The reason that this program doesn't make sense in light of what we now know regarding the animosity between Molly and Kelly is that it was filmed in January 2023. The assault charges filed by Molly's daughter Olivia (age 22) against Kelly for an incident that occurred at Molly's store in November 2022 did not occur until February 2023. There have been so many legal issues since then that are too complicated to go into here. However, Molly and her daughter have filed new charges against Kelly this year which have yet to be resolved. This show is so phoney that it is difficult to watch. I really dislike everyone on this program, but Jovi and Yara may be the only couple who truly love each other and have a chance of working through their relationship if they are truly honest with each other.

When Emily was on WWHL she admitted that she took Ozempic for 5-6 weeks to jump start her weight loss, had liposuction on her arms, completely changed her diet and is now going to the gym seven days a week. If her physician told her she needed to lose weight/change diet/exercise more for medical reasons, such as high cholesterol, bad A1C number, etc. I would be in her corner. However, I believe she really feels pressure to achieve the"perfect" body due to her circle of friends and probably Shane. I agree with some of the prior posts that Emily and Shane's marriage will not survive, especially if she finally gains enough self-esteem to no longer put up with his snarky comments and his undermining her parenting decisions. She is a beautiful, intelligent woman and shouldn't feel forced to change herself based on the unrealistic body image that her friends are attempting to achieve.

I don't understand why Julio has been lying to his mother for so long about his relationship with Kristen, especially when he was in the Netherlands for several months last year and pretended it was for business. He waits until Kristen shows up in person and then drops the bomb on his family. That was really unfair to both Kristen and his mother. If I were Kristen, I would rethink a long-term relationship with a guy who is over 30, living with his mother, and has not explored finding a job abroad yet. He seems very self-centered and immature. The reason I am commenting on this situation is that my son (age 30) who has been already living on his own in another state for 5 years is currently in a romantic relationship with a woman from the Netherlands and want to move there in the near future. However, he will not move until he finds a job there. His company has relationships with one or two sister companies in Germany and the Netherlands so he plans to pursue those avenues. I tried to advise him to go there first for a month to check out the area in person rather than just moving there permanently, but I know that the more negative I am about his plans the greater likelihood there is that our relationship will suffer. So, we'll see what happens. By the way, they already met in person a few months ago when she and her family were here for a wedding so it hasn't been 100% online dating. I did tell him that you never really know a person until you live with him/her, so I wish them the best of luck and I am staying out of it.

The controlling behavior by Trent and especially Amber is so obnoxious and cringeworthy, especially concerning the romantic relationships of their children. When Alex stated to Emma that the first people he would tell when he finally kissed his girlfriend are HIS PARENTS, I couldn't believe it. Why would they need to know this fact and why would he feel obligated to tell them his most private moments??? Also, the way that Trent was grilling Brice regarding his living situation with Liz was over the top. Now Trent and Amber have decided that Jonah should live with his girlfriend, although they were completely against this relationship for the past few seasons. They have to stop being helicopter parents and let the kids succeed/fail on their own. It's the only way they are going to learn any life lessons.

Amanda stated that her husband passed away last year when he was 45 years old, which meant that he was 14 years older and they had been together for 8 years. Therefore, she married at 23 and was widowed at age 31. Her husband Jason was her only serious relationship and I'm guessing that she relied on him financially, emotionally, etc. and couldn't cope well when he died so suddenly. The problem is that her Romanian boyfriend is only 26 and lacks the maturity and stability than Amanda needs right now. I understand her desire to escape from the harsh reality of her current life, but she is investing way too much time and effort in a playboy who has career ambitions in the entertainment world. The best advice I could give her is to spend time and money pursuing education/training in a field that would provide her family with a decent income in the coming years. She could probably meet some great guys through bereavement groups or other activities where she could really get to know the person as a friend and then slowly progress to a dating relationship.

Matt posted on Twitter yesterday that his strategy for the semifinals was to assume that James would earn 9 points of the maximum 16 points available and that if he picked up second place finishes he would advance into the finals because there were only 7 points remaining to split among himself, Andrew and Mattea. Unfortunately, Matt came in last place in the first two games so his back is against the wall right now. He needs to win the game today between himself, Andrew and Mattea.

