She is gorgeous, but that dress was so unflattering, both color and style. I'm with you, I couldn't figure out the bodice part at all. And why did she spend a year, crying, sending flowers, and apologizing to Hannah? She did nothing wrong. I cannot for the life of me understand why Hannah has so many loyal "besties". What do they see in her?

I'm out, too. I'm not interested in watching mean people prevail by convincing their minions to vote off the outcasts one by one. Punkin will undoubtedly be next, since she was Geoff's close ally, then Robert and Dusty. It seems Beckylee wants to keep Amy and Pati around for some reason, so I suppose they're safe until they literally collapse and the helicopter of doom carts them away. This show is not what I thought it would be. The premise sounded interesting and different, but it's more like Lord of the Flies meets Big Brother. Hard pass. Like others have said above, here's hoping no one wins!

I can use Chrome on my desktop with an ad blocker, but I have to use Firefox on my phone. The pop ups are still bad, but on Chrome, they were literally taking up more than half the page, leaving only about 3 lines of text visible. And forget trying to type a reply, sheesh.

Prometheus said Zeus was once human, was the implication all the gods were? Maybe so and I just took his statement at face value. Your speculation is interesting. I guess we have to throw what we thought we knew about mythology to the wayside and just buckle up for the ride.

That was creepy. It didn't occur to me that Renewal by going through the Frame was a lie, but it should have because you're right, there was no reincarnation in Greek mythology. Basically all the dead wandered around as shades with no memories after drinking from the river Lethe. Only exceptions were the really bad people who suffered eternal torture in Tartarus and heroes who were sent to the Elysian fields. Makes me wonder who is more fortunate, those who had their coins or those who didn't? Either outcome is pretty bleak.

On the up side, these puppies are seriously adorable.

Noooo! Pluto must be behind the Paramount feeds. I read it before I saw it. Damn it

Joseph out.

@peachmangosteen please help, I've listened three times and I can't understand a word Tucker is saying! Who thinks he's cute? Lisa? Makensy? What plan are they talking about? At least Angela was also confused so I don't feel quite so dumb, lol.

I agree with all your comments, @Gemma Violet but you may want to move them to the episode 2 thread.

Naomi's knowledge of celebrity trivia can be a double edged sword, as it can lead her down paths too obscure for this show. I mean, there have been some questionable celebrities to be sure, but how many viewers, let alone contestants, would know Cherie Currie? Occam's razor says a better guess would be another more recognizable artist who had a hit with a song of the same name. And the hubris of not bothering to try to decipher the remainder of the clue... I'm still rooting for Naomi but she needs to dial down the confidence a notch. Loved how she engineered the elimination of Gracie, though. Brilliant, as was the Antonio Banderas fake out by Miguel and Dedrick. They fooled me! I was thinking, yeah, I can totally see the resemblance, lol.

Yeah, OB has a complex plot (some might say convoluted) spanning multiple seasons, but at its heart it's a show about the clone sisters. Paul is the worst and Art was a drag at the beginning, but if you're not liking or are annoyed by the clones as played by Tatiana, or even Felix, then this is most likely a series you can pass on with no regrets, lol.
-
Yep. And as far as physical demands and his contention that new era players are hungrier, remember Elizabeth Hasselback from S2 who was pulling out chunks of her hair and had lost the weight of "a fourth grader" from eating so little? Sorry, Jeff, we're not buying it.

@LadyChatts Right, it was spelled that way on my guide as well. My annoyance was directed at the producers, never at you! ❤️

I have nothing much to add that hasn't been said. I was on pins and needles hoping Q wouldn't play his idol. I'm happy he's gone but now I'm worried Maria will pull a Kelly Wigglesworth or a Mike what's his name (from whatever the name of that terrible season was) and win all the remaining challenges. I respect her strength, agility, steadiness of hand and puzzle ability, but that doesn't mean I have to like her. Call me OCD but the episode title spelling of "Mamma" Bear looks odd and rubs me the wrong way.

