was killer and she's absolutely got some stellar dance moves. Still: what happened, Miss Cristal?

I think we need a Ghost Rules category pinned to the top of all the threads for helpful clarification of questions. ☺️

I think it wouldn't be considered ground till it hardens. But that brings up another question: Can ghosts not swim? Would they just fall through the water, if you threw them in a lake? If they can swim, then yeah flower probably should have been able to float up in the concrete.
