SG11

I’ve played hockey a bit in TO and also with several players from there and it seemed like the locals called it “Tronno.” Maybe it was Trawna. My friend from Mississauga tends to say “fucking Leafs.”

You’re my new hero Trackdawg. And never, ever say “BAH-stun,” while in Boston, in a cutesy attempt at mocking the local accent. Hint: there’s no “r” (‘ah’ sound) in “Boston” so make fun of another word or phrase like “Park the cah.”

Oh, don’t feel bad. We went back and started watching 90DF from season 1E1. We got to Season 5 (I think) and for some reason (on Direct TV) There were episodes of an earlier Happily Ever After or a Before the 90 Days mixed in the lineup and confused us. When we stayed with the S5 we were good until being unable to access the last episode before the Tell All’s. (e12). I still don’t know what the others eps were. Worst of all, so many of the couples are repeated in so many of the spinoffs, I cannot figure out everything we haven’t seen! Masters Degree and I’m too stupid to figure out which 90 Day junk TV episode to watch.

I’m still trying to unpack the idea that David actually criticized Yolanda for getting involved with someone she hadn’t “seen.” David- spent $100k “talking” to a language interpreted “person” online, only. This person was matched to pictures of a local professional model who had multiple profiles and names at multiple sites. Yolanda- also “talked” online, to a “person” matched to pictures of a professional model who had multiple names and profiles at multiple sites. However, she actually spoke to a human voice for many hours, apparently. In English. In the final Catfish Championships Analysis, I give the win, by a whisker, to Yolanda. What was David’s point there? Did I miss something?

We actually picked up this series about halfway through and followed it to the end. Last night we started over from E2 (E1 wasn’t available on demand, much like a handful of other episodes) just to see the setups we missed. It was very interesting to see some of these people early, further confirming that on this show it’s routine that people wind up at the end being far different than your first impression. One thing stuck out though... when Baby Girl Visa was explaining to her friends where she was going in Nigeria, her friend immediately Googled the city which came back with enormous reports of murder, violence and kidnapping. But regardless of that reality, we will still hear about Usmans “risk” of being shot In the US for no other reason than his race or the US “gun culture.” What is the point of the mayo? Ive been dyeing away the grey with Just For Men for decades and I’ve never felt the need to add salad dressing to my head.

I hate to sound late to the party as I’ve been watching AGT forever, but this episode was the clearest, shining example that this show has gone from an interesting talent show with many interesting contestants of varied ability to the biggest fake, packaged, staged piece of shit ever. Used to be we all complained about all the sob stories. Now if you pay attention, it’s all the fake stories. It was interesting when the show showed the judges going to all the different cities and some of the terrible buzzed acts along the way. Then that disappeared because apparently someone got their feelings hurt. Ever since, the handful of buzzed acts are staged, paid, terrible fakes. Insulting. Ever since the first “Champions” spin off, it’s obvious AGT is going to present how they want acts presented and rig the results the way they want them. I’m not sure if they are feeling pressure because of stuff like Gabby’s lawsuit, but it’s all too much. The fat dancer was horrible. Fat or no fat, she’s a terrible dancer with repeated hand movements because she can’t lift her leg over her waist level. That she has performed professionally extensively is 1. Proof the show lies about who the contestants are for content value, and 2. The extent that pandering to certain demographics is as bad as we think it is. After reflection and hearing about Heidi getting roasted on Twitter, it’s painfully obvious that entire Shaw was staged, that Heidi and the far girl and Simon were all in it, that her comments were scripted, that the fat girl gets a ton more exposure and gets to talk about her cause and Simon gets to look like PC boy. It’s nauseating. There was a day when that little girl who sang like professional 40 year old would have brought the house down. Now, too white, too normal, too thin. Easily the best act of the night, possibly the show so far. People talking about the “Sexualization” of the contortionist need to get out more. The woman who won the GB wasn’t bad although I wasn’t interested in her multiple song choices. How does someone like that admit that she does “body sculpting” though? This was an example of someone I was glad won the GB because I won’t miss her extra performance. I did win a bet with the wife though... when the clips showed her probably 15 times by the time she sang, I said she was the GB a few acts before she even performed. Wife thought it would be the masculine female singer who aspired to be a cop (gasp!! Oooh!) she had a good voice. Old guy saved his audition with late excellent material. He almost sunk. the latest India act with $20,000 veneers even though they are from a poor village, meh. The 3 singers who were over hyped to the Max were OK, not great. Poor barbershop guys out there to be made fun of. Not sure why anyone liked the idiot fake magicians.

