SG11

I understand they didn’t actually show that, which is why I said in my original post that this version of events has not been disputed by anyone. 2 people who witnessed it, Deaven and Elicia repeated the same story and Jihoon, tearfully apologized for it. If Jihoon said anything like, “that’s not what happened” then I would say the facts are in question and agree we don’t know that Jihoon did anything wrong. However, from what we know, a reasonable person would go by the facts presented and his acceptance and remorse for those facts...that he was running for the child, Deaven yelled at him, and this stopped him in his tracks to respond to that instead of continuing after the child. In the above is true, then Jihoon most definitely is responsible for dangerous behavior, regardless of all the other noise and idiots who surround him. Those specific acts are what Elicia is screaming about, and I would do the same if he ceased to chase after my child and instead chose to argue in the street.

I said it already. He was chasing the little girl who was running in the street. He stopped when Deaven yelled at him and yelled back instead of getting the girl. The Gramma had to grab the girl... that’s why she was so mad.

How are people giving Jihoon a pass on this? They aren’t blaming him for the crazy little feral running off. The story is, and no one is disputing it, Jihoon was the one chasing Dracula as she ran down the street, Deaven was screaming at Jihoon as always, and then Jihoon LOST HIS MIND and stopped running after the kid in the street and chose to TURN AROUND and bark at Deaven about being yelled at. Now Deaven and her Mom are both shrews, but how anyone could blame anyone other than Jihoon for what Jihoon did (except maybe his Mom who raised him) is beyond me.

I’m pretty sure I’m not going to reiterate this point any more. I’m shocked at the level of misunderstanding of this point I made. I made a joke about after a season of 4 non US judges and a bunch of non US entrants, this year we had an entrant performing from another country. Ever since there’s been one post after another reminding me that there was a US judge for 1 day this season and that the last straw verbiage apparently was too strong an expression. Please disregard this post.

I think Gabby was from Saturn.

That’s right. I was talking about the usual 4 judges, including Simon. Its a pretty common observation that America’s Got Talent has no US judges.

Lol, that was me too. I thought the kid was far better and the judges reacted strongly to him, but then I still felt that the judges would just pick the kitschy chubby girls because the Taiwan issue was too much trouble. Last night was the last straw... all non-US judges, contestants full of non US people... and last night a contestant not even performing in the US. America’s Got Talent all right. Pretty awful season.

I think if you are talking about talent and quality, and actually being judged rather than the results of a suspicious voting system, it was a shocker. That kid was waaaaay better.

No real surprises. The one oddball was the chubby girls over the uke kid, who was far, far more talented and entertaining. The girls basically do a drag queen show every time, except they are actual heterosexual fat girls. Not seeing the point. However, I expected the choice to go to them over the kid from Taiwan because I can’t imagine the annoyance on dealing with the kid over there for AGT. There barely 5 acts that were worth sending through, yikes. Innocence Project guy’s story wins the day. Just put him in the Finals so we don’t have to hear the judges pretend he’s a great singer too. The little girl has a great voice but I hated her song choice. Same with Shaquira. Michael Yo must have a bunch of favors in his pocket in the business. He is absolutely horrible. He’s not remotely funny at all, and some of those stupid comments like “men can’t do that‘’ have been repeated since the 60s. Bad delivery, stage presence, horrible sob story. He was worse than the pigs and the contortionist doing the same move over and over. Even Mat Franco wasn’t very good. Very weak show. And the acts for next week look worse! Not a Kelly Clarkson fan, but she actually offered some insightful, useful analysis and observations in her comments. Very odd for an AGT Judge. Heidi looks like she had a bit of refresh job done. She looked great. Feel better Simon.

I think I could agree with you and still maintain my point. I wasn’t making a blanket statement about his ethnicity (although it sounded like it), but I’ve worked with that FBI list a bit and his face really does look a lot like someone that used to be there. I considered posting his and that guys picture side by side, but decided against it. I think it’s fair to say he is a very typical looking of a Jordanian Arab, although certainly very much on the attractive side.

