I didn't see their whole program but there's a highlight out there of the Italian dance pair (Guignard/Fabbri) who won the gold this weekend. They must be watching Virtue and Moir highlights. They have a lift where her hoo-ha is basically in his face. What was the nickname for that lift that was floating around when V/M did that? Lumi should sign them up as spokes persons. Heh. C/B had better clean up their programs, or they're going to be staring up at this pair and G/P on the podium. This weekend's coverage of the World Gymnastics Championship was equally shitty. Thanks for nothing NBC. I really hate that the Olympic Channel is now gone. They would run repeats of figure skating and gymnastics events the week after. And swimming.

That purple dress from the rhythm dance? *CHEF'S KISS*

Well, holy fucking shit! This appeared as a reply on Jackie Wong's Twitter comment supporting Kaitlin Hawayek. SO WRONG: If this was the same person, they need to figure out who it is and ban them from attending events. Is there security footage that they can check? These "helpful hints" are bad enough, but throwing physical contact on top of it? No touchy!!!

If you have the time, check out Kaitlin Hawayak's Instagram. She posted a video. Evidently, during warm up for the Skate America gala, fans called she and Jean-Luc over to the boards for photos. One "fan" reached over and pulled her close (NOT okay in itself), and whispered in her ear, "My dear, you need to lose a lot of weight." She talks about it and how that also is not okay. Now, I said that her dress was not flattering in the original dance. Nothing against HER. She's gorgeous. That dress...ehhhh. Just want to make that clear. I would NEVER make that kind of comment, especially having dealt with an eating disorder for years myself. And female athletes are especially scrutinized like this. I remember having lost a considerable amount of weight. An adult male swim coach said to me, "all you need to do is lose 10 more pounds and you'd be perfect." I was starving myself. I was wearing a size 6. I don't know if it's part of being in a partnership where the female is basically the same size as the male. Whether he's shorter, like Jean-Luc is, or the female partner is just taller than most (like Madison Hubble), and there is that illusion, or what. But it's NOT okay.

The difference being that Ilia got TREMENDOUS air. He was so high, that he could have thrown an extra revolution in there and been good to go. Noodlehead's jumping beans barely seem to get off the ice. I just hope he doesn't flame out with injuries due to the constant quads. He's a kid. I would think that he still has growing left to do. I just hope that he can sustain through this Olympic quad. To whomever put Kaitlin Hawayek in that god awful dress for the rhythm dance. NO. Just no. You are doing her ZERO favors. The Free Dance dress was much more beautiful. I mean, I realize that it's hard to take your eyes off Jean-Luc Baker, but come onnnnnn. She deserves better than that. And how great were they? My god. Hoping that Chock and Bates can clean up those programs. I know it's early.

Yes, I find it less tasteless when a Brit uses it, knowing that the connotation is much worse in the U.S. Here, it is used exclusively to degrade a woman in the worst way possible. In the U.K. it's an equal opportunity insult. Riding Dyana...or is it Dyaena? Oh, Andrew, of course. Like Aemond, the second son and next in line to his brother the heir, until the heir's children displaced him. Andrew is a rapey asshole rather than an evil one, though. Give him an eye patch and a padlocked chastity belt.

Besides the obvious, which is that her mother sold her out to her rapist brother in marriage. I'd hate her ass, too. Yeah, she may be Queen now, but having to be married to a brother that you know is a violent, using piece of shit, perhaps not worth it.

I was soooo pissed. I looked forward to this all week and right off the bat, I noticed that Matt Smith and Emma D'Arcy were not in the opening credits. All I thought was "Fuck me. A full hour of insufferable fucking Hightowers?" I don't even want to talk about the foot thing. Ewwwww. Can Ser Criston and Alicent just get it over with now that the King is dead? He clearly needs to get laid again. He's backed up. And Rhaenys...WHYYYYY?! A Hightower BBQ would have made an entire show dedicated to them worth it.

