    It appears that VK gained her weight back.  She looked really good at the beginning of the season. I think around November and December I noticed she was putting some pounds back on. But then when I saw that goodbye video she looked much much heavier and I think the videographer was even trying to hide it by having her bend forward sniffing the rose.  That’s just my opinion. But I’ve definitely noticed a weight gain.

    When people started mentioning this in the thread, I went to her Instagram and noticed that the last few photos (or videos) she had posted on the grid she was the only one covered up:

    I didn't want to comment on her body, but I did think it was odd (especially in the prep class video. I feel like most people wouldn't get that grace, but maybe it's not the same in prep class as it is in solos or other places.

    I didn't love how she was shoved in our faces during MTT, but I'm sad for her that this thing that she's been trying to do her "whole life" is now over for her. That's gotta be hard.

  2. My BFF named her last kid Ezra like 6-7 years ago (I can't remember how old he is now - she has a lot of kids). Lots of "there's nothing Better Than Ezra" jokes on her socials - though I doubt Josiah and Lauren are doing that. Lots of old-timey names are coming back into vogue, so I didn't bump on that.

    The alphabetical theme is kinda hilarious though.

    Ted Lasso nerds - I need help.

    I'm looking for the exact text of a comment made by Isaac (I think) - it's along the lines of "channeling my righteous anger to better serve my community"

    If anyone remembers this, or knows which episode it comes from, please let me know!

    This is said by one of the non-Paul members of the pub trio to Mae after he says he's going to burn the pub to the ground if Richmond actually wins a game. (I don't know which one is Jeremy and which one is Baz, sorry!)

    2x06 - The Signal: "I swear, if we actually win this match, I will burn this pub to the ground." (off Mae's look) "I will... knock over a chair." (Mae continues to stare) "I will channel my raging enthusiasm into ways to help my community."

    I know this isn't the point of her post, but it always bugs me with the mom dresses and gets the kids dressed up and everyone matches, but then the dad is also there. Like even his shoes are dirty. Was there no white shirt he could wear to match her dress? No burgundy tie? Like they found tiny burgundy onesies for their newborn, but that was his best outfit choice? C'mon Jeremiah! Try at least as hard as your wife who had a kid a week ago!

  5. Found this in Site Business (which feels like it should be part of this traffic light announcement, but whatever):

    Not sure it's very helpful in understanding what they want from us (also apparently there's going to be Badging if your a GoodPosterTM?), but it's got more info than anything I'd seen so far.

  6. It was lovely to see the cast together (in public) for the last time. After the lack of awards at the delayed Emmys and Golden Globes, it would have been a big surprise for them to win last night. It's not surprising that the voters saw the same problems we saw with season three, but it still must be hard to be an awards favorite the first two years and be totally shut out during the final season.

    Very excited to see what the cast does next and hope we get some little reunions in the years to come!

  7. It's also interesting that you don't *have* to click the banner to read or post. I didn't even notice it until I saw y'all talking about it and decided to read it. You'd think if they were serious about wanting to make whatever changes, the post would be compulsory to read and agree to or whatever before you can post.

    I could not tell if Kaylee picked up sleeping Gideon from a twin bed or maybe was changing him.

    Yeah, I was grossed out that of all the places in that barn, she chose her sister’s bed to change a dirty diaper, but I guess that’s the better option than she just left a wiggly, rolling baby on a bunk bed to nap. Shouldn’t that place be teeming with cribs and baby stuff given how freaking kids they have?!

    So where was the security for the cheerleaders when this happened?

    (not doubting Darian or Jensen - just want to know).

    I mean isn’t this the sort of thing that had the cheerleaders removed from the TD decks after the first couple of seasons in AT&T Stadium? They only moved back there because of the pandemic restrictions keeping them off the field. It’s disappointing but unfortunately not surprising when you see how close the fans come to these women.

