  1. I love this show and it's over the top ways, but 1 thing bugged the living shit out of me tonight....and it was Desna's CLAWS!  Several times in the episode they showed Desna looking at her blood stained hands. Right after Arlene died and she is still in her black/white jumpsuit her nails were ruby red with silver and crystals. She is panicking about having only 24 hours to get the money...skip 2 the robbery and rest of the show and at the end Desna now has  a bright blue with different stones and they did the 2nd close up of her hands.  I know they showed the blood on the hands close up for dramatic reasons ..but all it did was make yell " you r under the gun and u stop to change your nails? How long did that take?"  

    I know it sounds snippy but it took me out of the moment. 

    Also..how do people in blood stained clothing get to just walk thru casinos, the streets, strip malls etc..without drawing attention.

    remember the first time my husband mentioned Roy G. Biv and I wondered who the hell is he, why do I care, and what was his name again?  Please, Richard of York gave battle in vain.

    I know the feeling BROOKSIDE   it gave me a chance to tell my sister about my very fun but strange teacher who taught us how  REAL OLD YARDS GROW BEST IN VOMIT.   (wonder why your richard and my yard never caught on).

    I like the new champ, even though I didn't mind Ryan. Kinda sad to see him go on his 5th game.  Before James's streak there were a lot of champs who only made it to 4 this season.

  3. It is satire. I too love the vivian rook plotline.  The way she started as a joke and all laughed at her, but she kept going and soon more were following her and were even spouting out her hateful dangerous old philosophies, before they voted for her and against their own self interests.  Saw it happen with members of my family...so it gets to me.  Luckily I adore Emma Thompson so that helps.

    Two questions, was it Matt's husband that turned Victor in?  How did Stephen's wife Celeste get a copy of his fingerprint using the same contraption edith had earlier?  Is there a james bond store or something ?

  4. I wish they would do a little more research on topics (talk about wishful thinking !), but when discussing the Little Mermaid diversity casting, they would have mentioned how last week when they were casting Ursella, there was a twitter trend pushing for Lizzo to be cast. I like Melissa McCarthy but she cant sing and dance like Lizzo.  It would have been interesting to discuss a push against a black performer for Ariel but pro for a black performer for Ursula.

    Well, we did have Meghan practicing her Ursella bitch face the whole show.

  5. I'm only as the first commercial break, but Charlie has to go!  The 2 handed constant clicking is driving me nuts. I know that sounds ridiculous..and I am only watching, what  feel sorry for Dan standing next to it.

  6. Ok...on HBO'S  Last Week Tonight, just did a quick clip entitled "can Meghan McCain just say 1 thing?". It was a compilation of the View and Meghan repeating "can I just say one thing" and then they show Sunny telling her NO and then shots of the other ladies glaring.  Will we get the same old " I thought it was funny" BS or will hubby send out mean tweets.

  7. Ok..spent a lot of time with my teen and preteen nieces and they watch a lot of freeform tv.  Totally disgusted by the constant barrage of feminine commercials. They show the tacky Schick turbo razor where the 3 women in bikinis are trimming small little "bushes" in front of them. 2 of the girls just hack at it and the 1 with the Schick shaves hers into a perfect heart . They show this commercial during almost every break.

    Then they have the summers eve, and another for a tissue talking about waxing and getting "clean down there". 

    It just seems to reinforce that women's genials are unclean and you must shave  wax and douche constantly....like men's are a bed of f#$* roses  Maybe I am being too sensitive.

  8. Ok.. I lasted 4 minutes.  Mentioned dad about wanting distraction (at least she did not bring up her #deaddaddy thing she tweeted out) to me that was just asking to wallow.  Now she is addicted to wanting laughs...she keeps trying to add her little one liners thing ( they are not funny then she laughs at herself)..

    Finally WTF derailing the conversation to discuss her fear of Ebola! Off went TV.

    Also I dont want to see it because I just KNOW she will eventually today talk about #deaddaddy and the  trending of JOhnMccain day last Friday on 45's birthday.

    I'll check back on later and listen to you brave souls who are stronger than me.

  9. I was really annoyed by the not hating Fred comment. I then watched the 2 minute Inside the S3E4 extra. The producer or director said that that line is in the book. They have all had trouble believing it but because it was in the book they decided to put it in .

    read an interview with Nicole Fosse yesterday (NYT) and it said it was the reverse. Her husband died in the crash, then Verdon moved in to help Nicole with her three young sons, and died 8 weeks later.

    Thanks MarieYotz...I did not realize I had reversed them..

    I have been sharing this show with my college age and high school nieces, and sharing the extra clips found here as well.

    The thing that really shocked them is the influence into people they know and have heard of.  I got the 3 best reactions from them with:

    1)showing paula Abdul cold hearted snake video is almost directly pulled from ATJ film.

    2)  some wonderful person on YouTube does aside by side of Gwen and 2 dancers doing Mexican Breakfast right next to Beyonce Single Ladies 
    https://youtu.be/mOAwBUfyfDg
     

    3) Bob Fosse's performance of Snake in the Grass in The Little Prince film is michael jackson.

    https://youtu.be/eUTEhEPONgc
     

    To take nothing away from these dancers but it blew their minds that there favorites did not originate things.

    Fosse had epilepsy? Why did they slip that in at the very last moment?