Kind of a dull group this time. Jenny and Submit and Jihoonie and Deavan’s Thigh Tattoos are the same dull story they were last season. And if the editing was so fake that DeavanDog wasn’t really taking about Jihoonie’s peepee, then this show is too dishonest. The couple I don’t understand is Britt and Yaz. Yaz has some strong interesting features for sure, but looks way too much like a couple terror bombers from the FBIs Most Wanted List too long ago. Britt seems like someone just hit her in the head, like she just suffered a concussion. And the scary part is... she talks exactly like her Dad. Half smile, devoid of Uh, anything. Dull affect, nervous laughter because she knows how stupid she sounds. Clearly an alcoholic. And I cannot believe someone spends the amount it costs to surgically add 65 pounds of fat to her ass. O.M.G. Anyway, she’s having to decide when to tell Yaz about being married. But Yaz and his Dad know she was married, at least. She is an American girl with her own culture and she respects all the Muslims but is not interested. Yaz on the other hand feels she is planning to convert and is ready to marry within the first few days. He thinks he can please his off the charts Dad. Um... have either of these 2 people even spoken to each other? The US/Muslim culture clash is always a train wreck, but this one has 2 people who seem to have absolutely no idea that the other one has the exact opposite expectations of Britt in Jordan. It’s weird.

We binged The whole 20 episodes and tell all’s in a short time frame to get caught up with this season. Sorry to be behind the curve. Im about a third of the way through this combined tell-all thread, but I need to say stuff before my addled brain forgets them. I may have to adjust when I’m done reading. Anyway: Trying not to repeat stuff people have said, but: Tiff and Ronald: Totally agree this was a plan all along. Completely broke in a foreign country with no employment prospects for either. Yes, let’s get knocked up. All the excuses to leave SA were painfully obvious setups for “reasons” they have to live in US. Tiff is such a haughty 16 year old know it all. She talks down to everyone. I do not understand how this morbidly obese, bare shouldered makeup machine gets the gravitas to talk to everyone the way she does. And while Ronald is his own bag of shit, I wonder if he really thought that Tiff agreeing to stay with him and support him included the fact he was required to hang on the cross and bleed during her daily repetition of everything she has to deal with because of him. She’s friggin horrible. Corey and Ev. From the beginning I thought they were a set up. I still think much of their deal is something they were in on from the beginning. Did anyone ever comment oh the huge sign next to the cocktail bar during the renovation with Corey and Evs pictures on it? Obvious reason to be on TV. Her cold snake act just seems like a put on. Half the time she’s laughing when she says those things. And is it physically possible to be as dim and helpless as Corey? I was emotional at his Dads death, though. And it’s funny to me that so many people Rag on Evs looks because they hate her so much. Her figure is incredible, just impossible, and most men anywhere would get dizzy if she talked to them, and her face continues to be close to model -level even with absolutely zero makeup. I can’t imagine if she was prepped for a real movie role or something. Jihoon and Goth Girl- this couple simply doesn’t bother me at all. Jihoon is a hoot and after the girl got over her pregnancy emotional outbursts, I liked her too. They are cute together, and she’s another one that’s very attractive, except for the awful thigh tattoos. She has a lot of different looks, but the dark hair, dramatic makeup look can be stunning. Seriously needs a teeth whitening. Laura and Bad Sex Muslim- this was a simple financial transaction. Great looking Muslim man looking for Sugar Mommy with deep purse. Another fat old white lady searching for young stud. She punches 3 levels above her weight class while Muslim gets paid. Muslim puts up with horrific repeated public examples of disrespect, included the embarrassing sex insults that no man would put up with, let alone a Muslim man. Fat old lady runs out of money. Muslim guy runs. No shit, Sherlock. One more thing. I’ve been shocked at the complete pass this creep Liam has received the entire season. I’ve read people fawning about how wonderful he is. I thought from his opening scene with that half-crazed 24 hour grin that he was at a minimum a jerk, maybe psychologically broken and at worst dangerous. Turns out he’s a pathologically developmentally disabled child who could not get past not being Mommys full time only baby. His maniacal leering smile and laugh while dancing on his Mother’s tears at the tell-all made him the most revolting character on this series in years for me. He look like a psychopath torturing pets in the basement. Pole. Not sure what else can be said, but I still don’t understand how she can talk to other American men on the phone constantly and when he asks her about it she tells him to f-ck off and he is made out as some sort of abuser. She is not blameless. Jenny From the Block and Submit. I’ll go against the grain and say her helpless, delusional dope act doesn’t bother me. She accepted his catfishing and lies from day one, and while most normal people would run upon hearing he was married, I think the fact it’s arranged and he has stayed with her this many years tells me there’s actually something between those two. Him going on TV to force the issue makes sense, too. What does she have to lose staying with him now... other prospects? Lol. And I think her 6 months there were not a total disaster. She probably had the best 5 months of her life. And call me weird, but the lesbian daughter has a lot of different looks, most not great, but she’s got some scenes that make her positively crazy hot looking, particularly with the red Tell All makeup treatment. Maybe once or twice, I think. And not telling your friends about it.

