I would have liked to see Biles get the gold of course, but I'm happy for Andrade. She's also a senior in this sport and she deserves it! I guess inquiries happen. The other Romanian had an inquiry to see if she could bump ahead of Barbosu and didn't get there. So it's only fair that Chiles got to do as well. I wonder if inquiries like this happen often, I'm sure if somebody's close to medaling that you try anything. Sort of like the baseball manager asking for instant replay review on a call. But I felt bad for Babosu. She literally had the Romanian flag around her shoulders and she was about to walk out on the floor to celebrate. The camera cut so we didn't see her expression afterwards, but I'm sure she was devastated.

I love how all the women congratulate and root for each other. Suni looked genuinely happy for Nemour. Suni and her smile are adorable. If it were me, I'd be rooting for every single competitor of mine to fall...

Androgen insensitivitiy (Testicular feminization) is completely different than intersex/hermaphrodite. The first condition you are born XY but male organs didn't develop so you look female, you have a vagina, no uterus, and undescended testes. The latter is where you are born XX (most often) but the cl1toris is enlarged so looks almost like a male organ. I have no idea if JLC does have androgen insensitivity, but that's the rumor that I've always heard. I wouldn't be surprised if these two boxers have it. They were reportedly said to have failed chromosome testing. Boxing should do like track and field. Athletes that have disorders of sex development should be required to have their testosterone levels measured. Caster Semenya, who was found to have this condition, refused to take medication to suppress her testosterone and then wasn't allowed to compete. (But not before winning a Gold medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics.)

I'm going to guess this woman has the same condition that the actress Jamie Lee Curtis has. Testicular feminization. Genetically she is XY. But there was an abnormality and during development as a fetus, male organs did not develop so the baby ends up appearing female. She doesn't seem to be trans. Unlike the swimmer from U Penn that set records by beating other women born as females.

This guy is still living off his election fame years later. He knows he's a nerd. He's instructed to wear the white shirt and tie, I bet. Because he's a statistics guy, he's now the guy NBC turns to for everything - horse racing, politics... next he's going to be animately predicting who's going to win the next Voice competition. So is Peaty still going to compete? I bet so. This is not the 2020/21 Covid Olympics...

It's 100-115 degrees on the sand. I think the women would love to wear bikinis. This is what they do. It's beach volleyball. I don't understand the controversy regarding the women's attire, especially if they have the option of wearing more modest clothing if desired. Seems like they have that. What a spectacular setting for beach volleyball. Obviously no ocean next to Paris, so having it under the Eiffel Tour is amazing. Love hearing Misty May announcing.

Not normally a volleyball fan, but it's early and men's USA/Germany is streaming live. Close contested match and the speed with which these athletes hit the ball is amazing. But I am extremely distracted by the female announcer - who I'm sure is a former volleyball player - and her "everyday man/woman" announcing. She announces the match like anyone who doesn't watch volleyball on the regular and who doesn't know much about the sport. Examples like: "Russell with the huge swing!", "Wow, that ball is ripped!", "And the block!"... you get the idea. Seems like she needs a partner to bounce things off of rather than announcing the whole thing by herself.

Having never had the privilege of being on one of these fancy super yachts...isn't there an easy way to get onto a yacht from a dinghy? Can't you get on via the back? Or isn't there a rope ladder? How did Niccolo get on board? Shouldn't Tanya have been able to use the same means to get back into the dinghy? I know it makes for funnier tv to have her off herself by clumsily hitting her head, but that's beside the point. I thought Tanya would have taken the bag and the gun and just thrown it into the ocean. But her taking it and magically somehow killing all but two of the gays without even aiming was hilarious. Count me in the camp that Ethan and Daphne hooked up on the island. They still never explained why Ethan isn't attracted to Harper. She's beautiful and fit. What was the underlying problem? As some have posted, I'm not a fan of all these loose ends and leave it up to the audience's imagination. Would have liked for Mike White to tie up all the stories, although who knows, maybe at least one of him will be carried over to season 3.

This one isn't going to be noticeable to anyone, since this is a tv forum and I hear it on the radio. But it's so annoying that I just feel better posting it here. Shopify has an ad where they promote their services by spotlighting a small mom and pop company that uses Shopify to sell their goods. There is a woman who has a company named Satia (?) which sells cream/lotion that she created by cooking up something on her stove in her kitchen. "My daughter suffers from eck-ZEE-ma and I was unhappy with the medicines that the doctor gave us. So I did research and made my own eck-ZEE-ma lotion that has helped her tremendously." (Paraphrasing, not an exact quote.). If you're going to create a company that is completely based on treating one medical condition, don't you think you should learn how to pronounce said medical condition? I think most would agree that it's pronounced EG-zuh-muh.

I almost quit this series during last season's disaster of a storyline. Mainly because I couldn't follow it and didn't understand the timeline. Then I'd come on these boards and read all the discussion and wonder just how dumb I must be since I still don't get it, yet everyone here seems to have a crystal clear understanding of who is who, who is a bot, who is real, timeline jumps, etc. So this season rolls around and I get sucked back in. I'm excited to see them go back into a world, but now I'm reading all these comments and once again realize I have no idea what the eff is going on. I feel like I need the dumbed down version of Westworld. Why is it only me that doesn't understand this show???

