I hope some changes are in the air cuz.... Alexis/Finn have more spark than Anna/Finn. Valentin/Anna have spark than Finn/Anna. Robert/Olivia have more spark than Ned/Olivia. Meanwhile, CD could not spark if lightning hit him.

Novak must be loving this. Usually he is shunted off to a lesser court so Nadal and Fed can bask in glory on center court while the crowds cheer them on, but this year he has mostly played center court and is getting a lot of attention. Today during Fritz/Shapovolov, they showed him looking on and you could just tell he was thinking.... "Yeah, I will eat those kids for lunch." I wish they would not do the canned applause after each point. I find it cringey.

At least I have heard of quite a few of the stars. And there is no dancing on my TV right now. So I am gonna check it out. ...but I kinda hope the viewership plummets and ABC is forced to admit it was a mistake to get rid of Tom. He was really about as close to perfection as you can get as the host, and I would have liked to see him interact with this group of celebs. I will try to keep an open mind, but if anyone can make a show just not worth it, it is Tyra and her narcissism. She ruined her own show and AGT with it. Will she go for the trifecta?!

Just got caught up! Noooooo Jimbo! Jimbo was a freaky delight in the first episode and totally won me over. But, for me, she didn't really live up to that promising start. She kind of went off into an "all slut all the time" mode, and I missed the sassy weirdness she had in that first episode. But I still loved her throughout. She had such a cool, easy vibe out of drag. Priyanka is actuallly the funniest to me. ...only not in the challenges, just in the talking heads! Where was that wit in the challenges girl?! Rita is not my Baga chips :D ...but I can see she is clearly talented in many ways. I'm open to anyone winning based on how they perform in the finale. I hope it is just a fair contest and not predetermined.

So far the only outfit I am enjoying is David Goffin's. He's such an adorable little elfin creature, and his understated fashion has just the right pop of color. So bummed Medvedev doesn't have a crowd to give him credit for totally turning his demeanor around after last year's hijinks. ....although I kind of miss his hijinks, cuz they were often hilarious. Was rooting for Clisters but she just pooped out (understandably).

Nooo, I do not want Chase saddled with bratty Brooklyn. Let Britt have a crack at him, at least she's got a freaking personality! I can see those two being fun and spunky together. OMG, if I have to look at MB's moistened eyelids one more fucking time! Do they think cuz Max Gail can make MB squeeze out some moisture while reading the prompter, that this is riveting acting?! Then Mikey and Willow starring in their very own Merchant/Ivory period courtship. "I too, did not mind the kiss, Michael. Would you care for a scone?" The Corinthii have gone from making me ragey, to making me cringe.

I FF'd everything but Alexis today ...and I were fast enough with the FF, I would have FF'd the Sam part of even those scenes. UGH. I think the show is doing a huge disservice to people dealing with loved ones with advanced alz. To think someone at the stage where they haven't eaten, aren't talking, and mostly sit mouth agape staring off into space can get in a wheel chair and go the track is absurd. I hope other people don't think they are losers for not taking their loved ones out of the care center and going on a picnic or something!

Wow, for the first time in so long I can't even remember.... I did not see that coming! Since they never actually got to be a couple, I'm not too broken up. If it creates a "dark" Alexis story, then I guess it could be interesting. Definitely, it will crack the door back open for Julian ...and to be fair, that poor shlub needs a crack! Sonny's visits with Mike are so fucking painful. At least he's stopped yelling at Mike, and just quietly orders Mike to squeeze his hand and look at him and stop listening to his music and shit. Oh, and he tells Mike: "Looks like you've lost some weight." OMG Sonny, please never visit me when I am dying!!!! I actually burst out laughing when CD was trying (so damn hard) to make that "I heart you" moony face at Willow. FAIL!!!!

W & S was a disappointment, but still glad to have tennis back on my TV. Rooting for Coco and Alison Riske today. On the men's side.... ABN! (Anybody But Novak!) I hope Thiem or Medvedev can challenge him. Hell, I'd even take Kurious. He's mad enough at Dj that it might inspire him to want to focus enough to win!

Dang, I wanted original Valerie back.

Ay yi yi. So damn bad and boring all the way around. Special WTF award for Chase handing Nelle's cellphone (the single most important piece of evidence in a kidnapping and attempted murder) over to Michael (as if he has the authority to do so) instead of logging it as evidence and giving it to the police tech guys who could crack the phone very quickly. (I know, I watch The First 48!) Of course Mikey guesses the passcode on the LAST POSSIBLE TRY!!! Then dashes off to find Nelle on his own, without alerting the cops, or anyone, thus putting his son in further danger. I'm sure Brooklyn just martyred her totally amazing singing career by trashing her vocal chords to tell Mikey about the GPS tracker, and now we will have to bear that god awful storyline. And Epiphany and Jason share a Hallmark moment, complete with her placing her hand over his heart. Stay golden Pony Boy. Ugh.

