In his defense, Chris looked like teenage Donny. Donny's in his 60s now and he's obviously not looking like his teenage age, whether by age or cosmetic surgery. Gabriel SOUNDED just like Nick Cannon at certain times, which drove me crazy because I was trying to figure out who that voice belonged to. And the red herring for most of the Chris guesses was the dream coat. They were interpreting it as a fashion choice rather than a role Donny played. Nick Cannon wears a turban (i'm guessing because of his lupus) but not because he plays a genie on America's Got Talent.

I so thoroughly enjoyed this season. I think if they hadn't seen the Donny and Marie lunchboxes, Monay wouldn't have known Chris' identity (and going back to the 70s, at least at my school, there was a huge rivalry between the people who liked the Osmonds and the ones who liked the Jackson 5 - so for Monay and Gabriel to be guessing Donny Osmond was weird to me). And put me in the boat of those happy with a Gabriel win.

If anything, Laurence was the anti-peacock. There was no color in her outfit. So she did not understand/ execute the assignment. Prajje was getting a little weird with all the voodoo references.

I took my rescue dog to the dog park - all she did was run back and forth along the fence line trying to chase the cars that drove by (which apparently she did at her old house because they had a doggie door and she and the other dogs were left home alone all day and were bored). No interaction with any other dogs.

They said Curb Your Enthusiam but also SNL. I'm thinking Tim Meadows. I had to google it but Tim Meadows was also on Curb Your Enthusiasm at one point.

First of all, I absolutely LOVE this show. Second, how in the WORLD have they not guessed Chris yet? When I watched the first episode, I took one look at him and thought wow, they have an Osmond on the show! (although I am the demographic and remember my first concert was the Osmonds so that dates me). But Donny Osmond is a cultural icon, at least in my book. And I think Chris knows more pop culture trivia than he lets on - he wasn't in the bottom on the muddy trivia game. Have we figured out definitely who Monay is related to?

Oh no, they certainly can bleed and they have for me as well. (sorry TMI). I just wondered why she felt she had to choose that for her example. Imagine somebody sewing little irregular circles all over the front of the outfit and calling them their gallstones lol. Or some kind of ode to the shenanigans that women do post-partum that involve the lower area (don't wanna be gross but if you know, you know).

But then he said no save earlier on. Well, we shall see if somehow somebody gets saved along the way. At least he didn't save Hester lol. However, I shall gladly join the bandwagon of the NANP (No Anna's Nipples Please) brigade. I can't even figure out how that could happen and I was a BFing mom back in the day. What I think did Fabio in was that overlay he put on the top at the end. I didn't even see him working on it in the workroom. He might have not been ousted had it been not added.

THANK YOU! I kept seeing posters talking about it and all I could think of was "didn't they save no Siriano Save this season?"

SNL + CYE = JB Smoove - well shoot, he didn't even come up on my radar. I was thinking Tim Meadows. The whole Chris thing is just killing me. Or maybe it's because I'm old enough to remember his dad quite well back in the day.

"My husband did not beep-bop down the church aisle. If he had, he wouldn’t be identified today as my husband. As I said. Ancient. " PsychoClown, all I could think about when the groom was doing his groove thang was when American Bandstand or Soul Town would line people up on either side and the couple would make up some random half-matching dance as they boogie-sashayed down toward the camera (joining you with my walker and Werther's in the Ancient Society). I love reading all the lovable snarky-snark y'all have been putting out. I hope we shall meet again when JMM resurrects herself on whatever syndicated station she pops up on.

I'm pretty sure this is the type of surgery Jackson had: https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/family-resources-education/health-wellness-and-safety-resources/helping-hands/guided-growth-surgery#:~:text=Guided growth%2C or hemi-epiphysiodesis,one side of the bone. It can be used to stop the growth plates on the outsides of his legs from continuing to grow, so that the inner legs will grow and catch up. Once that happens, then growth plates can then be started again. It might not be noticeable by the naked eye for a while, but the orthopedist will be doing x-rays and measurements. I worked for a pediatric orthopedic surgeon for five years and there were a lot of non-dwarf kids with bowlegs that had this surgery. It does take time for the bones to catch up.

And I actually had the boo-hoos during this episode. This was the first episode where I wasn't dissecting it like a frog (**waves at Old school Becky***). Yes, there were parts that were unrealistic (no scholarship for the honor society?) and the writers' memories of the original episodes, but the cast acted the heck out of the show. Maybe I boo-hooed because this episode was more palatable than the rest of this series and Darlene really didn't irritate the crap out of me this time. And Ben's eyes were full of tears and that gave me alllllll the feels. . . . See ya in September.

Besides the whole "family rags" situation, I know a person whose family places all their used TP in a separate small container lined with a plastic bag which is then removed and thrown out later. Yes. But I cannot imagine the plaintiff being organized enough to have a separate use container (with a lid). And her buggy eyes are probably glued open from the fake eyelash glue.

"I work for a top level university and I would tell ANYONE who has a kid looking at college to seriously consider the two year community college route and then transfer to a four year to finish a BA/BS. It’s insanely cheaper, you can usually get your general requirements out of the way, and no one looking at jobs (unless you are in a VERY specialized field) will care you went anywhere else - your diploma would still ultimately read the four year university. " I will attest to this as well. Daughter #1 did dual enrollment and earned college credit in HS - got a scholarship to CC for two years (with Honors so she got money for books as well), got her AA and then transferred to a 4 year under the Honors program and graduated with her BA and NO debt (she did work part time for car payment/insurance/ incidentals. Daughter #2 took a different route but ended up at CC and got her AA in Nursing (had to pay but got piecemeal scholarship that paid for almost her entire tuition and books - it helped that she worked in a hospital). She is now an RN and makes BANK. I think she only graduated with about $2000 of debt (doesn't want to get a BSN because she doesn't like administration stuff). D1's Honors English teacher told me that many professors would rather teach at the CC level because the classes are smaller and they get more significant interaction with the students, so at least at our local CCs, the teaching staff is excellent. Plus my kids lived at home and again saved a bunch of $. FWTW, the whole contrabassoon story line was so incredibly dumb and inconceivable that Darlene being humiliated as a lunch lady is a step up. But she has to put that hair in the hairnet cos that is seriously gross.