Okay, so regarding Schmitt and his obvious weight gain (no shaming). They made a point of mention how busy he is, that he's running around and doesn't have time to eat. Is the weight a prop? Are they going to show him losing weight because they're working him so hard, gradually un-padding him as they go? Because mentioning that he's not eating constantly, while the camera shows that he HAS been eating (perhaps from stress)? I only ask because Jake Borelli's instagram showed a picture from the shoulders up this summer, and he made a comment: jake.borelli: "Started shooting Season 19 yesterday ;) Can’t show you any of the pics yet (you’ll see why)… so here’s a 🐵 face. #greysanatomy" And his current pictures on Instagram seem like his ordinary weight. Zola's panic attack. Could this be the explanation we're going to get for Mere only being in half the episodes this season? She stays home to care for her daughter's mental health? I never made the Luke Dunphy connection until I came over here. Duh! Guy with phone up his ass. Memories of guy swallowing his girlfriend's keys and Ever Carradine (right?) being a complete bitch that Izzie had to finally tell to GTFO.

Yes, more Atwater, please and thank you.

Wasn't that the scene where he banished Otto from the castle? Also accusing him of carefully calculating his daughter's sucking up to Viserys, himself. The episode where Otto tells Viserys about Rhaenyra and Daemon's after hours pub crawl? Trevor Noah made a joke about HOTD last night in his monologue. About needing subtitles because these fools name their children with such like sounding names. Basically what we've made fun of here. And yeah, I watch Sunday's episodes more than once, with the closed captioning on, to make sure I'm catching everything. And I don't consider myself stupid for it, either. Just obsessive. Heh.

I noticed that, as well. She SHOULD be behind Marina, John Patrick and LaRoyce in billing. How did she vault up to the Sophia Bush spot? I'd take Kim in a storyline over Hailey any day.

I liked it. The show was definitely in need of refreshment. Also, this new batch is likable enough. I remember hating most of the new interns when they would introduce them (don't get me started on the Mercy Westers, besides Jackson). Before, I felt that introducing new interns took away from the main characters, but now? They could use some back burner action. As far as Derek's sisters are concerned, wasn't Nancy the eldest? Nancy, then Kathleen, then Lizzy, then Derek, and Amelia was the youngest. Would it make more sense that he's Nancy's son? I don't know. I guess I'm in denial that Neve Campbell would have a son who is old enough.

There was the line on the Gilligan episode where Laurie was doing her Whacky Jackie as Gilligan, and Roseanne (as Ginger) comments, "Here comes another Emmy." At that time, Metcalf had won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy several times (three?), and Roseanne and John Goodman were continually being passed over. Wasn't there also a scene of Roseanne and Jackie on the couch and Roseanne commenting, "It's not like I'm going to win an Emmy or nothin'..." They always seemed to harp on Roseanne not getting one, but never any off hand sarcasm on John Goodman's yearly snub.

I also wondered about Jay's brother at Chicago Med. What? Not even a mention of saying good bye to him? Was Jesse a casualty of NBC cost cutting, or was this his own decision? I'll miss him. Maybe this will give us more Atwater, but I do have a soft spot for Soffer because I remember him as Will Munson on As the World Turns. And I like gingers. LOL

I actually thought it was my TV. I could barely make out who was who. Went into the color settings and switched the picture to "dynamic," which was a slight improvement. Might make everything else so bright that my eyeballs hurt. We'll have to see.

RIGHT? This is such a joke. At least give the silver and bronze medals to the Americans and Japanese, and then continue with the "investigation" of the Russian doping, if that what is actually going on. If IOC or ISU or whoever, find their balls and actually punish the Russians, take BACK the silver and bronze and reissue the gold and silver in their places and award Canada the bronze. At least give the innocent bystanders some kind of reward for their accomplishments instead of holding everyone's medals hostage because of Noodle Head.

I hope his body can stand the strain. And I also hope that other skaters don't force it, just to get credit for the attempt. Someone on Twitter commented that with the height and speed Ilia got, he could easily land a quint. Oh, dear god!