S46 Ep. 11 "My Messy, Sweet Little Friend" LIVE CHAT
kassandra8286 replied to LadyChatts's topic in Survivor
In case Venus played an idol and voted for Q? Maria doesn't want Q to go, and Ben's her minion. Just a guess. Also, "Venise"? 🤦♀️ -
S36.E08: That’s What Being Strong Will Do

Netfoot, those pictures are stunning. What a beautiful island! Totally get why you're disappointed. Talk about missed opportunities. I didn't care for Angie and Danny either but they sure as heck got a raw deal with this debacle and I'm sorry they had to exit under such a cloud of controversy. -
I'm a savant in some categories but they'd be too specific for this show, like X-Files, or Game of Thrones, or ABC soaps, lol. I would choose mythology if they'd allow it, or classic rock. I loved the Idioms category last night and knew them all, although I'm side-eyeing some of them being idioms (objects in mirror may be closer than they appear??). The few text clues they've had are easier for my brain to comprehend quickly than the picture clues. Some of those are hard to get without context, like a life-sized golf tee, lol, and some are hard to see, period. I could barely make out the white air pods. Anyway, I'm loving everything about this show and hoping Fox renews it. Go Steve!

Cory voted for himself. Kyland didn't get a vote. Cory's on the bubble with Jay, he basically said in this episode that he's only sticking with him for now because Michele has been advocating for him. Now that Jay is pissed at Michele and Cory helped secure Asaf's fate with his burned vote, I expect to see Cory be the next of Jay's alliance to go if they're in a similar position as this episode. Ed and Emanuel will be pushing hard for it of course I just hope, now that teams are done so presumably only one daily winner will have safety, that the other side will be able to finally send Jay's smug mug home. I'm at the point where I can't stand looking at him.

Yes, it seems Emily succeeded in convincing him that Julie would be the target for the four non-Rebas, and that the Reba 4 would be splitting their votes between Bruce and Jake, in which case, numbers-wise, Bruce wouldn't need to play his idol. Emily said in her interview that was her strategy. When they showed the votes at the end, 3 Rebas voted for Jake, with Julie voting for Bruce, so if Emily had been sincere and not simply gaslighting Bruce, Julie would have indeed gone home. It will be interesting to see if Emily takes credit in the immediate aftermath for her part in Bruce not playing his idol, possibly risking Julie's ire, or keeps that nugget in her pocket for a potential F3 speech.

Uh, no. The only person who would claim that is Monte himself, lol. Not to get too off topic but that couldn't be further from the truth, Taylor 100% earned her victory and the jury was genuinely thrilled for her, not "bitter" towards Monte, who was pretty meh and kind of forgettable on BB just like he was on the Challenge. Josh, yeah I'll give you that one, lol. Paul lost more than Josh won.

I was embarrassed for the show, embarrassed for the houseguests, but most of all embarrassed for myself for watching it. No one looked amused.

This article someone else linked here previously explains that the contestants must be "directly" related to their celebrity relatives. It implies they made an exception for Carly. They probably couldn't resist the Tom Hanks connection, to the point where they basically sabotaged her with the obvious clues, lol. https://people.com/claim-to-fame-rules-contestants-have-to-follow-7642217

You might think so, but no, Styx isn't yacht rock. Awhile back, without knowing the precise definition but having a vague sense of it, I told my co-workers that yacht rock was "schlocky music from the late 70s and early 80s". They were kind of offended, lol. When I think of the epitome of a yacht rock artist Christopher Cross comes to mind. Oh, here you go, this is pretty interesting: https://www.houstoniamag.com/arts-and-culture/2019/07/this-is-the-definitive-definition-of-yacht-rock

S02.E08: Defections, Connections, and Total Perplexion
kassandra8286 replied to peachmangosteen's topic in Claim To Fame
I hear you, On Demand is a last resort for me. If you don't want to wait till tomorrow, you can try ABC's site. It was commercial free for me. You have to sign in with your provider, but they accept streaming providers also, not just cable.
