Only two people in the world can make me root for Rachel to get to the mat faster. Congrats Corinne and Eliza. God help the people in your lives that put up with you.

Re: Peter, I think ever since he said he didn't want to be Bachelor and the response by TPTB was all WELL WE WOULD NEVER ASK YOU, he's probably on their shit list. Also, Rachel's had a bad reaction to people sympathizing with him over her, so given she's in the Bachelor family moreso, the show has probably some unwritten agreement to pretend he doesn't exist

Nicole doesn't even seem to like Hayden, their dynamic is so strange to me Peace out, Rupert 'strongest survivor ever' Funny, young me had such a crush on Colin despite his anger issues. Now old me sees all the red flags but also does not care for the zen version. But hey, it works for the two of them and they do seem sweet together.

For some reason, I wouldn't be surprised if next season we found out that Alexis never got on the plane... there was something very off to me about how she said bye to Ted. But maybe that's me reading into it because everything has been screaming out that she didn't want to go. Otherwise, a cute finale. I teared up with Stevie hitting her big moment. I also felt her entirely with her 'everyone is living their life around me' mentality as I am going through something very similar. I need a crazy Moira pep talk.

Sweet potato fries, when made right (and with a good garlic aoli) are amazing. When made wrong, they're terrible. While normal fries, even wrong they're still pretty good (except crinkle fries can GTFO)

I don't understand (well i know why) they made such a big deal out of Afa's model being cold and Hester's model was wearing just as little. I hate when in unconventional challenges they give them some sort of fabric (whether it's sleeping bags, tarps, seat belts, etc) and then... complain about them using those products.

So she was ELEVEN? I mean, living the dream of my younger self, but still. Also, texting in 1999? I didn't have a cellphone until 2005 but man was she ahead of the time.

That sort of threw me because as a previous Josh Hartnett stan during the Pearl Harbor years... how old is Alexis? I always pinned her around my age, perhaps a couple years older and I would have been like, 12 when that movie was filming (it came out in 2001 so would have filmed 1999ish). If she was of age, that would put her at 37/38 now.

It was Chelsea Handler

The acting in the first episode, outside of Jon and Alexa, has me nervous for my enjoyment of the rest of the season. There's something very off and... annoying...about the blonde girl and the 'baddies' (outside of the main guy who I have seen in other things before). Which is strange since most of the time the acting in Marvel Netflix shows is pretty solid. I'm hoping it's first episode jitters because otherwise I'm in for a long 13 episodes.

The Christmas movie that I have to watch every year would be Grinch - both cartoon and Jim Carrey. Others I'll watch if I come across them or if I'm in the mood, but some have lost appeal over the years. But Grinch always makes my heart grow three sizes. Funnily enough, I was reading back through this thread and found that I had commented the exact same thing four years ago...

I read that it was 11 min long so it must clock in at the longest. I personally was impressed with the things that Charlie Cox did do in the scene that I can overlook the times where it was just the back of his head so his double could be the one slammed against the wall.

I was just in Quebec and everyone I ran into that was willing to speak English to me (many either didn't speak English or didn't want to bother) spoke it French-accented. It's not the same as a France-French accent, but its vastly different than the accents from Ontario/New Brunswick (the other neighbouring provinces).

To me, Kendall wasn't upset that Leo kissed Chelsea. It was that everyone knew but her or rather Leo didn't think it was worthwhile mentioning. I'm sure if he approached to her and said like, I'm open to pursuing something else with someone else, so keep doing what you're doing with Joe, she can't really be mad at that (though she was talking about how since there are limited days left, she wanted to figure it out sooner). Yes, everyone is kissing everyone but Colton and Chris knew about each other, Jordan and Benoit knew about each other, Jubilee and Caroline knew about each other. Leo and Joe knew about each other. Everyone at least gives that respect. Also I mean, it was like 30 min after they got back from their date so that is also weird, but nonetheless. Leo is a manipulative jackass and at least its good to see this season the women calling men out (Tia with Chris) on that. Like, they think they can convince them of something that didn't happen? These men are crazy.

Which doesn't make him innocent of what Chloe said he did. She mentioned in her post it was something she had to get off her chest and express. There was no intention of getting him fired or arrested. It was something that was weighing on her for years and wanted to express in order to prevent similar things from happening to other people. That is her right with her own experiences. She owes no one anything. She doesn't care if he keeps his job or not so why bother going through his work investigation. I am not saying with 100% that the accusations are true. However, it is inhumane to write it off just because it doesn't fit in the nice box of "he held me down and forced himself on me" rape or "he punched me every night" abuse. We're living in 2018. We can do better than that. This is so categorical untrue and a very dangerous belief to have and again why people never come forward. It has been proven that less than 5% of rape accusations are untrue. I'll take the 5% if that means the 95% are comfortable coming forward.

It's one thing to work for a bad boss, it's a whole other to work for a sexual/emotional abuser. Let us not mistake an internal investigation in a work place with an actual criminal investigation. Just because they hired him back does not mean he's not guilty - it means the show won't get sued to having him there and they're willing to continue with him until an actual criminal investigation takes place. Everything that has been thrown at Chloe in the last few months is exactly why women don't bother coming forward. Men continue in their jobs, women get called liars, golddiggers, attention whores. Before people start to question why she cheated, why she didn't leave, why she asked to get back together, I encourage people to actually do research into abusive relationships. Regardless of that, Talking Dead shouldn't even exist as a show anymore - I was an avid watcher in the early years when there were things to discuss and speculate on. But when people on the couch are just there to sing praises and make excuses for the terrible writing of the show, it's beyond its expiration date.

In Canada, it's on the CBC website to stream. I know season 3 was added in like, December to Canadian Netflix. If you're elsewhere, it might end up on Netflix earlier than that or you could check Pop since that's the channel it aired on in the US.

I think the point is that no one considers the equator the 'top of the world' (aka the North Pole more so). Rachel needs to stop. She got off lucky because most people still like her after her season but she needs to back off and just find her fame elsewhere. The more she complains and begs for Bachelor time, the worse she'll come off.

Pretty sure it was a bible. Bibles are the only thing available for contestants on Big Brother so I assume it's the name for these guys.

After the Bachelor in Paradise situation with Corinne, theyve limited alcohol consumption and closely watch the contestants for over drinking. I`ve heard it`s two drinks an hour, and it has to be a mixed drink (so not shots). Previously the alcohol used to just be out in the house during rose ceremonies and such but now they have to ask to get a drink.

I mean, didn't his family say the same thing? Becca would challenge him on a day to day basis (which they loved aka realizing he needs someone to put him in his place).

That end was a bigger twist than the finale.

The direction on the last few episodes has been so embarrassing. Between whatever was happening last episode and then that tragic fight scene and then the cherry on top, the freeze frame ending. This show tests me. I'm glad Jack is still around. Best part if the possibility that I will not have to see Mark P on my TV again any time soon.

I think that was ultimately my favourite part of the whole episode. He was so defeated. I liked the David/Ted scene most because it was a pairing we haven't seen before (or at least that much). Ted rolled in the puns and David got serious and it was a nice balance for the both of them. Welcome to the world, Roland Moira Schitt.

Oh Ted/Alexis. You two crazy kids. Dan Levy is really talented at writing and it shows how well they manage the typical sitcom storylines with class and not falling into the same tropes. Any other show would have ended with Ted kissing her, and the messy aftermath of him technically cheating on Heather. But we know Ted is a good man (the sweetest man Alexis has ever know *tear*).
