  1. True. I think that's why I'm entertained by their acting. It's so obviously awful and yet the heat of the moment fools the others. Now, if they were condescending like Elisa & Corinne or the Reilly's, then I'd see it different.
  2. I will never tire of the Afganimals tricking the other racers into believing their lies. You'd think the others would have learned by now. Don't trust the Afganimals!. And yet they do. Pure entertainment. Victor's doing a great job considering he's racing all alone. Can't wait for next week's cat fight.
  3. Did Jane Fonda have knee surgery or problems in real life? I heard that's why they wrote that into the storyline to explain her limping.
  4. Thank you for punctuating my point. The show's creators need to reach beyond the Grace and Frankie storyline because people are complex. Typically, younger viewers are more interested in watching people similar to themselves in age and status. The same thing goes for older people. Same goes for gay, straight...etc. But since human beings are complicated and thereby do not all fit into a cookie cutter mold, the show's creators are smart to think dynamically and to incorporate storylines beyond just that of Grace and Frankie.
  5. I think the show's creators are trying to appeal to a larger audience, and rightfully so. If every scene is just Grace & Frankie, Grace & Frankie, Grace & Frankie the show's only audience would be middle-aged & older women. By including the Robert & Sol storyline the show appeals to men (although gay mostly). By including the siblings' storyline the show appeals to the younger sect. Every storyline is not going to be everybody's cup 'o tea, but it's a smart move by the show's creators to try and broaden their viewing demographic.
  6. Didnt Robert have a heart attack one season?
  7. I fast forward through a lot of the Grace with Frankie scenes because Frankie is such an idiot that I almost can't stand to watch her. If its a scene of Grace with someone other than Frankie, I'll watch. Grace, albeit an uptight alcoholic, is at least more palatable then Frankie. Robert and Sol's scenes are what makes the show interesting for me. I'm glad to see them get more air time this season.
  8. They need to create some new challenges instead recycling the old ones.
  9. Just when I'm starting to feel sorry for Patrick he pulls another jerk move. I wouldn't want to be in that house with him, but he sure does bring the drama. Jorge and Khasan are adorable. They would make a cute couple.
  10. My guess would be that it has to do with his social game or lack thereof. Unlike Survivor of 20 years ago where everything was all about who's the strongest, who can last the longest hanging on a pole, or standing on an uncomfortable 2-inch plank of wood in the heat or who can eat the most slugs, etc., Survivor these days takes social game into consideration a lot more than it should.
  11. Aubrey would have too. What a major disappointment just to throwaway their vote. I would love to hear what Cirie and Aubrey felt the Tai did that fell into the "Outwit," "Outlast," "Outplay" criteria.
  12. Michaela set the condescension bar for me when she repeatedly told Hannah to "shut up" during the Gen X - Millennials season. Plus, a lot of Michaela's condescension is more subtle than Brad's obvious dumb jerk-ery, but it still exists. Of course there's the hair whip and the eye rolls Michaela's so infamous for, but there's also the disrespectful, smug chomping of the coconut during tribal council, the cup and thermos thing and the go-get-me-some fish conversation she had with Culpepper. A lot of Michaela's condescension goes right over the average viewer's head, which I'm sure is by design. It's her "Who me?" feigned innocence that only a more observant viewer picks up on that makes Culpepper appear to be a more despicable human being. That, plus the fact that's Culpepper's a man and so by default the female viewer is less forgiving.
  13. I don't know how anyone can like Michaela but not like Culpepper and vice versa. They're the same person. Both physically strong and athletic. Both hot headed. Both lacking in social skills. Both snarky and intimidating to the weaker sect. If you like one, you should like the other. If you hate one, you should hate the other.

  15. I haven't seen Brad do anything this season that may be seen as negative that wasn't deserved or provoked. People can't let go of the opinion they had of him from a previous season, and for that alone they dislike him this season. I say get over it. He's playing a great game this season, and considering TPTB were transparently letting him know "he's next" once Sierra got voted out, I don't blame him one iota for gloating his ass off after winning that immunity. He was entitled to that gloat. He'd earned it.
  16. Best episode this season! I was laughing my ass off watching Michaela finally get what's been coming to her. Too bad so sad. She was good at challenges, but nothing else. She had a major chip on her shoulder, bossed people around, acted all a fool and deserved every second of every shunning she endured. Bye, Felicia! I hope Troy, Sarah and Brad are in the final 3.
  17. I rarely post here but every time I drop in to check out whats happening all I see are plastic stans insulting the BB misfits. As a plastic stan its embarrassing to read presumably like minded people complain about the other side in a vileness that's almost as bad as the BB misfits themselves. As much as I want Shelby or Morgan to win the veto, I dread the inevitable gloating that will take place should that happen to come to light. I come to this site to escape the nastiness of SUCKs, but sometimes I can't tell the difference. To comment on your post @Lady Calypso, of course nobody's perfect, but when pointing out how vile the misfits are, plastic stans never seem to mention that plastics are also to blame unless its brought into question such as it was by my previous post. And measuring whether one side is more vile or more frequently vile is really not the arguement. There isn't a threshold on how many vile comments a BB contestants allowed to make, nor the number of said comments they're allowed. They are all at fault and should be given equal time. @peachmangosteen, yes, Twitter is a hot mess and Dani's uncle is downright frightening. Thats one of the reasons I bounce from site to site.
