Scout Finch

"I have a message for the American people: Frankie is a jackass." (He did call Kanye West that, and I'm pretty sure that for once there was an overwhelming agreement from people on both sides of the political spectrum!)

At the end of the day, both dimo and Nashville cracked me up! ETA: It was missing an important "the."

Watching a bunch of men cooing over a dog and baby-talking to it just warms my heart. Men with babies do nothing for me but I love a guy who's not afraid to be mushy about his furry companion. Izzy has definitely given certain people a little likability and increased others'. Well, until she leaves, that is.

I'm gonna go with beagletime's excuse! I always figured it was some sort of little let's-make-them-look-more-primitive accessory. It definitely wasn't something they needed to use to identify each other!

Oh, I agree. I just can't help but think that in hindsight, it's the worst invitation ever! During the first viewing of the show, I really didn't like Hank pretty much up until he realized who Walter was. I've softened towards him slightly since--I'm on my third viewing--but was always aware of how he made Walt feel less than, intentionally or unintentionally. I think it's primarily the latter.

Izzy is some sort of terrier. Man, I would also be so freakin' excited if I were in that house. It already makes me happy when I encounter them, especially when I'm hiking because you can tell they are just having teh bestest time EVER! Someday when I have more room and a yard...

"Walt, just say the word and I'll take you on a ride-along " I think that makes poor Hank 100% responsible from the get-go. He propelled the ball onto the pinball table!

Dating myself here, but in the '70s my stepfather and I would listen to the CBS Radio Mystery Theater, hosted by E. G. Marshall. Although that was fiction, the way Keith tells stories is very similar to Marshall's.

I was kind of confused about that too.

I can't believe that after watching every single episode of the show from the beginning, that it just NOW dawns on me why they always wear that necklace. Duh, it's their microphones. I am an imbecile!

I'm on my third viewing and while I sometimes really miss the suspense that had me yelling "OMG!!" so many times when I first watched it, I do enjoy it more every time. I also notice lots of things I've missed. I couldn't stand Season 1 Jesse when I first watched the show but view him so differently now, right off the bat. The best example of doing a 180 on a character is Hector. LOATHED him the first time around except for when he got his revenge on Gus. I enjoy the hell out of him now and he really cracks me up. Can't help but love the crazy old bastard. DING!

Can we keep him, Mom, can we?? Whatever happens: "Who's a good boy? You's a good boy!"

Exactly. I've written several humorous stories about my adventures but the only person I ever poke fun at is myself, which I find more entertaining. I can't imagine ever writing about others in such a vicious manner.

Someone needs to Photoshop Frankie's head onto Little Edie's in a still shot from her flag dance! Given his exhausting, over-the-top performing, it would be perfect. It would be even more awesome with his head in the video, like some sort of JibJab thing. ETA: Me neither, housecat. I've never even used it. Hoping someone with mad skillz will take on the challenge. ETA Electric Boogaloo 2: Given that I LOVE documentaries, it's embarrassing to admit that I never saw Grey Gardens until I was in my late 40s.

ITA. They remind me of Gary Busey's WTF advertising storylines when he was on Celebrity Apprentice.

We clearly do not have photographic memories.

housecat, I figured it was a foregone conclusion that I've also caught both seasons of Bachelor Pad and am avidly watching Bachelor in Paradise. Will someone please help me? There needs to be a Promises facility for people like us. Daily group sessions involve watching things such as CSPAN and PBS (which I actually DO watch sporadically), and you are not allowed to use phrases like "it's what the house wants," "blood on my hands," "taking our relationship to the next level" and "here for the right reasons."

Hey, did y'all know that Sarah liked Brooks and had hoped he would be on the show? Yeah, me either. I can't help but like Lacey. She doesn't appear to have one mean bone in her body or that she was ever a mean girl in school. LOVED your spider tangent, Irritable. I thought it would be funny/ironic if it had been a black widow on him! My phobia is so bad that if I come across a picture in a magazine, I--after a few expletives about it being unexpected--gingerly turn the page, taking care that no part of my fingers touch it, lest it somehow come to life. BTW, all arachnophobes really need to watch British comedian Phil Jupitus' 20-minute diatribe against spiders. Hilarious and relatable!

slasherboy, with the exception of season 4, I have also watched it from the very beginning. I have to wonder what I could have accomplished if I hadn't wasted hundreds of hours watching Big Brother and every season of The Bachelor/ette.

I'm so lucky that a close coworker is also into it. I introduced her to this thread as she never knew anything about what happened on the broadcast vs. the feeds. Yesterday, she told me she wasn't going to watch the show anymore, given how frustrating it is. She's just going to continue reading this thread.

Given that I was making a bad joke, I wasn't concerned with syntax or context. I think the majority of people assign the same cursory interpretation to that phrase. However, the vast majority of people also do not appear to know the difference between "your/you're" and "loose/lose." My pet peeve is inappropriate apostrophe use. I've tried to explain to my supervisor the difference between plural and possessive but her emails still begin with "Dear Officer's and Staff." To return to the topic, I still can't decide whether I want Romeo or Adam to get the boot first. Adam seems a lot worse than Danny, so I find it surprising that Romeo doesn't seem to loathe him.

And yet, I am powerless to resist watching it. It's even a Season Pass on my TiVo, which means I deliberately choose teh stoopid.

I know Auto Correct was to blame but in this context it was ironically funny.

If you miss it on Monday, the episode airs again on Friday night. I already have two show I can't miss on Mondays and I wouldn't bother watching it online, so I'm glad for the rebroadcast.

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? Unfortunately, on this season's ANTM.
