  1. Former teacher here. Schools are petrie dishes. Always have been, always will be. Closing the schools did damage, socially, psychologically, and academically, but the damage would have been much worse, in fact deadly if they weren't closed. Deadly not just to the children, but to their parents, teachers, and grandparents. Many children live with grandparents as guardians, or in multi-generational homes. If kids went to school during the worst of the pandemic, how many of those grandparents would have wound up hospitalized, or worse? In one school district here, kids went back to school, but kids in their classes got Covid, and so they were in school in person, then virtual, then in person, then virtual, over and over again. Surely, that wasn't the right decision if we are looking for stability. Dr. Phil is annoying, but more than that, his political opinions were right out there this morning. I often am bothered by Sunny, and her need to always be the smartest one in the room, but today, I was proud of her, and Whoopie for standing up against Dr. Phil.
  2. I saw the 20/20 documentary. The cult ladies, barefoot, and dressed in white went to the 7th Day Adventist Church, and gave the baby to the man, who was the pastor there. He became her father, adopted her in a private adoption. Oh, and Haleth, I read it as Don Adams at first also.
  3. Olivia is the one person on the show who has grown (of main characters, I was impressed by Amber last night). Kim's gone back to being a selfish teenybopper, Ethan is still a toddler, who despite his own lack of knowledge and education, wants to raise kids just like he was raised, Moriah is a mess, Micah just doesn't want to deal with anything that isn't easy, pleasant, and uncomplicated. Barry is trying to be a good father, but his views are in his way, and he's just creepy. On the other hand, Olivia has come to terms with how she was raised, and wants nothing to do with that way of life, because she knows how limiting it has been for her and Ethan. When she was talking to Ethan's cousin, and said she was afraid to try college, because she had never been in a school in her life, I felt so bad for her. She could do it, and maybe once she is free of her toddler husband, she will. Bartending, and running her bridal photography business are fine, but she could take photography and business classes, one or two at a time, and feel better about herself.
  4. I've been watching since the first season, and I liked Moriah so much better back when she was the family rebel, showing her rebellion with clothing that was not acceptable to her parents. I found the Moriah of independence, living with Micah, Ethan, and Olivia, somewhat selfish, and immature, with an unrealistic view of her talent, but she was searching, and I found that a positive trait. This season's Moriah is a mess. She's hypocritical, and attention seeking. I can't even summon up empathy for her, and don't get me started on Micah.
  5. I love this show! I love Keith and Evan, their joyful smiles, and their mission to revitalize these neighborhoods. Shea and Terry are a wonderful couple also. It's so terrific to watch cheerful people doing good in this world. While Keith's style is not my style, I enjoy watching his process, and seeing the results. This show is such fun to watch.
  6. Spectrum must have only pulled ABC in some areas. Here in Cleveland, I could watch ABC all day if I wanted to at least so far.
  7. I watched it on Spectrum live today. Going forward, I hope the person who wrote it wouldn't be shown on Spectrum is wrong.
  8. I never understood the obsession with reality competition shows, and never watched any of them until Claim to Fame. I became obsessed with this show from the beginning in season one, and think it is so much fun to watch. I was not at all surprised at the final three. They all had strategies that worked for them as they played the game. I was glad that the winner was not Monay. I was also glad, Carly, with her Gabriel's not so smart remark, as she threw a tantrum in episode one, had to watch in person as Gabriel won.
  9. I think the lesson learned this year is don't listen to someone like Jane. She exuded confidence, and because she was older, and seemed knowledgable, the young folks trusted her. She pushed wrong information before being wrong about Chris, and then, again, on her return. Gabriel out and out lied throughout the show, but Jane just didn't know what she was talking about when she pushed her theories as facts. Moral of the story, never listen to Jane.
  10. I felt that Chris's anger was the result of having his character and upbringing questioned by Gabriel, and truthfully, that was my interpretation also. Gabriel wears a facade of good guy, but I am not sure it is who he is in reality. He is honest about what he knows and doesn't know, at least when he is interacting with the audience. Also, in a both sides post here, I looked up Donny Osmond's four sons, and Chris is the third of the four. His younger brother is 7 years younger than him, so he was the baby of the family for seven years. Take that as you see it.
  11. I don't think Monay has any idea who Chris is. I swear the clue could say Mormon from Utah from a singing family with a sister, named Marie, and these people would still guess wrong. Poor Donny's ego is probably taking it hard, but if Chris wins, it would probably heal really quickly. Still, being this season's Dean Martin can't be a good feeling for him. They seem to have begun figuring out Gabriel's clues, but they just have no idea about Monay's celeb. I generally don't watch competitive reality shows, but I absolutely love this show!
  12. I never liked Hugo, found him annoying, right up until he talked about his grandfather. Then, I felt bad for him. I just keep saying, they are just too young to understand clues like coat of many colors, teen idol in the 70s, and even Utah. Still, that none of them knew that Elton John was British . . .I'm not sure that can be said to be because of their age. Have they never heard him speak?
  13. When I said that the age of the contestants made it difficult for them to guess Chris or Hugo, I did not mean the age of Chris or Hugo, but the others seem not to recognize how much Chris looks like his father, because his father isn't part of their knowledge. His popularity was before their time. As far as Hugo, once again, their ages don't make his grandfather someone they identify with peanut farmer, or other things in the clue. Alicia Keys was easy to identify, because she is part of their generation. Monay even knew that Alicia Keys had a half brother who dated Emma Watson.
  14. Cole was my favorite, and I'm sorry to see him go, but his relative was obvious with the clues on the board, and during the telephone game. I have a feeling it is going to come down to Chris, Gabriel, or Hugo. The youth of the players is making the clues for Hugo and Chris difficult for the others to guess.
  15. Shayne was safe after the game earlier in the day. She had immunity. Jane/Jada figured out Hugo's information, but chose to go after Chris instead. Bad idea.