Are they going back to Willow being Nina's daughter? I hope not, but how can they possibly make it Nelle now that she kidnapped Wiley and nearly killed BL. She near if not reached totally irredeemable. This kidnapping thing is so fucking boring. I would have rather had the Nelle is Nina's daughter reveal at the trial. WTF with Sonny, Carly and Mikey waiting in the police lobby. Shouldn't Sonny be mobilizing Brick and all his other people to find Nelle. WTF with Taggert STILL skulking around the docks after his totally stupid, out in the open meeting with Jordan. As if Cyrus wouldn't be keeping tabs on Jordan.

Shouldn't the FBI or Federal Marshals show up at some point and start investigating this shit?! So Beth's big revenge against her old boss was to call in an anonymous sexual harrassment tip? And here I thought Jaime's dad might turn out to be a likeable guy who made a horrible mistake and paid his dues. ...but I guess everyone on this show has to be homocidally derranged! Josh's hair can look good, he is just getting older and maybe needs some extensions to fill it out now. He should be dead soon though, since Dutton now knows he is Roarke.

Damn. Tears for Callie. If they do another all stars, she better be there. Roland is legend. It was not always comfortable viewing, but he is the only one I have seen on this show that I believe could actually live out there year round. I don't mind Roland's dark nature. He is a lone wolf who believes life is one long tragedy, while Callie believes in the connection and beauty of everything. I can understand both. I would totally watch Roland and Callie on an episode of Naked and Afraid! : D

Ding Dong is annoying. But it kind of seems like an interjection she has probably used (and annoyed people with) her whole life and not just something she thinks is cool for the show. At least I hope so! In general, I like the judges of UK competition shows much more than those in the US. The judges of The Great British Sewing Bee and The Great Pottery Throwdown are my favorites. Both wonderful shows.

Why are they making it seem like everyone is about to cheat on everyone?! Dustin, Ava, Franco, Liz, Nik, Olivia, Curtis, and now Nina giving goo goo eyes to Valentine AGAIN. I don't know what the rumor was with KeMo and masks, but if she recently had a bunch of filler put in, it's possible that the pressure a mask puts on the face might screw it up, so she had to let it settle first. Still waiting for Jason to be mad at her for getting Michael fired!

I thought I was gonna get off easy on the violence having just started watching this season, but, doh! That was pretty damn gruesome. Josh H was super hot and charming as Sawyer on Lost, but I was surprised when he debuted here, all these years later, with the exact same hair style. Give the man an update! It almost seems like they brought him on as a romantic spoiler for Beth and Rip then decided not to go through with it and didn't know what to do with him. Disappointing. I hope this show wraps up in the next couple seasons, because the longer it goes, the more preposterous it will get. The body count seems pretty high at this point. Take a nod from UK series. Tell your story and let it end on a high.

Well if Jason and Sam are going to break up (a girl can dream) then I do want it to be KeMo so I can thoroughly enjoy it and see how she goes about playing forlorn when she pretty much has the vapors on a good day. If Dante does come back, I hope they do not put him back with Lulu. But there are not a lot of ladies on the canvas to put him with. I wouldn't mind having Valerie back.

Maybe the portrait looks like Heather's fake Franco sandwich paintings. ...or did I dream that. Why is Liz acting like the unveiling is a Hollywood red carpet event with all kinds of press and photogs and crap. It's like 6 people in a room.

Roland is so rock steady. But I also felt bad for that poor little squirrel crying over the loss of its food stash. The mushrooms won't amount to any calories for Roland (maybe a few nutrients and some flavor). All that smoke inside would be a deal-killer for me. That sucks for Kielyn. And she is still living meal to meal. I fear she can't last much longer. Callie is still all smiles. Really hope she is a winner.

To be fair, he could not possibly be bothered with something so trivial when he just got his first real shot at getting in Willow's pants. I swear if they SORAS Wiley but bring back Original Recipe Spencer, at some point Wiley and Donna will be older than Spencer!

Ugh, Gwen is back as a judge this fall. Can't stand her and her "I want a cute girl to dress up" schtick. Plus I find Blake less humorous and charming when she is around. Not to mention having coaches who are engaged creates a conflict of interest. So given that, plus the fact that it will be mostly/all Zoom, I think I will skip a season.

Really? The jeweler looks at an inexpensive, pedestrian silver heart and can hell who cut it in half 25 years ago. I think not. Just let this endless plot be over and start Nelle's redemption arc already! Why do these people burst into Mike's room talking verdicts and custody battles? Do they not think this might cause him confusion and distress?!

Finally finished the season. Either the quality of the teams is not what it used to be, or they need to give them more time, cuz there were so many unfinished or sloppy bakes this year. I watch to see the wonderful creations, not too see people crying cuz they are unable to do their best in the alotted time! Still, an enjoyable show. I like the judges, but the hosts not so much. I still don't know what Liam is doing there! : D

So the serial killer's super secret killing ground is right off what looked like a well traveled/maintained dirt road and nobody found it all this time? This show is pretty Shakespearean, I hope it has a dark ending.