Like almost everyone here, I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and have watched all the theatrical movies. Star Wars was part of my childhood, and I have memories of the original trilogy and going to the theater. But I've never watched/read Clone Wars, the animated stuff, graphic novels, books, fan forums, etc. So just for me to remember the timeline of where all these stories fit, what happened when, who knows what, etc., is difficult when we're talking remembering events from the past 45 years. So I'm not as much of a (and I say this nicely) Stars War geek than some here. So yes, while there's always going to be critique, much like there was with Mando and Boba Fett, I still enjoy anything Star Wars. Of the three Disney series releases, I was most excited about this one since it obviously brings back Obi Wan, Leia, and Vader. While there are some obvious major story flaws (Obi Wan and Leia sort of forget they hung out before when New Hope comes along?), I love that they are able to incorporate storylines/plot devices while remaining within the fixed framework of the original story. Some would say this is one of the major flaws of this series - we never were concerned for Obi Wan getting killed by Vader, nor Owen and Luke being hunted by Reva... because obviously these characters cannot die. But it's fun to see even the tiniest of details being worked in, such as Obi Wan giving the child Luke the toy spaceship that he ends up playing with in New Hope. That's fun to see. I think if there is another series, that will be fun to see even more adventures with Leia and clashes with Vader. But it would also raise more questions - why didn't they say this in the the original trilogy, that couldn't have happened because ...., etc. I feel like at this point it's almost better left alone and just let us deal with 10 years of living as a hermit. But as a fan, I still want to see it and hope it happens!

Really dumb of Reva to think that she can kill Vader by striking him with a lightsaber behind his back. This guy can feel force movements and has Spider sense. Come on now. And how can she not be dead if she had a lightsaber stuck right through her? I guess the Grand Inquisitor is alive, so who knows. Vader being able to pull down the spaceship and then just rip it open with the force was impressive. Sad there is only one episode left. Seems like a lot to wrap up in just one show.

Really liking this series, much more than the disappointing Boba Fett. I obviously have watched all of the theatrical Star Wars movies, but I have never followed any of the other books/graphic novels/animated series/etc. So I have a little trouble with timeline and knowing where this all fits into the grand scheme of things. Leia is supposed to be 10 we know, but to me, she looks and acts younger than 10. Seems small for 10. Also, if Kenobi is supposed to be training Luke in less than 10 years, how does he go from looking like maybe he's in his 40s/early 50s to a more frail white haired Alec Guiness in that time? Doesn't really fit. I know that these new series are constrained by the storylines already told decades ago, and it's quite amazing that they can interweave all of the plot points into the new movies/series. So some things we just have to let go. If Reva could Force read the charlatan's mind to figure out where Ben and Leia would be going, why didn't she just do that with Owen in the town? I guess she had no reason to suspect that he knew Obi Wan? Can't wait for Obi Wan to finally wield the blue lightsaber! That will be something indeed!

Agree with everyone. Not a very satisfying finale. I must have missed a sequence or been falling asleep. It was I think last week where we saw Voight meet Escano on a bench in a park. Escano gave him an envelope of money and then also a tracking device back. Why? What was that all about? And then Anna said this week to Escano something like "that's why they put a tracking device on you". Was Voight and Escano in cahoots? What was all that? Very very confused. When Voight picked up Anna frantically and told her to jump in the car, then he takes her to the police station, she's in a daze and she muttered something like "he's letting me be seen". So was there a dirty cop that then tipped of Escano? Was this how Escano knew Anna was working with Voight? How did she get blown? I had absolutely no clue what was happening at the end. The guy in the motel gets shot by some dude. Who was that guy? The guy blows up the drugs in the truck. Why? To cover tracks? And Escano meanwhile was just hanging out at the money house? I don't know if my brain just isn't understanding things these days or if I'm just not paying attention. Anna...sigh. We all knew this character wasn't going to make it through the season. Which is sad because now the kid is orphaned. So she wanted out of the game. She was an emotional wreck with PTSD from the gang rape. So she goes and kills and castrates Escano. She knows she's done. But when Voight tries to help her, she just wants to leave and shoots him? WTH? Why didn't she just get back in her car (or was it non-operable?) and leave? Voight wasn't going to physically take her down. What good would come out of shooting him? Hailey/Jay had no choice but to shoot her.

LOL, forgot Kim Delaney was Kelly's mom and didn't even recognize her on FaceTime. Had a massive crush on her when she was younger. Cliffhanger was an "of course" moment. Kelly is so macho, he wanted to take these guys on right away. "I'm ready to meet. Let's go. I'm ready to testify. Today." Surprised that Stella didn't express even at least a hint of concern. I'd be worried about testifying against the mob, I'd ask about protection, how long, etc. For the other police guy to just say he was in Canada or Seattle (?), how was that reassuring? The guy had just left a few hours ago and now he's already in Seattle? Huh? Just very poor that they didn't take more precautions. Agree re the glass. Really? Somebody runs into it and you fall right through? Casey had the ugly mop on his head when he first appeared. But then it was combed for the wedding. Seemed a little rushed to tie it up with Brett. A 30 second convo of "my life is here at this house." So I guess that means they're done and he's not coming back. Why did Jesse Spencer leave the show in the first place? To try something new? Agree, Casey never had that black Halligan, we would have seen it. Now all of a sudden it's some prized house heirloom that needs to be passed down to everyone. What the heck. And why doesn't he need a Halligan in Portland? They don't have fires up there? Remo Williams. Ah, I remember the VHS box with him at the Statue of Liberty. One of the first PG13 movies I watched at home as a kid during sleepovers. We thought we were so bada$$ then renting PG13 movies. If I watched it again, I'd probably think it was very campy.
