I've been rewatching this show because I had forgotten a few things. Some of the things I noticed that from the time Owen went to Germany and got Teddy pregnant (season 14 not sure of episode maybe 7?) to the time Alex leaves (Season 16 towards the end) only about a year or a bit more had passed. And so much had happened!! This happened in no particular order because I wrote them as they came to me. Jo's husband died and she got engaged to Alex. April lost her faith, drank a lot, slept with a few guys. Jackson funded a contest. April was in charge of the contest not knowing Jackson had funded it. Owen and Amelia fostered a baby and a teenager. April finds her faith again. The weed cookies at the beginning of the contest presentations. The crisis from Grandpa Avery. The Avery Foundation becomes the Catherine Fox Foundation. Catherine gets cancer. April gets together with Matthew. Betty (Amelia's foster daughter) goes to rehab, runs away. overdoses. Teddy returns to Grey Sloan (three months pregnant). Jo and Alex's wedding and get married on the ferry. April and Matthew get married. Linc becomes part of the staff. Linc tries to date Meredith. DeLuca starts to date Meredith. Deluca's father shows up. Betty lets Owen adopt Leo (Amelia decides NOT to be part of the adoption). Bailey has a heart attack. Richard is fired and goes to another hospital. Korashick (spelling?) is chief of chiefs. Jo finds her biological mother. Owen finds out that Teddy is going to have his baby. Teddy begins to "date" Korascik (spelling). Jo has a breakdown. Jo and Alex get married again (forgot to send in papers after they got married the first time). Alex is chief of staff at Pacific Hospital (where Richard works). Owen works with Alex and Richard. Meredith gets into trouble for insurance fraud. Meredith does community service. Somewhere in all of this Alex had also been interim chief of surgery for Bailey. Somewhere in all of this Teddy has the baby. Meredith goes before the medical licensing board. Alex disappears and divorces Jo. I based all these things on Teddy's pregnancy beginning when Owen went to Germany. I'm sure I missed a few things

Amelia also slept with Korasch (spelling?) he slept with Teddy, April, Hann too

I hated this episode!! The only thing I liked was knowing that Jackson and April were back together (I suspected that they might be). Actually, I hated this whole season! From breaking up Amelia and Linc to pairing up Amelia and Kai to the stupid storyline of going to Minnesota. I hated it all! And I don't like the Meredith and what's his name story neither. And Maggie, Teddy, Owen etc, etc. were annoying too! (The only one I liked was Jo - this after going back and forth from like to dislike since she got on the show.) Whoever said that Amelia and Kai are boring were right, it seems just to be storyline to say, "Hey, we support LGBQT community! Look at our story!" I just don't like them together or separately. They are sooo boring and seem to have just fallen for each other so quickly - but that is what Amelia does - she has said so many, many times before. And while I agree that it was Meredith's call to proceed with the operation (she is chief of general surgery) but how dumb to try a risky operation when there is NO BLOOD to use!! God, this episode was infuriating!!! Plus the whole entrapment of Owen (I suspected as much), Owen didn't give him any drugs and the guy still went after Owen. But at this point - I DON"T CARE!! I hate this season!! Sorry, rant over!

i don't think Noi planned that "scavanger hunt" at all. She said she'd been planning it for weeks! At that point they'd been married for less than three weeks, so she started planning on their wedding day? Jasmine, the problem is the person who speaks with a "tone" is you. Michael asked you for help to communicate with you and your response is not to talk with a tone. he asked for clarification and (IRC) you said something like "There's that tone". As for Lindsey and Mark/Katina and O please just throw in the towel!

I heard that too!!

I very rarely comment on this show but after last season (0/5) and watching this season - what is wrong with the "judges" who match up these couples?? They seem to really match up people who don't have anything in common. I have a cousin who married someone that we all thought - WHAT???? Mostly because of the way he looked and how he talked (I know, pretty judgmental of us!). He also had some interests that we knew she would not choose to participate in. However, as time has passed and getting to know him, we realize that they have the same outlook on what a marriage should be (to them), raising children, finances, and their faith. They also value family, commitment, and each other. So despite that at first sight, they seem to have nothing to sustain a marriage in reality they have the important things needed in a marriage. These couples don't seem to have even basic beliefs in common which I think is important in a marriage. They seem to not even respect each other - case in point Mark and Lindsey, Alyssa (not Chris, he came off as respectful, diplomatic, and kind), Michael and Jasmine. It doesn't even seem as they can be courteous with each other for an extended length of time. I feel badly for them all (except Alyssa, I think she's delusional) because it seemed they all came in with a hopeful attitude but unrealistic ideas/goals/expectations. Also - if a marriage only lasted ten days and not consummated is it really divorce or an annulment?

