The dark haired catfish, Jason I think it was, that was like "did you really think he was real?" did have a point IJS lol. The level of delusion on this show never ceases to amaze. Marvin was a nice looking kid but come on bruh...a model who's surrounded by beautiful people is checking for you...and lives in Joplin, MO?!
I pretty much have this same reaction to almost every episode and yet I still watch.
Any Project Runway fans here think Jason looked a lot like Alex from season 15?

But I could not care less about the musical and associated shenanigans. A conniving understudy and accidentally spilling a drink on a caricature of a homophobe protestor ... not absorbing drama. As good an actor as Martin Sheen can be, I think he's the weakest link on the show. I've never bought him as being crazy in love with Sol, or even gay, because he comes off as so unnatural and awkward in the role.
Sam Waterston, who I've enjoyed in other roles (he was in The Killing Fields for Christ's sake), is almost painful to watch in this for me. Martin Sheen doesn't fare much better and it's laughable to watch the lengths the show goes to not show them being affectionate in an authentic way. I know both actors are legends but being that Fonda and Tomlin are the real draw here, they would've been better off casting actual gay actors who would be more effective.
Protesting "gay" theater...I mean come on. In La Jolla no less, not exactly the bible belt. I get that it was supposed to highlight the silliness of it all and those signs were hilarious.
All that aside, I really enjoyed this season much more than the previous two. The writing had an almost "Golden Girls" quality.

Ok so the new guy that Scheana is dating, his name is Robert Parks Valetta, and apparetly he is Amber Valetta's half brother. (Gee, wonder what Scheana sees in him?????) BUT - I think she is his brother on her mom's side and that he was born Robert Parks. So - in true famewhore fashion, he grabbed his sister's famous last name and added it? Jesus! Some people will do anything for fame. How pathetic.
Yeah that is a stretch considering that Amber Valetta isn't exactly a household name. At least Tracee Ellis-Ross is the daughter of a legend, so I get why she does it. And you just KNOW the Kardashian grandkids who have their father's names are gonna do the same thing or hyphenate.

In the parlance of Who Weekly, she was a 90s Them who is now a solid Who.
It's almost like answering "who is Luke Perry?" by saying he's the dad on Riverdale - it's not a too old or too young question, but a matter of generationally different reference points?
ITA...I'm in my mid 30's and first became aware of Amber Valetta as a model and hosting House of Style. 90s Them who is now a solid Who lol...see my previous comment about the half-brother using her name, even though it apparently worked since he's dating a reality star...
Bee-tee-dubs, loved Katie's dress but generally roll my eyes at the whole wedding as culmination of the season conceit. We don't really care that much and it damn sure didn't need 3 episodes.

It seemed more like she was playing a drag king character there, I enjoyed it even though it didn't make much sense, haha :) And her "boy name" was Ronnie, which I thought she should have gone with Stefano.
That makes more sense. Thanks :)

I have not watched Untucked yet but now I can't wait to since reading above, it seems like Gaga continues to give actual constructive, helpful advice to each queen, finishing what she started during the pageant. I must say I LOL'd when her first talking head was her boy self just before she made her work room debut, AND the the queens' reactions when they slowly realized who had actually walked in.
That TH was cute, especially since her Nick(?) from New Jersey was construction worker butch and supposed to be a drag queen ha! I was like come on Gaga, you should know better...maybe it would've been towing the line of offensiveness if she played the boy persona as an effeminate gay man.
Count me in with the underwhelmed crowd. But even underwhelming RPDR is still compelling to watch. Loving Nina though.

Yeah, I wondered if this was a thing and apparently it is
http://www.babynup.com/advice.html
It is very unclear about whether or not a "baby nup" has ever survived a court challenge. It is also not run by an attorney, but by a family law paralegal, which would make me super nervous on all accounts and may represent the unauthorized practice of law if she is drawing up legal contracts and documents. There is also a big disclaimer about how it may not hold up in court.
Also, this statement from their website "It can help establish a legally-binding custody and parenting time arrangement in the event the parents need to enforce their agreement" makes me think that they realize that a "baby nup" is not really a legally enforceable agreement, since it can only "help establish" a legally binding arrangement. Courts will ultimately decide what is in the best interest of the child, even if you had an agreement.
Ultimately, this service seems more like a scam. When people get upset, a non-legally binding piece of paper they signed is not going to stop them from going to court.
A Baby-Nup is as legally binding as a Friendship Contract.
Damn its real?! I was thinking it was another dumb Porsha moment since nup is short for nuptial meaning wedding. Instead of Baby-Nup, it seems like it should actually be Pre-Birth or something like that.

And Matt seems to come unhinged very easily. I've seen preschool aged boys act more mature than he was acting in this episode. I was truly harboring some strong secondhand embarrassment for him watching this. smdh
Yes! Like watching from between my fingers secondhand embarrassment lol. Big, buff grown ass man...

