I haven't watched MTP since Chuck left (& I wasn't even a fan of his). I was just thinking who could be a great moderator: Robert Costa. He had moderated Washington Week on PBS & was very good. Unfortunately, he left PBS to work at CBS. Meet The Press has been a shadow of its earlier days--actually, ever since Tim Russert died.

Side by side spins? I've noticed in the past few years how few pairs teams are perfectly synchronized. They're probably spending more practice time on the lifts & side by side jumps these days.

Isabeau's LP was so light & elegant that one could forget how athletic an effort it was. The look of joy on her face at the end was perfect!

Watching Amber sobbing in the K & C was heartbreaking. Now that we know the reason for her lapse in program focusing, the ups & downs of her skating career so far, I wonder if she's going to give herself a break and not put herself through these painful experiences over & over. That was a beautiful triple axel 💙

Artistry truly is subjective. IMO, Jason's skating stands out from the crowd (men & women) because he skates *with* his music, and his whole body can interpret a song--without all the wild gestures. Dick Button would be sputtering & agonizing in the commentator's booth today. Back in his day, he described the excessive arm motions as "hanging laundry" (& it wasn't as overwrought back then as it is now). Michelle Kwan, during her Lori Nichols' choreography days, was similar. Her skating interpreted her music with her arms rarely rising above her shoulders. But, who knows. World's being in Boston next year may bring out the inner elf in Jason 🍀

I used to love pairs, back in the day. For some reason, the overhead lifts now are making me too nervous to enjoy. Am I imagining it or is there less chatting on the NBC/USA broadcast? I was late to the Women's SP and figured Terry wasn't there. Plus Tara & Johnny weren't yakking away during performances. Maybe viewers complained after Nationals.

I agree re: Ilia looking spent. Don't recall ever seeing him this way before. Watching other skaters, leaving the ice with long faces, always makes me think: are they wondering right now if all those long hours at the rink, day after day, is really worth it.

Just watched Jason skating to "Adios". In this era of skaters' arms flying up, down, and frantically all around, all of his body movements are measured & precise. They match the music. I looked up this music on YouTube. Several of the comments mentioned a similarity to Nina Simone's "Sinnerman" (which is why I looked it up). IMO, this type of music is a perfect match for Jason's style. I could watch it over & over.

That's what I've done with the Bertolli products. I believe it's called shrinkage. So I added shrimp to the shrimp & asparagus. But the last time I bought it, there was so little pasta in it that I decided it's not enough for two people (heck...barely enough for one).

There's a long article about Amber in today's Washington Post. I've used up my 10 free gifts. Does anyone here subscribe to the Post? She talks about skating so well at her rink, but then at competitions she has a hard time focusing on getting through her programs. She thinks it's her ADHD. I'm so glad she won Nationals.

I thought the same!!

Whew! Andrew had me worried for a while.

I watch Maine Cabin Masters and usually whenever kids arrive with their parents for the reveal, it's all "Whoahhhhhhh". And, of course, the neverending ads for the show *always* include some kids saying it over & over. But then the grownups at various TV shows can't just applaud the arrival of a celeb or a talent act, etc. The applause is always accompanied by screams of "Whooooooooo". OK...I feel better now 😁

Well, that's two whiney pants who returned to the awful, horrible, terrible Jeopardy. If I were the CEO of Jeopardy, I sure wouldn't let either one of these jerks back on the set. So, were TPTB afraid of some type of legal action from these people?

Whoever thought this would be a fun way for future parents to discover the baby's gender? One has to hope that the child of #2 reveal's couple never sees this reaction.

Yup. We need a backup...just in case. I'm not familiar enough with all the forums out there to make a suggestion.

My only hope is that James will take care of Yogesh in the Masters Tournament.

I was watching until a few minutes ago and decided to peek. I agree with proserpina65. He should never have been invited back after his outrageous sore loser behavior.

Chefs/cooks who include the word "your" in recipes (e.g., add your eggs, stir in your milk, sift your flour, prepare your pans, etc , etc., etc.) It's like fingernails on a blackboard 😖.

Something odd is going on here. I just deleted a comment I never posted 👀

Y'know...I would enjoy watching Worlds through the eyes of Canadian commentators (& it sure as heck would be better than listening to Tara!) Is NBC blocked in Canada?

Whew! Thanks for letting me know 😺.

Is anyone else having problems with this site? I couldn't read or do anything here via my phone. But it's weird on my laptop too.

So, we don't get to see the RD? When the current world champs are from the same country as NBC?

There wasn't an appropriate emoji for me to click on so here's my reaction: 😧. I knew someone who was raped by a man who walked through her unlocked sliding glass door's screen while she was vacuuming her house. She worked for the same foundation (in another state) that I worked for and had met the creep while out recruiting businesses to participate in a nationwide fundraising event. This was back in the 80's. There are thousands more jacked up creeps out there today, thanks to all the garbage they can watch in the privacy of their homes. I should consider this memory as a *new* reminder to myself to not leave a room with the sliding glass door open even with its screen locked.
