I came in supporting Mel C and Suni and along the way, I became a fan of Iman and Daniella. Congratulations to them for winning! The final two was spot on and JoJo was a worthy winner too, but I hoped that Iman would win. He definitely improved as the season progressed and he always had a great attitude and willingness to learn. I looked forward to his dances with Daniella, whose choreography was amazing this whole season. I love her as a pro.

The problem with Tyra is that she treats DWTS like it’s America’s Next Top Model with the over the top fashion, too much talking, and asking the contestants probing questions. Suni was sick and should’ve been left alone. I don’t believe JoJo was actually in the bottom two, but hey, who knows? Maybe the general DWTS audience has a problem with two women dancing together. Olivia is a good dancer, but it’s obvious production is stepping in and helping her ever since she was in the bottom two with Mel C. Everytime the powers that be have pulled the strings, that contestant makes it to the final and ends up in fourth place anyways. At this point, I like Iman the best. I look forward to seeing his dances with Daniella every week. Tonight, their paso wasn’t the best, but I really enjoyed their jive. He looks like he’s having a great time out there.

I could totally see that happen and I wouldn’t be mad about it. Iman is not the strongest dancer in the competition, but he is charming, gives it his all every week, and does a great job with the choreography that Daniella gives him. He doesn’t just stand there and let her do all the work. He also makes lifts look effortless. Daniella is amazing. Jenna is delivering great choreography every week, but Daniella is on another level. Imagine what she could do if she had a ringer. She kind of reminds me of Karina Smirnoff in that she’s a beautiful dancer who is just lovely to watch.

Unpopular opinion here, but I actually liked Leah and Michelle hosting.The first show was a big mess. However, I enjoyed the rest of the week. They made me laugh a lot of times and I would love for them to continue especially because I dislike Whitney Cummings. The thing I liked the most about Leah and Michelle was how well they treated Wendy’s staff. It’s very apparent that Wendy doesn’t treat her staff well especially Suzanne who was barely shown towards the end of last season. I liked that Leah and Michelle included and interacted with them. Norman, DJ Suss, and Suzanne looked genuinely happy!

Lol, I like Derek, but I feel second hand embarrassment whenever he calls the male celebs these names during his critiques.

Ugh, this is why I hate watching DWTS sometimes! Either my favorite makes it to the final and doesn’t win or gets eliminated too soon like Mel C. I’m not mad that Olivia stayed because I think she’s a good dancer, but how did a Spice Girl even get eliminated in the first place? She lacked confidence, but she was delivering great performances. It’s a shame we won’t get to see what could’ve been a breakthrough performance for her. I guess it came down to Gleb. He’s not very likable and frankly, I would’ve preferred a Mel and Val partnership instead.

I watched Halloween Kills today and I thought it wasn’t as good as Halloween 2018. I enjoyed the flashbacks to the 1978 Halloween, which to this day, is still my favorite scary movie ever. I didn’t like that Laurie wasn’t in this movie as much and I hated that Karen was killed especially with how awesome she was in the previous movie. I thought for a moment they were setting her up to kill too like they did with Laurie’s daughter in Halloween 4. The decisions made by some of the minor characters just made them look absolutely dumb. For example, why didn’t the Johns leave and why were they living in THAT house to begin with? I wouldn’t live there even if it was gifted to me lol. Overall, the sequel is ok, but it doesn’t live up to the original. Halloween 2018 should’ve been a one and done. It’s annoying that Michael Myers won’t die. It’s been established that the guy is supernatural, but I would like to see Laurie triumph once and for all.

I just finished watching this show and I found it to be both very disturbing and compelling. I thought it was really well done. The acting was great and the set design was impressive.

This was the best episode of the season so far! I was 8 years old when all of this occurred so I didn’t know the full details. Back in elementary school, my teacher helped me write a letter to Bill Clinton and he actually wrote me back! This happened before the scandal hit. Who knows if he actually wrote it, but nonetheless, I thought it was so cool to receive a letter from the White House. As I watch the series, I can’t help but feel bad for Monica Lewinsky. Yes, she made a huge mistake getting involved with a married man who just happened to be the president, but it’s terrible that she was basically used to take down Bill Clinton. She was exposed by someone who she thought was her friend and had to deal with all of the negative media attention. I don’t think Bill Clinton was judged so harshly, even to this day. Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp is amazing. She makes me dislike Linda, but also, feel sorry for her. The part where she has shopping bags in her hand after turning Monica in, seems believable. I don’t think she felt remorse for what she did to Monica.

I think that Kim K did a better job than I was expecting. SNL isn’t very funny like it used to be, but this was one of the better episodes I’ve seen lately. However, the OJ jokes in the monologue made me cringe! Kim K personally knew Nicole and her kids so those jokes are disrespectful to her family as well as Ron Goldman’s family. How is Michael Che still there after the Simone Biles/Larry Nassar jokes during the Olympics? I guess his “my Instagram got hacked” story worked.

My favorite part of these Olympics in regards to gymnastics was seeing the gymnasts getting along. They were obviously after the same goal, but they still encouraged each other and seemed to be very friendly. I loved seeing that not just on the US team, but also amongst the different countries. The 2008 US team definitely had a lot of drama. I loved Shawn Johnson back then and she still remains one of my favorite gymnasts of all time along with Dominique Moceanu. There were a lot of stories about Shawn being treated like an outsider even though they all get along now.

Congratulations to Simone for winning the bronze on balance beam! It was great to see her come back for this event and be happy. Suni was doing so well until that part where she almost fell off the beam! Had that not happened, I think she would’ve won a medal. I like her attitude though. She recognizes when she doesn’t perform well, but she accepts the results and moves on instead of dwelling on it. Overall, I’m very proud of Team USA. A lot happened at these Olympics, but they never gave up. I love that everyone is coming home with a medal!

