    ....honestly, this makes it LESS believable to me. It just sounds like this is throwing all of the diva sterotypes at Ruby because it's easy, since she already has the label to her name. 

    I just...I find it hard to believe. I know there are difficult people like this out there in the entertainment business but are we really going to take this gossiper's word for it? 

    I feel like I need something more. Maybe some of it is true, but I just don't believe 80% of this.

    She has a much worse rep at CDAN than this, though. There was a blind a while back where she was thought to be the subject....a story of a non-American lead with an alliterative name, on a superhero show, leaving a lot of #metoo victims in hir wake...

    ETA: my bad. IDK how I got ONTD and CDAN mixed up....

    Um, did you forget that woman who became a model and Sandra/Garret found out she was their co-worker once? 😉 It was the plot of one of the early episodes.

      Reveal spoiler

    The episode summaries for the upcoming episodes let us know that Amy does indeed get promoted. That is why she will leave the store.

     

    That's one of my favorite Superstore plots! Can't tell if the winking emoji means you are joking, but I interpreted that reveal to mean the woman was a model for the photos used in the frames Cloud9 sells and their store's signage. She never really worked with Amy & co. at the Ozarks store or any store. Amy didn't realize she recognized her from seeing her in pictures versus real life.

    If I am overthinking this, forgive me. I hate when people do that to me when I am joking.

  3. The older woman customer was played by Earl's mom from My Name Is Earl.

    ETA: Her name is Nancy Lenehan. And she totally looks and sounds like the District Mgr Laurie actress.

    The whole project is so logistically complex (I have no idea how it works in real life) and ridiculous, but its the kind of ridiculous I enjoy in a sitcom.

    Knowing how it works (a relative manages the service at a local store) made it less funny to me and wishing they went for a different kind of funny.

    First of all, the service took months to set up with hiring dedicated employees and managers. So Dina springing it on them in the morning meeting made me roll my eyes.

    Customers go to the store's website/app, log into whatever location they want to shop at, and choose each item themselves. The only way a store employee would choose an item is if a customer selected the option for if an item is out of stock and they'd like a substitution (which some stores even allow you to specify what to substitute with).

    The stores have dedicated "pickers" who shop the store, filling the orders. Then they have employees dedicated to taking the orders to the cars. These are not the store associates running in-store services.

    Also stores don't take unlimited orders. Customers reserve pick-up time slots and when they're all taken, the service is only available for the next open time slot the next day.

    I'm not only a spokesperson. I'm a customer ;)

    Flannel.  So. Fucking. Edgy.

    The animation introducing a Chelsea segment was edgier...a flannel slip dress. I was actually prepared to be impressed because I thought Chelsea's line was going to be like feminine shapes in plaid fabric....or like a tailored plaid shirt or a plaid tank with shaping around the bust or something.

  6. I just found out my (late, abusive) grandfather moved my grandma and my mom and her sisters from their beloved childhood home (my grandma still talks about it even now in her 90s with memory issues) into a newly built house while they were at school ...

    and without taking anything from the old house.

    I don't think they even knew they were moving, but I would need to confirm that part of the story.

    You're welcome, Kail.

    At first glance I thought she was Little Edie Bouvier from Grey Gardens. I was about to give Chelsea and Aubree props for going there. Too funny. 

    Genius take on Aubs' costume! ROFL

    Aubree's costume is a mermaid? (I am not snarking. Just trying to confirm the emoji corresponds to the costume. I feel old, but I miss captions with words.)

    Kail is such a bitter and mean spirited person I am surprised she has any relationships at all. Her producer seems to be a bit of a jerk too...running to her with his phone with the Instagram post of Javi and Lauren’s engagement announcement....he knew exactly how Kail would react. Speaking of Kail and friends, what happened to that whole posse that hung around her house and went everywhere with her? Like Bone, Becky, Peach, etc...

    Peach was Javi's friend originally. So he got her in the divorce. Not sure about the others.

    Cole's romper was provided by MTV IMO (contradicting Chelsea's narration) because he bitched about the fit and the cameraman was wearing a near identical top.

    Is there any reason why Barb and Jace couldn't be on the show rather than Jade? Although Kloie is so adorbs. Why her name isn't spelled "Chloe" is a bummer. So sweet, too. Please save her from her dad and Jade's mom!

  10. What a cop-out. IMO, this resolution missed the entire point of the Legion character, especially as an allegory (? too on-the-nose to be mere allegory?) of mental illness. Farouk's presence in his head, his adoption, his sister! all shaped who David is. What a cheat just to call "do-over." And it's not like the visuals this season were so trippy as to distract from the repetitive and banal so-called story.

    I would rather have seen David transcend the circumstances that made him rather than simply start over. It's boring. And I am sure people with mental illness wish they could start life over from the beginning. It's more interesting to explore how life can be improved with a shitty hand dealt.

    ETA: What was the point of the robot stuff with Switch? And calling Farouk a robot? Huh?

    She still lacks any self awereness. She says that Devid raped her, but won't admit that by her own logic, what she did to her mothers boyfriend was also rape. Arguably worse than what David did.

    And she raped her own mother by using the mother's body without the mother's consent for sex with the mother's boyfriend! All kinds of f_cked-up.

    Judging by the way time travel is portrayed, I'd say what David is attempting is actually impossible. It looks like Switch isn't physically going anywhere, more like she's rewinding her own timeline, and landing at a previous point in her own body. By that logic, David shouldn't be able to go anywhere unless he opens his own doorway. If he were to somehow enter Switch's timeline, if he exited it, he'd wind up in her body.

    Very interesting take considering we have a character whose power enables her to body swap.

  13. Syd is such a hypocrite. She sexually assaulted her own mother and her mother's boyfriend. Two wrongs don't make a right, but I can't stand her. "Me First" indeed.

    Lenny is still sporting Amy's eyes, I believe.

    Why is Switch helping David? What's in it for her? Why is she drawn to him? I wonder how many times she'd "met" him before we were shown?

  14. I have a feeling that trying to augment the time travel field is what ends the world.

    Any theories as to why Switch speaks Japanese and French in addition to Mandarin?

    She cracked me up when they were walking through the house and she was saying "and we're getting rid of these tacky quotes everywhere".

    That cracked me up, too, but for a different reason. Like, Pinterest Instagram Chelsea, don't act like you wouldn't have been adding those quotes to the wall a few years ago.

    I'm confused as to what was going on with the Narcotics Anonymous leader. From what I can gather - John slept with the leader's wife. Took photos of her. And was now blackmailing the Al-Anon leader to keep getting clean pee or he'd send the photos to everyone. Is that right?

    Like Ninny said, he had sex with the guy ("I usually don't like doing it with guys, but...") and had pictures he'd taken in flagrante delicto. And not only was he getting the guy's pee in exchange for not showing the pix to the wife, he also got the leader to sign off on the therapy session for court when he knew John was full of shit *and* took all the cash from the box the guy had there (donations?).
