Yes, but I don't have good tea. She came into my work, and every single time she was in she had to tell us that SCOTTIE PIPPEN (never left off the PIPPEN) was in a hurry, so we needed to get her out in a hurry. The only thing is, unless she meant Jr, who was just a toddler, SCOTTIE PIPPEN was never with her, so there was nothing relevant to that other than to let us know that she was attached to him.

I used to have to deal with Larsa Pippen when Scottie was a Portland Trailblazer for a year. I can't believe that looks-wise that is the same person, but I recognize the personality. I was wondering what was wrong with Marcus for being with her. Now I get it. Marcus, mysogny isn't the flex you think it is. These women are just too exhausting.

I thought I read somewhere that she has Mama Elsa's house in an exclusive neighborhood on the water, and the HOA where she lives won't let her film there, so she rents a second house for shooting her "home" scenes that is basically a pool house?

LE reports he's been found safe, but how "safe" is he if they send him back to the land?????

This! Kelly kept going on and on about how the dress wasn't what she wanted, and I'm sure that meant it wasn't the dress that Kelly wanted, not Katie. Katie still seemed really happy about it, and just worried about the fit. I'm sure that going home with that dress to Gilvin only intensified the pressure on her that it was the "wrong" dress. Her buckets of tears at the Renee's place that seemed out of nowhere felt like it came from worrying about what kind of place she could get the dress to so mom and dad wouldn't be mad at it for having so many eye traps, and knew that the number of modesty panels required would seriously fug that dress up. Her second dress was boring (although better than a lot of fundie dresses) and her first dress was beautiful, and she looked so much better in it. ETA: Modesty panels. The death of many a fundie gown. ETA2: Katie, not Josie. Derp

Derick tried to run over a cat with a sled. No apparently about him, though. There's video.

I absolutely refused to watch this show after my husband's aunt showed me an episode at her house of "this wonderful Christian family", because growing up in a cult, I could definitely see what she couldn't and didn't want to do anything give it views, and I stay away from their social media, because I won't do anything that gives them money for clicks or keeps them relevant. I REALLY did not expect Derick to sound like that. IDK what I thought he would sound like, but that wasn't it.

I'm sure it smelled really good, but I was wondering if she said that because this is the third time (IIRC) they've had her matzo ball soup and they know what it is going to taste like.

I started yelling at my TV when Victoire picked him first. Why on earth would anyone want him on their team, much less first when he has already shown that in a team challenge he has no problems whatsoever with screwing them over, by either taking all the money or forcing his way into doing what he wants to do at the expense of everyone else? That doesn't work for restaurant wars, and he is going to be the first to throw someone under the bus, which I think he did in a way by not owning up to basically taking over the team leader/executive chef role and then saying it was a group effort.

Tua has been ruled out from playing this weekend. I'm shocked, but relieved.

I always wonder if it was because of the (totally deserved) negativity, or if it was because as a woman, she couldn't be trusted with social media on her own without her headship around. (The irony of that would just be too much.)

I feel like the answer to the question WWJD, in her mind, is point, laugh, and make sure to film it and post it for the world to see.

ALEX JENNINGS IS BACK!!!!!! As much as I think the Duke of Windsor was a reprehensible person IRL, I absolutely adore Alex Jennings in this role, and it was an utter shock and delight to see him. IDK how other people will like it, but I really enjoyed this episode.

Just ugh: https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/phillies/astros-martin-maldonado-used-illegal-bat-world-series-vs-phillies

You aren't alone in thinking that. He was voted "most overrated player" by his fellow NFL athletes several times. I may like to bring that fact up whenever I can. Is it too early to say that this is easily the best TNF game since week 1 already?

Oh, snap. I see what you did there. When did this become a cooking show? I really like the contestants, but this whole season is off. Hear! hear!!

Nope. That is complete crap. We started off cool, but it has been a consistently hot, dry summer since forever. We just had the highest low temperature recorded in the Portland area a few days ago. No way that many people would be comfortable in that this summer. Although I guess if she actually washed it with those frayed ends, there wouldn't be any sleeves left, and it would be appropriate. Maybe she just likes Weezer?

