  1. This article is a little old and no news about a release date but it does give some possible storyline spoilers for where Season 2 might be headed. World on Fire Season 2
  2. I'm two episodes into this series and it is really good. I've watch both episodes with my husband and I think he's quite enjoyed it too. He's a veteran and now a retiree after 21 years of service. We both really enjoyed the first episode and my husband got a good laugh out of the memories from basic/boot camp. The 2nd episode was much heavier and more emotionally tough to get through. They touched on a lot of really tough things. My heart broke for so many of them and their families. Has anyone else watched?
  3. Rege-Jean Page was also in the short-lived tv show "For the People." Prior to Bridgerton, that was the only thing I knew him from. I actually liked the show even though it had some annoying parts. I feel like it got better it's second season, and Rege's character got a lot better in my opinion, but then it was gone.
  4. Is anyone else watching this? I've watched the first 2 episodes and I like it but it is somewhat hard to follow for me. I keep getting confused on which man is which and I am still confused as to why some of them are plotting against the Duke. It does have a pretty interesting plot and it's keeping me interested it's just hard for me to get time to watch due to poor internet at home so my viewing tends to be sporadic.
  5. I watched it but it was so bad. My husband had never seen the show and I kept talking about it so he watched it with me and I was so embarrassed. It was not like I had remembered it at all. I feel so sad that they remade it and did such an awful job. The cartoons were so weird and out of place. The host was boring and not very in to the performance or fun of the show. The contestants were flat while trying to pretend they were into the whole thing. I did laugh when the first team to get eliminated were told "don't worry, you won't leave empty handed, you've won...your shirt." I died. Only funny part of the show. Olmec's Temple final run was still fun and still made me wish I could do it. I hope they can fix this mess and come back better but I doubt it'll get the chance for a 2nd season.
  6. This is one of the things that frustrates me about Angelina. She always has to have a problem with one of the girls. The guys can rib her endlessly and ask a bunch of questions and its totally ok but, if the girls do it, she flips out.
  7. I can't remember if I saw any of the Ed Lee episodes or not. I started watching it when I first found it on PBS but then life got the better of me and I never finished. I saved it on Netflix when I saw it on there but it's gone now. I'll have to keep my eye out if it ever pops up included on any of the streaming apps I already pay for. Thank you for reminding me that he was on it.
  8. Thank you for sharing the article. It was a good read. Reading everything about Gabe and the situation just makes me ill. This guy is going to be able to open his own restaurant and according to him he is going to create a positive, non-toxic environment. How, exactly, is he going to do that when, also according to him, he didn't know the decision to lessen this woman's hours wasn't a toxic thing to do when there was no performance based reason to do so? This man didn't even think he did anything wrong until he got fired and actually got held accountable in some small way.