Excellent points.

Of course, the truth is the “gun culture” they worry about is a very, very large section of people that are extremely responsible and legal gun owners who threaten no one. And I’m going to guess Usman’s chance of randomly being shot simply for his race alone is not as high as some people will say.

I remember earlier in the Tell All that they showed the video of Erika deleting her dating app after Steph had a hissy fit over it... I couldn’t help but notice how long erika’s nails were and how easily she manipulated the phone (because that skill is so important in 2020). Then David’s comment sounded even more ridiculous to me.

My life is complete. There’s another human being on this planet that knows that stupid apostrophe does not belong in the plural of last names.

I think the opposite. She was lied to by Ash about every single thing that came out of his mouth, big or small, and at the end it was Ash who supposedly broke it off for good, while Avery still waffled with another “break.” She was so sharp and asked all the right questions and was concerned about all the right things and it was proven her concerns were totally valid and moreso. And yet, she always let him get away with it at the end she never flat out broke it off with him. Suprisingly weak for a “strong woman.” She needs Rose Lessons. I completely understand and agree... my problem was that Avery never articulated her issues with Ash’s lies, big or small.

Ed and Tom sounded like they were auditioning to be on future shows. Good, asshole, whatever you need, TLC. Rose did sound suspect the more she talked. Darcy is pathetic. Davids biggest problem is there’s so little movement in his story, theres not enough tape in him. So everything is repeated and drawn out. Dull, stupid. How are you engaged but not together? And how does Shaun not ask that question and 100 other obvious questions she didn’t ask? I felt bad for Erika. She managed to get outlawed and bullied by Steph the Sociopath and her 2 beastial friends. The one drunk woman... did she say it’s because she’s Italian? No, we don’t act like that. Erika really needed to stick up for herself better. Good for her to say there’s no way she would be friends with that jerk. Speaking of not getting her story out there, Avery, what’s up? You had every opportunity to explain your point and you babbled and stumbled over a diet. She was so cool and composed most of the show, but when she was in the spotlight she choked and wasn’t prepared. How hard is it to say “Bug Eyed Sex God lies to me every single time he opened his mouth. Here’s 10 examples.” Ash is just horrible. And while Tom is a dope, yeah, I’d call Avery, too. Lisa is a monster. Usman never did get to ask his question.

Yes. Everyone in the US calls it a COOON-Taash.

Makes sense, thanks everyone for the answers. When I first went to Italy, I found out I’d been mispronouncing my Italian name (all 4 grandparents off the boat!) because my family was so used to anglicizing to help people pronounce it. I also found out no one in the US can properly pronounce “Countach.”

This is probably the best post out of all the Darcy Face posts. You have to wonder what she (and her sister) sees when they look in the mirror. Sort of a reverse-body dysmorphia (seeing fat when you are thin) she seems to see better when it’s worse not unlike Michael Jackson. She and her sister were actually cute pre-surgery, and now she looks like that cat (lion?) lady they use as the picture of the worst extreme plastic surgery disaster ever, also like Donatella Versace. And I am not anti plastic surgery at all, it’s just here you have 2 people literally making themselves into a disaster with each procedure, and acting as each other living mirrors by proxy. Stupid question... is it “KEE-EV” or “KEEEEEV?” I always thought it was the first, heard it pronounced that way on the show previously, but David and others were calling it Keev.

I think she’s very attractive and her accent pushes her over the top. However, I also agree that her features, while perfectly fine today, may not age well. I look at her mom and see the same face for V, and too soon.

