    I saw on Bret’s Instagram that everyone is in Dallas for a Finale viewing party. The people not in the picture are Rachel & Elissa.Corrine, Kory, Art & JJ. I got the impression that the Reilly sisters weren’t attending or wanted. Christy looks amazing.

    Ha, there’s even a little Travelocity gnome!

    I'm just throwing this out here as PURE speculation- but for the upcoming season we will probably meet whomever the Mother of Kevin's kid is- I'm assuming they will try and cast someone who is a "name" for the role. I was just on Instagram and Jennifer Morrison whose pilot was not picked up- just posted that she is binge watching the show to catch up. And then I thought to myself- OMG- she'd be perfect casting to potentially play Kevin's love interest and the Mother of his kid.

    I just wanted to put it out there- because it's in my head and if it proves true- I want to have at least put it somewhere. HAHA. 

    That was exactly my speculation when I saw that she was joining the show for a “major recurring role.”

  3. I wanted to see Bishme in the finale over Garo. Liked his other two looks. So sad for him that all the emotional turmoil in his life sapped his creativity when he needed it most. It would be hard for anyone to do their best with all that going on. I hope by now he's feeling better and less rocked by loss.

    That said, Sebastian damn well better win this thing! If Hester wins I may throw up.

    He goes to Duke now, but he said he grew up living in a trailer.  He seems like a kid who pulled himself up by his own bootstraps, so I am not going to knock him for not being a good swimmer.

    I grew up poor in a rural town in N.C. and never had formal swimming lessons. I happened to have a more well-off friend whose family had a pool, and she taught me swimming basics in elementary school. If not for her, I probably wouldn't have learned until college (IIRC our high-school water-safety section in middle-school health class only really involved learning how to tread water, plus textbook boating stuff about port, starboard and buoys). I can freestyle and backstroke enough to pass the swim test I needed to graduate UNC, and can get back and forth on laps, but my form is utterly terrible. Everybody SHOULD know how to swim, but not everybody does. It sounded like Keith had at least tried to learn before coming on the show.

    Swimming in the ocean is really different than swimming in a lake or a pool.  So says Sandra, two time Survivor winner.  Keith may have taken lessons to prepare, but it's hard to apply them in the actual sloshing around ocean.

    Yes, it is quite different! I went snorkeling in the Florida Keys and probably would have drowned if not for my life-vest. I still swallowed a heck of a lot of ocean water thanks to all the waves. Calm pool water is a lot different than ocean water! I'm sure that affected Keith a lot, too.

    Keith seems sweet but not long for the game. And there is that Duke factor for this UNC girl.... 😉

    I'd have been hella pissed if somebody had moved my clothes without asking. Reem really did herself no favors, especially at tribal council.

    I love Aubrey and I don't like that guy targeting her. He may be technically right about not wanting a veteran to go far, but he put me off with his manner about it and the automatic targeting of the woman instead of the guy (even if the guy is a challenge monster in Joe).

    Javi’s performance was nowhere near his best, but still admirable considering it’s been nearly a year since he last competed. Does anyone know why he came back for this last competition. Was it mainly to secure men’s spots for Spain at next year’s Euros? 

    They said on the broadcast that he hadn't wanted the pressure of ending his career at the Olympics, so he'd said Europeans -- which felt like "home" to him -- would be his final performance.

    Damn, Nathan! His quads look so freaking CASUAL. 

    How frustrating must it be for the other men, though, to work so hard and put your all into the sport -- and Nathan Chen is out there winning by 60 FREAKING POINTS. I mean, he's clearly the top of the U.S. crop given the current scoring system, but that's a LOT. 

    Apart from the top four or so, it was a cringey splat-fest. Jason is great, but you can't pop two jumping passes and not have a quad. I was really hoping he'd nail the quad.

  6. Catching up on some of the early ladies free skates I missed last night. Hanna Harrell was intriguing. But I’m totally over skaters throwing their arms over their head on every jump. I know it’s harder, yadda yadda, but I’m over it.

