I was so resistant to getting it but I've had it for about two years now and my husband and I really like the sports coverage for the most part. I've heard that Peacock will only show skating events live and won't have replays available.

He did. He just didn't mention it on TV because it's a 40-minute show. Are you familiar with editing?

Oh, come on. The dog shelter representative may have been the person most available at the time. This isn't Animal Planet.

It looks like the armpit cutouts have created two butts flashing us.

They were all on a Zoom interview on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live.

Are we SURE? It LOOKS like the type of surgery women have for LOOKS -- like Dr. Phil's wife with the cheek implants. Jaw surgery is one thing, but hers ....

It's pretty much explained in The Offer: Italian American organizations protested that it was stereotypical, Frank Sinatra thought the character of Johnny Fontaine was based on him and was furious, Paramount was going broke and had the movie on a tight budget which upset Coppola, the studio wanted Robert Redford to play Michael Corleone and thought Al Pacino had no charisma, they forced Coppola to hire James Caan for Sonny, everybody worried that Marlon Brando would walk off the set at any minute. I'm finding the series FASCINATING.

When you're young and free, I think it's just a way to make quick money for the rest of your life--pay college debts, buy a house etc. I think it's fun. I think it's difficult to extricate yourself from it, though--look at all those "real housewives." But actors and athletes do it--many successfully. And many not.

Why, she bought expensive makeup. It just slid off that plastic face.

$300 a month for taxes, $100? a month for insurance PLUS lawn services ...

Not only that, but they don't have the pensions of teachers in blue states. The AVERAGE Florida teacher pension is $18,000!!! In New York, it's nearly triple that! No wonder there is a teacher shortage in Florida.

Don't forget the Crystal Cathedral out in Orange County. In my experience, once a charismatic preacher dies and one of this children takes over, it's a family cult.

I'm surprised nobody is talking about Kristen "the Happy Hoarder." I felt bad for her, but my biggest question is, "Where is she getting all that money to buy all that junk?" I'm really surprised that didn't come up.

Unless these women are disguised, I don't know why some down-on-their-luck guys at church, or in their neighborhood, or on parole JUST DON'T DATE THEM. They don't even have to steal their millions, just have her pay for their dinners, their cruises, their car repairs. The women get what they need and the guys get needed income. Cheaper than sending their retirement pay to Nigeria.

His interview with Andrea Joyce confirmed that! He said he was ready to skip Worlds and never thought he'd win a medal. He was definitely choked up.

I thought so too, but then I remembered that the commentators said she was sitting up. The incident awhile ago that was so scary was that Russian pair that fell out of a lift. Nobody mugged then! Why wouldn't you want Vincent or Ilia to medal?

Gary is talented and smart, but dear God, get him a stylist! I would be immediately turned off by his serial killer vibe, horrible yellow teeth and 1980 glasses that look like they are taped at the bridge. Yuck. New glasses and dental work would do wonders.

He also needs to change his serial killer look. Dear God, update those horrid glasses. The thick nose bridge looks like masking tape. And his TEETH. I know dentistry is expensive, but he could at least use whitening strip. I bet he has dandruff too. Maybe he just triggers me. He is every nerd guy I dated in the 1980s.

Maybe they'll fall in love WITH EACH OTHER. That would be the most shocking Final Rose ever.

Girl, wash your face. Those painted eyebrows do not do you any favors either.

But it does make for a great drinking game.

I blame COVID and its protocols. No one made the "rote and lifeless" comment when Beijing hosted the 2008 summer games.

OK, let me vent. NBC, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? I vacationed over Valentine's weekend and set my DVR to record the ice dancing competition. For some reason, the DVR didn't record them. No problem, I thought. I HAVE NBC BEIJING ON DEMAND and they have an entire category for Figure Skating. I checked the end date: 3/30 so I had plenty of time to see them. This morning, I got my coffee and watched Part 1 of the Rhythm Dance AND THEY HAVE DELETED PART 2 AND ALL OF THE FREE DANCE!!!! Yet, NBC still has 142 listings of CURLING EVENTS!! If anyone has cable with the On Demand, I would SO appreciate checking your Figure Skating listings to see if it is truly NBC or that awful Spectrum Cable that deleted it. Heads will roll!!!

Maybe they were there because Italy is hosting the next Winter Olympics? Sorry, but pure unadulterated joy is wonderful to behold! We should all have more joy of 4-year-olds in our lives!

I actually think the explosion actually started after Lillehammer in 1994, which was the best skating competition EVER. You had Nancy vs. Tonya, Gordeeva and Grinkov, Torvill and Dean, Katarina Witt, Brian Boitano, KURT BROWNING, Elvis .... AND Scott Hamilton was still skating professionally! It seemed like every week there was another pro competition. It's inevitable that sports' popularity rises and falls on its stars. Right now, the young girls I know are very interested in Cheer squads. Trust me when I say that Cheering can be as expensive as the other "glamour" sports. Gymnastics went through that cycle too. After Olga and Nadia, there was a blip and then after MaryLou, another blip. Then it was down again until the Karolyis took over.
