I finished rewatching the Bashir interview - I remember initially seeing it and there was an ick factor then - but watching it now, knowing what we know - that was one creepy interview. Michael was either a fabulous liar or he was delusional about his behavior. And those eyes of his in that interview - there's just nothing in them - they're just empty. Very disturbing.

I'm rewatching that interview as well. And Michael does come off as sympathetic when talking about his relationship with his father. Like you - I had to remind myself to temper my sympathy for him - that this man thought nothing of abusing other people's children to satisfy his own needs. I do have to wonder how much of what Michael put out for public interviews was the real Michael or was it the carefully constructed Michael they all wanted us to see while he hid in plain sight.

I was afraid this was going to put Paris on tilt again. I hope she is okay and they will make sure she's got adequate psychiatric support for ALL of this once she's released.

That has got to be just about the most intense four hours of documentary that I have ever seen. So powerful, so heartbreaking, so gut wrenching. James Safechuck nearly ripped my heart apart - he wears his pain like clothing - his pain is that obvious. I do hope he is prepared for what's coming - the MJ fans are pretty rabid in their defense of him. James seems awfully fragile to me - I hope he has his therapist on speed dial. The documentary, aside from being so intense, and Oprah's interviews afterward did an excellent job of putting the information forward of grooming of families and victims. I'm hoping that information will save some who might otherwise not have had a clue as to what's being done and said to them and why. The more I think about the documentary the more upsetting it is, MJ's all out efforts to get what and who he wanted, then his just throwing the boys away when they got to big or too old for his perverted desires - leaving them to figure out for themselves they had been replaced and that "always love" was just another lie from MJ's mouth. So cold, so callous. His telling the boys that they would BOTH go to jail for life if anyone found out what they were doing made my blood boil - how terrifying to a 7-year-old to think of spending the rest of his life in jail when his life has just barely begun. That alone made me despise MJ even more than I thought I could. After the trial in which he was found not guilty, I was going to throw away all my MJ CDs. My husband convinced me to hold off and not overreact in the moment - so he put them all in a safe place for when and if I cooled down. When MJ died, I went and got them all and brought them back into the house again and the house was once again filled with the music of MJ. After watching the documentary - there's no way I can ever, EVER enjoy MJ music again. This time the CDs are gone for good. This time my husband didn't try to stop me from reacting. May Wade and James, and especially James, find the peace of mind and soul and serenity they so deserve.

So..it looks in the previews that Jazz is looking at getting her own place?? Did I misinterpret that?

Amazon Prime recommended this show to me and I am SO grateful they did - I had never even heard of it. Now having binge-watched all three seasons I'm feeling left alone and sad that I have to wait for another season. I have to say I think Hatosy is a fabulous actor - he plays a broken man so well. All the boys are easy on the eyes but Deren is my particular sweet candy! I love his scenes with Adrian - particularly Season 3 where they were more of a support system for each other rather than just sex. Then there's Ellen Barkin- wow. They'll never be able to kill her off or send her to prison because she really is the heart and soul of the show - depraved soul that she is. She's fierce, she's determined, she's afraid of nothing and she's got to be the most manipulative "mother" I've ever seen. Not to mention the creepy sexual overtones with her boys. Having come into the show three seasons in - I'm wondering if anyone in the cast has ever been nominated for Emmys? I think Hatosy and Barkin have been robbed if they haven't been nominated...

wow - how many levels of wrong was last night? I was absolutely floored when they said Gennesee was safe - I think she was probably as surprised as anyone. To have Jay Jay and Darius go home and Slavic stay? So wrong. Darius is a beautiful dancer and I hope he finds a company that appreciates him - he's the total package. I'm rooting for Hanaleigh to win but with all the atta girl the judges have been constantly giving her, I think Jensen is probably going to be the last dancer standing...

