Sparger Springs

I don't know why it took so long. The budget of these movies can't be more than a 100k. My daughter and I are convinced we can write a Hallmark movie in an afternoon. Scene 1 plucky girl engaged to city loser who doesn't appreciate her country roots. Scene 2 back home for the holidays or death or the strawberry festival. Scene 3 runs into old boyfriend who works with his hands and is renovating the old Jenkins Barn into a house for his future bride that he hasn't met yet Scene 4 city boy shows up and is dumped for being a snob. Scene 5 kiss and back with old boyfriend and maybe a wedding if we have a few bucks left in the budget.

I never thought for a half a second that Paris Jackson or any of Michael Jackson's kids were biologically 1/2 black. 90% of the Jacksons married white people and the only one with kids that look unambiguously white are Michael's.

Why is every Reid arc storyline so ridiculous. He can't have normal problems. Reid is in love with a woman he has never sesen and has to call her on pay phones. Reid can't meet a woman and go on a date in the real world. We have to prove he is so cerebral he isn't effected by mere looks. Reid is being set up for murder in Mexico and for some reason gets transferred to the US to stand trail, that makes no sense. Reid's mother has Alzheimers he has to search for a cure himself and of course get set up for murder.

Or they could've found the dad kidnapped him and forced a vasectomy on him. I always thought Flynn's history should've changed when they saved the little brother. The life choices one makes with and without a child or often different. She might not have moved to France and met the Dad. He could've been the kind of man that had no interest in raising another man's kid. That was a big risk.

I thought it was too preachy.

I don't understand if the kid wasn't his bio son the nation would think he was a liar and couldn't be trusted. Kirkman wanting that stupid reporter around to keep him honest, made no sense. She wasn't exactly outing state secrets about torture and government malfeasance. Its turning into a bad soap opera.

I'm already sick of the baby plot line and the kid hasn't even been born yet. No idea why they thought this was a good idea. I don't believe for one second Bow would be crying over never been pregnant again. She didn't exactly plan this and per previous episodes all the kids were mistakes.

this episode was not worth the wait.

The black millennials made me so sad. They like so many in their generation want the pure perfect candidate that does not and will never exist. Only thing that will cure them of that is time.

Amanda Waller in the comics is a 300 lb dark skinned black lady. We never ever see that representation of black women.

There was a study done that said when people were told a person was biracial they would be rated more attractive than if they were told they were monoracial. It didn't matter the complexion. https://sites.duke.edu/dukeresearch/2016/08/10/beauty-is-in-the-ear-of-the-beholder-too/ Basically we are giving people exotic points. Oh her mommy is white, she is so pretty. Same girl 2 black parent she allright.

I've been thinking about the over representation of biracial actress or biracial appearing actresses today. People are so excited about Zendaya being Mary Jane in the new Spider-Man. Wake me when a woman darker than a brown paper bag gets a major role in a Marvel or DC movie. I know Viola get to play a bitch in Suicide Squad. Amanda Waller is a sexless old black lady. Older dark actresses can get a role being mean or in charge of something. The younger ones under 30 are blatantly off limits for the average main stream movie. Still waiting for the rest of the cast to be announced in the Black Panther movie. Willing to bet the love interest in this movie will be a biracial actress. I don't expect Lupita and Danai to actually have a major role of any substance. Every time a black actress gets a role in one of these movies she is biracial. Zendaya, Alexandra Shipp, Tess Thomas, Zoe Kravitz, and the original movie storm Halle Berry. I was on a gossip site this morning and people were making fun of Simon Biles for picking Zendaya to play her in a future movie about her life. There are very few young dark actresses that are known for her to pick from. This is a real problem. I remember everybody going in and being all excited that Lupita was in Star Wars. Then the movie comes out and she is a cgi character. Lupita came out and said she was excited and it was her choice to be cgi. What were her other options for Star Wars? Rae, nah uh. Saw the new Star Wars trailer not one black woman. I'm sure there will be one sitting or standing with maybe one line, if we are lucky.

Or Quinn can hate her job and still not want kids. Not everybody wants kids and a husband. The people at lifetime or still stuck on lifetime television for women. We all want a knight in shining armor and beautiful babies that require no attention. She must want a man or life is empty. Quinn screaming about choices for a man she knew for less than a month was ridiculous. These are grown women that fall in love at the drop of a hat. High school girls with their first crush have better sense. It they wanted Quinn to be upset about babies they could've showed her being upset that Chet's baby was with his wife and not her. At least we would've had some foundation to Quinn baby meltdown.

