    Thanks.   Close.  Itis Toronno.  🙂   Or Trawna if you are hard core. 

    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.”

    Well, I happen to have just completed my PhD in Trashtastic Fake TV, so maybe I can help you out a bit. I'm not on DirectTV, I'm on Spectrum, but I think the titles and descriptions of the eps are put out by the networks, so they should all be the same.  

    90 Day Fiancé is the original recipe, but if you search your guide and click on that (with no "Before The 90 Days", : "Happily Ever After", etc), you'll see the episodes of the mother ship franchise, but Pillow Talk eps are grouped with whichever franchise the has-beens are watching. So you wouldn't see Pillow Talk have its own folder. Also the crappy clip shows [Famewhore 1 & Famewhore 2]: Our Continuing Journey or Our Journey So Far are grouped there. Oh, this week, looks like they're unveiling Our Journey Continues for Grangela and her captive. Perhaps that's what the unidentified eps you found were, SG11.

    The other FUBAR confusion they cause is that the other (off-night) versions of basically the same episode are listed under the main franchise too: 90 Day Fiancé: Extended (retired, I believe), 90 Day Fiancé: More To Love (previously called Extra Love...more fucking confusion 😡), 90 Day Fiancé: First Look. And don't get me started on how they are advertising More To Love as having "extra scenes" and lately they're aren't any.  OMG, I just heard myself saying this in my head and I really want  to kill myself for knowing all this.  Actually, I think back about those years going through this with the Shitney Show and the 1/4-Ton Show and I want to kill myself, be reincarnated, then kill myself again...twice.

    *puts the razor down*

    Anyway,  by their recent color-themed branding, you can tell Sharp& Co realize people are as confused as all hell. And if Original Recipe, BT90D, HEA, and TOW are considered the top-tier starting line-up, What Now?, Self-Quarantined are definitely the bench. And Just Landed, whatever the holy fuck that is (I absolutely REFUUUSE to get that desperate for content...that's like Nigerian Michael-level desperation), is like the kids playing in the parking lot outside. 

    Humble, I really don't have any useful knowledge left in my thoroughly-damaged brain. I don't even know what I'm doing in this hotel room....or why all the flags outside my window are blue and gold 🤔

    Note to self...Avoid saying the city's name when visiting Melbourne...too fraught with danger from ridicule

    New Orleans...Naw OR lins...flow without the spaces....but not trying to be a local... just not to hurt their tender ears when I refer to their hometown.

    The locals are very gracious people and would never be so impolite to point out your error...unlike Ashhat who was revengeful and rude to Avery because he was mad at her for clowning his seminar and his performance.

    San Francisco is never, ever San Fran.

    Say The City or San Francisco.

    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.”

    I run into this a lot when I try to catch up on shows. SO frustrating and a serious P.I.T.A.

    But if you have a cable subscription, you can go onto the TLC site, log in and catch those missing eps....actually, they have all the eps of all their shows online. Nice, but also an insidious plague inflicted upon the civilized world. I think I was exposed to this franchise around 2016, and I am ashamed to admit I went all the way back to DanYell and Mahammitt in S02

    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.

  4. 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?

  5. 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.”

  6. 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.

    Numerous countries and advocacy groups have current warnings (and some have for years) warning against travel to the US because of "gun culture" and racially motivated violence.  Mama is right to worry.

    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 would have thought after David presents his grand story about Lana and Her Fingernails, that maybe Darcy or Steph would have chimed in with a "LOOK AT MY NAILS.  I TEXT JUST FINE." 

    But we didn't get that because this season... we can't have a single redeeming quality about it.

    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.

    Those are relatively rare.  Much more common is putting out a sign with their name on it, and 99.9% of those will have that damnable misplaced apostrophe:  The Smith's.

     

    Hey now.  Somebody has to do it, and in this duo, it's me.  I don't mind it because usually it's the men who do it, and I'm all for reversing gender roles.  Plus I know that nothing anyone does in a campground goes unnoticed by neighbors, and I like messing with their minds.  They'd explode if they saw a young looker like Lana doing it.

     

    Just a data point--I didn't go through menopause until I was 60.  That said, I'm pretty sure that any baby I managed to conceive toward the end there would have been a real fright.  But there was still some plumbing hanging in there.

     

    Insert joke about borrowing some from Darcey.

     

    I agree that Tom wasn't being forthright, but if you have very marginal cell service, you can sometimes text but not call, because texts kind of queue up and can go out or come in when a signal shows up just for a little tiny bit, while a call needs a constant signal.

    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.

    If Avery's daughters ever lie to her, bet they will be put up for adoption the very next day!!

    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 Avery's concern with Ash lying about something so trivial.  BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER.  Why lie about the smallest of things?  BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH.  Been there, done that.

  12. 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.

    People who live in Kiev spell it Kyiv and pronounce it Keeev.   Kiev pronounced as two syllables is an anglicised version of the Russian.

    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 can't even imagine what Darcy sees when she looks into the mirror.  It sure as shit isn't what we see.  And at this point, what quality guy would be attracted to that?

    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.

    She wouldn't have to cab it. You can take public transportation from either the Odessa or Kiev airport. The last time we did it, it took us right to the city center in Kiev and cost less than $10.

    I don't think she's unattractive.  I just don't think she's that pretty. Her eyes are beautiful and she's got a great body.  However, I don't think she has the facial features that will age well.  To me, she's a hard looking 30.

    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.

    But Varya is thin, and she's younger than him. Those are the main online dating criteria for guys over age 35 like Geoffrey, Big Ed, and David. That's been my experience anyway. They would rather put up with the most horrible woman who never returns their phone calls and is scamming then for money than date someone their own age who wears a size 14. And they justify it by saying older women aren't active enough, or that they have "more in common" with younger women. They will never admit it's the trophy wife/sex thing that is motivating them, and the fantasy they have going in their heads that they're 20 years younger than they really are. 
     

     

    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.

    You know daddy's coming and probably momma too with her stilts, lol. I did like there act though.

    I hate the editing and cuts to the audience when I'm trying to watch an act on stage sooooo much!

    Did I miss something cause I swear after the magician (which I thought was pretty good) Simon said "you have your 3rd yes" and then he walked off stage. Did they not show Howie's vote or did I zone out?  

    The doggies didn't do much but that was a cute trick switching the large dog with the little one.

    Didn't they used to let us know at the beginning of the show which judge had the golden buzzer? Granted I started watching the year Darci won but I swear Tyra told us.

     

    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.

  18. 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?

  19. 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?

    I like my Altima so much that I'm shopping for a new Altima to replace my old, worn out Altima. I don't believe in wasting large amounts of money on cars. But that's just my opinion.

    Has anyone else noticed that they seem to seeking out creepier and more horrible people for this show, to the point that it's not as fun to watch anymore? There used to be mostly somewhat likeable people, and then one asshole. Now there are mostly assholes, and one sort of likeable person (Ericka). They need to revert to the old formula. 

    But even on a show full out assholes, Geoffrey stands out as a serious asshole. So does BabyGirl Lisa.

     

     

     

     

     

    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.
