  1. Hmm. Funny how that's what this forum seems to be too about Sunny. 😋
  2. Oh, it sure is a US thing. The foreign aid the US is giving Israel all the time is the ammunition for their army and the bombs they're dropping to kill all the impoverished and homeless Gazans. Life would improve immeasurably for Gaza if the US would just quit supplying Israel with all the bombs.
  3. Oh, do tell!!!! We don't get the Afterparty here in Canada so a summary would be very much appreciated. Please and thank you.
  4. This has to be absolutely the worst season of MAFS ever. Previous iterations had the couples going to restaurants or having pot luck get togethers or various other activities but lordie, these guys do nothing but sit around and talk about how awful their relationships are. Are they really all so unlikable in real life? Because they're really miserable gits on this show. Terrible. The only one that showed some promise of being able to carry on an interesting conversation was Cameron and they deep-sixed him after the first few episodes. At least we've been spared the awfulness of Lauren and Orion the last couple of weeks but for sure they'll be brought back to bore us on DDay.
  5. The younger dog was removed some time ago. And they both were trained. Over and over again the POTUS and FLOTUS hired special experts to train the dogs and put them through all their obedience paces but they all, none of them, were able to manage these dogs no matter how much they tried. It probably has something to do with the breed of the dog having a particularly innate sense of loyalty and protecting their masters and the dogs sensed some danger to their alphas. I think the Bidens should heed what these dogs were trying to tell them and be very careful around the Secret Service.
  6. If you go back far enough, you'll see that all of them used to eat (or at least pick at) their food. The not eating is a relatively new feature. I remember Jillian in particular really getting after it. She used to wolf down her food. :D
  7. Yes he did. And yes, it was annoying back then too. It's one of the reasons Trevor managed to be successful in following an iconic host - he was a much better interviewer.
  8. I didn't watch the Bachelorette when Joey was on with Charity? Chastity? Whatever. What was his story line on that show? I take it he made it a long way - as far as home town dates? Fantasy suite? Was he as sweet on that show as he is on his own? His smile just makes me melt. Why was he not chosen in the end? I'm glad he wasn't so he could be the Bachelor this time around. I'm really enjoying the show.
  9. Eww, I couldn't stand the one who won and didn't think her creation was particularly outstanding. There were others that I thought were much better. Hopefully they all - judges and host and potters - got over all their nerves in this first episode and the next ones will be more interesting.
  10. Can you give us a summary of what was said? Some of us don't get the After Party show so all the posts about what was said or done are meaningless to us. Much appreciated.

    Here's a quick peak of him with his daddy's racquet. It's almost as big as he is and he's got it in his left hand so for now I guess he's ambidextrous. 🤩

    Too bad for Rafa and Mery - they've tried so hard to protect baby Rafa from the paparazzi and other picture takers but they've been caught out in Australia. With Junior walking now it's that much harder to keep him in a corner. Anyway, he's cute as a button and looks like he's going to be a go-getter like his mama and papa. 😍 p.s. That's Mery's mother in a couple of those pictures. So nice that she's able to travel to Australia to help out with a toddler.
  13. I'm sure the producers have the data they need to decide who should get the show. There are probably many people like me who would never watch the show again if Dulce or Leguizamo or Ronnie were the host. I used to change the channel if they were on with Trevor and I sure wouldn't watch an hour of them.

    Good for Jannik Sinner. He beat Djerk twice in one day, first in singles and then in doubles, to knock Serbia out of the Davis Cup. I'm not impressed with how the Davis Cup is run now but apparently Djerk wanted to win it very badly so yay for Jannik!! Italy will play Australia for the championship. Djerk played (and beat) Cam Norrie a couple of days ago and apparently threw a hissy fit in the post match on court interview when the Great Britain fans pounded on their drums furiously to drown out what Djerk was saying and he was very unhappy about it. Awww. Poor attention seeking dweeb. Turns out, before that match the doping officials came looking for Djerk to do an unannounced test - both blood and urine - and he got into a big fooferah with them - much yelling and stomping of feet - and said he needed an hour and a half to prepare for the match. So the doping officials wouldn't let him out of their sight from the time of their notification to him that they wanted to do the test until after the match when he finally provided the samples. Hah!! Good for them. I don't trust Djerk for a minute with all his weird and secretive preparations and processes before matches so I'm glad to hear WADA is doing some testing.
  15. Well, these three finalists are the three that I was least impressed with from night one. Not particularly interested in watching the rest of the show. Theresa in particular is homely and weird - I can't imagine what he sees in her.
  16. Thanks for this summary. We don't get the After Show in Canada so it really helps to know what people are talking about. Anything interesting about the girls?

    Nobody's watching any tennis? I know I'm not. Rafa's finally back on the practice court doing some light training so hopefully he'll be ready to go and I'll have some tennis to watch in January. 😉
  18. True, but who gets to make the decision as to whether the job is being done adequately? There can be widely diverging ideas on that.

    A young man on my son's university hockey team suffered heat stroke during a 10k training run and nearly died from it. He was in the hospital for months and months and needed both a liver and a kidney transplant, so I know how dangerous these situations can be. I get so scared when I see these players being forced to play in unsafe conditions and shudder to think tennis won't do anything about the conditions until one of theirs suffers a serious medical emergency.

    Berettini rolled his ankle and had to be carted off in a wheelchair. I hope they're testing the players who are sick for covid. There's a strain of it hitting New York hard right now.
  21. What a wonderful, ironic coup to have Hilary Clinton on the night Trump is being indicted for the fourth time. Seemed perfectly apropos except for being so sad to think we could have had that brilliant woman as our president, for EIGHT years, instead of the bloated blob who is threatening the country's democracy. I so enjoyed hearing two brilliant women talking with each other.

    MSNBC

    You missed it. It was on before Lawrence O'Donnell. A couple of hours earlier near the end of Chris Hayes show they covered the vote in Ohio. I didn't watch the next hour with Alex Wagner so I don't know how much time was spent on it but she mentioned in her lead-in that she would be talking about it too.

    MSNBC

    Rachel's far and away the most popular host that MSNBC has ever had. She assumes her audience is smart and can handle intelligent discussion and sure enough, millions tune in to watch her. I thought it was very helpful to have her read the indictment.
  24. Criss-cross is an 'unfavorable' term now??? Why and since when?
  25. Who is Hugo's relative? Can you post a spoiler about it. Is it someone who the other inmates are going to guess quickly so he'll be gone? I took an instant dislike to him and watching for an hour didn't improve my impression of him so I'm hoping he's a quick boot.
