  1. I'm hearing-impaired and miss the recaps.... The podcast cuts me out completely. Please consider going back to the written article?
  2. I'll bet the poor little doggie in heaven is actually relieved to get away from its owner and her unpleasant, sour, pouting mouth. Yuck.
  3. I couldn't get over how much the primary plaintiff in the DJ case today looked like Grumpy Cat. And his partner with the weird, fake looking beard looked like that old children's toy with the iron shavings hair that you move around with a magnet!
  4. Thank you, sleekandchic. It's very kind of you to reply, and your observations are astute. It didn't occur to me that he was smiling out of awkwardness. You are probably right. And that's probably why JJ didn't eviscerate him--she's probably seen that reaction a lot too. Thanks. I do feel better now. :)
  5. I may have to quit watching this show..... It's not good for my blood pressure! I have rarely felt as much repulsion towards another human being as I did toward the pit bull owner on today's repeat. His dog snapped its chain and savaged the neighbor's lapdog, and this sack of shit couldn't suppress his ugly little smiles of pure enjoyment at the descriptions of the little dog's injuries and suffering. He was thrilled--thrilled at being on TV and thrilled at the attention, but mostly thrilled by the smackdown his tough dog had inflicted on the little one. (Except, of course, for the fact that it wasn't HIS dog who did it. No, of course not.) And Judy didn't say much to him except "It's not funny," and "There's that smile again." I was kind of disappointed in her, but I think she may have been as shocked as everyone else at his affect. The case left me furious and almost depressed... Can there be any hope for the human race with people like that walking around?
  6. YES!! I couldn't figure out who he was reminding me of. And there's no way his eyes are real. I just CANNOT with that poor child with the buck teeth. It causes me physical pain to look at her. I'm funny about teeth; I also don't think huge gaps are cute or sexy--to me they make a person look ignorant and poor. It was a sorry day for me when that Jagger chick became a model and now i have to be constantly seeing her grotesque mouthful of nasty toofs in ads. I know I'm being shallow and judgmental, and probably other bad things, but I can't help it. Teeth have a function, and when they're messed up, they don't work right--it's not just a "different look" that I need to get used to seeing, but a deformity that needs to be corrected. Please, Tyra, no more dental monstrosities.
  7. I've been watching on Hulu and this episode isn't available. Nor is it available on the MTV site, although all the other episodes are..... Does anyone know why? I wanted to see Nev throw the phone, dammit!
  8. Is anyone else who uses the closed-captioning not getting it lately? The last 3 episodes on my local ABC affiliate weren't closed-captioned. The commercials and station promos were, so it wasn't weather or sunspots interfering or anything. I'm hearing-impaired and can't catch the dialogue without closed-captioning.... :(
  9. Chiming in on the teeth issue--I'm an old lady of 55 and my teeth are darker than I'd like, but the sad fact is that when you get older and the inner part of your teeth darken, there's nothing you can do. No treatments can reach it. That's why you see older people with yellow or dark teeth. I kind of wish the whole teeth-bleaching phenomena hadn't even happened; so many people walking around with blindingly white teeth makes what used to be considered "normal" look so much worse.... 20 years ago, no one would have even noticed Joey's teeth. /oldpersonrant
  10. Where is the closed-captioning for this episode? I'm hearing-impaired, and can't make out speech. The group round is my favorite but it will be spoiled for me because I can't make out what anyone's saying. It's always such a disappointment when an episode of a TV show is randomly, inexplicably not closed-captioned. Why do they do this????
  11. I must need new ears because every time I wince through an audition, the judges then rave like it's the second coming. House of the Rising Sun girl? WTF was THAT??? And on a shallow note, Keith is just about the hottest thing ever now that Kate's no longer doing his hair. Lucky girl, Nicole! Most Importantly: That you, thank you, thank you to whoever's keeping the camera off JLo and on the performers, where it belongs. Let's hope this continues throughout the season.
  12. I meant that they are beyond the kind of help that a friend or family member can offer and beyond getting any comfort from the awareness that people love and care about them. These human connections are lost to the overwhelming pain, and cease to have any meaning. I didn't mean that they're past medical help or intervention--but these aren't always sought in time, and even if sought, don't always work. I suppose there is a chance Nigel meant it that way, but that's not the impression I got... I felt he was jumping on the bandwagon of blaming the suicide victims for being weak and selfish. It's frightening to think that life can actually get that bad for someone, and many people choose to see it as a result of weakness rather than facing the possibility that it can happen--maybe even to them or to someone they love.
  13. I have absolutely, totally, completely had it with Nigel. From now on I will mute the TV when he starts talking. The pompous, affected, self-congratulatory speeches and quotes were bad enough, but last night when he started pontificating about suicide, I almost had a stroke from rage. After the tragic loss of Robin Williams, people are finally starting to talk about and accept the connection between serious depression and suicide, and to understand that it has nothing to do with whether or not the person feels there's "someone there" or not. Suicidal people are in a hell that is far, far beyond the reach of human connection. And he starts prattling on about how stupid and selfish people who commit suicide are, because "there's always someone there." Such profound, willful ignorance and arrogance. I loathe him now.
  14. Kashia needs to watch how she works her mouth, because one day she's going to pull that truly odious little smirk on the wrong person. And the young boy wasn't even working with dough; it wasn't stretching at all. He was just spinning a tortilla around... just a juggling trick. Joy for the win!