    They did mention it earlier. When bob had his heart attack the doctor asked what meds he was on and gwen listed meds he takes for epilepsy.

    Glad Nicole finally found stability and happiness.

    Not for long though. SHE did marry and have children with an artist. Gwen lived with them and died in October 2000.  Less than 2 months later Nicole's husband was killed in December by drunk driver at the age of 31...she never has remarried.

    I have a small criticism at the end. In Interviews I have heard Sam and others mentioning how they hoped to give more of the credit to gwen, since Bob was better known, to show how vital she was to him. I wish they would have added just a little bit more to show the 14 years that gwen went on after Bob's death. Why not mention her 3 emmy nominations (1 b4 bob death), success in Cocoon, received a SAG nomination and BAFTA nomination for best supporting actress for Marvin's room (especially after it implied she was not a good actress is she was not in a musical with that play she did). They could have listed it at the end with the writing...just a little something that stressed a little more that her life went on without Bob and she had some success on her own.

    I did love the show though. I  am looking forward to awards seasons. Women did fine work this season. As already mentioned Patricia Arquette in 2 roles, Michelle, and Joey King in the ACT. Strong work all around.

  12. I have quit watching the show but I still loyally read here. I was surprised to read no new episode today or Monday. So they need the Friday before a 3 day weekend off?  I wonder if  when they return on Tuesday if Whoopi will complain about it they way she did when they returned after new years even though they went off December 17th.

  13. Ok. I know I am going  to come off as the biggest uptight bitch...but I feel the need to say it and ask a few questions to possibly change/justify my feelings.

    My grandmother lived with us, and as a child my job was to sit in the beanbag chair and physically change the tv channels among the 3 networks and PBS that was available to our home of 1970's kentucky ( once heard a comic say before remote controls u had kids to turn it). She would tell to turn that channe with  nothing but smut and sex whenever 3's company, Soap, etc. Would come on. I found it funny however that you never Dared disturb her when DALLAS was on.

    Well now in my 50's I see the commercials for this show and they say in the ads "hook up or check out" and "time to see who sleeps with who".

    I hear my grandmas voice in my head and dont like it, but are these people really going on tv to get money to sleep with strangers.  Between the bachelor/bachelorette where they meet the parents who seem to be saying  "sure hope you fuck my daughter tonight".  

    Now I dont protest these shows, write letters and I dont watch them..I turn the channel, and I dont stop others, it its just I have a tough time talking with my niece about respect,  caring and developing a relationship before sex   ( i dont preach abstinence...just safe sex and BC and worrying about her getting hurt, dating for more than 2 hours sex)  when these folks are fucking around with strangers for money.   Is that what this show is doing? Like I said I know I sound like a bitch, just want to know if that is what this show truly is.

    I guess if I may add 1 more thing. For years 2 of my best friends who are gay and 3 family members who were gay were constantly bombarded with shit about how people did not want them to flaunt their lifestyle and how them being allowed to marry would cheapen/denigrate straight couples.......wtf do they think this shit does........those bigots were looking in the wrong place.

    Yeah I said this week that I've never smiled at someone and then had to hire a Pr firm. Bill had said 'where were the parents'? Who do you think let them wear Maga hats? They knew exactly what they were doing and knew they'd get away with it. They didn't learn anything. 

    That kid is going to pull a stunt at some bar in junior year that he got into with his fake ID or make some crack to the wrong person and is going to learn the hard way.

    One thing I really appreciated on the show is I thought Bill was going to scold people for misjudging the Covington kids and was so relieved when he called a smirk a smirk. Especially the part about wanting to see that kid actually do that in a situation he was actually trying to defuse.

    Yes to all this. I was so happy bill called him out and called him a prick. Covington Catholic High School is a private well to do school, that is about 10 miles from my home. The Covington Public HS is very diverse, yet Cov. Cath is about 98 % white. I am a retired teacher and all my teacher friends have sent that shitty entitled smug look way too many times from students. The kids were the first to post the pictures on FB to brag to their friends and get a few laughs. SMIRK BOY'S MOTHER is an attorney and when the school got shut down on Tuesday because of threats etc, that kid was brought into mommy's office and as the backlash grew, that is when the spin doctors went to town turn the boys into the victims..( the way the Today Show interview had his hair flopped over, and they put him in that Lyle and Eric Menendez sweater, sorry we are not buying it. I will blame the parents as well for going along to keep their kids from ever having to face consequences..

  15. kasich has been going around the last 2 years like he is the anti-trump reasonable compassionate concervative. I can only say he is slightly better than Trump. I too was hoping bill would give him tougher questions and call him out in things like

    1) completely defunding planned parenthhood in ohio

    2) is part of the lawsuit tha eventually lead to marriage equality (  hint..he was not on gay right side. 

    3) opposes same sex. Adoption

    4) opposed collective bargaing for police officers. And apposed benefits to family and children of fallon first responders

    5) cut funding to public education,

    He is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Cant wait till someone calls him out.

  16. I feel i am all alone on this guess..but i believe that Monster is Ceelo Green.  He has a beautiful singing voice..he hit it big then went into seclusion because of allegations.  But mostly because of the costume.  Ceelo is short and heavy.and that costume hides his girth..their is no way he could have worn a form fitting outfit because that would really give it away.  I dont believe T-Pain is as short as Ceelo and Monster was shorter than Nick Cannon.
