I couldn't get past her eating MULTIPLE bites of that salmon, caper cinnamon bagel concoction. What was that?! I expect her to sample things during the cooking segments but that was just so random, bringing out a huge bagel sandwich to chomp on during Hot Topics. And that orange/pink combination she was wearing was no bueno.

Yes! And I was a little disturbed by the mixed message she gave about gerrymandering. So she spends all this time insisting that we get out and vote (I don't disagree with that!) but in the next breath, she talks about how GOP strategists have rigged the districts to get them the Red results they desire. If anyone ever questioned whether their one vote makes a difference, that segment would leave me with more questions than answers. Does my vote really count? Also, my mom lives in a ward that closed her polling station of 50 years for the same B.S. reason they tried in Georgia--supposedly the polling station wasn't compliant with handicap access. But they were never given the option to vote on the change---the station was changed and the neighborhood did NOT recieve adequate notice of the new location. The voter supression tactics are disgusting.

W. The Actual. F.?!

Why was a tiger immediately the subject matter for both teams in the Flash Challenge? When girlfriend asked her canvas if she was ready to win Tattoo of the Day, I knew she was in trouble. That Oba tat was terrible. Just terrible. I can't believe he escaped elimination. I also agree that the lion tattoo was the most impressive.

As a rule, I usually hate car ads, but this one won me over:

Was it any good? I love a good action movie but the ads seemed a little too John Wicky to me. I haven't seen the ad yet, but my mom warned me that it's out there. Months ago, I complained to her that I heard a radio ad for toilet paper talking about having "a shiny hiney." She didn't believe me until she recently saw a TV ad where a baby bear was talking about having a "clean hiney." Really? This is what we've come to?

Chad! I squealed. Then I squealed even louder at Lawrence. This season got interesting in a hurry. Kelli = MVP. Issa and Nanceford are SO cute together. They kinda finish each others....sandwiches. And that Ferris Wheel hook-up? HOT!

Oh, Naomi. Poor baby looks so embarrassed. Not the emotion she should be living at a moment like this. I want her dad to stop wandering the courts and come give her a hug! ETA: $3.8M!! Hootie hooooo!

Right?! And called out Uncle Tony on his coaching too. I love it. ETA: Keep it classy, NY.

She's great isn't she? One set up and a break in the second. I like Keys but think an Osaka - Williams final could be very interesting. She really is the cutest. And she played a flawless match against Keys. I hope she doesn't get overwhelmed by the moment against Serena. If she plays well and keeps her nerves in check, Serena will have her hands full. Ima fight you!

Oh, I'm not mad at him. I just don't find him even the least bit attractive and certainly not worth her putting up with his open marriage mess. Personally, I was partial to Pastor's Body from Chicago.

I thought I couldn't hate an ad more than that stupid Aussie Open, "Let me watch the sea-rain falling..." one that they've run to death for the past 2 years. I would be wrong.

THIS! My BFF went to war with her nextdoor neighbor because she could hear scratching and sqeaking in her walls and ceiling every night and the neighbor (who was the end house in the row) kept playing dumb like she didn't hear anything. Meanwhile, my mom sees a squirrel climb up said neighbor's drainpipe with a plastic Target bag and squeeze past the drainpipe into the roof space---little critter was making his nest extra comfy! I fell out when I saw that on Sunday---art imitating my girl's life. I don't mind Daniel but I REALLY hope we're done with Dro.

Easily the best episode this season. Molly bringing Issa "a plant you can't kill" had me cackling. Because Issa with her, "Is that a challenge?" is me ALL DAY. I killed "Lucky Bamboo" once after being told it was damn near indestructable. And Molly broke her glasses to get her back for the vase. I love tacos but waiting an hour for my order? No sir. Not gonna happen. I don't care if the swap meet is nearby. That lil boy at the end! "Oooooh..what y'all doing? Eating tacos and kissing?!" LOVE!

They keep trying to make her happen, don't they? She barely squeaked by 40 yr old Patty Schnyder the other night so I hope she's still a mess tonight. I still can't believe this happened. If that petulant asshole wanted to throw his match, that's on him. And John McEnroe had the nerve to defend the ump! He knows full well he would've stroked out if an ump had done the same for one of his opponents. I hope Fed runs Kyrgios off the court in straight sets. And I see that other headcase Monfils just retired. Ridiculous. ETA: So I didn't realize Monfils "claimed" a wrist injury. My use of quotes is deliberate as I'm skeptical.

Speaking of tennis wardrobes: Venus is killing me with this spagehtti strapped top that she's wearing again. She had it on the other day and changed it after she lost the 2nd set and I was hoping we'd seen the last of it. But nope, here it is again today. There's no support in it---no flattering at all.

I'm not sure why I'm not really feeling this season so far. I find myself multitasking while it's on--it held my full attention in previous seasons. Molly got ony last nerve with that, “At my old firm...". Uhhhh...if it was so great there, why did you leave? This!! When they're being especially "quippy," I really have to concentrate on the dialog. Issa & Molly's Black Valley Girl accents are a lil' much too. Hoping the season picks up.

Wow. Plaintiff in the Moving case today was a nasty piece of work. I lost count of how many times she snapped, "First of all..." at JJ and I'm really surprised her case wasn't just thrown out for her bad attitude. And I don't believe all those things were damaged in the move. Methinks she went about damaging items after they wouldn't kow tow to her. They moved her from 9am to 11pm AND they moved her 50 miles?? Bish got off cheaply.

All of this! That mother was so sweet and you could tell how much she loves her son and to have a smirking, scamming POS exploit his innocence was just too much to handle. I wanted the foster father to say something but I'm sure he was mortified too. I liked JJ's decision to find both men equally at fault in the left turn mishap. I have the exact same kind of set up near here where the straightahead traffic backs up for days and the median doesn't start a turn lane until a few feet before the light. People always drive that median up to the turn lane and although it's techincally illegal, it's understandable. I'm glad neither of those guys was hurt. It looked like a really nasty crash.

Kelli made this ep. "Radio Shack? They ain't even open anymore. You buy your groceries from Rite Aid?" But so far, I'm underwhelmed with the first two episodes. I hope it picks up.

OK, I'm ridiculously concerned about Christina Martinez who owns that restaurant in South Philly. I think she seriously underestimates the danger she faces with speaking on camera about being undocumented.

Of course it's a legit reason but it seems like a bit of belated excuse-making. I get annoyed with her because she never admits she's just outplayed. Or this, as Ohwell so eloquently stated.

Lord, give me strength. Apparently now Serena's story is that her Konta ass-whooping was a direct result of hearing that her sister's murderer had been paroled just moments before she took to the court. Serena, stop it. You're gonna make me root for an early US Open exit.

Nice! Was it a catch or did you have to fight for it amongst the peanutshells and spilled beer?

RE: Reliever entry music- First time I'm at Phils game when Jonathan Papelbon is brought in from the bullpen and Meek Mil's Bout That Life starts blaring. I'm like, "Whaaaa?! Meek Mil?!" Turns out, he liked that song because it has a Ric Flair intro but it still never fails to crack me up thinking about it.