Catching up on these episodes, I’m surprised so many people don’t like Ev’s looks. I think she’s super attractive as well. I think people are put off by her meanness, but she’s crazy hot.

OK, I just started watching this season and the comments on Tim’s car are getting weirder and weirder, so I have to comment. The “small penis” one is the worst. News Flash, some people like nice cars. Im heavily into cars and I’m not apologetic about it. Tim is driving an early 2000’s Ferrari 360 Spyder. These cars did not change much at all over their run and the later versions (it might even be one) isn’t much different looking. I was shopping for a used Ferrari early in 2019 which is about right for the timeline here. It’s absolutely not a kit car. It’s not Lamborghini unattainable level either. I saw a car just like Tim’s, same color at the Barrett Jackson auction in Jan 2019 and it sold for mid $80s. TheY can cost a bit more, usually in better colors. I think the silver hurts the car; that’s why I didn’t buy it. I bought an even older Ferrari, a red 308. These cars are fun to own until you have to fix them. But Tim looks like he was going for as much bang for his buck in driving around in a car people think is much more expensive than it is. The car isn’t much more expensive than some loaded trucks you see in the road every day.

If you unexpectedly enjoyed them, check out S1 of the Netflix series “Cheer.” It’s only 6 episodes, I think. It’s the last thing I thought I’d like, but started watching it as background for working out. You really see how these kids are not cheerleaders, they are college athletes with the same drive, competition and training as any other college athletes. I loved it.

Post part 2 (I was interrupted) -Julianna is very likeable. And I buy her story about the family’s entitlement and jealousy. I’ve heard that over the years. Anyone ever notice the serious scars or burns on her left outside forearm and upper arm? It’s usually made up over, but you can see it often. Not that it matters, beautiful girl and seems legitimately nice. I like Mikes taste in Second wives and cars, except the Mustang. Nice GT though. -Why would his Ex-wife “get ordained” just to marry them? And why didn’t he ask that? -Anna and her Mom really need a volume discount at the “cut stuff off your face” shop. Wonder how much TLC got involved in writing checks to make that return trip happen and work out at the last second? -Sorry, Blake, but I wouldn’t sit through one if your shows, either. And did his Mom really think she would talk her into wanting to work? -Did anyone think the early season talk about Michael’s crushing debt was, like a lot? Didn’t it end up being 20k or something? - I have to think Syringe is in it for the green card. Why would anyone put up with that woman?

