    She still looks the same small size in other outfits, so I’m thinking it’s different bras. 

     When she's in St. Tropez, you can see the wide separation between them, especially since her ribs are showing.  She's leaning over on an elbow, but the boobs aren't leaning.  At all.

    For those  that don't know,  an eggplant is  an emoji for penis

    And when you buy an eggplant, look at its bottom.  If there is a round button, the eggplant is a male with fewer seeds.  If there is a longer slit, it's a bitter female eggplant.  (SERIOUSLY)

    I really want to see this but don't have HBO. I can get a Roku from the library but it doesn't have that HBO Max, just HBO Now. 

    Considering that the show is premiering on the HBO cable channel, I bet you'll be able to see it.

    NBC is carrying it. Sat 4ET.

    My bad not noticing that

    I saw the listing, but it didn't say what program would be shown.  That would be great--I think the US men's programs will be a lot more interesting than the women's!

    @peachmangosteen, USA is airing everything except Men's and Women's free skates (NBC will cover those).

     I couldn't find the men's short program on USA.  Do you know when that will be on?

  6. Whoever decided to have the proposals with the crashing waves needs to be fired.  At least mike them better!  

    There could be a great parody of this where no one knows who she picked because they couldn't hear...

    Don't forget a lot of the pressure athletes are under is also self-imposed. Figure skaters tend to attract harsh perfectionists. Nathan seems like that prototype -- someone who is always seeking perfection in everything he does.

    Very true.  My original post was addressed to those who seem to believe that NBC needs to stop proclaiming him the next Olympic champion BECUSE it is creating pressure ON HIM.  No... NBC predicting a US gold medal is smart on their part because it will attract viewers.  That's why they're in business.  If Nathan can't handle the pressure, well, he's been through this once before so maybe gold isn't in his future. And Vincent seems to have the chops.  The winner is the one who CAN handle the pressure--whether internal or external.

    I have yet to hear anything the Karolyis actually did to train/improve the gymnasts, other than starve, isolate, and terrorize them.

    Well, we won no medals BEFORE the Karolyis and the US women's team coach in 1984 (Don Peters) was later accused of sexually abusing gymnasts.  

    Once the Karolyis were here we started winning.  If you want a comparison, look at the men's team in these last 35 years. If it's just hard work, the men should have won comparable medals. yet, not a one has reached his potential and the US has lost the big competitions with stupid mistakes.  (Don't get me started on Sam Michulak.) 

    (NOTE:  THIS IS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION POSED BY THE QUOTE AS TO WHAT THEY BROUGHT TO US GYMNASTICS, NOT DEFEND THEM AGAINST OTHER CHARGES)

    The pressure on Nathan has to be overwhelming.

    Not really.  The Olympics are not what they used to be.  If it wasn't for Simone's issues, the Summer Olympics would have passed with barely a blip.  I don't know anyone who actually watched them outside of fans dedicated to specific sports.  They are no longer Must-See TV. 

    As for the Winter Olympics, few people even know they will be on this February. And men's figure skating was NEVER as popular as women's skating. The best he can hope for after winning is Dancing with the Stars and a tour in Japan.  

    Hopefully, he can get his head together.  If not, there are plenty of others waiting in the wings. In any case, he has a full life ahead of him.

    UpTV is starting their Christmas movies on 11/5, with premieres on Saturdays and Sundays. I didn’t delve into whether it will be movies 24/7 or if they will have regular shows on during the day or only movies at night…

    UP is actually showing my all-time favorite holiday movie:  A CHRISTMAS MOVIE CHRISTMAS about a Christmas Movie devotee and her cynical sister who end up in a dream sequence of actually LIVING in a Christmas movie.  No holiday movie cliche is overlooked:  in one sequence, they are walking down the street and getting annoyed by all the handsome men carrying stacks of presents who keep bumping into them.  And they are visiting an aunt who is making a gingerbread house and every time you see her, she has created an elaborate scene like Fifth Avenue, a complete circus etc.  It would be fun to count them all!  (Or have a drinking game)

    It will be on Halloween night, 9 pm EST; Nov. 21, 9 pm and Dec. 22, 5 pm.

    Something I forgot about until a few minutes ago (maybe I'm the one who has memory issues)  . . . There was a commercial for the fall movies and there were a few scenes that looked like Signed, Sealed, Delivered(including one that looked like RIta having a baby) but the movie isn't in the app under Fall Harvest.  Did anyone else notice that?

    I don't remember seeing that, but you got me curious, so I looked around and found that SSD movie #13 will premiere on HMM on Sunday Oct. 17 at 9 pm.  I've put the plot summary in a spoiler:

       REVEAL SPOILER

    FYI:  The entire series of movies/hour-long episodes will be shown this coming week.  The hour longs will be run in order 3-5 pm EST  M-F with the movies starting Thursday with the rarely shown Signed Sealed Delivered for Christmas at 7 pm EST and the original one at 11 am Saturday followed by the rest Saturday until 11 pm in a marathon and Sunday.

    Bill is obsessed with obesity and obese people...and it's not the kind of obsession that's one of concern or of caring about people who might have health problems from their condition...it's an obsession of condemnation of them. 

    Based on his comments, though, I think he is more obsessed with how little doctors address obesity and diet with THEIR PATIENTS.  As he once noted on the show, medical students get almost no education on how diet affects everything from high blood pressure to diabetes.

    It's okay to show events in their entirety, even if Team USA winds up not being a factor for the podium (looking at you men's gymnastics... or rather, not looking at you since NBC couldn't be bothered most of the time.)

     

    The US Men's Team is an embarrassment.  A history of dumb mistakes, choking in clutch performances and a lot of hubris.  No wonder Simone didn't want them on her tour.

    Let them live up to their potential and then they'll be the main attraction.

    I do wonder how people in the future will view this season, looking back five, ten, fifteen, years down the road.

     

    They'll think, FINALLY!  People of color get to dominate the game!  The white jocks who often sail to the end go out first!

    At those ages, it’s hard to have the confidence you need to perform and still not buy into the press about you.

    MaryLou Retton won all-around at 16; Nadia at 14, Gabby at 16, Sunisa at 18.  

    Gymnasts need media training and realistic expectations as part of their training.

    I get that the dad is more newsworthy but this interview was horrible in making it sound like it was all about her dad being there for her.

    He's not her biological dad and her parents aren't married.  She adopted his last name but he has never legally adopted her.  (NOT SURE THOSE REPORTS ARE TRUE.) 

    Her mother may be upset about the situation ^  .   She also may be shy and have a poor command of the English language.

    casually named dropped Oprah as one of her well-wishers.

    That's because she's going to do an interview with Oprah, probably prime time NBC.

    Jade’s floor routine was choreographed by Betty Okino, so it’s not like it was a random person with no understanding of artistry. Betty was the best turner in her day, so I love that she didn’t put a wolf turn in Jade’s floor routine.

    Well, Betty was a Karolyi girl so I guess that's why it seemed like Bela stomping around.  And what was that awful music?  If skaters can use better music (in terms of Olympic rights), so can gymnasts.  I hate to think who she used before Betty!  Boy, I remember the days of the great Russian choreography.