  7. I never really associated “fun” with Chock/Bates, but that routine was FUN! And that lift was awesome.

    H/D seem a bit mature to be doing Romeo and Juliet. At least the subject matter forced them to tone down the sex sneers. They’re always so overwrought though. That first bit, yeesh.

  8. Manta/Johnson aren’t as smooth as the top teams, but that routine sure was fun.

    A bit late of a comment, but I squee’d at Denney/Frazier using David Cook’s version of “Billie Jean” for the short dance.

    I’m going to be sorely tested for the foreseeable future at the Hubbell/Donahue tongue baths.

    ETA: Yikes, HartofDixie, that death glare from Madison!

    A I was actually rooting for them to upset Hubbell and Donohue.  And I see that Madison Hubbell's creepy sex sneer is back with a vengeance. You know, the sneer that Tanith thinks is "smoldering?" I just can't with them. 

    I hate H&D. Haaaaaate! That over-the-top sex sneering is not my cup of tea. Unfortunately, that seems to be the chosen presentation in ice dance. Blech. That's part of why I loved the ShibSibs so much -- they COULDN'T do that, so they were like a breath of fresh air to me.

    U.S. figure skating has had so many Next Big Things that didn't pan out, so we'll see about Alysa. I hope she's able to capitalize on the promise and grow artistically, but I'm not holding my breath. (Nathan Chen is one of the few who actually DID pan out, regardless of how he fared at the Olympics -- I remember the excitement about him at Nationals when he was 10.)

    I think Mariah Bell is such a lovely skater. Darn that one jump! I think she'd have won if not for that.

  10. The Nellie Bly movie tonight was disappointing -- they ended up

     

    making her a damsel in distress who had to be rescued by a made-up guy [/spoiler]

     

    . I don't think that's something that Nellie would have approved of.

    I’ve seen that too, and it’s a shame. She’s a reporter. That’s her job. Just like Safe Sport was doing their job by investigating.

    It’s just a tragedy all around. It’s a very sad situation for everyone involved. 

    Indeed. I was shocked to see the report of his suspension from the sport, and then shocked to see the news of his suicide. I know nothing about what did or didn't happen in regard to whatever charges were made against him, but what a terrible situation all around.

    It's definitely going to hang over Nationals. I wonder if they will talk about it on the air or try to avoid the subject?

  12. The second Brandon said he used xanthan gum, I knew he was a goner.

    Good point about the amount of meat they were given vs. the number of people they had to feed. But still, so many of the dishes just sounded and looked underwhelming.

    I found it kind of odd the amount of people who used berries with their beef. I don't think of those things as going together at all.

    Django's burgundy and gold dress was hideous. The red fabric just looked tacked on top of a poorly made and ill fitting gold dress. I have no idea how that wasn't in the bottom.

     

    I have no idea how they didn't just yank the model off the runway and auf him IMMEDIATELY. That was truly, truly awful. In fact, I think that was one of the most hideous things I've ever seen sent down the PR runway. Ever. EV-ER. Seriously, how was that monstrosity not in the bottom?

    Evan's was my favorite.

    Saw that this morning, so sad for her. I just got the all clear after stage 3 cancer, so feel this really deeply.

    I'm so happy for you. And so sad for Fatima.

    Cancer SUCKS.

    Eddie's cream reducing and making "chewy butter solids" was intriguing.

    It was funny how they showed everybody yelling about the cream boiling over or needing attention.

    Well, Brother sure was a flash in the pan. Which is fine, I didn't care to see him come back, but I'm surprised Tom let the LCK returnee get knifed so quickly.

    Happy for Eric to get the win! He must've been an oyster-shucking machine. And then to have time to plate them all? I have to say, I missed where the pumpernickel toast was in his dish -- I couldn't see it when they showed it.

    Padma having a fringe-off with other guests, LOL.
