[All Past Seasons of the Late Lamented Show]

Looking for some music help from Season9, Episode 3 (I think)  Breelan is a rookie and I'm pretty sure it's the first time they introduce Melissa Rycroft as a mentor.  About midway through the episode the candidates are doing kicks across the floor and K&J make  comments about Mary's long legs and Alexandra's low kicks.  While they are doing this, an instrumental song is playing (on the Pluto version). It's a much "lazier" tune than usual and has no lyrics. 

It's been driving me crazy, so if anyone knows the name of it, I would love to know!

Rachel's dad sure had a tight grip on her mom.  Every time the camera showed them her dad was squeezing her tighter.  Rachel's mom looked uncomfortable at times with how she had to sit.

I watch a series on YouTube where a panel of body language experts show clips and give their comments.  One thing they have repeatedly covered is examples of men with their arms around women, and they point out how to tell when the grip is more about "comtainment" (to prevent her speaking or leaving) than protection or affection.  Rachel's dad's grip on his wife looked like textbook containment to me.

Rachel is awful. Her hate-glare at Tino was so intense. The man she said she loved and wanted to marry.

He apologized, she didn't like the words he used, so she belittled him in a condescending tone.  

Sorry, I know everyone has moved on, I'm watching it on a delay.  I don't like the way the show treated Tino. He screwed up, he apologized,  he's treated like the worst guy in the world. And the audience was prepped to go apeshit when Aven came on. Cruel that he took off with Rachel while Tino was still there.

Dear Rachel, when you relentlessly punish a man him for telling you the truth, he'll never make that mistake again.  Your choices are to forgive or leave.  You don't just stay around and kick a dead horse.

If anyone out there has any ability to contact Trace Adkins, please tell him to listen to an audiobook series staring with "Deer Run Trail" by David R. Lewis.  They are old time westerns and Trace absolutely ought to play thre character of US Marshall Marion Daniels.  (And Dwight Yoakam should be Arkansas Bill Cole, who shows up later in the series).

Also who notifies their daughter that they need help with their assisted suicide with a throw away comment?  And why would the first thought of Gigi when she sees her sister standing over her mother with the pills be 'What did you do?'  Pills aren't a smoking gun.  Just everything felt badly executed and stale. 

Any self-respecting butt-kicking Queen of Country Music would handle her own suicide.  Why would she need her daughter to hand her the pills she obviously had full access to anyway?  I kept thinking big mama was testing the daughter to see if she would actually help bump her off, and would laugh it off at the last moment.  But apparently it was just another clunky, unrealistic scene to allow for a blackmail/suspicion story line between the sisters as they try to one up one another in show business.  I'll give it another couple of episodes, but I hope it gets more sensible.

I don't remember Jason Aldean being a judge on AI, do you?  Of course, I haven't watched since the current panel's first season, so there's that.

I don't think he was ever a judge on the show.  But he did make an appearance singing a duet with Kelly Clarkson on the 10th anniversary season of Idol.  Their duet of a song called "Don't You Wanna Stay" went to number 1 on the Billboard charts.

OK, last time I post about Nate here, I promise😁....just saw that he was photographed holding hands while grocery shopping with yet another girl over this past weekend. Will he still end up as bach and claim this latest girl was another fwb or 'subpar' party girl? Or is he now in a new relationship and we can hope for someone else as the next bach?

It could potentially be a sister or relative, but it's hard to give him the benefit of the doubt.  They tried so hard to redeem him during the Men Tell All.  He has obviously been coached and rehearsed.  I understand his desire not to introduce his daughter to everyone he dates.  But that isn't the question.  The question is why he failed to even *mention* he had a daughter to 1 of the women he was 2-timing over a period of approximately 18 months.  And why does he feels it's ok to treat other people's daughters the way he treated those 2 women?  And why would ABC even consider giving him 20-30 new victims to treat that way if they make him the next Bach.

Cool, a free cruise! There is a lady in the audience wearing an orange dress who looks like Bob Hope wearing a dark long hair wig.

According to Reality Steve, the free cruise has to be take by the end of 2022 and is a transatlantic cruise, meaning the ship is repositioning between Europe and the US.  You have to either travel Miami-to-Barcelona or vice versa at the very end of the cruising season.  The ports where the ship docks are considered more refueling and reprovisioning stops as opposed to top tourist destinations.  Not quite the sunny, port-filled cruise the audience members might be imagining!