What could've made this season better. I've been thinking about it. I had a few ideas in the other thread. 1. The bachelor should've been regular black guy. Not a superstar quarterback. He could've had ulterior motives pushing a business etc but also wanting to meet and be the focus of a bunch of pretty woman. He should've wanted to be there. Not every bachelor should have a dark past and is trying to improve their image and angry about doing the show. They could've had Darius Beck pro quarterback's brother Damon Beck as the bachelor. He never made it to the big leagues like Arron Rogers brother. He could mention his brother at every opportunity. Yael could have been a new PA that was sniffing around. Since Madison moved up to producer. That way we wouldn't be all wondering how she managed to get there. She could've even said in previous life she was a reporter and changed careers. Being a reporter is not very lucrative these days. She could've been working for evil ex husband of last years fake suicide victim to sue the show and the network. Coleman not needed at all. Quinn's rich boyfriend who brings up babies after 2 weeks of dating. I would've loved for Quinn to say she never had any interest in children. She is a 45 year old childless woman because she wanted it that way. Told rich dude to accept it or move on. Quinn tearing up shit cause she can't have babies, whatever. Its like they had no idea who Quinn is. Rachel, Rachel is at her best manipulating contestants, nobody wants childhood rape stories shoehorned in. Rachel's mom is an unethical sleaze we get it. We could've had Rachel manipulating the girls for storylines and actually getting to know the girls. Also this one week timeline they are on is ridiculous. If you want that do the amazing race or big brother show. I think it would be funny to show the contestants watching at home and seeing their edits with the rest of the world. Maybe having someone tracking down Quinn and threatening to sue and Quinn laughing in their face and throwing the agreement in their face that they signed. Like I mentioned in the other thread racism isn't always some big life changing event like being shot by the cops.

I have no idea what is going on. The only thing I like is the music.

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/former-criminal-minds-star-shemar-moore-posts-cryptic-message-on-instagram/ I guess Shemar Moore is happy he was fired.

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/former-criminal-minds-star-shemar-moore-posts-cryptic-message-on-instagram/ I'm guessing Thomas Gibson was a pain the ass.

He's fine. Just angry at Rachel for getting him shot. I'm guessing it was only a minor wound made at point blank rage.

I will not be watching next year. This show is absolutely horrific. Before I leave I will make my prediction for next years plot line. Rachel will get drunk or stoned or something and tell the new suitor about the murder spree going on on the Unreal set. Rachel will be sleeping with the new Bachelor. Bachelor will be some rich handsome white guy try to rehab his bad boy image and trying to open a chain of Jiffy lubes or condotels. The new bachelor will be madly in love with Rachel of course, in spite of her wearing the same outfit for 3 seasons. He will try to rescue Rachel by putting the blame on Chet and Quinn. Quinn will find out and arrange for a Hot Air Balloon engagement date with the Bachelor and the girl who is on the show for all the right reasons. The Balloon will crash to the ground killing the new suitor, the wifey and the poor innocent hot air balloon operator on live television. We won't know anything at all about the girls, beyond red head teacher, crazy party girl and the wifey material girl who will die in the last episode. End scene will be Rachel and Quinn lying on deck chairs by the pool looking sad.

Urkel stalked Laura. When the show finally goes off the air they are together. Ugh.

Andrew Firestone was the bachelor. Like everyone is saying someone with any gravitas wouldn't be a regular contestant on the Bachelor. Shayne is a part of a low end Hollywood acting family. That entire family is basically subsisting off reality tv shows.

I think this show uses sex as a crutch. They think its so shocking. They have these empowered women jump into bed at a drop of a hat with anyone that gives them googly eyes. I don't understand why Coleman and Yael had to have sex. They couldn't just be partners in crime serving their own ends. Yael should've been smart enough to get info from Jeremy without sex. Tiffany the daughter of a billionaire is using sex to get her way. Why does she need any of the men on this show. She is rich. Billionaire girl seeking the limelight would have been the bachelorette not one girl of 25 trying to get the attention of a game show contestant. No one actually thought through any of the nonsense for this season.

The problem with this show is inept tptb that thought they could tackle big topics like race relations. Racism isn't just cops shooting unarmed black people. They should have never gone there. They missed a golden opportunity to show the small normal everyday racism that effect minorities in this country. Darius should've been a regular bachelor with a normal job like the other bachelors, Dr, lawyer, fireman, etc. When the show started they could've had real reactions from the contestants for a black bachelor. Big time quarterback doesn't get the same reaction as a regular man, no matter the race. They could've had a girl drop out immediately because of the black bachelor. A girl going on date and not kissing Darius and literally turning away. Maybe had some special liberal arts college snow flake not wanting to room with Chantel not the red neck girl with the stars and bars bikini. If they hadn't been so over the top with this nonsense they could've told much better stories. Quinn and Rachel can't be the focus every year. How much drama can two women have in their lives? Are they going to kill or almost kill someone every year this shit show manages to stay on the air?

I don't think the Unreal production staff has any interest in what actually happens in the real world. I was reading on another board that the stats they gave Darius are abysmal and he would have a very low QB rating and be 31st out of 32 teams with the paltry stats they gave him.

UnReals ratings are worse than they were last year. A good night is less than 500k with maybe another 500k from DVR and online viewings. America is not pumped for a fictional or real Black suitor.
