  1. I certainly hope it isn't cancelled. it seems like all HGTV does is various versions of property brothers, house flipping shows, and lottery dream house. I used to watch HGTV religiously back when they offered a variety of shows. now I only watch for house hunters. if I never saw Jonathan and Drew again along with the lottery guy I would be very happy.
  2. can someone tell me what the text that Kate saw on toby's phone said? I was too far away to read it.
  3. i am an Outlander reader also, and while I was disappointed at things they changed/left out in the tv version, Discovery of Witches is so much worse, constrained as they are by only 8 episodes. I just finished reading the first book again just to keep everything straight. Saying the writers are putting the emphasis on the wrong syllables is the perfect way to put it. There was so much to put in that I suppose they did the best they could under the circumstances but to take that book and only give it 8 episodes is a disgrace. I think the development of the relationship between Diana and Matthew especially received short shrift. Baldwin didn't come across as particularly menacing, as compared to the book, and if I hadn't read the book I would have no understanding of what daemons are. I am hoping they do a better job with books 2 & 3. '
  4. I am in the minority here because I loved the season finale. Very glad they made Emily a drug user rather than a victim of someone spiking her drink. Much more realistic. I did not like Fornell pulling his gun on the doctor and his other over the top reactions. I have never hated Ziva although I was glad when she left because it gave them a chance to freshen up the show with some new people. Cannot wait to see where exactly this new danger to Gibbs is coming from and I will be looking forward to more NCIS in the fall.
  5. one of the razor companies i (Gillette) s apparently getting a lot of flack because in their latest ad campaign they featured a very large woman in a bathing suit. Not whitney's size but close. They are being told they are are encouraging an unhealthy life style for profit. I wonder how long it will take Whitney to jump on the wagon and accuse all the critics of fat shaming?? Maybe she should see if she can make modeling her next career lol.
  6. just saw an article about Jenna and VAL (DWTS) this morning. She wore a turtle neck dress! Reminded me of that bride who was looking for a turtle neck dress in an earlier episode. It was a Vera Wang and was lovely. The portion from just above her breasts up through the turtle neck was sheer, as were the long sleeves. When I first heard turtleneck I thought "ugh" but it was so lightweight and sheer it was lovely. Modest too, unlike most of the dresses we see on this show. There was no mention in the article when their episode would be airing. Maybe they were waiting until after the wedding?
  7. correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Tristan with a pregnant girlfriend (or a girlfriend who had recently given birth) when he hooked up with Khloe? So where does she get off playing the poor victim?? Did she think she was going to magically transform him? And then to come out with all of this BS on instagram or whatever. My sympathies are with True. What a pair of parents she has.
  8. I found the show very interesting but I also found myself yelling at the TV every time Jazz said she wanted to see her "beautiful vagina." As someone up thread said she probably uses that term to cover all of her new female parts but I found it very annoying that she brought it up so much. Everyone in her family knew what she was having done, she didn't need to keep bringing up her vagina. I don't think any of them wanted to hear much about it. Dr. Bowers even mentioned the specific names for her external genitals perhaps in the hope that Jazz would be clued in to the fact that her vagina was internal, not external.
  9. cannot get ride of the quote box, sorry! Could Tom Burley be Tom Christie? He was one of the settlers at Fraser's ridge and at least in the books plays a somewhat important role.
  10. Just saw this episode and was wondering the same thing....It didn't make any sense that Radar was delerious from the rabies shot or that Col Blake could tell the dog wasn't rabid without examining its brain tissue. I was also surprised that rabies vaccine was apparently readily available in Korea. Then again maybe rabies was prevalent there.
  11. I have a friend who was a marine and a body escort during the Korean war. They wouldn't send him over to Korea because he had 2 brothers already in combat units over there. He had some very moving stories to tell about the body escorts he handled and the very strict regulations there were for their conduct as escorts. That part of the episode rang very true to what I had heard from him.