Just finished this series, watched the Tell All’s last night. When I’m not busy plotting what I’m going to do to Syringe’s horrible beast of a wife, I concoct long commentary that I want to say to Betsy. (note, I posted this in the couples, sorry) Shes a monster. Her hatred of Sasha is disgusting. She comes to the Tell all to take Green Card Shots and prepares cute little quips like “where did you get your degree in Nutrition, Google?” or, “you are confusing weight with health.” She bullies him with her ability to verbally joust in English. I’d like to see how glib she is fighting in a second language. Her cute little comments are excuses made by someone who hates the fat person she sees in the mirror. And the junk food that was supposedly set up by Production? Don’t tell me that’s not what she prefers. She hates the guy and uses “fat shaming” her sister as an excuse to be a litttle troll. Oh, and PS, I’m guessing he actually did acquire enough knowledge about nutrition while becoming a personal trainer and building that body of his... quite a bit more than Betsy Burrito knows, I imagine. Emily seems seriously unhappy with her post-baby body. It happens. Looking at her skinny self pre- baby, not a shock. He is not shaming her, he is trying to help her. I’ll bet lots of women who want to shape up after a kid would love to have a real Personal Trainer to help. I think that someone here might be on to something in that Emily might actually have had trouble with weight in the past, and it’s clearly in Betsy’s vested interest that she stay fat like her. Other observations: -when they asked Michael’s kids who they liked best, I immediately said the little girl will say Natalie. She was instantly obsessed with the new beautiful model stepMom and there was no doubt she would go for the other beautiful girl on the show. And I’d said previously that the boy will be a Mayor somewhere someday... then he came on stage and started shaking hands with people... wow. -Sean still stinks. -Angela is horrible trash, but the Danielle/Babylove/Angela old fat White Lady beast storyline has to stop. -I hate Taniawoke more than anyone today. She’s a horrible selfish, tone death, narcissistic, SJW, thoughtless ass. The soulmate thing wasn’t as important as her pure refusal to have one second’s thought about her man’s feelings. Right up through that episode. Hate. Her. -Blake is mindless, what does he get out of that relationship? However, what bugs me most is his 2 friends... why is this so important to them? They whine and moan and cry about her lack of interest in kissing up to them and being friends. sorry, but a person would need to demonstrate to me once that they weren’t interested in my friendship and I’d never give it another second’s thought, ever. -Natalie, for all her stunning looks, is batshit nuts. But Michaels bobbing his head and mumbling and not explaining anything the last 3 episodes was not interesting. - I love Anny more every time I see her. I agree with her in every dispute. The guy offered to buy her clothes and takes her to Goodwill. He takes her to look at an apartment and then says he just signed a lease once they go to close the deal. He lies about his kids and keeps old girlfriend photos on FB. Roberts’ relatives and the kids GP’s are horrible idiots. She absolutely loves his kid. I’m Team Anny all day long.

I was hoping someone would respond to this so I wouldn’t have to. Hopefully the person or 2 who insist Nat is unattractive is a female, or at least needs a new TV.

...and all the judges.

Pretty dull episode. It was interesting that the judges sat so close together, that there wasn’t much in the was of distancing, and obviously this was before the experts said you should wear masks, no you shouldn’t, yes you should... what is it this week? Anyway, the cheer squad. After watching that Cheer show on Netflix I have a respect for what athletes they are. On the other hand, watching this group I could say they were very good, but much like the huge dance troupes that aren’t terribly different than 20 other dance school groups, I don’t know that this cheer group was any better than another 10 good cheer groups that compete against each other every year. Neither belong in AGT. Piano/drum kid was OK, not great. The drum playing was hard to hear, the background music was awful, and it had no connection to the piano at all. And when he recited the DSM diagnosis he was so attached to, Im guessing the “NOS” (Not Otherwise Specified) was not remotely necessary. Actually, I felt like the cello kid was on the spectrum too, the way he was acting. He wasn’t all that good. I liked the country girl singer, felt bad for her family and her likely Survivor Guilt, but I was hoping she would be better. The comedians.. sorry, not all that funny. Michael was OK, but almost too polished. Liked him even less when I realized he was on that show with that horrible Chelsea Handler. The female was marginally better, but her material wasn’t original and weakly executed. I agree with others, with all the race stuff going on nowadays, people have lost the ability to laugh at that sort of humor. People are just joyless now. I felt bad for the comedians as the empty building seemed to hurt them the most. The unicycle kid was boring. Did someone say this was the first time Simon said he knew an act from Britain’s Got Talent? He’s done it several times, most notably with the brother /sister roller skate act. I actually loved the Olympic girl. I hate sob stories but that one hurt. She was a good enough singer and I think her and her story would have brought the house down. I thought she or the blind family girl singer would win the GB. And the GB? That one wasn’t hard to predict, particularly with Simon’s lawsuit. It was kinda boring... I can’t get into that beatnik/slam routine. Not interesting. I guess the GB fits so he doesn’t have to come up with a new routine as quickly. Oh the harmonica guys were bad. But not as awful as the magicians... wow, they sucked. Pretty bad show overall. Wonder what kind of blowback Terry Crew was getting for his BLM Tweet?