A lot of guys prefer thin women, it’s not necessary that they be younger nor is it necessarily related to some perceived “fantasy.” It’s unfortunate, but preferring women that are thin rather than a size 14 isn’t an unreasonable preference IMO. Not unlike the fact that most women that I’ve encountered online usually have a preference for men who make plenty of money as opposed to those that don’t. It can be inconvenient for some guys, but I get it. As an ex-hockey player, I would have insisted that I go to her nephew’s hockey games. It wouldn’t have worked to get rid of me, lol.

I missed your note here about Howie. It was clear Howie hated the guy, I couldn’t wait to hear what he was going to say. They cut it altogether. As you state later, Judges cannot criticize anything anymore, and it’s odd that terminally lovey Howie is now the designated guy who makes one “no” vote every couple weeks. You are right they are no longer Telling who has the GB, but it you watch the clips at the beginning they show someone reaching for the buzzer at some point, so you know. Last week when you saw Terry it wasn’t hard to guess who he would pick.

I didn’t think this week was anywhere near as good as last week, although Sofia seemed more comfortable. The show is much better with her and Heidi. The drummers and divas were mediocre. Terry starts the silly talk saying they are one of the best acts ever. Both sets of young dancers were OK. I liked Usama but he seems like he won’t keep it up. The contortionist was excellent but the set up call was ridiculous. Loved the sisters, great job. The boy with the glasses was very good but his stage presence was everything. The opposite, the girl from TO was a train wreck but by far the best performer of the night. It seems odd when someone genuinely good actually wins the GB. I hated, hated her throwing in that bullying sob story BS. Tainted. Crazy guy at the end was entertaining I guess. The dog show with the lady in the silly outfit wasn’t very good. I was baffled by the CD magician guy when Howie clearly HATED him, didn’t even applaud... so they vote and they didn’t even acknowledge Howie comments or vote. He went through with 3 yes votes... what happened that they had to cut Howie altogether?

I thought she went hoping he’d drop an engagement ring on her. He did, and it was sold on the way home. Mmmm, pasta and rabbit for all!

My wife & I lost our minds at this scene and it wasn’t even mentioned in Pillow Talk OR this thread yet? Where IS everyone?

OK, help me out. Earlier post suggests Baby Gurl Visa now has to file for a K1. They are married, not engaged, so that’s not right, right? Is it a “spousal visa?” I hear, takes 6 months? If this is true, why would anyone file for a K1 that takes 9 mo to a year, which has delays and then there’s 90 days in US? If someone gets engaged, why don’t they just go to the other country, get married, then go for the spousal visa?

Total apologies, obviously others understood your reference. I thought you were referencing another poster who was an unpopular braggart or something, that’s on me for making assumptions. I have not seen the episode with Michael/Juliana. Again, mea culpa. 🤐

I agree on Geoffrey and BabyGurl Visa, but I disliked the 2 of them from the opening bell. The guy who have developed to me is David. I couldn’t decide if he was stupid or clueless or what, but with each recent appearance it’s clear he’s a bit nutty and as others suggested, maybe dangerous. When Lana finally cuts him loose, I can see him chloroforming her and locking her in the little cell he’s built in his basement... later I see him talking to her like they are a married couple in between the assaults and years of imprisonment. That one is ready to crack. Im most disappointed in Avery and Varya as they both asked the right questions and did their due diligence and figured out the guys they were considering... and now seem to completely ignore all the red flags and lies and everything else and are still in loooooove. Desperate? Stupid? Producer-directed? They need to go to Rose School.

Not sure who Michael is, but I can see how mentioning my cars would bother somebody. I was trying to make a point... that people who don’t like cars think people who do like nice cars are mean to servers and tip poorly. Sounds like petty envy to me. Sorry to upset you. I didn’t say their dumpy car was one of their problems. Their surgeons are their main problems. I said it was a dumpy car because, um, it’s a dumpy car. An Altima is “high end?” Whew.