  12. If I remember correctly Deja got a couple of text messages last night and they were shown on the screen? I was too far from the tv to read them. Can someone tell me what they said?? Thanks!
  13. My parents bought a new house when my sister and I were about Will and Zoe's age. We did not go house shopping with them. When they found the right house they told us about it and we drove by it but we never went in until it was ours. Maybe I am an old grouch but I see no reason for kids that age to go house shopping with their parents, especially when they are as undisciplined as Will and Zoe are. Their misbehavior is not cute, not entertaining, and disrespectful to the owners of the house they were in. Will and Zoe are cute kids and I don't expect them to behave perfectly but I expect them to mind their parents and for their parents to actually require them to behave when necessary. I
  14. Happy Birthday Dot! I always enjoy your comments on our favorite not so fabulous fat person. I hope you are having a great day.
  15. it is pretty sad when people will pay, sometimes in big bucks, to have someone who doesn't know them and will never know them wish them a happy birthday etc.
  16. Just curious....is this show on a cable channel somewhere?? Loved watching it while it was on TV and would like to see it again if possible.
  17. Thank you Ketzel for explaining the evolution of Whitney's and Roy's "relationship" I have a tendency to watch an episode or two, then be so disgusted by her I don't watch again for a few weeks. So I missed the news that Roy was gay. The episodes I did see did not show any kind of relationship between them other than as co-workers, so I was mystified by her comment in the clip referenced above that she thought their relationship was "in the bag". Rather scary that she can be so delusional but she has certainly given us enough evidence of that.
  18. This whole clip/conversation ticks me off. I only watch the show infrequently so I must have missed this the first time around. First of, Whitney is not "newly single." She wasn't married to Lennie so she was single and is still single. She thought the relationship with Roy was "in the bag?" What relationship??? They never dated, I don't even know if they ever even had any time alone. And she thinks he led her on? I think he was doing his best to be polite to her, no leading on. She can cry all she wants how she will never find a man because she is fat but until she does something about that all she is going to attract are fat fetishists. Nothing fabulous about that.
  19. I am pretty much done with this show. Tired of all the made up story lines and especially tired of the lori/monte antics. Not entertaining at all. I am with those who would like to see a show which focuses on the gown selection. Where we see the consultants recommend the best style gown for the bride. Where the bride and consultant have an in depth coversation about what the bride is looking for and they work together to find the best look for the bride. I don't want to see obnoxious relatives and friends. I don't want to see anymore shows where Monte is sent out for a pregnancy test or puts a turban on and pretends to be a psychic.
  20. I am very happy for Jeremy and Jinger with the birth of Felicity (and with the fact that she was born in a hospital) but I must admit to taking perverse pleasure in the name they picked for her, seeing as how Jeremy is so anti-Catholic. Felicity is the name of a saint and martyr in the early church and her name is mentioned in one of the Eucharistic prayers that can be used at mass. He may think the Catholic religion is misguided/ evil but he will always have a little bit of Catholicism in his life.
  21. Way back in 7th grade (1963) I took home economics. Our first "cooking Lesson" was cinnamon toast. We didn't follow a recipe. We just got some instructions and off we went. Not difficult for a 12 year old. Many of us had done it before I am sure. I am truly appalled that Jill would think it was necessary to put a recipe on it on her blog and that any of her followers were actually impressed with it.
  22. Question about the boat ride video. Is Israel wearing a life preserver??
  23. thank you for the answer Se Sumi and humbleopinion. Obviously I am not up to date on my duggar inlaw info!
  24. Can someone tell me who Duke is? I am assuming it is a nickname for one of the new babies??
  25. how embarassing for Josiah to have his mother bring up his sexual urges as part of her talk at the conference. Those urges are normal for all us us, especially if you are trying to be celibate. If he truly confided in her I presume he expected some helpful advice, not to have his horniness brought up to a bunch of strangers at a conference. Michelle apparantly found his problem amusing and worthy of a few laughs rather than being compassionate and keeping their discussion private. Shame on her.
