Someone posted this on Twitter along with the comment "give the Canadian judge a gold medal" : (If I can find the original tweet I'll add the link.) edited to add: this is the tweet- https://twitter.com/njwiens/status/1493708934946988033?s=20&t=ACzFNKiWTaBXTaf_yfzVcQ

I know each sport sets its own requirements, but that's scary.

Absolute bullshit. I can't find any valid reason for scoring her that high.

I saw this on Facebook - I did not realize the bouquets the medal winners are receiving are hand-knit:

One thing I found interesting about Tara and Johnny's comments was they both blamed Kamila Valieva for taking a med that she knew was banned. I don't think they mentioned Eteri by name (although they may have made a glancing comment to "her coaches".

That VOX article is spot on; Here's another article: https://www.vox.com/22929275/kamila-valieva-trimetazidine-eteri-tutberidze-olympics-2022 I have shared it with a lot of people. Eteri should be banned from the sport.

I think if the veggies are prepared in the kitchen they would be ok. One of our local schools has a garden. I'm not sure if the garden itself needs to be inspected.

I love watching Jason skate, but come ON, Jason, you need that quad! I also want to watch skates with great music, and by that I mean something that makes me sit up and say "hey, this is fun!". I noticed a lot of the men's short programs used modern music this year. Leave the ballet to the Russians; let's see Broadway and jazz!

You can retain your US citizenship, but the US can still require you to pay income tax, regardless of where you earn the money.

Those are cooling towers, used in many industries, not just nuclear power. The location used to be a steel mill.

Different strokes - I love that commercial!

Agree! I don't want to have to do math in my head to figure out the GOE!

I would have liked to see the interpreter too, even if just for a minute, just because it would have been interesting. But part of the job of an interpreter is to be "invisible".

I wanted to see Al the next day. I'll bet he could hardly walk.

The "stained windows" are projections of some kind. They change show to show.

I love the "tiara" moment! "Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me!"

Seth really needs to listen to NPR - it's not just for "old people". No need to be snotty, Seth. I've noticed this too!

I wish they would settle on a way to display the running technical score. I think they should go back to showing the base score and GOE for each element and not this "base score and final score" or "max score and element score" crap. I don't want to have to do math in my head during the skate! And why should we have to see the max score? It's not like in gymnastics when you start with a max score and then make deductions.

I'm enjoying the extended interviews the last week or so. I guess they're having problems getting in-person guests, but it's working out as far as I'm concerned.

The plots are so awful, I've been concentrating on Becky's hair. She needs to lay off the bleach.

I think their app must use a lot of memory/resources. Maybe a design flaw, since I haven't had any problems with other streaming channels. I had problems just loading the HBOmax app on my Roku. I ended up getting a new Roku (moved the other one which was maybe 4 years old to a bedroom TV) and everything's been fine since.

Sorry, but I thought that coat was ug-ly. That little girl was awful, but I'll bet the actress was having a blast!

I thought at the end when it was confirmed that Alberta was poisoned, it would somehow fulfill her "destiny" or whatever and she would be able to ascend (or get - what was it? - "sucked off")

People on TV shows start home baking businesses but never have to deal with health department regulations. I know "it's only a TV show", but I have a friend who had to add an entire separate kitchen to his house to start his business. It could actually be an interesting episode to see them handling the consequences of a health inspection.