I found the discussion on Presidents' Day kind of funny. Here in California we have always gotten Feb. 12 for Abraham Lincoln and Feb. 22 for George Wahington and still do. Now it is the Monday closest to original birthday, so we get two four-day work weeks YAY!! I should clarify to say that this is for all public schools in the state (I don't know about other places/situations/state/city jobs). Maybe other states don't do this? I haven't commented in a long time but although I sometimes find Whoopi (and sometimes Sunny) annoying it has never come close to the anger/frustration/confusion I felt by a former co-host who has since left. I can hardly wait to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt tomorrow! He seems like such a nice person (plus my youngest nephew kind of looks like him 😊)

The sportscaster person was just a tad annoying to me - I'm not sure but did she imply that school made her child feel bad about being white? I wasn't sure about her point neither 😕 I never understood the hoopla around CRT. It is a university subject for law students that centers around unequal justice and laws for people of color (I think that's right, please correct me if I didn't get it right). In school we do talk about race but of course at a very basic level ( I mostly taught first and second grade). We "discuss" about how we should try to be friends with everyone and to decide on being friends by the way we behave not by how we look. My favorite discussion was when I read "The Sneetches" to my second graders. In the middle of it, my students began to raise their hands. I called on them and they made comments about how unfair the ones with stars were, how mean they were to the ones without stars even though they were Sneetches too. The one that got me was when one said, "it's like Martin Luther King said." A friend chimed in with "We're all people like they're all Sneetches." I was gutted. (Hope this is not OT)

Wow! I am still processing the whole announcement by MM. I actually tuned in about 10 minutes after the show began. It seemed as if MM had already been talking for a while. When she said something about a newborn, I thought, "She's pregnant again?" After a bit I realized that she was talking about her daughter! Isn't she like 9/10 months old? I don't think that is considered newborn or am I wrong? Her speech was gracious. The other hosts graciously said (lied) how she is not a snowflake (I'm surprised Joy's nose did not grow), an asset to the show, etc. And I don't care why she is leaving, the important thing is that she is leaving.

Regarding President Biden's "stance" on abortion/MM's sudden preaching against abortion - When did MM become an expert on spiritual matters specifically the Catholic faith? I was offended by her words. We are not a country founded in religious tenets but on the rights of its citizen and includes separation of Church and State. President Biden cannot (and should not) force his own personal religious beliefs on the country (although it seems that some Republicans think they can, apparently MM included) What President Biden believes personally and actually practices (eg. if HE got pregnant he would not get an abortion) and his representing the people he has sworn to serve (all Americans) are not really in conflict. I personally believe that abortion is wrong, my faith (I am Catholic) says that if I am asked about something that I believe is wrong I must in good faith share my opinion. I had a friend years ago who was pregnant and not in the best place to have a baby. She asked me what I would do, I answered I would not have one. She really thought about and went on to have an abortion. I did not condemn her nor judge her (that is NOT my place) and she continued to be my friend until we went on to separate places in our lives. So unless every single woman who is contemplating an abortion comes up to me and asks my opinion, it is NONE of my business. I also believe that God gave us free will, we are in charge of the choices we make in our lives (I've made wrong choices/decisions and regret quite a few, others were lessons in life, some a test of my beliefs). FREE WILL - meaning we are in charge of our choices which includes our bodies. So if God can give us and trust us with the ability to choose what to do with our bodies why can't some GOP's and right wing people? I hope I did not go off topic.

I've found MM annoying these past three or four years for so many reasons - many have been "talked" about on this thread. But one thing was about how she seems to look to the side when the panel is talking/discussing. I never really saw it and I would think to myself, "Wow, it's not enough to be annoyed with her for what she does but also really picking on a small physical tick." So I want to apologize to those of you who have noticed it. I truly never did until today~ She really does consistently seem to look towards the side then react with a (imo) a fake smile or laugh. It's as if she is being instructed on what her reaction should be. So I offer you heartfelt apology - I am sorry 😞

Oh my goodness! I cannot agree with you more!! I just want to see my niece's new baby - She was born last June and I've only had glimpses of her. And I miss her big (four year old) sister's hugs and voice too. I just want to be able to play with them. I too have over indulged in Amazon packages. 🙂 It seems as though for MM the most important thing about receiving the vaccine is getting drunk? REALLY?! I really enjoyed Gov. Newsome's answers to the questions - specifically about the recall. He responded so well to that one - from what he said (and in line with what I have read as well) -it is being funded/pushed by Proud Boys, QAnon and other fringe groups. I had to laugh when MM said that she would rather live in Fl than CA, I have to admit I commented outloud, "Well, we really don't want you here neither."

I found it kind of interesting that MM focused on only one word "Neanderthal" and left out the second word "thinking". I wonder if Biden had said that the Republican governors who were discontinuing the requirement to wear a mask were using "magical thinking", would the Republicans then say that Biden thought they were "magical"? MM is so awful, I really try to follow her thinking but it is so convoluted and disjointed that the majority of the time it doesn't make sense to me. I love how Ana brought up the issues that two Republicans have, but that the Republican (as a whole) are only focusing on Cuomo. Shouldn't they just lump all three together? Maybe that's just me.

I really enjoyed today's show. Everyone had a chance to speak and respond to each other. I have to say that Joy's comparing the Republicans to cannibalistic turtles - LOL.

Re: today's show, I thought that Biden's press secretary, Jen Psaki, was pretty good. I liked how she said that they are providing medical help as well as education for the children who do not have family with them at this time. Apparently these children were sent across the border without any parents which is different than what the previous administration did (physically taking them form their parents). And MM saying "potato, potahto" - shut up. Side note: Is MM going to winter formal? Or just trying out hairstyles for prom?
