Fostersmom

I won't miss Bailey, she came across as very insincere, like she was putting on a rehearsed performance. Her upspeak was also very annoying. I'm liking Anya a lot, I have a feeling she's going to be a dark horse. I want to see what she can make when they aren't on teams or locked into a specific theme. I also like Kat, although I don't think she's going to make it far, and Katianna. None of the men are really impressing me quite yet. And yeah, I don't picture Whole Foods as having a big selection of truly "whammy" foods. I don't shop there, but I'm not picturing them having total crap food like flaming hot jalapeño Cheetos or grape Fanta. The prepared lasagna or slice of pizza were actually pretty good choices. Trying to incorporate prepared foods into other dishes can't be easy.

I watched Hearts Around the Table: Jenna's First Love last night and I have a serious question..... was this written by AI? The story was super weak, but okay, but the diaglog was clunky at best and weirdly generic. Like the random AI generated captions that pop up on You Tube or Instagram clips.

She was also quick to badmouth Olivia, whom she never met, for not rushing over to meet her at a random wedding IIRC.

Didn’t Ava only get the job because she knew the superintendent was cheating on his wife or something? I can’t remember exactly, but I don’t think it was skill or credentials based. Do we know what she did before becoming the principal?

I feel like the last scene with Barbara was setting it up for her to become principal and the obvious first decision will be her hiring Ava as a teacher…. After all the teachers union makes it impossible to fire teachers.

I think Anna's "running hot" when she tries to do exactly how, when, and what, Amber demands, but is "running cold" when she finally has enough of Amber's overbearing demands and stands up for herself and does what is best for Anna, not what's best according to Amber. I mean, look at Amber's therapy session.... it's all about what Liz, Bryce, and Anna are doing wrong while poor put upon, Saint Amber is just trying to ensure they all do exactly what Amber wants in the way Amber wants. Screw what's best for any of them, this was supposed to be Amber's year! I'm surprised she isn't complaining about Emma and Alex daring to be graduating too. Other than Liz who IMO got pregnant on purpose to trap Bryce, Amber knew the other three's plans when she decided she had to go to college right then. Amber could have put off her schooling for a year or even 6 months, to give her kids THEIR years. I have no doubt Amber sucked all the joy out of Anna's college experience the second she enrolled in classes. Why do your own thing when you can compete with your child and tear her down every step of the way?

Maybe I'm misremembering, but didn't Joy have questions about God and her relationship with religion previously and Joe helped her see her path? It was one of the sisters before they were married and I swear it was Joy.

It seems her Tourette’s didn’t emerge until she was a teen. I have MS, it emerged when I was 26. Looking back I can see things that were sort of happening they weren’t normal, but I didn’t think too much of them. When I woke up one day and couldn’t see right, I went to the eye doctor. 5 minutes into the appointment, he told me it was neurological and I needed to get my ass to a doctor for a neurologist referral. She might have had little things that she did that didn’t full on present themselves as Tourette’s…. Until they did.

Why doesn't she have any eyebrows?

I just usually watch for the commercials and the half time, but Jon Batiste will no doubt be the best part of the whole show! I don't care who wins either way, but I kinda want the Chiefs to win just to see the whole 3 in a row thing. Oh, and to watch all the whiners I work with crying about how it was fixed tomorrow. And because this this is where my priorities lie.... what is going on with Patrick's hair? They showed the back of his head in the locker room 15 minutes ago and its was not good! Oh, and what the hell is Tom Brady wearing as a watch? That was gaudy as all hell.

I mean what can go wrong? Lydia knew him a whole 4 months before they got engaged.

Years ago I worked with a woman who said she had Lyme disease. This was mid to late 90s. I was in high school/college. It was a crappy retail job, think a small Walmart kind of chain. She'd miss days all the time, said it was the Lyme disease. If I had to guess the was late 30s at most, but but she was a rough looking woman who could hack been in her 20s or 50s, it was hard to gauge. She had a daughter, 8.9 years old. I can't remember exactly, but she started saying she or her daughter had cancer. For the life of me, I can't remember which. People started giving her money. Not thousands, but $10 here and there. Which doesn't seem like a lot, but when the majority of the employees in the store where part time or barley full time (32 hours) and minimum wage was less than $4.50, that was a few hours of work. I worked the service desk and one night I took a phone call from a guy who said he was a lawyer at blah, blah, blah and asked if X worked there. Yes she does. Has she been telling people there is cancer? Yes. He said that wasn't true and he needed to talk to someone. I couldn't transfer that call to a manger fast enough. I'd like to believe the Lyme disease was real, sometimes her calfs and ankles would be swollen and purple, so there was something physical going on. Do we know how many episodes of this there will be? I don't remember hearing about this woman before but I've half followed the story of the woman who worked on Grey's Anatomy who basically did the same thing.