The people watching from my couch agreed that this episode simply contained more talent than usual lately. There were a number of decent acts, less horrible sob stories than usual and less stupid overstated commentary. ‘Less’’ not ‘no.’ One awful comment was Howie calling the little girl a “star.” She was good, and oddly, age-appropriate sounding as opposed to the staggering voices some of the kids have on this show. Not great, just good. The Queen dancer was very athletic and professional, but he also showed exactly everything that the fat girl from a couple weeks ago didn’t have... dancing talent and technique. He was polished and tremendously talented as opposed to that girl would couldn’t lift her leg over her waistline and made a bunch of fake hand movements instead. She is such a phony it really bugs me. I lived Shaquira, I liked her personality, too. I agree with the comment that Simon acting like he never judged people for being fat makes him a liar. I also couldn’t keep from thinking if a country person was singing a soul sing how many people would complain about “Misappropriation?” Hate that word. The comedian was good. Liked his low key style. Loved that magician. Great stage presence. The X kids weren’t that good, but they gave so much attention to camera angles that didn’t include the performance, maybe I missed something. Loved the contortionist group, although there’s a lot of that now. Hated the “rapper.” I liked the Nashville guy’s rendition of the Lady Gaga song, but it was too bad the producers, again, felt they needed to spoon-feed that info to the audience with Simon’s comment. The guy flying in the silks did a nice job, and it was cool he was brothers with the Deadly Games guy. Other thoughts: How many times do we see Terry with the shirt off? Is there anyone that doesn’t know that he’s built like that? On the other hand, Sofia continues to show why she was the best idea the show has had in a long time. She is just great. And it’s too bad the judges can’t just “judge” without the boring, “everyone is a star” BS with the occasional “no” vote by the designated meanie of the day.

Understood, but it doesn’t explain the reaction he had to the screaming match. He was hitting himself. The input was maddening. Autism.

We have been catching up with episodes and just finished S6. I couldn’t help but watch Asuelo during the wild blow up at the Tell All and he seemed so disturbed by the competing noise that he was hitting himself in the head and was freaking out. Ive gone back and forth about whether I think he’s DD, but now I am sure he is in the spectrum somewhere. That was classic behavior.

I thought the Pinocchio dancer was OK, not great. Some overused robot moved added to a couple overused contortionist moves. Suicide singer was OK, not different than 100 guys who sound like that.nthe sob story was a minus. The Bronx dancers who were offended when called break dancers were good, not anywhere near the reaction they got good. I said to my wife, “think Simon picks them as GB because he’s got a racism lawsuit against him? Wife says noooo, not this soon in the show. I hate knowing what’s gonna happen. Oh Simon, you’re so woke. I loved the indigenous singers. Interesting, original. I liked the sword swallowers stage presence. It was entertaining. The “go find another song” lie is insulting to the audience now. That little girl did enough to get yeses before he stopped the first song with the terrible stuff that goes through. Mom did look jealous, though. Yo-yo guy... boring. Italian Barry White was alright. No surprise next time, though. Being from Boston, the comic only had to say a couple words and I knew she was from Mass, not to mention being named Hurley. I knew she would suck, but hoped she wouldn’t embarrass. Clunk. Stupid jokes about long marriage and kids, how original. Meow. Oh, no ones done that before. Then she blew that husband joke and completely lost her train of thought on the next joke. I felt bad for her. Every week I notice how much better the show is with Sofia. So much better than no-value Gabby.