  9. My husband and I visited Louisville a couple of weekends ago and got to eat at Edward Lee's restaurant 610 Magnolia and it was amazing. When our Uber stopped at the location, we all looked at each other (even the Uber driver) like are we sure we are in the right place but sure enough we were. There's a reason they say to look for their distinctive door because otherwise you'd never know the place was a restaurant. In fact, it's actually an old converted barn that Lee bought from the previous owner after working for him for several years. The inside is very small, maybe only 15 tables or so, but there are numerous staff members who make sure you never run out of your drink or need anything without being intrusive. The food is amazing. It's all seasonal so you don't know your menu beforehand unless you email them and they only send it a day or two before your meal. It's a tasting menu so you have two options for most of the 5 courses. The pasta course only had the one option but I'm not certain if that is always the case or if its just the way it worked out that day. They also do an amuse bouche to start the meal. I did not partake in that part because it was foie gras. My husband ate it and said it was really good. The portion sizes were perfect which I have found is very hard to get right it seems. Both my husband and I felt full but not overly stuffed like we'd be sick and we cleaned our plates each time. There was only 1 course where we both picked the same thing and it was because neither of us wanted lobster (I don't eat shellfish, I'm not allergic but I really hate the texture). Otherwise, we each got something different and tasted each others. All of them were absolutely amazing! The best part of our visit is that while we were eating, the general manager, Liz, was talking to some guests seated behind us and talking to them about the whole evolution of the place. At the end, she mentioned that Lee was actually in-house that night. I was pretty excited to hear that but I thought there's no way he's actually going to come out. I figured he wouldn't want to make a big deal and would just stay in the back but he didn't! At first, he just came out of the back and checked somethings at the bar. I joked with my husband that I was going to tell everyone that Lee was there and said hi. My husband laughed and said I'm sure he said hi to someone in his staff so it's not completely untrue. But then, he actually came out to the guests. At first he just stopped at a table that was clearly there to have some kind of party and he handed the guest something and talked to him a while before disappearing again. The table was right next to ours so I was still on a high for being that close to him and I thought that would be the end of it. However, he came back out and walked around to every table and said hi and asked how we liked everything. He was so nice and friendly. I thought it was really neat for him to come out and meet with everyone. Very cool experience but, honestly, I still would've been happy even if he wasn't there. The food was amazing.
  10. I guess this show isn't getting much interest anymore. I just finished the episode on Puerto Rico which is stunningly beautiful but it still couldn't really hold my interest. I am still 1 episode behind as the Smokey Mountains episode has already aired and I haven't watched it yet. I just find myself getting bored. The setups all seem so phony and it doesn't have as many light moments that truly seem genuine like before.
  11. I have a hard time not feeling a certain type of way about him for the very reasons you pointed out. Dani repeatedly kept talking about wanting a kid and even said lets go have sex and if it happens, it happens. If he wasn't on board the baby making train, he could've exited stage left but he didn't and according to her at the reunion, and JL admitting most, if not all, of what she said was correct, JL kept trying to convince her he was ready and did want to build a life with her. I'm sorry but that's not someone who was taken advantage of or was trapped into having a baby like his mother tried to claim. That is a fully grown adult making his own bed. Dani was honest, he was not. I'm not saying that Dani doesn't deserve some blame for the situation she is now in because it seems she knew a 24 year old boy wasn't really ready and she should've listened to her instincts about him not being ready instead of buying into his lies. However, I fault her less simply because she's the one who is actually dealing with everything. JL has opted out and is trying to put on a facade of caring about this baby all the while doing everything he can to dodge responsibility.
  12. Maybe I misunderstood the scene but I didn't think MJ was denying that she said that Reza couldn't meet Shams but was telling him that the edict didn't come from her but from Tommy, which is what she told GG as well when this whole thing started. She's always said that Tommy drew his line in the sand when it comes to Reza meeting Shams. I think she also admitted that she should have told Reza that he wouldn't get to meet Shams because of Tommy's wishes and not let him hear it from GG.
  13. I have to say the first episode of Season 3 in Texas wasn't my favorite. I just couldn't stay interested. I think his upcoming destinations sound far more interesting to me.
  14. Apparently a movie has been made about Anthony Bourdain. Roadrunner Movie
  15. It was during the ladies segment. Jake hasn’t been brought out to speak on anything yet.
  16. New episodes start June 3. Jenny and Snooki will also be hosting the Floribama Shore Reunion which airs Part 1 tomorrow.
  17. Which I have now been unable to take my eyes off the gap in her fake teeth on the upper left side. Every time she smiles, I see it. I don't remember seeing a hole in her dentures when they showed her cleaning them but I think it was either her bottom or top set and I can't remember which now. Why oh why do I care? I don't know but I.can.not.help.it!