I think Mauri is wearing a weave, not a wig. I think Mauri is nervous, isn't she a former corrections officer?
During intake she said that it was a wig glued on and that's why they had to do a special pat down.

Not surprised the Marine has already adjusted so easily. The former military guys will always do well because even with the hard work and long hours, there is that part of service life where you're just kind of sitting around waiting to be told what to do next and shootin' the shit with whoever's around (Navy vet myself).
I was kinda team "girl fighting Lyric" (forgot her name). She was taking on the biggest bully, probably in an attempt to establish her badassness and she had heart lol.
Poor Jon! Aw man. That's my own personal hell right there. I wonder if they were given meals while being in lockdown for so long.
Professional weed grower...thanks lol.
In the previews of the next ep we see the inevitable female participants realizing they're both on the show. Have any of the men ever figured it out? I can't remember. Women's intuition is a mutha, can't get anything past us ha! I just hope they link up with Mauri cause she could really use a friend...po lil' Tink Tink.
The ladies clowning her wig was funny and she did have an uppity air about her that will get her nowhere fast.

I had the day off and slogged through the last half of this. Prior to this I've only watched the 1st half of Luke Cage and none if the other Marvel shows. All the terrible reviews made me curious about Daredevil and 5 minutes into the 1st episode it was clearly superior. I wonder what Rosario Dawson and the actress who plays Madame Gao really think about the difference (dip) in quality. Surely they must have noticed. We might get the real scoop a few years from now.
Overall it wasn't 0% bad <shrug>. Now off to binge Daredevil and Jessica Jones...

That scene with the weed dealer dropping lines about how he needs to "man up," "represent," etc and Pete tells him they sound like lines from the album Wilennium...aw man that was funny af and so true, so true.

Don was doing entirely too much! So much for the whole "lay low" angle lol.

Like some others who've posted, I had random people (a gardener in one case) come up and tell me what a hell of a guy my Dad was, and what he meant to them. My take is that whoever wrote this is sharing that experience of finding out your family member actually had other people who cared for him/her. It's kind of cool, actually, to get a different perspective. Plus, I thought the actor who played the mailman acted the shit out of that brief scene. Made me tear up to see him tearing up.
Didn't he though?! I was watching and hoping it would lead to more opportunities for the actor. He did his thing. Hopefully some Hollywood producer saw him and will do what Ron Howard did for Kevin. What's that saying? "There are no small parts, only small actors..."

This show was not even on my radar but I just happened to stumble across an article about this getting terrible reviews with a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score. So of course I will be watching. Maybe its so bad its good?

Although I don't buy the jailer's "we need help figuring things out," line; I do believe this show could help change the jail. My hope still is that the jailers are using the show to draw attention to what's happening and eventually get more money. Maybe when people know how it really is, they'll be more willing to pay the taxes required to bring these places up to standards that are at least humane.
I agree -- no objections, really, to any of the contestants so far!
Yeah just leave it as a social experiment and lay off the whole "head CO needs help knowing what's really going on" angle.
The big buff officer at their training I'm assumimg works for A&E or is a consultant because he's on every damn law enforcement show they have lol. He's here, he was on Rookie First Year and I think I saw him in The First 48 and taking in some folks on 24 To Life. Okay just kidding about the last two but it seems like it.
Ish is getting real. I'm sure at some point we'll see 60 Days In: Rikers or in some third world country where they're sleeping on the ground.

Tough crowd in here tonight lol. I'm in CA so I started reading a little bit before the show aired here and was expecting the worst but...I didn't think it was that bad. I thought Charlie was a sweetie and found some of the family talks refreshing, especially the conversation with her mom at the end. Granted I was flipping around and putting clothes away, but it seems like I wasn't watching the same show as everyone else.

Anyone one know what Vince Vaughn meant when he referenced Sal Mineo in relation to Kimmel hosting? I assume it was supposed to be shade of some sort, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
I assumed he was just saying he kinda looked like Sal Mineo: The later years or just referencing someone baby-faced as the opposite of Jimmy with the beard? Now I'm regretting that I replied because I'm not even sure what I'm talking about lol.

I also don't know why they spend so much time on Best Song since most songs nominated for an Oscar blow chunks.
The so-and-so inspired me clips were also a huge time suck.
But stuff like that will probably never change.
ITA. I thought JT opening the show was an improvement even though it went on for too long. Maybe a medley of the nominated songs at all at once, just have the performers come out back to back. Then again, if there's a hit song like "Let It Go" or a marquee performer like Lady Gaga, they'll want to milk that for ratings. But like you said, that stuff will probably never change.

I was doing my hair and sitting under a hood dryer while watching with closed caption and just saw somebody with a headset walking back and forth and a bunch of commotion and not until the LLL guy held up the card that said Moonlight did I realize what was happening ha!
I saw Moonlight but was alittle underwhelmed by it. It makes me wish Fruitvale could've gotten the same love a few years back since I thought it was in a much better film.