The first Masters game tonight is James/Andrew/Matt. Assuming James wins, is the next game Andrew/Matt/Mattea which would give someone other than James a chance to gain 3 points? It would be important for someone to place second to James in Game 1 and then win in Game 2 because the chances of anyone but James winning Games 3 or 4 are slim. I believe it will be extremely close in terms of total points for second, third, and fourth and feel sorry the person eliminated.

I suspect James wants a rematch against Ken Jennings, but the current game rules stipulate that once a contestant hosts Jeopardy the person cannot return to regular game play. However, it seems like producer Michael Davies might be willing to change that rule in pursuit of potentially high ratings. What do you think of this possibility?

I think Reba McEntire was available for several reasons. First, her primetime ABC show called Big Sky was just cancelled. Second, she and in November 2022 that she had to cancel her upcoming concert tour scheduled for this year due to vocal chord problems. She needed vocal rest (a common occurrence among singers who work constantly) but I haven't found any information on when/if her tour is set to resume anytime this year. Third, The Voice needed a coach specializing in country music to take up the mantel from Blake. The popularity of country music is evident due to the number of singers who have either won The Voice or finished in the top five. I believe that Grace from team Blake will probably win this year's contest, although I don't know how much of the audience vote reflects admiration for Blake and wanting him to be victorious in his final season.

I am rooting for Sam and Amy, but right now Sam is in last place and Amy is second to last in total points. Therefore, Andrew and Mattea have the best chances of making it to the semi-finals at the current time. James is just killing it, especially with the number of correct responses (he has 103 correct compared to Andrew at 79 correct and Mattea at 63 correct !!) I don't know what is happening with Matt. He doesn't seem as quick and knowledgeable as he did in prior tournaments. I hope the semi-finals and finals are exciting because I really don't want this tournament to become a James H. landslide victory.

Amber Johnston is NOT a licensed psychologist. There is another person named Dr. Amber Johnston who graduated with a doctorate from George Washington University whose photograph can be found on various websites; this person is definitely not the Amber on tv. Amber from Georgia is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in social work. She originally wanted to obtain an education degree but changed her mind in 2022.

Tony didn't speak to his mother for 20 years and now only visits her once a year??? Red Flag #1. His friends claim he has been alone for 20 years -- was he ever married or had children? He seems secretive about his past. Red Flag #2. Is there a correlation between his rift with mom and his single status? Debbie seems to be overlooking all the red flags in this relationship because of her desperation for a "relationship" that is actually based primarily on sex. I feel that she empathizes with Tony's estrangement from his mother because it makes her feel better about her tumultuous relationship with Colt. I wonder if we are all being played by TLC just to give Debbie an interesting story line that will attract viewers to this program.

I watched the Southern Charm show that aired the hour before the new episode last night. There was a "never have I ever" game among the men and Shep admitted to having been arrested at least TEN TIMES. He was laughing about it as if it were a badge of honor. What a total loser.

Yes, that annoying person was the one and only Steve Kornacki, an MSNBC regular and political reporter who was used incessantly to analyze all of the numbers during the 2020 Presidential election. I have no idea why NBC dragged him out to cover the Olympics, but it indicates how much time the network had to fill. I have not been able to watch this horrible coverage either on the Today show or the prime time hours. Every day I simply check on my PC the daily results and then decide whether or not I want to view the specific sport. However, I am looking forward to seeing how NBC handles the new figure skating doping scandal.

I call BS on several of the new storylines for the upcoming season. How was Jonah able to buy a house totally on his own when the majority of his annual income is commission and he has not been employed full-time for any length of time? Plus, my next door neighbor runs the used car sales dept. of a major dealership in northern NJ and there is NO INVENTORY to sell. They are begging people to trade in their vehicles that are 3-5 years old and giving them huge incentives like a ten-year warranty on new cars, etc. There is approximately a six-month wait if you want to purchase a brand new car in this area. For some reason, new Subarus are more readily available but there is still a waiting time of several months. Therefore, Jonah and Trent might be making a higher commission on each sale but the total volume of cars sold this year is substantially lower than usual.

The original article regarding "advanced negotiations" with Mike Richards was published in Variety on 08/04/21, but I noticed that the following day the same source revealed the nature of the past sexual discrimination lawsuits against Richards that could derail his chances of acquiring the Jeopardy hosting gig.