I like it. It didn't have the firepower of Felina, but that isn't what this show is. I look at Felina as Walter's "happy" ending (he died among that what he loved), El Camino as Jessie's "happy" ending (he had a LOT to deal with to get there, and an uncertain future), and this was Jimmy's happy ending (some redemption with Kim, and I'm fairly sure being BMOC in prison brought him more happiness than being a free Gene in NE.), and yet none of them "got away with it". I'm sure there are going to be MANY complaints about how boring it was, but I really felt it made sense with everything else, and was a good fit. I actually loved the Chuck flashbacks. It reminded me about the good there was in Jimmy (not to say he was a good person) and what I loved about the arc and tone of BCS in general.

I've been watching all the seasons, also, in the last few months (got Covid twice, so several weeks of being shut in my room), and spent most of that time going through all the seasons of Top Chef. Marcel is such a douchebag every time he comes on. Not that it makes it any better what they did to him, and they should have just booted a ton of them out, but I do NOT like him nearly as much as Beverly. To me season 9 was downright unwatchable, knowing what eventually Paul did, and I knew Sarah was coming. I somehow managed to totally put Heather and Lindsay out of my mind. I think Sarah stuck because she was so awful to Beverly, AND she was such a graceless winner and loser. It was always about HER when she did well and HER when she did poorly, and talk about HER predicament seemed to dominate the stew room whenever she wasn't in the middle. I totally forgot the rumor that she told Emeril to fuck off when she lost in the finale. They addressed it in the reunion, and Andy denied it, but if you watch the finale, she says something to Emeril, and Tom's face looked startled and horrified, and they half ass went along with denying it when it was brought up. I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. Beverly said at the reunion that Sarah DID apologize to her. Heather, OTOH, was asked at the reunion if she would apologize to Beverly, and she doubled down, said she wouldn't and that everything she said was true. and there was nothing to apologize for. Lindsay just kind of skated by in that. Heather didn't just ding Beverly for cooking "Asian", she said Beverly cooked Chinese, when Beverly is actually Korean. I read somewhere that Heather was actually fired from her job because of her conduct on TC, and I certainly hope so, because she was just as bad, if not worse than Sarah. They both look to have landed on their feet and are doing just fine. Season 9 was the last season they ever had a reunion, which kind of sucks, and there is a lot of speculation is was because the mean girls trio were so awful. TL:DR Seasons 2 and 9 are unwatchable unless you hit FF a lot, (or maybe just plain unwatchable) because of thug bullies and a douchebag, or mean girl bullies that really cross the line of what would be acceptable behavior today.

Maybe because Gene knew the differences in the process of bailing out someone from jail between ABQ and Omaha a little too quickly for your average person? So most people called Marion taking Gene down via the internet, but who put money on Ask Jeeves being the search engine?

Yes, he is still on the boat. Sometimes you can see him (or at least his rain gear) if you look really hard, or count how many people they show on deck. Here's People, that shouldn't be behind a wall: https://people.com/crime/deadliest-catch-edgar-hansen-sexual-abuse-teenage-girl/

Seriously horrible shit. Sexual abuse of a minor: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/deadliest-catch-co-star-edgar-hansen-pleads-guilty-to-sexually-assaulting-teen-girl/

Because Disco isn't going to show Edgar? I'm sure it is hard enough to film around him and edit to pretend he isn't on deck, and impossible if he is in the wheelhouse. I also don't see the Hansen brothers (especially Sig) being open to bringing in an outsider, even if it does mean they get to keep the camera time. Yet ANOTHER episode where "Captain" Josh gets fishing guidance from the old man. I did get a laugh that as soon as the weather looked like it was starting to pick up a bit, Josh dipped from the chair and had Casey haul. I think I made it through this episode in about 15 minutes with all the fast forwarding I did.

That is exactly what I thought last night, too. I'm glad I watched the mid season finale of Better Call Saul the night before, so I could get my bang, and that I didn't start watching TIU until about 30 minutes in, because I did some minor FFing through the episode.

Around 35-40 miles. Quite a bit of it is freeway or major highways, too. The problem is, where they live, to get there you have to drive through stretches of what I think is hands down the worst traffic in Oregon. They used to live in the Western suburbs of Portland, more north of where I live, and I live in the South East suburbs. My daughter used to have softball hitting lessons that were in the general vicinity of where they lived, but not quite as far out, and I always chose to take her early Sunday mornings, because if I took her on a weekday, it would always be at LEAST an hour both directions of driving, if I was lucky, and unless I went earlier or later in the day on the weekends, there would always be enough traffic to make it a much longer drive. I've always wanted to live on their side of town, because it has a lot more going on, but traffic always changes my mind. And it's not like we don't have our traffic issues over here.
