Isabella seems very Barbara Jean-esque in her inability to understand why her presence made things awkward. It’s harmless fun on a Friday night but I was kind of confused on some things like why Isabella thought there would be pictures of her or drawings when no one knew of her existence? And are we to assume Bobbie’s dad was cheating on her mom with Isabella’s mom and that’s why she was kept a secret?

I just finished listening on Spotify and if I’m being honest I have sort of mixed feelings on her memoir and story.

Brandon and Theresa need a restraining order against C&T. They’re becoming more deranged by the day.

I don’t want to laugh because this is tragic due to children being involved but has there ever been a more TLC headline than “1,000 Lb sister star arrested for drugs after getting bit by camel”? Like the network should just shut down operations, they’ll never top this.

So what’s next…a weekly remote from San Quentin where Scott Peterson learns to ballroom dance? This show is such trash now. I miss the days when it was a bunch of a c and d list celebrities from yesteryear just having fun and dancing.

Jordan is far more mature than I am because I would be deep into petty right now and would have legally changed my name to 2024 Olympic Bronze Medalist on Floor Whitneywhit so that I could force them to refer to me as such at every competition going forward.

And the plot continues to thicken. The head of the panel that denied Jordan this last time has represented Romania for almost a decade now in other arbitration cases. So let’s add conflict of interest on top of everything else.

I’m already pre-annoyed for LA because I know Jimmy Fallon is going to be everywhere.

And hell no Jordan shouldn’t send it back. I’d wear that medal everywhere I went: class, grocery store, post office, competitions, the shower, the gym, and every December I would send the FIG and IOC a Christmas card and the card would be a picture of me wearing it

It’s amazing how the only times the FIG strips medals Is when people of color are involved. The Chinese in 2000 that, while yes it was deserved, the Soviets, East Germans, and Romanians blatantly lied about ages, hell Romania was lying about ages as recently as 1996 and who can forget the time they tried to pass off Lavinia Agache as Ekaterina Szabo. Gymnastics has gained so many fans thanks to seeing so many women of color succeeding, this is gonna be such a huge step back for that

From what I read, Romania did not want Jordan to lose her medal and both federations agreed to share the bronze, but the FIG and IOC rejected this and have asked Jordan to return the medal.

The IOC says no Latin/Ballroom dancing but yes to this.

In terms of difficulty outweighing execution, I’m gonna say something controversial that I usually keep to myself but Simone is lucky she competes in this era. There has been more than a few times over the years when some of her landings, particularly those huge steps on vault and some of her floor landings would have taken her out of contention for some of her titles under the 10.0 system.

The FIG is very clear on this that they can submit a line/time deduction review during the competition but it has to be done quickly, I think they have one minute to do it. I don’t know what kind of inquiry they submitted but if it was for the OOB and it was rejected then they’re SOL and if it was what they inquired about they’re still SOL because the time has passed.

Maybe I won’t cry over gymnastics in LA. I cried over Suni, the team gold, and now Rebeca and Simone and Jordan’s reaction to her winning.
