I liked the Wrong Amy thing. :)

So happy for Kate! Love her on SNL. Her speech was lovely and she looks great.

Marcia Clark doesn't look like Marcia Clark anymore.

I liked Claire Danes's dress on her. Didn't notice the orange. Damn, Kerry Washington looks good hugely pregnant!

At first I disliked G's dress, but now I think the dress is pretty. The cape thingie looks like curtains, but then I dislike capes a lot.

What??? I have to choose between the Emmys and my Packers, who are playing their arch-enemy MN Vikings (also the state in which I live)?????!!!! No fair!!! My shallow self is in a kerfuffle about what to do!

"Bored," hmmm? Man, I'm bored by a lot of discussions there. I just skip over them. Eventually the ship seems to right itself! :) How 'bout them Packers???

I think menopause is something that more women should discuss! It's sort of like childbirth; not a lot is said until you're already a member of the club. In our mothers' era, it was probably more taboo, but I wish we learned more besides the usual joking about hot flashes and mood swings. TT - my Packers won today! Happy about that.

I guess those of us from the Shopping forum can talk about pickles, dogs, and menopause here. lol. ?

I rarely watch reunions because the fighting makes me too anxious, but I watched tonight. Unpopular opinion -- I liked Carole's dress. It is funky and she is thin enought to make it work. I thought Sonja looked great too, although if that was a high-low hem, not a fan. Dorinda needed more breast support. Lu was ok but too sparkly. Don't even remember Beth. Liked Jules's dress. Ramona's was the worst --too tight and boobular. Did Sonja say she slept with Tom only 5 times in 10 years???! Not even Friends with Benefits, IMO. That's a "no" to your claims, Sonja.

I won't read Vicki's blog. Why couldn't Brianna pick her up from the hospital? That whole ATV story/scene would be no fun for me. I wouldn't have wanted to go, either. Allowing kids and inexperienced adults to drive those vehicles is just irresponsible.

I hardly ever remember to watch this show, but did last night. Agree on Melissa's outfit. It looked like something a cartoon character would wear. And what was with her hair -- the ponytail in back and two flaps of hair on either side of her face??

Watching this as a rerun tonight. I would rather have gone to Bagatelle too --except for Beth. So Beth is bleeding all over the place but she is wearing a skimpy bikini? Ack -- I'd be wearing the loosest clothes possible! i am fascinated at the clothing choices. Was waiting for Dorinda's breasts to fall out of that white outfit at the last meal, with the artist.

Re: Phelps and all his medals. I think most people realize he/swimmers can race in many events in one Olympics. Isn't this his 4th Olympics? So the fact that he has medaled in FOUR Olympics is amazing and certainly worthy of acclaim IMO. I don't know how these athletes keep the motivation to continue for another 4 years! His accomplishments are huge -- as are those who, say, in track and field, win one medal. (I watched the women's 10,000 today and couldn't imagine running that!)

Gabby was the darling of 2012. What is she now, 20 years old? I'm really only an Olympic viewer, but just from what I have read here, it sounds like she may have a lot of pressure from family or sponsors. Or herself. To me, she just has a look like her mind is elsewhere. Depression/anxiety can sometimes come across as "stuck up" or "zoned out." I am reluctant to make a judgement, but I do feel bad for whatever she is dealing with. I hope she'll be ok.

Why don't the guys do the floor exercise to music? Is it "unmanly?" Guys gymnastics don't have to be "artistic?" Signed, Casual viewer. :-)

I love how excited Rowdy gets, even though it's difficult to hear him sometimes. Love his enthusiasm and his knowledge!

I am 58 years old and I did not know this until today -- that it is written protocol. I noticed Gabby and wondered if there would be a stink about it. She said she stood at attention and has always done so, so I'll give her a pass.

I am very impressed that Baby Phelps has been at all these races. He always seems so mellow, too.

What did he say? I missed it. Happy he won the race.

Does anyone else have trouble hearing the announcers during some of the races? The crowd sound is so loud and I can tell Rowdy is yelling, but I still have trouble hearing him. I wish they'd muffle the crowd sound a little.

Unpopular opinion, but I thought Sonja looked good in that dress!

I will need to see New and Improved Tamra for another season or 5 before I believe the transformation. i was concerned about Brianna's boys playing in the construction zone too. I wonder how bad the house was that they need to renovate immediately? Maybe I've seen too many House Hunter shows with spoiled young things (or in is case, maybe Vicki) demanding the best of everything right away. Sigh.

I feel like Carole is guarding her heart with what she says to Adam. We only see part of their relationship, anyhow. I'm not into huge rocks, so Lu's ring is "pretty" to me. She seems deliriously happy, which is fun to see.

ROFL!! I remember that white paste! It is nice to have a separate place for sewing, etc just so you don't have to pack everything up. I would not want that room to be the first one you see as you enter the house, though. You need doors to close it off! That couple annoyed me with their bickering about craft room vs. robot room. Agree that with so many bedrooms, there was plenty of room for both.