    Currently watching season 12. Unpopular opinion...I don't understand what was "harsh" or "older looking" about Katelyn. Maybe it's tv lighting, but to me her hair looks dark brown, not jet black; plus, I thought it looked like it was her natural color & not dyed dark. She had such a pretty face and those great kicks, I always get sad when I see her!!

    I could not figure out why they didn't take her into training camp. She was tall, had long limbs, and those kicks! They only thing I can figure is that SOMEONE (of the LSU girls) said some shit that kept her out. Because that should have been a help - like Keyra - but they were like just like, we don't like her hair! They made Loren from highlighter blonde to dark brunette when they didn't like her hair, so why not even try?

    No disrespect to The X-Files but Red Right Hand belongs to Scream 😁

    And no disrespect to Scream (1996), but The X-Files used it in 1995, so this is where I heard it first. I definitely saw Scream, but have no memory of the song being used (to be fair, I also barely remember the movie because it was nearly 30 years ago). So we'll have to agree to disagree about to which previous media belongs to this song!

    Part of what I think still keeps the show enjoyable is that I get the feeling that this cast probably has a blast making it. Their enthusiasm at the silliness and OTT of everything is contagious. Boy, I'd love to work on set during some of these scenes, preferably as Daniel's leather apron wrangler. Mmmm hmm. ("There's not even a hole, I'm just mashing my dick against it" or whatever his boulder-banging line was... good lord, he's really become a master of blending hilarious, uncomfortable, and sexy.)

    This. Like Oregon Trail, the jokes are a little too hackneyed (oh no, the married people need to spice up their sex life; oh no, the main character is getting older and can't party anymore; etc), but there are little moments (and guest stars) that will keep me coming back because I like this cast and they are having fun. Plus DanRad may show his ass again and I don't want to miss that.

    They turned Jamie's story about what happened in Amsterdam into a joke, almost ("No, she loved it")

    But that's not what happens in that scene. Jamie starts to share his trauma relating to his first visit to Amsterdam and Roy replies with sympathy, "That must have been traumatizing." Jamie replies glibly, "Nah, she loved it" and you can feel his dad coming through in that moment. It's such a quick response that you can tell it's a trained response to telling that story. But Roy didn't respond initially the way most men Jamie (or James) told that story to and he doesn't respond to Jamie's glib remark, just lets the moment sit. Then Jamie shares "Oh for me? I don't...I don't really remember it." He's blocked it out because it WAS traumatizing and he is starting to feel safe enough with Roy to talk about it and maybe start processing that experience. He goes on to talk about his mum and their trip, but how his dad was always there. And we see that his dad is STILL there from the earlier response and things like Jamie doing that little fake punching thing (on the Skinny Bridge) that his dad does in Man City. James Tartt is in Jamie Tartt and Jamie has to figure out what to do with that.

    My husband and I are watching the FA Cup, with Man City playing Man U, and we agreed that Jack Grealish with Man City looks like Jamie Tartt 😄

    And they finally got to meet recently

  15. I really appreciate Nick's thoughts and motivations on this and it gives me a better understanding of the character and where the show was trying to go.

    I guess my problem is...I didn't get it. I didn't see the pauses in Rupert's office in the beginning as Nate not being comfortable with what he's done, but simply that Nate isn't a confident guy in general or that he's in over his head, but he still feels he deserves it. As someone in the episode threads summed up brilliantly, the show really "showed their work" with the layering of Nate's insecurities with his rise in AFC Richmond in season 1 and the full heel turn in season 2. I guess, they tried to walk it back in one season what they walked forward in two and it didn't work for me. Jade being part of all of it didn't work for me either because Nate's such a walking red flag about women (even as the "catharsis" is coming to an end, it's all about "my girlfriend" and never "Jade") that I can't imagined changed just because he met the right one.

    Maybe I'll rewatch season 3 straight through with this bits in mind to see how it all fits together, but when your actor has to write a three page letter to fans to explain how it works, the storytelling failed a bit IMO.  But obviously, Nick did a brilliant job in layering all of these things and working on this character to really make us believe in the first two seasons and I wanted more to bring us back if this is where it was going to end up.