The original menu seemed to have "shrimp" a "burger" and "chicken". Who knows what they were made of. The owner needed way more than a restaurant make over, but I don't see Gordon recommending her just close the place and get her life and self in order.

Trent: there's an estimated 35-40,000 little people in this world Quick Google search cuz that didn't sound right at all... LPA estimated there are 651,700 little people in the world. God help Bryce if Liz is meaner to him now than she was before.

Jinger, out of all the kids, has always struck me as the one actually open to learning what they don't know. I don't think she was ever happy being woefully undereducated and so sheltered from the world. It's not like she was blind to the world around her, she saw things were different when they were all paraded around out in public. Was she brave enough to question things or push her parents for answers, obviously not. But she basically went running to change, as narrow as it may seem to some the second she said I DO.

Why worry about virus ridden thumb drives when the second police chief is just sticking bottles of pills to be used as evidence in her coat pockets?

He worked at a state college as lawn maintenance supervisor or something like that, but google says he was only there for like 5 years. Then he started selling cars. My thoughts on that has always been he figured if Jonah could manage it, he was sure to be a much better salesman than his kid. I doubt 5 years at the college earned him a real pension, especially since it seems like he quit

This show must be be paying well enough if they can afford to live and support everyone with 2 jobs between 5 adults, 2 teens, and a new born. Brice has a job and maybe Jonah. What's the game plan on sending 2 teens of to college in a few months? I'll have to assume TLC paid for the family trip to Puerto Rico over the summer where every one, their boyfriend, and girl friends were there.... except Anna.

Anna asked people not to comment or ask questions about this season of the show on on her Instagram story last night.... she's got to relive it and some things that will be said about her are true and some are not. This makes me sad for her..... we've seen how they treat her and talk about her when they are supposedly one big happy family. I can't imagine they are going to be anything other than completely horrible now that there's a full on falling out.

How is that any different from the rest of the family relationships? They all give that off.

Pretty certain it was sparkling cider.... unless champagne has calorie info on the side of the bottle. I don't really drink, so maybe they do. Let's be honest... Jessa probably only knows the superficial things like Jana is handy, she likes to build stuff, about Jana. She can claim they are best friends, but when Jana needs to really talk to her bestie, I'm guessing she calls Abbie, not Jessa. Speaking of best friends, what ever happened to Jana's friend who lived with them? I can't remember her name, but they were always together for a long time. The introducing the wedding party thing was kinda weird. If that's a thing now, I don't like it. I can't believe there was really anyone invited to this particular wedding who didn't know pretty much every other person there except maybe the grandparents. I will say the wedding party intro let me see Joy had the best hair of the wedding party! LOL! I'm not liking the highlights/obvious dye jobs the older Duggar sisters and Abbie have been loving and the poor younger sisters need a good 8 inches hacked off.

Okay, these people have been gone, what, 2 weeks from their families? Maybe 3? The melt downs are ridiculous. What are the going to do if they actually win and have to move to Connecticut and their families can't join right away? At this point, none of them are overly impressing me, with the women only having a slight edge over the men.

She looks like a 1920's street urchin and the rest look like they might have had a slightly rough day at work. It's not like they don't have a huge ocean to go clean up in, is I don't understand how she looks SO much dirtier than the rest, unless she's literally smearing mud on herself. It does seem Rachel's game to lose now with her steal a vote and idol. I get the Caroline vote, over Sue. Andy knows Sue isn't going to convince a jury to vote for her in the end. Caroline probably wouldn't either, but she was the bigger threat out of the duo and he's obviously written Teeny off too as a jury threat.

Different muscles being used in different ways. I don't know if she lost inches, but I'd been thinking from about the second half of the season on, her breasts were getting bigger. Which would make sense if instead of her normal rugby workouts where she might have been doing a lot of work on her pecs, to the dancing where she might have not have been focusing so much on her regular workouts and those muscles were becoming less worked, and therefore softer. She stiff arms a lot of her rugby opponents, needs to keep those muscles strong, not needed quite so much dancing.

I follows her on insta and I honestly can’t tell. It seems there’s been a falling out, rumor has it the family is not happy with her boyfriend. He seems to be a grown ass man and not white, so in other words not controllable. Liz made a snarky insta about the baby’s birthday party when someone asked where Anna was, and liz said Anna wasn’t able to make it. Anna said she could have if she had been invited. So yeah, something going on for sure. Oh and the whole family and random boyfriends/girfriends went to Puerto Rico this summer and Anna wasn't there either.