Unfortunately, John Goodman lost to Richard Mulligan (Empty Nest) in 1989, Ted Danson (Cheers) in 1990 and 1993, Burt Reynolds (Evening Shade) in 1992, Craig T. Nelson (Coach) in 1992, and then the beginning years of Kelsey Grammar's Emmy domination 1994, 1995 and so on. But yeah. He was royally screwed. I still don't get it.

I found a copy of the 25th anniversary Blu Ray with the additional scenes mentioned a few pages back, which included the Dottie/Jimmy kiss and the Marla playing for the Belles and Dottie running her down. I found it interesting that if the Marla scenes had been used, you would have seen that Dottie did in fact, play in the World Series. The first game, at least. So, she left after crying about running secretly pregnant Marla over at second base. Bob showed up after Game One and found her crying. So yeah, she was crying about Marla, not the death of George Spaghetti, and how that very well could have been her losing a husband instead of Betty. I liked the missing Jimmy-Dottie scene right up until the kiss. Because that kiss would have changed the entire tone of the movie and turned the heroine into a villain who cheats on her husband while he's fighting the Nazi's. It was better to leave it out. It did necessitate a change in the locker room scene where Dottie tells Lowenstein to trade her. Originally, he guessed that the problem was Jimmy, not Kit, which made sense considering the kiss. The extra bar scenes were good in that Jimmy stops Kit from going out to a car with a stranger. Even though he was a cute stranger, and then knocking out Lowenstein before he caught the girls in the bar. But, I could have done without drunken Marla falling and pulling off Dottie's robe on the way to the floor, and having Jimmy oogling Dottie in her short nightie in the middle of the bar. Kinda cheap. Funny line where Dottie says, "What are you going to do with Lowenstein?" and Jimmy says, "Put him in bed with Miss Cutberth. He'll never talk after that." (paraphrasing)

Same. We're the same age so I also remember his death but not so much of his career. My mother was obviously a fan, although she cried when John Lennon died, not Elvis, but she saved the main section of the Milwaukee Journal newspaper the days after each man passed away. Austin Butler was amazing, but I knew he would be after watching him as Tex Watson in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. However, the movie itself was too "busy." The jumping around, the flashiness. Just made it impossible to get into the story, for me. And yeah, as much as I hate to say it, Tom Hanks was the weak point. His voice and accent were nails on a chalkboard, which had nothing to do with his portrayal of a despicable human being. He was just plain annoying.

“Look, you, maybe you've got everyone around here fooled with this saint act you have going, but do not ever speak to me again like we don't know what really happened, you got me?" I have actually USED this line in an argument.

Yeah, Kate is a piece of work, yadda, yadda, but she always has been. Her ex-husband is no better. He's the one who goes running to the media to whine and bitch with every grievance. He's the one keeping the kids in the news. I'm so sick of him. Jon is a sleezoid pimp. He wonders why the kids in NC don't make an attempt to contact him? Look in the mirror, assclown. Constantly trashing their mother on talk shows and gossip sites, and keeping your petty divorce in the news after what...13 years....isn't helping you mend any fences.

I still to this day have the same reaction to Green Book winning that year. Not that I think BoRhap should have won, but I think Green Book winning over BoRhap, Black Panther, A Star Is Born, Blackkklansman, was just like letting the air out of the hall at the end of the night. Same as when Chadwick Boseman lost in 2020. You were left with a feeling of "Huh? What just happened?" As for a possible sequel, I really don't think that it would be a post-Freddie story. Probably a story of the band going on and dealing with his illness. Maybe some reaction immediately after his death. There was drama in that John Deacon couldn't deal with the thought of Queen without Freddy, while Brian and Roger wanted to continue. That would make some dramatic scenes for the other three (which if they go that way, I hope the four originals are back). Yeah, sequels are usually a let down, but if they are considering it, I hope they go that route, not the "let's search for a Freddy replacement on American Idol."
