I recommend Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk by Tony DuShane. It is both powerful and very sad. His experiences are similar to those of my niece whose father is Jehovah's Witness. As with many of these cults, many abusive people hide in them since they can use the religion to justify their behavior.

I so much wanted St. douche to go home. He makes every scene he is in miserable. Can we sew his lips shut for the rest of the time he is on?

OMG. Have the children all gone deaf from the excessive hairspray on the stink RV? I am surprised we didn't hear dogs howling from the pain in their ears listening to that godawful noise. The Rodriguez kids look horribly malnourished and sickly. They are like something from a Dickens novel. They all have huge dark circles under their eyes. They do need to be saved from their crazy, exploitative parents.

I believe that's slyer and slyer (or more and more sly).

Didn't the character use a series of odd phrases before fuck like a dolphin? I thought it was supposed to show his lack of sophistication. A.K.A. these are the jokes, kids! Time to laugh!

Here is a link to an article listing the out gay persons who have won academy awards. There are gay actors who have won but they were not out when they won: Jodie Foster, Joel Grey and John Gielgud. http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/02/29/12-openly-gay-people-thatve-won-an-oscar/?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=ETFB&utm_campaign=portal&utm_content=inf_17_60_2&tse_id=INF_dc51af71f7244bb48d3cc2db09d5f1ed

I found him a little too damn precious for my taste. I know he's young and out-going and in a very unique, exciting position . . . . I need to not see or hear him for awhile. I haven't seen Room yet. I'm not sure I can take 2 hours of him.

Better than the last episodes but still so many problems. I don't know if I can watch women and African-Americans being treated like crap so blatantly all the time. It's exhausting. I know it's a period piece but such things have been done so much better.

I officially love Jenny Beavan. That is all. Oh, and maybe we need to pick someone for the drinking game. You know, a Dave Grohl substitute.

As far as painfull banter goes, I kinda liked Russell and Ryan.

And right there is a reason they should not be together. Even after everything they have gone through, it still doesn't occur to April to communicate. I enjoyed the comment that they just keep having the same argument. I believe we have all been complaining about that too. Get divorced. Stay divorced. Move on.

They don't discuss their problems but they do "talk, talk, talk". Unfortunately all of the talk is about Jesus and the bible. Oh sure, there are occasional discussions of dog vomit and bondage demonstrations but they absolutely do not talk about their addictions. That would be opening a door for Satan.

And make America pay for it!

I think we learn from this that it takes Gothard just over 40 seconds to get an erection. So at 40 seconds he assumes boys are safe from springing forth toward the evil women. No surprise Joshie was accused of choking a woman he was paying for sex. He wouldn't see her as fully human and deserving respect, so why not choke her? After all, she is the enemy.

Nothing new to add to his spank bank. Aaaaaaand I'll let myself out.

The lost me at the slap - choke - kiss scene in the toilet. Only on TV is slapping someone an invitation to the sex.

Riveting! How could I miss this?

More and more I despise Dr. Now. There are times when people need tough love but that is the only thing he offers. We all see that the people featured on this show almost universally need both psychological and nutritional counseling. Regardless of the reasons for their obesity, he sneers at them and treats them like they are misbehaving children. Behavior, especially extreme behaviors, aren't that simple to address. When they have any complications, he blames them. She has a family history of drug addiction and an addictive personality, so he is surprised she had a problem with pain pills. She seems very depressed, counseling should be immediate. He also seems disappointed when people don't have major medical issues along with their obesity. he likes to tell us they will all be dead in a few years. Some of the people shown have major medical issues. Others have been relatively okay. I would hope she was tested for cushing's. Given that she was able to lose so much weight after the surgery, chances are she does not have it. Hers is a more uncommon body type but it is not unseen, even among people without major endocrine disorders. She reminded me of a friend with a very similar body type - moon face with a large double chin, thinner arms and legs, major weight gain in the stomach. My friend convinced herself she had cushing's and sought out doctors until she found one who agreed to do surgery (eight specialists had done extensive testing and told her she did not have it). it did not help and left her with major health issues. I have a genetic disorder that usually shows in a particular body type. The body type alone does not meet the diagnostic criteria. So I am very careful not to ever diagnose people based on body type alone. The phrasing that stands out to me is "I haaaaaaaaave to do this." No, you don't have to. You choose to. It is still a choice as are most things in life. You want to do it. You see it as the best way to affect positive change in life. But you do not "haaaaaave" to do it. I hate the supposedly personal statements that are clearly prompted by the producers.

I skipped the Tea Leoni interview. I do not find her interesting or talented. In fact, I think she creates a talent sucking vortex that's makes everyone near her seem less talented.

The only reason I enjoyed the fish in the crotch story is her partner basically telling her to stop speaking to the camera and focus on the task. Race! The Not!Harvard! brothers showed the other issue for “famous” teams – stopping for a selfie with a fan rather than hustling to get a flight. You can disappoint your fans. They’ll understand when they see you on TAR. Dr. Dad is doomed racing with his daughter. She is a very special snowflake. She shrieked constantly, didn’t bring a swimsuit and was wearing false eyelashes. Her little performance when picking the fish off the sand at the speedbump was OTT. The greatest blessing in his life was when she moved out at an early age. He got to skip some years under the same roof. Is he doing penance for a crime he committed by running the race with her?

JenCarroll, my language would put others to shame.

Yes! A Dave Grohl sighting. Drink!

Perhaps Jesus took the wheel her voice at the same time?

So far this show is awkward.

Things I enjoyed: Korey and Tyler’s (and many of the other teams’) extreme joy at lighting the fireworks. I like seeing the teams enjoying the experience. Mass of mariachis. I would have liked it if they played different songs. Still found it fun. Some complex tasks that mixed up the order of the teams. Scott and Jessica rambling around looking for the drums. And their teammates cheering them on for things like digging in the pile of dirt. Scott, you’re an OB/GYN. Go to the hole! I did enjoy him saying “I have to go back to my box”. Yes, I am 12. As always, Phil. Things I can do without: “Are you the one not playing? Are you the one not playing?” Maybe if you STFU you can listen and find out who is not playing. Do you think the person is going to step forward because you asked? Jumping on the judges. Leave them alone. Anyone who explained they were going to use their sexuality/sexiness/looks to their advantage. Thanks for sharing such deep and important planning on your part.
