I really enjoyed the show today. After intense weeks at work, it was fun to just listen to them chatter on various topics. Maybe it's my current state of mind, but the food looked good (wouldn't be cooking any of it for Thanksgiving anyway), they all seemed cheerful, and I liked the Thanksgiving theme. It just felt stress free. And after avoiding the show for so long due to whatsherface this just felt nice. If you're celebrating tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving!

Apparently I must have missed a whole season of the View as I have absolutely no recollection of this Jed person. But for tuning in today I might have gone my whole life without knowing who she is. So close.

I missed the show this week and with the previews indicating the possibility of a major character death, I actually wanted to know what happened before deciding to watch. And now that I know, I don't plan to watch. I'm just not up for seeing the death of a character that I really liked. I'm a casual watcher of this show and this doesn't do anything to increase my viewing. I hope the actor is moving on to something great. From Broadway to television, he's already proven that he's talented. Looking forward to seeing him in something else.

That's fine. I eventually bailed on watching her on The View as I don't care to watch people I do not like. And I believe you that she connected them by default by mentioning them together. So she did herself no favors. My point was that when reading the article, she doesn't say that the stress of the interview had some part in her miscarriage. So if its based on the article. it's not a fair assumption. I'm the last person to defend her. But I do believe in holding people accountable to what they say and do. So, I provided the quote from the article in which she says she originally thought they were related. She had shared the headlines regarding the interview with her doctor. But her doctor provided some education and made the point that they are not related.

To be fair, after reading the original article, she doesn't put any blame on Seth Myers or the stress of an interview. Since this is MM, of course, she states that she originally considered how her lifestyle and career choices might have resulted in the miscarriage. But then she says this: "I used to argue on television for a living and I thought if maybe I had more of a serene environment or I was a calmer person or I was younger that this wouldn't have happened," she said, accoriding to ET. "I know from medical advice from my doctors that it's not true. But women blame themselves [when] things like that happen. I just don't want people to feel so alone. I felt really alone throughout the whole thing." So, it wasn't about Seth. It was about her. And she wants you all to know that her being an a**hole is just fine and hasn't impacted her ability to have children. Here's the article: https://www.insider.com/meghan-mccain-suffered-miscarriage-after-interview-with-seth-meyers-2021-10 The title of the article really does pull the reader in by implying a connection between the two events. Journalism!

I knew I recognized the actress from somewhere! Thanks!

I've really enjoyed a couple of absences this year. I have enjoyed Trump's absence from government and MM's absence from the View. And truly enjoying their absence means not reading their words, hearing their voices or seeing them on my television. #Eventually, they were no longer a topic of conversation. There's a sense of calm I hadn't felt in years. And then came a bunch of MM stuff across my Twitter feed. I decided to read the Variety article and it was full of the same ol' crap. I'm going back to my place of calm.

I *loved* this episode. I enjoyed the monologue. The Prince sketch was hilarious. I laughed at Daddy Long Legs. And as someone who has watched all episodes of the Squid Game I laughed a lot at the song. It was cool to see Daniel Craig pop up. I enjoyed WU. This episode had a lot 'good' and I found that I actually enjoyed every sketch! This is the only episode of the season I've watched. I skipped the KKW episode last week. But maybe I'll go back and watch the season opener.

I'm just watching it now and can happily say that I am 100% back as a viewer.

It's a year and a half later and I just watched this series. I really liked it a lot! I don't really have much to add since it doesn't appear there are many others but I'll be tuning in to every episode of season 2.

LOL I'm not one who thinks the sun shines out of her ass. My perspective isn't solely based on popularity but I do give more credence to people who are around someone 24/7 with first hand experience vs those who are on the outside looking in. I'm referring to the other islanders; not viewers, social media, message boards or anything else. If the other islanders come out and say that she was an ass, that would actually be interesting to hear. Now, I don't blame Charlie one bit. He did what was best for his heart and/or his game. I don't expect everyone to feel that way that I do. These are opinions and perceptions, after all. We don't agree and there's nothing wrong with that. Editing to add one more thought: The extreme reactions either way are odd to me. But, then again, maybe that is what contributes to her popularity and ratings. I've seen statements ranging from people vowing to not watch anymore now that she is gone to others saying her choice of dress for the last episode was a deliberate message to Charlie in order to make him feel bad about choosing a white woman over a black one. Because, you know, I guess people can read her thoughts. Good grief.

