Iain DeCaestecker has been named Performer of the Week by TV Line. http://tvline.com/2015/10/03/iain-de-caestecker-performance-agents-of-shield-season-3/

It's been a rough day throughout the Lowcountry. But people have kept a sense of humor. This is one of the more popular local memes.

I was wondering why this thread had been bumped. I was getting ready to remove it from the shows I follow when I saw it highlighted. Well, I guess we have no one to blame but ourselves for watching it and giving it good ratings!

What made me gag was when Adam, during his pitch to the twins, said how important song choice was going to be for them because they're a duo and then said that's why he'll be great for them because song choice is his strong suit. Um, no. :/ It makes me wonder if these contestants have ever watched the show because song choice is most definitely NOT Adam's strong suit. I'll bet that they don't make it to the lives on Adam's team. If they do make it to the lives, it'll be after a steal from one of the other coaches. JMO.

Well, tonight's episode should be a good one! Here's a tweet today from Johnny Weir: https://twitter.com/JohnnyGWeir/status/648534315429597184 Johnny also posted a photo on his Instagram: https://instagram.com/p/8LliUahhUa/

Viola Davis was also Oscar nominated for her performance in "Doubt" a few years prior to "The Help." I think even Meryl Streep thought that Viola should have won for "The Help." I can't remember her exact words when she accepted her Oscar for "The Iron Lady" but she made a special comment to Viola Davis at the time that, IMO indicated that she was kind of surprised that she (Meryl) was up there accepting instead of Viola. I'm SO happy for Viola Davis! I ONLY watch HTGAWM because of her. It's not the greatest show by any means but Viola's performances are definitely worth the price of admission! One other comment about Viola's well-deserved win: Just a coincidence, I suppose but did anyone else notice that her ground breaking Emmy award was presented by Adrien Brody who also famously--with a bend-her-over-backwards full-on kiss--presented Halle Berry with the first Best Actress Oscar ever won by an African American actress?

T-Rav has released a photo of himself following the bar fight. http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/TheBattery/archives/2015/09/17/thomas-ravenel-releases-photo-of-injury-from-attack And photos of Kathryn filming around town show a pronounced baby bump. http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/HolyCinema/archives/2015/09/17/pregnant-kathryn-dennis-spotted-filming-in-downtown-charleston

There's almost no place to go but up. Both the mother and the father have set a very low bar.

Top Chef’s Tom Colicchio Is Ending Tipping During Lunch at His Flagship Restaurant. http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2015/09/15/tom_colicchio_ending_tipping_at_craft_during_lunch_this_is_great_news.html

Yes, it's the Charleston NBC affiliate. I've read articles from several of the local television stations and not one of them refer to him as anything but a reality TV star. I agree with you, that is very strange.

Thomas Ravenel assaulted in downtown Charleston bar, police say. http://counton2.com/2015/09/15/thomas-ravenel-assaulted-in-downtown-charleston-bar-police-say I guess Thomas never heard that old adage, "Nothing good ever happens after midnight." :)

Season 5 Champion Hosea Rosenberg hosted an interesting private event recently. Keep in mind that he's Colorado based. ;) http://www.hightimes.com/read/top-chef-winners-pot-dinner

Allison Janney talks about her first Emmy Award and discusses The West Wing. http://variety.com/2015/tv/awards/allison-janney-emmys-west-wing-1201573156/

For those who don't follow what's current in Country, I'd think that this is the video where most would be familiar with Jennifer Nettles.

First Blake and Miranda, and now Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale have filed for divorce: http://bigstory.ap.org/urn:publicid:ap.org:308dea6d49b14b9ab61cfae6c43f8425

It would seem that Craig is back in Charleston, or at the very least he was in town last night for the Charleston TweetUp. https://twitter.com/Charlestonion/status/624557529792675840

A bit more info on Sunday's Emanuel AME Benefit in this tweet from Sermet's: https://twitter.com/sermets_/status/621819035622240257 Greeters will be Cameron, Kathryn, Landon, Jennifer, Danni, Shep, Cooper and JD. And Thomas--along with Jennifer and Danni--is among the sponsors covering the full cost of the event so ALL ticket proceeds will go to the AME fund. The staff of Sermet's is also among the sponsors which is incredibly nice considering they're F&B employees and don't exactly have the deep pockets that some of the other sponsors do. Kudos to them. Several of the cast members were also on "Lowcountry Live", a local news/public interest program on the Charleston ABC affiliate, this morning. There's a photo with this tweet from Landon: https://twitter.com/ClementsLandon/status/622057560028352513

Hootie and the Blowfish do appear in SC quite often. Hootie Homegrown weekend is upcoming on Aug. 7th and 8th. They'll be performing at the Family Circle Stadium in Charleston on those dates next month. It's an annual thing.

I had seen Roger Rees most recently this past season on the now cancelled "Forever." I loved all of his characters but certainly had a soft spot for Lord John Marbury. :(
