Red Bridey

Thanks, Raja! I remember that they (Lori and Charlie) were talking about some event on their way to that event, but I really have a hard time with most TV dialogue, and my closed captioning options disappeared when I upgraded my DVR (grr) , so I know I missed that sentence. I'll rewind twice, but after that, I move on and rely on recaps and you guys to figure out what I missed!

How did Lori (sorry, can't remember her name) know Brousseau? It seems like they knew each other when he went into the bar after he came "home," but then neither one used each other's name and their dialogue seems like exposition so then I thought they didn't know each other. I'm confused. Also, why was Charlie in Santa Monica? Wasn't it a school day? Field trip?

When all the other cooks had their husbands. boyfriends or fiancees come and visit, and all Paulie got was his PARENTS, I laughed, because of course that asshole didn't have a girlfriend. Who would want to date THAT? I choose to believe he said, "Glad to see you, but I'd prefer A girlfriend." I'm sure you would, Jackass. Keep dreaming!

Why did that family not take those kids out of that nightmare of a house? They should all be prosecuted for child abuse. If I saw my sibling shoot up and chew and spew in front of his or her children, I would pull them out of there so fast it would make your head spin. And I don't even like kids, but Jesus, this situation was indescribable. That girl child is going to be on the pole in seven years. The boy child will be a psycho. Husband is a dishrag.

I love this show! Don't have anything else to add, but it cracks me up on a regular basis.

I think Emily has a classic English Rose look to her; peaches and cream complexion, big blue eyes, yes, rabbit-y teeth, but cute. She seems very much of Ben's class, and the two could probably make each other very happy in that understated Upper Class way. But I don't care about "In Real Life," so I am not losing any sleep over this showmance/romance in any way.

Martin Sheen was miscast, and I do love Martin Sheen, but he was NOT Matthew. Richard Farnsworth was much better. I thought Marilla was fine. I thought Anne was fine. Didn't like the look of Gilbert, but was glad because he really didn't have a large part in the book, as Anne ignored/ghosted/"sent him to Coventry" for much of her childhood. I always loved that, because I'm redheaded Irish and can hold a grudge for decades (What's Irish Alzheimer's? You forget everything but the grudge!) And it missed a huge amount of the academic rivalry that drove Anne to beat Gilbert, but for ninety minutes, I guess it was okay. Anne Lite indeed!

Stuck on a beautiful beach in the Caribbean for an extra hour. The horror! The horror! I completely agreed when Kyle said something to the effect of, "Big whoopdedo." This is like the stupidest "crisis" I have seen. They weren't trying to catch a plane. There was champagne, I think. There was food back at the boat. They were in their damn Speedos. What important event were the guests missing? More eating and drinking. My heart does not weep for the inhumanity of it all. Dean Slover can shove it, annoying control freak. Can't imagine being around Mr. Big D on vacation. Or at work. Or at play. Or anywhere anytime really.

Thank you, MakeMeLaugh and fastiller! Just goes to show I am completely not "hip" to that music scene. Would be kind of ridiculous if I were, though! I do remember reading about the death, but didn't remember what group the singer was in!

Quick question re A Tribe Called Quest...who was on the painting they were singing in front of? Embarrassing question, I know, but I am an old fat white woman and there have been so many young black men memorialized in the past several years...

Did the Punctuation Princess like the SEMI-colon? Are we now pronouncing it smicoLON? I couldn't see that ugly tat/brand thing because of the #JEOPARDY hashtag that inhabits the lower left side of my screen, and I couldn't understand what the heck she was saying.

LPR green cards do expire after ten years, but your status as an LPR does not. Therefore, Jessica was NOT liable for deportation because her status is not contingent on the card. The government just wants a renewal fee and an updated photo. But it's a TV show so I don't take it as a documentary!

Thank you, Kimberstormer et al regarding the Legacy Advantage. Is this a new twist for this season, or has it been used before? As I said, I haven't seen Survivor in a decade or more.

I haven't watched Survivor in years, so I've actually been enjoying this season, more than I ever thought. But I don't understand what the "Legacy award (?)" is. I'm afraid I don't remember which Gen X woman has it. Can anyone fill me in?

I think Meghan played the Glamis bitches perfectly. She realized her actions were not playing well with the other ladies and made what appeared to be a "sincere" apology. I would have said the exact same words but in my head, I'd be going "la la la now Vicky, Heather and Tamra heard what they wanted to hear and I'm off the hook." I love Shannon for some reason. I used to like Heather for being articulate and well-spoken, but now I am ambivalent. I don't know why she'd expect or even think of asking Shannon or Meghan to visit Vicky...VICKY...at the ER. She knew that Shannon erected a wall against Vicky...as did Meghan. Sorry, Vile Vicky you shrieking harpy, you reap what you sow and you are on your own. Tamra, ugh. Kelly, double ugh. Vicky, I fast forward through every single one of her segments. Don't know and don't care.

What, no sympathy for Chrissy Fischetti, the world famous artist promoter, whose identity was "stoled" and her reputation "deframed" by her evil nemesis Julienne Beshere? Neither one of these Link'd In wonderwomen with their madd PR and A&R skillz looked like they could find their way through a regular telephone book.

How cute was the first Moroccan landlord (?) with his turban and his caftan? He was so adorable!

If he's a conditional resident, he doesn't have a green card. He's legally allowed to work, but he is NOT a legal permanent resident (green card holder). The conditional status lasts for two years following the wedding. The couple will be called in for a final interview, and if they fail to show or fail the interview, his legal status is revoked and he needs to leave the country. However, deportation proceedings are expensive and there are more dangerous criminals to pursue, so Mo would be a low-level priority. Like millions of others, if he keeps a low profile and out of the criminal justice system, he can realistically stay here for as long as he wants. Sad but true.

Nick is an idiot too and deserves all the heartache he'll eventually suffer!

No, Maria is just a big idiot and kind of selfish. Wait for the inevitable "Caz falls in love with Maria and causes no end of trouble for them both" plotline. I see her making the Street think Maria is crazy again so Maria is left without friends so that, bam! Caz can rescue her. And Luke will know, but won't care because Maria is kind of a selfish bitch. (BTW, this is pure speculation after decades of Corrie watching...I'm not spoiling anything other than clichés)

I noticed Bad Butt Lady's slightly crossed eyes too.

So what with the Olympics and some DVR issues, I may have missed an episode here and there, so why the heck is Kaz still around? Wasn't she supposed to be under court-martial proceedings? Doesn't this woman have any other friends (unlikely, I know, because seriously she is the most unpleasant, bitchy looking woman I've seen on my screen in many a moon) that she can kip with? And if she was under proceedings, wouldn't she be in the British version of the brig? The British Air Force just lets their soldiers run away and fake injuries with no consequences?

Thank you, editorgrrl. I guess I did not pick up on the nostalgic details in the commercial. I'll have to rewatch. Now I guess all I got is that Dad made bad food choices as a kid and passes them along to the next generation. [Confession: chicken nuggets and the sausage egg biscuit are the ONLY two items I will ever order at a McDonald's...and I have red hair, though mine is super curly]

There's a McDonald's commercial (for Chicken nuggets maybe) with a little boy and a little redheaded girl in split screens which baffles me. Does the little boy turn into the little girl's father? I thought the kids were friends, but it doesn't make any sense any which way.

Dancing vegetables and then dancing super models...
