Charmers, Regardless of whether you suspect someone is associated with the show, we still adhere to the golden rule of PTV - Be civil. Yes, be civil to your fellow posters. You can rage all you want about the people on the show. You cannot rage against your fellow posters. If you find a poster annoying, use the ignore feature. Then you will not see their posts. That way you can focus on the show and not each other. Thanks, and happy posting. PPAL

I am having flashbacks to Flavor of Love, a show in which the "prize" was clearly not worth winning.

Folks, Prior to posting you may want to review the Mod post on language. It has been updated recently. If you feel you are okay with the language, we ask that you skip to the bottom and review the section on defamatory language. These are the standards we are using at PTV. With that said, let's see Jazz yet again show she's really not good at dating and that Noelle is the kind of friend we would all like to have.

Folks, At Primetimer we use the GLAAD media reference guide to help us when talking about transgender persons. This IS the policy here at Primetimer. (You can find more information here also.) Some key excerpts for your posting reference (please click the spoiler tag for details): Glossary of Terms - Transgender Sex: Gender Identity: Gender Expression: Sexual Orientation: Transgender (adj.): Transsexual (adj.): Trans: Cross-dresser: Transition: Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS): TRANSGENDER NAMES, PRONOUN USAGE & DESCRIPTIONS In 2015, The Washington Post updated its style guide to include the singular they to describe people who "identify as neither male nor female." It is increasingly common for people who have a nonbinary gender identity to use they/them as their pronoun. Always use a transgender person's chosen name. Many transgender people are able to obtain a legal name change from a court. However, some transgender people cannot afford a legal name change or are not yet old enough to legally change their name. They should be afforded the same respect for their chosen name as anyone else who uses a name other than their birth name (e.g., celebrities). Use the pronoun that matches the person's authentic gender. A person who identifies as a certain gender, whether or not that person has taken hormones or undergone surgery, should be referred to using the pronouns appropriate for that gender. Defamatory Language: Defamatory: "deceptive," "fooling," "pretending," "posing," "trap," or "masquerading" Gender identity is an integral part of a person's identity. Do not characterize transgender people as "deceptive," as "fooling" or "trapping" others, or as "pretending" to be, "posing" or "masquerading" as a man or a woman. Such descriptions are inaccurate, defamatory and insulting. Defamatory: "tranny," "she-male," "he/she," "it," "shim" These words dehumanize transgender people and should not be used in mainstream media. The criteria for using these derogatory terms should be the same as those applied to vulgar epithets used to target other groups. __________________________ We recognize that for many people this is a new area and the language and terminology can be confusing. Intent matters. We'll all try our best. If we make a mistake, we'll learn from it. In the forum, please keep your comments to actual show content. Feel free to PM the Mods if you have an issue.

So you're in the thread and someone's posts are annoying you. They are not egregious. They just work your last nerve. What to do? Ignore the user! Primetimer offers an ignore feature that allows you to hide content from users you select. This will not hide posts that quote the ignored user, but otherwise they are gone from your feed. How can you do this? The easy way - You see a post from the user, hover your cursor over their user name. A pop-up box will magically appear. Click on "Ignore user." Presto-change! They are out of your feed! (The back button will return you to your place in the thread.) You can also do the more formal path if you cannot find a post from them or if you want to ignore multiple users: Go to the top of your screen and click on the down arrow next to your user name. Click on "Ignored Users". Type in the annoying person's name. Select your preferences; Ignore Posts, Messages or Signature (if you leave them unchecked it will automatically ignore all three) Click "Add User" and you will see a list of users you are currently ignoring. Return to the forum and have fun. If you see something that you REALLY think needs reporting please do so. We are here to make this experience a mostly pleasant one and we hope that you can afford us the same courtesy. If you need any help using this feature PM the I am Jazz forum Mod, @PrincessPurrsALot Thanks and happy posting!

Folks, We've allowed some leeway for a more general discussion of issues regarding acceptance of transgender persons in the US. It's time to get back on track. If you have something to say that is not directly related to the show, let's keep it out of the episode threads. Please remember this is a TV forum. @17wheatthins and I are the new Mods for the I Am Jazz forum. If you have a question regarding Mod actions, please reach out to us via PM. If you are questioning why a post may have been hidden, ask us directly. Debating Mod actions in the threads is not allowed. Of course, if you have something to say that is directly related to the show, post away! Princess PurrsALot

Note to self" Always stay on Arya's good side.

Princess PurrsALot hopes it's more interesting than Part 1 . . . .

Sugary Ones, A quick reminder - If you have an issue with a post, report it. Don't engage. The Mods will review the post to see if it is inappropriate. We are all here to discuss Queen Sugar, from the lightweight topics to the much more serious issues that are raised on this show. Thanks for posting and adding to the discussion. PPAL

I want them to go to Iceland. I want them to be dropped off by helicopter on a remote glacier. And I want the helicopter to leave them there and forget where they are. After all, even with the sound of the helicopter and headphones on, the pilot would hear Vicki screeching and know that she needs to be removed from civilization. If drunk Kelly is there, that's one more person to make the pilot stabby. She would be foolish enough to play her childish "I'm not touching you" game while the pilot was trying to land. Then Tamra would flash her evil little black eyes and he would know her demon self too needed to be banished. I too immediately thought of Dr. Moon. I guess Shannon wouldn't want to check in with a gynecologist or endocrinologist when she can have good old Dr. Moon hold a magnet over her belly. I wonder how much he has been able to bilk her for to address her weight gain?

Yes, QoL is Quality of Life.

During the prayer circle, when Tamra was trying to force out some tears (and, as always, dust formed on her face), Lydia gave her a look like "Great, Tamra drama, such a freakin' surprise!" Lydia may be boring but she can spot bullshit when it is being piled high on her couch.

Charmers, We have gotten off topic for the media thread. Please take any further discussions about the individuals on the show to their character threads. There is always much to say about TRav and Kathryn. Let's move to Thomas Ravenel and Kathyrn Dennis, Will He Put a Ring On It? and post away! Thanks.

Polly was putting cuticle oil on the woman's skin. The timing seemed off for doing that step, but it's not unheard of to add extra late in the manicure.

Both popovers and Yorkshire puddings are made with a thin batter in a hot pan. However, YPs grow up the sides as e saw. Popovers should have a solid top and be airy inside. Both are delicious when done well. I was surprised about the difficulties with the Yorkshire Puddings because I have a friend who is a terrible cook but makes great Yorkshire Pudding. She does only do one big pan of it that you then cut into pieces. She makes it in the drippings from the roast. And now I'm hungry. I spaced out during the churro portion. I don't like churros or other fried dough [** ducks to dodge lobbed doughnuts **]. I've never understood the appeal.

Yes, part 1, because we can't fit all the crazy in one part! Note: The episode airs at 8:00 PM on Bravo.