I just read online that Mike Richards in in negotiations to become the permanent host of Jeopardy. Of course, official sources are denying this report but the temporary hosting gigs are ending soon and it is time to make the big decision. I don't dislike Richards, but many people favor an "outsider" rather than promoting from within the Jeopardy organization.

I don't know the manager kept a straight face during Julia's stripper routine. However, remaining politically correct he basically passed the buck by just telling her she had to pass certain fitness certifications and that way he was off the hook telling her the inappropriateness of her dancing moves for a fitness club environment. Julia will never be able to pass the AFAA certification because her lack of English skills will make it virtually impossible to complete the textbook chapters needed to take the written exam. As a former fitness instructor, I found her ignorance and arrogance disgusting. Does she truly believe that she is a trained dancer?? She is a joke.

I did some research regarding the California "baby bar" exam. The most recent statistics I could find stated that the pass rate for the first-time testers was about 22%. However, the statistics for second-time takers is more dismal (less than 15%). The test only covers three major areas: contracts; criminal law; and torts. The test taker must score 560 out of 800 possible points or 70% correct answers. The test is divided equally into two sections. There are 100 multiple choice questions (3 hours allotted time) and four essays (an hour per essay for a total allotted time of 4 hours). No specific knowledge of California law is necessary. Supposedly the structure of one's essay is extremely important. Usually a case study is given and the test taker needs to explain each rule of law, how it would be applied in this specific case, and the conclusion. I believe Kim discounted the value of the law school curriculum where you can measure yourself against fellow students and realize how much knowledge is required to pass a given course. She may have studied for months for this exam, but was her knowledge superficial and unable to be applied to actual case studies? I am not surprised at this outcome, since she has never any interest in academics before now.

I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW THE DETAILS REGARDING ANYONE'S BODILY FLUIDS!!!! I never thought I would say this, but Scott looks more mature and refined than Kourtney's new love Travis. I guess Kourtney is experiencing a midlife crisis where she needs male validation of her sexiness and desirability because her parents never instilled in her any sense of self-worth beyond her physical appearance. Gee Kris, what a role model you have been to your daughters showing them what values are truly important in finding a fulfilling life.

When I needed to get a COVID-19 test last December, it was almost impossible to find a location. At CITY MD the line for COVID tests started outside at 6am and the wait was so long that many people stayed in the queue for most of the day. I finally found a pharmacy in northern NJ where I could get a test with results in 10 minutes, but it demanded money upfront and it was up to me to get reimbursed by my insurance company. The cost was $128 and my insurance only reimbursed me $45. I was suffering so much from COVID-type symptoms that I had to know right away. However,my son lives in Philadelphia and was able to obtain a nasal swab test in February 2021 with one day's notice and was not charged. I think the facility went through his medical insurance because they also did a COVID blood test since he had one positive and one negative nasal swab test the same day. There can be false negatives, which was the case with my son.

I am so disgusted with NBC, MSNBC and CNBC for enabling Trump to air his town hall directly opposite Biden's town hall that was scheduled a week ago due to Trump's cancellation of the virtual debate. NBC political director Chuck Todd is facing strong criticism for this move. I read that last night NBC officials contacted ABC requesting that ABC change their program time!! Needless to say, ABC refused to change thei Biden town hall. To top it off, Trump is now claiming that he is being "set up" by NBC and will be treated unfairly by Savannah Guthrie. He always plays the victim. Why isn't he doing a town hall on FOX??

It is "Gimme Shelter" which is one of the group's best songs, in my opinion.

OMG. Tiffany just gave birth to a baby girl in the U.S. with her mother at her side, Ronald and Ria were watching on video from South Africa. No mention of them being married or why Tiffany was not with Ronald in South Africa. What a mess!!

Does anyone else remember when Chris and Amy were beginning to date and Chris admitted that he had been previously living with a woman for many years (maybe eight or nine years) but had never been married? Although Chris and Amy have been seeing each other for almost three years, maybe this time frame is not long enough for him to even consider a long-term commitment with Amy. The fact that several women have cheated on him in the past is more of an indication that he chose the wrong people rather than a reason to avoid marriage. My brother has been divorced three times and several of my cousins had multiple marriages, but these family matters did not negatively influence my decision to marry my husband. Is Chris just set in his ways and the type of person who only shares so much of himself with his partner and is emotionally withdrawn? Amy mentioned several times how difficult it was for him to be spontaneous with affection and to talk about their relationship.