I didn't watch the auditions this time around so I'm coming in pretty late to the game with regard to knowing the dancers and their strengths. That being said- I really thought Slavic was a great dancer - my eyes were riveted to him. I also liked Darius and Magda - that cha cha dance they did was pretty awesome. Chelsea seemed to be the weakest of the ten - but like others have said - why in the heck would they make a non-tap dancer learn tap in one short week? Seems unfair to her. Evan was fabulous to watch tapping but the version of Singing in the Rain that they played has to be one of the worst I've heard....

That was my first thought too! But what do you bet they go there?

I have to say - I did not see the dead baby angle coming. Nelle handing over her newborn to Brad without any emotion at all and telling Michael theirs had died as a final stick it to him was a twist I didn't anticipate. Dark writing for sure. I'm sure with all the birth mom and she has 30 days to change her mind mentions we know what's coming. As much as I loathed Nelle - the show's going to be a bit less interesting without her. CL played the part perfectly.

I've been firmly on the Caleb, Maddie and Dennis train but I have to say Catie blew me away last night. Her song choice was perfect for her and boy did she deliver. My husband has avoided watching this show with me by whatever means possible but when he heard her singing he came out of wherever he was hiding to listen to her. I was so disappointed that Dennis didn't get chosen. If it were up to me (if only!) I'd have chosen him and Jurnee would be journeying home. Hopefully some record producer out there realizes Dennis has great potential and will sign him up.

They kept Catie in and let Effie go. Wow. And they kept Jonny in? WHY???

Done forever with this show. Just...wow...

I tell myself every week I am DONE with this show- yet every week I watch it anyway. The moms act like a bunch of Mean Girls. I didn't watch the show back in the day but was Christie as obnoxious in the early days as she is now? She's the queen of mean. The "original" moms are all now on the "Abby was so mean to my daughter and now daughter is suffering because of it." Please. Any of them could have left at any time. I really, REALLY hope that some of what we're seeing is staged and that these grown women are not as mean, vile and bullying as they are portrayed on this show.

I like both Danielle and Adam. Husband thinks Adam is a bit of a wuss but I think he's just overwhelmed with responsibility. All in all I think he's handling things pretty well - that's a lot of little babies at the same time. I worried about supporting two kids - I can't imagine supporting six! Danielle seems to genuinely enjoy having children and doesn't constantly complain about all that she has to do because of said children (I'm thinking of YOU Kate Gosselin). I also find I don't scream at the television when watching the Busby's like I do whenever Kate and her "eight" are on...

More days of having to endure Sam at Jason's bedside crying and pleading - ugh. YOU are the reason he got shot Sam! I never have warmed up to Nelle - but I hate the idea that Michael has picked yet another woman who's gonna end up hurting him. He's had nothing but bad luck when it comes to his love life. There's a gazillion rumors out there about the Steve Burton return and that BM's Jason and RH Franco will be tied closely to the return. I'm one of the few not looking forward to his return - he chews up way too much screen time...

This show is basically a train wreck - but yet I keep watching it! I had to look up Krista Allen and even then I didn't know who she was or recognize any of her work. All three Schroder females grate on my nerves for some reason - mom more than her daughters - she's a bit overbearing. I don't get the title they chose at all- I can't see any of these kids ever being super models. Entitled yes- super models - nope.

Ha ha! Her eating with her mouth open drives me nuts! And yeah- her brothers aren't much better!

I am so relieved to find out that I apparently have a lot of company in seriously disliking Kate. My husband hates when he sees this show is on as she brings out the absolute worst in me. Her with all of her "woe is me - I have to do it ALL BY MYSELF - I have no one to help me" attitude. She was like this even when Jon was around following all her screeching orders to do this and do that. I keep telling my husband I hope I live long enough to read the books these kids will write. I can barely even watch when Cara is sitting on the couch - the child never smiles, barely speaks - she either doesn't want to do the show and is being made to or she's got some depression going on. She was so much happier and more confident when Jon was around. As for Colin- I remember from way back in the day - he was always the focus of Kate and her wrath - whether she was making fun of him or being mean to him - it's no wonder the boy has issues and I'm not at all surprised that she removed him from "her" house (remember that episode when they moved in and she said "it's mine - ALL MINE" about the house even though Jon was still with her at the time?). And yet - I watch the show...