Is NBC even trying with their coverage of gymnastics lol? They only showed half of the floor routines and didn’t even bother showing the bronze medalists. What’s the point of mentioning that there was a tie for bronze or that Japan won an important medal if they’re not even going to show it? Waking up early to watch gymnastics live has been a pain for me, but it’s been worth it considering how terrible the coverage has been on NBC during prime time.

I found these pictures of Jade and her dad on the Olympics Twitter account. 💕 Jade is really lucky to have her dad by her side. They look like they have a wonderful relationship.

According to the NBC Sports app, the balance beam starts at 4:53 am eastern time. Simone will go third and Suni will go after her.

Yes! I’m so happy for Jade. Congratulations to her on winning the gold! Yesterday was a tough day for Jade, but she overcame that result and did an amazing job today. I’m happy that both gymnasts in third place got the bronze medal. It’s terrible when they do tiebreakers and only one gets the medal. I’m also happy that Simone will compete on the balance beam tomorrow. I can’t wait to see how she does. I wish her all the best.

I usually love Wendy, but she was so rude and moody lately lol. I remember one episode where she told her audience that no one looked good enough to be Eye Candy. She always criticizes them for applauding too much. Maybe that’s why Suzanne was hardly seen in the last few weeks. Plus, her interviews with some of the male guests this season have been so cringe. How could I also forget when she was implying that the DaBrat was hitting on her, only for DaBrat to later call Wendy out on it because none of that ever happened. It’s obvious Wendy was pretty much over the show by the end of the season so hopefully, the summer break will do her good.

Congratulations to Suni for winning the bronze! It wasn’t her best bars routine, but she still did a good job and now she has a medal in every color. Looking forward to seeing her on balance beam.

I’m sad for Jade. It’s very unfortunate that her steps were off on her first run to the vault. I think she definitely would’ve benefited from warming up on the actual apparatus before completing the event. I didn’t know they weren’t allowed to do that. I’m hoping Jade will shake this off and do really well tomorrow on FX. On the other hand, I’m very happy for Brazil. First, silver and now gold for Rebecca Andrade. She’s done great and made her country proud. I’m also happy that McKayla got the silver. I know she’s been controversial and not everyone’s favorite, but it’s still nice to see a US gymnast win. It’s crazy how things went from her not qualifying for any events to going on to compete on vault and win the silver medal.

I absolutely hate wolf turns 😑. I think that most of the times whether it’s performed on the balance beam or on floor, it just ends up looking so sloppy. I much prefer to see the Mustafina skill on floor. That one is so beautiful! It’s a shame that Simone still has to explain her decision. She’s losing awareness in the air and some people just don’t seem to want to understand that if she doesn’t land correctly, she could get seriously injured. I hope to see Simone in the event finals, but I completely understand if she decides not to compete.

I’m happy for Brazil too! Rebecca Andrade is truly an impressive gymnast. I think she has a great chance of winning gold in vault. Unfortunately for Suni, there will always be a comparison to Simone. I’m sure there will be critics who say that Suni only won because Simone didn’t compete which is unfair. Up to this point, it’s been all about Simone in the media especially on NBC, when in reality, there are so many other wonderful gymnasts in the US and around the world who just haven’t received that same level of attention. Suni has a great chance to medal in her next events and I think Jade does too. It would be awesome to see Jade win as well. I loved how supportive she and Suni were of one another.

Sorry! Posted twice.

Wow, congratulations to Suni on winning the all-around! She did an awesome job on all the events especially bars. Can’t wait to see her in the bars event final. It was a well-deserved win. She’s been so consistent and a great asset to the team. Jade did a good job despite the balance beam. Finishing in the top 10 is no easy feat. Overall, it was a great all-around final.

I think it takes an incredible amount of courage to do what Simone did especially at such an important event like the Olympics. I feel like gymnasts are often pushed to their limits, both physically and mentally, but the expectation is always for them to carry on no matter what even if it’s at the expense of their own well-being. I’m disappointed that the US team didn’t win gold because I’ve seen how hard they’ve worked over the years, but winning silver is nothing to scoff at. It’s a huge achievement. Grace, Jordan, and Suni stepped up and showed the rest of the world that they’re stars in their own right, not just understudies or a supporting cast to Simone. Yes, mistakes were made, but overall, they did a great job. Besides the balance beam, the Russian team was superior and deserved the win. I’m looking forward to the individual events. I’m excited to see more of Jade and Suni. I’m also curious to see if Simone will compete any further, but no matter what Simone decides to do, I just hope she’s ok and still feels proud of all that she has accomplished in gymnastics.

Team USA did what they could to catch up, but it just wasn’t enough. Congratulations to Team UK, they deserved the win. Not happy about Jordan winning, but very happy for the rest especially CT who is one of my favorite Challengers ever. Dee was also awesome and I’m glad she proved everyone wrong. I felt so bad for Leroy. He deserved to make it to the final four. I actually like Cara and Paulie, but they focused too much on politicking, eliminating Jordan and Tori, etc instead of actually competing. I think Cara needs to take a break. Zach said that Cara and Paulie made the team weaker. It’s somewhat true, but let’s not forget who started the whole throwing in someone from your own team into elimination. Laurel and Johnny would’ve been running the game instead of Cara and Paulie if things had gone their way. The elimination of Wes, who is probably the best swimmer, is where the downfall started for Team USA. They could’ve easily won this season had they not started throwing in their own players especially their strongest.