As if she would ever call him her furbaby.  That would mean acknowledging he's a dog, and the only indication I've seen of her willingness to do that is when she called a veterinarian instead of taking him to the ER.

Alexis treats everyone and everything, including her dog, like staff.  We only exist to do her bidding and are expected to read her mind and know what she wants at all times, and hop to it ASAP.  She seems to thinks if she wears fashions meant for someone 10 years younger (especially if she spends a lot of money on it) she magically regains the figure of her younger years.  Constantly repeating that she was proposed to 3 times makes her feel superior to other women, much like Iris from a previous season kept wielding her virginity like a sword.

It's too bad Mitch the eco-warrior and Binh, Mr.-unplug-everything-and-use-no power-beween-4-and-6 weren't matched up.  Although Mitch just comes off as sanctimonious about the use of plastic, Binh doesn't seem to mind if others use power as long as he doesn't have to pay for it.  It must be so painful for the 2 of them to see how much energy is used by Production in filming them.

Poor Aven. He's sort of an afterthought. Has to share his hometown with Men Tell All. That doesn't bode well for him.

I'm hopety-hope-hoping they are saving Aven's hometown so they had more time to edit and will show us some of his actual personality before announcing he's the next Bachelor instead of Nate.

I agree.  She is very competitive but very fair in her assessments.

I don't like that Alex gets a private showing of the other finished dishes with Eric.  I know it takes place before the blind judging, but for some reason it really bugs me.

What is it with so many wedding dresses having that panel aka cleavage window? "You want a neckline down to your navel? OK, but here's a sheer panel to protect your modesty."

I wonder the same thing when I watch Say Yes to the Dress.  Do these women think there may be an emergency mammogram on their wedding day?

I’m not a snacker in general but every time I sit down to watch this I make myself a big bowl of popcorn.  

We were having ice cream while we watched the first episode, and we felt like we were freezing.  That has now changed to having hot out of the oven snacks and hot coffee.

 I can understand her parents being protective, she’s looking for guys online, not a good idea, and also admitted to perverts being attracted to her. She’s also smoking and drinking too. Getting all tatted up isn’t going to make people think she’s older, she should act it. 
 

I really hope she doesn't decide to pose nude in a misguided "I'm an adult and I can do what I want" statement.

The whole time I was trying to figure out where her nipples were. The only thing I can think of is that it wasn’t see through and there was a skin tone liner (maybe a spandex liner). It was so distracting. 

As a person with pendulous breasts myself, I believe what she is doing is taking her downward pointing breasts and "folding" them into the bottom of a bra cup in an effort to create a rounded breast and disguise that her nipples hang so low they could be tucked into her waist band.  Not very effective though when you put sheer fabric over the whole works.  I had a coworker who sewed beads into her bra cups to further the illusion of perkier breasts with centered nipples under suits, but never wore sheer fabrics. 

 

 

[S01.E01: 2 Joes Are Better Than 1]

I didn't understand the whole same dress drama.  Not just because it was a such an overreaction but because I wasn't clear on how 2 of the same dresses became available.  Did every participant have a choice of 3 and it just so happened no other 2 women picked the same dress?  I admit I missed a lot because I muted the whole thing due to the constant over the top squealing and my captions are not all that reliable.

I've felt a lot of second hand embarrassment for reality TV contestants, but the tremendous "I've been saved!" reaction from the first potential woman to be eliminated (Suzan?) was one of the cringiest things I've seen.   I'm sad for her that it meant that much.  Right up there with the woman on the Bachelor that time who cried while telling us she was out of chances and her eggs are rotting, or everything Jamie Otis has ever done.

So considering Ava was pulled from the field and did not return, and her absence meant there were 36 left...wouldn't every single one of them figure out they made the team before the big jumbotron announcement was made?

I need a longer look at each design. I think I liked Anna's,  and the lady who worked with black lace fabric she brought from home, Chasity's, and Octavio's. I would have liked Bones without the crazy headdress and the silvery fringe around the bottom as I liked the sculptural feel.

 

I wish they would put up a screenshot of the original sketch and a small pic of the designer as the final look goes down the runway.  It would be a great help, especially early in the season while the contestants are numerous.

So...do I have this right?  Those runway gowns that cost thousands can actually be made in 30 minutes from leftover fabric?

I chocked it up to Linda's frustration that Monica had job options (UN or Revlon) Linda could only dream of, and Monica was instead fixated on the creep without understanding she was just one of many of his little secrets and it was essentially time to move on.