Yes, and I wish she'd handled the Cinco/Charlie thing differently. I saw some very early feedback about her being cocky and thought then that she wasn't. I thought it was confidence and self-assurance that, if shown by a male or a more traditional member of society, wouldn't have garnered a second thought. And that was pre-Charlie. I'd like her to keep her confidence but to consider others a bit more and be more self aware. I also think what is key is what the other islanders thought of her. They are the ones who were around her 24 hours a day. We would get a concentrated recap of her behavior, whether it was shrieking or being cocky. But if they enjoyed their time with her and felt she was a true friend, I'll take that over any other perspectives.

Totally understandable re: Cash. As for the next to go, are you referring to Trina? There have been some worries about the impact of this experience on her mental health. Shannon was definitely low on my list of likeable people. But she has already exited.

Regarding Andre', in one of the Paramount+ episodes there is footage of one of the games. Andre and Trina are kissing, so I guess the argument can be made that they've actually interacted with each other :) I know that kissing is like saying hello on this show, but there ya go.

Yes, that's bad. I took a look at the scene after reading this. They were talking and joking quietly in bed. She was laughing a lot and seemed to think they were joking back and forth. He seemed to be joking too, at first. But, she took it too far. And you could tell he was bothered. Now, what she said was actually true. But she's not as self aware as she thinks she is if she didn't consider how bothered someone would be by those comments, particularly someone she was interested in.

Cash seems to have a lot of support on Twitter. I don't follow instagram too much but folks are very vocal on twitter tonight. For a lot, she seemed to be the reason they tuned in. So, they're vowing to not watch the rest of the season. Charlie doesn't deserve any backlash, though. People are being stupid as usual. Even Cash even said that it was fine and he did what was right for him. Of course she tried to save face by then saying it was 'always Cinco'. Give Charlie a break.

I think it can be difficult to tell who is actually close and who 'the show' wants the audience to see as close. They're around each other 24/7 and we get a concentrated hour of competitions and some conversations (supporting particular storylines). It's also why I take what we see with a grain of salt. Since they are together 24/7, it's interesting (or will be interesting) to see how they view each other versus how the public views each individual based on what we were shown.

Ah well. I guess I'm one of the few, perhaps only one, here who is disappointed to see Cash go. While she is a flawed human being like the rest of them, I actually enjoyed her presence on the show more than some other islanders. Judging by the app respondents, many others did as well. Cash has a lot of life lessons to learn (which I would expect with a 20 something) but I didn't see her as someone who was intentionally mean or who intentionally mistreated others. Did she screw up? Sure. I just think she has the capacity to learn. And I enjoy that she's confident enough to express herself and be who she is, warts and all. When others were calling her arrogant and stating that she imagined that Cinco was into her, he really was. All in all, I think she's a good human being who will continue to learn and become the person she envisions herself to be. She's not there yet which is a lesson. But she has great potential.

I'm sorry for your loss today. Our pets can be such important parts of our lives. As for Josh, it's been 2 1/2 years since I lost my brother and found myself in tears when he said his sister passed. It's such a difficult thing. I wish him peace.

Well, Josh is her "man" so she can have at it. Will isn't. I don't condone Will's activities. But he's in a 'relationship' with Kyra, not Shannon.

I'd guess they WANT situations like this. Drama = ratings.

The whole Casa Amor thing was pretty dull this year. Was it always so short before? 3 or 4 days doesn't seem like enough time for anything to 'happen'. Then again maybe in Love Island time that's a lifetime.

Cash isn't delusional. She wasn't the only one who observed a stronger connection between Cinco/Cash than Cinco/Trina. I think she can do better than Cinco, but that's her choice.

I've watched previous seasons of the UK version but haven't checked out the current season. I wasn't up to watching 2 versions at once but maybe I'll check it out and see if it is any more interesting.

Sure, I can feel a little for Trina. I feel bad that she chose this show. It's unfortunate but this is the wrong trip for that kind of baggage. But perhaps the short term 'fame' and attention is worth it. I just note that she didn't seem to have an issue when she went for Cinco when he was coupled up with Cash. So, I really don't fault Cash for being an active participant in this game show.
