The all pink and their reasoning for it gets a huge eye roll from me. I also don't buy for one minute that all the men lied about everything and all the women were the paragons of virtue as they seem intent to paint things. Every season has some couples where the wife is less at fault, more honest, more likeable, whatever, and others where the husband is that, and others where it's pretty equal. This season is no different (though pretty much nobody ended up likeable by the end). ETA: I really think they should go back to keeping the couples isolated from each other. When they're all up in each other's business all the time it's exhausting and potentially harms their relationships. I think this season especially they fed into other's issues and really seemed to turn into a hive mind (particularly the women). Like all the couples' issues became all wrapped up in the other couples' issues instead of just focusing on their own relationships.

I don't know if other contestants did this as well and I just didn't notice, but I felt like there were multiple times where they were supposed to do a certain technique or whatever and Morgan talked about how she doesn't do that technique. That kind of annoyed me. Not that I thought she was complaining really, just that it felt like she kind of kept in her box a bit too much. I did think they were probably the correct two in the finals based on the work they did, they I preferred Ryan.

Asta definitely knows, but I'm not sure about D'arcy.

I really hope some of these people have conversations and at least someone new is pulled into the know soon. We got D'arcy this season, but now we have Ben & Kate and Mike & Liv off doing their own alien-related things. I guess maybe D'arcy bringing back the baby could spur some of that. Oh, and I was somewhat surprised Ben & Kate didn't have a moment where they remembered Max's alien claims way back when. So the three of them have things they could talk about.

I couldn't figure out if child Colton was really in the past, or if the wardrobe was just intentionally (or unintentionally?) misleading as to when it was. As soon as Casey greeted Alice in the diner and was momentarily confused about the sale (like they weren't sure when it was), I knew for sure they were a time traveler. Yeah. I like Thomas, and they definitely have chemistry, but I don't see how that could work, and I would just feel bad for Elliott.

He had a second surgery/procedure, and that's what was at issue. Not the original one which was longer ago. You can choose to believe him or not about his condition (I do), but I felt it was totally appropriate for Keisha to defend Cam there for not being at the get together. And I think it would be totally inappropriate for Keisha to question or openly doubt what he says about his health (just as I think it would be totally inappropriate for them to question the veracity of Emily's accident/health, which I also take at face value). Emily herself wasn't even doubting that Cam had a surgery, just that if she had had surgery, she would have drug herself out of bed to be there, and Cam should have too (which is nonsense). And as someone else said, Clare wasn't even there!

They're definitely in Wyoming, on their way from Cascadia to Alexandria. I think they were going for Yellowstone, given the talk of the calcified walkers. They have to go back to Cascadia since that's where Jadis's dossier is and I think where Beale is to give Rick the echelon briefing, but I don't think they will then have to turn around and go back to Pennsylvania. I think this is where all the talk of the "summit" will come in. All the CRM leaders will be there. I've been thinking since the first time it came up that it had to come into play by the last episode. At one point I thought the scene of the helicopter blowing up the building was going to end up being Rick taking out the summit, but that's out now.

IMO this is not at all how it was actually written back when she initially chose Lucas, with the scene on the bridge, etc. I think that's what the new writers/showrunners are going with, but it wasn't what the previous showrunners had in mind, and certainly not what came across on screen. Totally agree with this. I definitely preferred Lucas/Elizabeth, but could have lived with it if it had been written with this in mind the whole time, but I really don't think it was. I still have the last 2 episodes from the previous season on my DVR with zero desire to watch them (and it took me a while to watch the episode before that, too), and I can't imagine I will be motivated to watch any of this new season.

Just saw this Allstate Mayhem ad with Larry Bird and I am crying.

@MaryMitch The results page isn't up yet I don't think. It will be in the list of links here, or that page will redirect, not sure. Either way, that's the link you need for now until it's available.

I loved when D'Arcy and Harry realized the cage was getting smaller and Harry's reaction was "Oh, he has the new model". He was actually impressed, lol. Also, the trap was perfectly tailored to Harry. The Grays definitely have Ben and Kate's baby. Ben saw it when he was abducted in the last episode of S2. But of course he doesn't remember.

That wasn't a ghost power, he was just sticking his head into the purse like any of the ghosts could have done to see what was inside.

Just in case anyone else is like me and wanted to know which Broncos player owned that house (since clearly they were all instructed not to name him for whatever reason), I did some Googling and it was at one time Von Miller's house, but he sold it at the end of 2022.

Yeah, Valieva is essentially still holding on to 2 points the way they went about this, which makes zero sense. I'm fine with not disqualifying the entire Russian team, and if you removed her points, moved the other ladies up, and they still had enough for the bronze, so be it. But the route they took is total nonsense.

Results are here. To get to protocols, you go to a particular segment and then go to "Judge detail scores" at the top.

I can't remember where or when, but I'm pretty sure at one point I read something about past participants saying that the producers had them sign the necessary paperwork with post its or whatever covering the other person's name before the wedding. I'm guessing it may depend on the state and what the licensing requirements are, but it's possible if there's no requirement to go to the county clerk together ahead of the wedding, they still take care of all of that before what we see, just with producers carefully facilitating so they don't see the other person's info.

Isabeau also had the edge in base value. Protocols are here.

I felt the same. I thought there were way more genuinely funny lines than other episodes. I think my favorite was the clerk's line about his goldfish being romantically in love with him. It's just so silly, but I had to rewind it more than once it was so funny to me.

I noticed the same thing on my Hoopla in the US. Since I only get 8 borrows per month (and each episode counts as one), waiting to finish another show I'm currently watching.

I also find it very uncomfortable as a viewer, regardless of how the judges feel about it (I'm sure there are some who like it or are at least neutral and others who don't). I was totally taken out of the performance when one of the ice dancers (I think it was Piper Gilles?) actually bumped one of the laptops with her extended hand. It's so distracting.

Season 2 was actually only 7 episodes, and definitely felt cut short to me.

I've never really been a big fan of Cha, but has he always had such looong set ups/takeoffs for his 3A? It's so distracting, even if there aren't all the other errors. On the shallow side, I do, however, appreciate that he has changed up his glove game. In the past he wore flesh-colored gloves that made him look like he had doll hands.

Same. I even rewatched it multiple times! From the moment she entered the room, I think her whole vibe put everyone at ease, and I think that's partly what got him emotional. I really, really hope they make it. On Michael, I do think most of the shots of the bride were re-enactments, including the conversation with Michael. But all the shots after she left of him with his friends/family felt genuine, so I think the rest was real. I kind of loved his friends, which makes me feel positively toward him, too.

I thought for sure there would be some twist related to her at the end of the episode, given the episode description ("Ben meets Hannah Carson, who may be more than she appears."). I really interpreted that to mean something beyond just this leap. So I was really disappointed that's all it was (at least as far as we know so far). I know episode descriptions aren't always written by those who actually write the show, but that felt really misleading to me. So I'm really hoping she comes up again at some point.

They had a list up on the broadcast at one point, and they were counting Phoebe Stubblefield from last year. So that makes Amber the 6th. But I believe Tara said she'd be the 4th to do so in an international competition.