  18. Heres what you missed. Last night @ 8:50 Shelby referred to Kryssie as a ten thousand dollar tube of toothpaste. She referred to Justin as a fucking crackhead cocker spaniel. She referred to Jason as a snake who's gonna die alone in his mothers basement and that two hundred and fifty thousand dollars isn't enough to pull on his dick. Later @ 9:48 delicate Shelby said Kryssie can suck her fucking balls because she fucking hates her then said she had thought of saying Kryssie can lick her clit but since Kryssies bisexual she didn't want to encourage her. Plastic stans at SUCKS are making excuses for plastics while condemning the misfits for saying the very same foul mouthed things.
  19. I can't believe people would think its ok for Randal to wander away from his parents just because some stranger Rebecca doesn't know say its ok since SHE was watching him. There are crazy people in the world. Child molesters. Kidnappers. Anything could have happened and Rebecca had every right to pull Randall away from what he was doing. Imagine for a minute race were not an issue. Randal's white. Yvette is white and everyone at the pool is white. Would people be so ok with Randal wandering off like he did? I also can't believe people are ok with Yvette chastising Rebecca for not introducing herself. If Yvette felt that strongly about it, then why didn't SHE introduce herself? She could have just as easily walked over to Rebecca and said something like "your son is over here playing with my kids and I just want you to know I'm happy to keep an eye on him so you dont need to worry, and by the way you're family is more than welcome to come and sit with us." That would have been a better way to go than to judge her from afar.
  20. I hope they don't turn this show into a whole race thing every week. I don't mind if Kate's story line is about her weight because that's what the actress signed on for and because being that overweight is something that's avoidable, curable, unhealthy -- et cetera. Randal's race, on the other hand is none of those things and I don't want the writers to focus the story line on his race as if it's something he should being trying to fix. "Kevin is the perceived okay one." "Kevin is the normal one." "It's nice to see Kevin has flaws in his otherwise perfect life." I read those kind of comments time and time again and I don't get it. Why do viewers jump to the conclusion that Kevin is/was the golden child? Is it because Kate is overweight, Randal is black and Kevin is a Ken doll? Sounds like prejudice to me. The writers never portrayed Kevin as perfect or favored or chosen or anything that would lead the viewers to anything other than he's one of three children who had their issues. It's as if when Kevin has an issue the viewers are actually happy as in "See, you're not so perfect afterall, Kevin" even though the writers never said he was. I pray they don't make the mom become friends with that smug prejudice woman at the pool who jumped to conclusion about how mom is raising Randal. Mom extended her arm to shake the woman's hand, "Hi, I'm his mother. I'm sorry. I was just a little panicked." Then smug prejudice woman smirks at mom and shakes her hand - pause - continue smirking - hold that smirk - through gritted teeth, "Oh, WE know who YOU are. When a white woman has a black child and they don't introduce themselves to any of us, we tend to take notice." I would of smacked that bitch and moved on. Mom had every right to be frantic that Randal had wandered off to play with other kids. Mom was looking everywhere for her son and he could have been kidnapped for all mom knew. Yet, all that smug prejudice woman assumed was that mom didn't want Randal playing with THOSE kids. Smug prejudice woman owes mom an apology. Big time! Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate. Don't be so insecure. I want to scold you for stalking Toby, but I get it. You did exactly what a lot of other women would have done but none would be willing to admit it. I'm on Toby's side in this one. He had every right to be pissed that she researched his ex, lurked around her place of business, took a job with her then stupidly thinks Toby should be okay with all of that.
  21. LMAO at all the drama queens on here who can dish it out but can't take it.
  22. Haha. Did he really? What a tool! I'd like to hear that conversation. Scott- You're HOH and you have the power but I'm going to LET you vote the way you want and in exchange you have to give me safety. Alex- Yes I am HOH and yes I'm going to vote the way I want with or without your weak ass pointless offer, but thanks for giving me your blessing. Idiot.
  23. God no. I want Monte to stay. This is a shit season (dime store props and competitions, no exit interviews, limited Julie, too much America manipulation) so at least give me some entertainment outlet. Monte's the gift that keeps on giving.
  24. You say that like you think she's discriminating against Danielle for being a single parent. Like it's a moral or prejudice thing. Morgan's "She has a son" comment is Morgan thinking ahead to the finale. People are more sympathetic toward people who have children. Morgan doesn't want to lose to Danielle for a stupid reason like that. If she has to lose to Danielle, she'd rather lose because the people who do the voting feel Danielle played a better game and not "Too bad, so sad. There was nothing you could have done differently, Morgan, because Danielle has a kid and you don't and so we voted for HER to win."
  25. [snip] The casino guy was making generic small talk with Oliver then later he was coming on to Connor. Connor told him to go back to Oliver. Casino guy said he's not into Asians. Connor flew off the handle and started accusing casino guy of all sorts of things: no fems, masc only, no fatties.