  18. Can someone explain to me how it is that Jeremiah was abled to be matched with his bio-dad from a DNA/paternity test? I know you can be matched with the ancestry dna kits but I don't think that acts as a paternity test where you are comparing 2 samples. Also, I thought with those ancestry kits, they can only match people with others in their pool of samples of people who've done the same kit over the years. If Jeremiah's dad died in the 80s, it's not possible for him to be in said pool. I feel like this whole story with Dennis was just a set up to introduce the drama of Jeremiah's bio-dad. I feel like everyone already knew there was no relationship but they all played their part for the storyline.
  19. This is actually why I believe Tarik when he said there was no sex. I think Tarik lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw Minty in person and that is when Hazel shut everything down and became angry with Minty. I don't think Hazel liked how much Tarik was into Minty and vice versa. I think she realizes those two could really fall for each other and she was going to have none of it.
  20. Same! I am totally here for it. And to add to my enjoyment, there is no Hannah!
  21. As much as I wish this were true, I'm not sure we can hang our hat on it. This is the same show that had Abigail seemingly begin to have a relationship with Gowan who was involved in the deaths of a lot of people including her husband and son. I don't think it ever fully materialized but I believe that was because of Lori Laughlin's real life stuff and not because the show wasn't headed in that direction. I most definitely believe Elizabeth should be with Lucas but, honestly, I just don't see that happening. Elizabeth is probably going to be hurt that Nathan didn't tell her but before the end of the next episode I'm sure she'll be telling him it wasn't his fault and he shouldn't carry that guilt and it'll be swept under the rug. I feel like all the signs point to her picking Nathan. It's the classic fake out. They want us to think it'll be Lucas but it'll be Nathan. She has yet to tell Nathan that she doesn't have feelings for him. If she really wanted him and Allie to move on from her, she'd tell them both that she's not interested in Nathan that way and that she doesn't have those kinds of feelings for him but she hasn't. I'm sure the final episode of the season will be her finally really evaluating her feelings and realizing that the reason she could never say those things to Nathan is because she loves him too, she was just too scared to really go there with another man. Lucas will be left in the lurch and I'll be an unhappy camper. I just don't find any real romance in Nathan and Elizabeth. It's a huge snooze fest mixed with anger at the petulant man-child and woman who can't see she should want better for herself.
  22. Now that you say that, it is true. He is acting like Mike. I've very much felt like something deeper and darker is going on with Gus this season. He's always been a bit of a pain but it's on another level this season. I can't decide if its drugs, mental health or maybe both. He wasn't like this on The Challenge or last season. It's hard to watch because I really do believe something is different. I think the whole issue with Nilsa and his ex is that Nilsa's apology wasn't on tv and that was a huge thorn in his butt. He wanted a public flagging of her and he wasn't going to let it go until he got it. I wholeheartedly believe Nilsa and her repeated attempts to tell him she thought she had apologized and that everything was settled. I fully believe she did apologize and he accepted it but now he wants his public apology. He's done nothing but brewed over his "hurts" and he wants his pound of flesh.
  23. I feel like its a foregone conclusion that Elizabeth will pick Nathan. I don't say that because I've been spoiled or because of the teacher and the mountie thing. I feel like its a foregone conclusion because she is seemingly with Lucas right now, mid-season, and it's very typical with shows that do triangles that whoever the person is with at midseason is not the person they pick. I feel like they always pick the other person. I am not happy about it, at all. I don't particularly like the Nathan character and I don't see some big love story with them. I don't know why the writers haven't really even tried to do some kind of romantic story for them. It's embarrassing and sad. Lucas has tried and put in the effort and its disappointing that he'll most likely be left in the lurch. I could totally ship him with Fiona because that woman is fire! I can't see them doing that though. I do wonder what they'll do with the losing suitor.
  24. The new season starts tonight at 9:00 ET. I'm actually surprised this is even coming back.
  25. Right?! If I was single, I'd kill for the guy Erin has. He seems like such a sweet, mature guy but because she's only used to dating jerks, she can't figure out how to be happy with a good guy. Her loss. Someone will scoop him right up while she's still spinning her wheels not able to figure out why her love life is such a mess.
