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.

I had previous musical experience and I started playing french horn as a senior in HS. My mother wanted me to play flute (which I could) but there were 16 other flute players (same thing with clarinet). There were four french horn players including me and I rapidly worked up to first chair on some parts. I knew a guy that played contrabassoon in HS - he originally played bassoon and then switched to the contrabassoon if needed because not all orchestral pieces have contrabassoon parts. In fact, the contrabassoon plays super low, like a tuba part. I'm still wondering how they could afford to even rent a contrabassoon. Maybe cos they are always over eating Dan's food. BTW - fun fact - the "drum major" doesn't play the drums. It's the person who marches out front with the big staff that leads the band. (actually, our drum major was an oboe player lol) Maybe Whoopie was in the "drum corps" instead. Don't these writers look things up before writing their inaccurate scripts?

"Darlene said something like she tripled her caffeine intake because pregnancy made her tired so that’s probably why Harris popped out and walked or ran down the hall when she was born. It was more bad writing from people that apparently never watched the old show." Would it be so hard for the writers to at least have some kind of knowledge of the original show? and I actually enjoy Harris' snarkiness more than Darlene. I don't know who's writing Darlene's lines, but they aren't funny at all and are delivered in this deadpan way that doesn't even come close to Roseanne's delivery. Darlene just sounds petty and mean.

I had knee surgery (arthroscopic) and had a general and went home an hour after surgery. I'm pretty sure I didn't have any kind of spinal. And I'm way bigger than the average bear. I worked for an orthopedic surgeon for a while and he did lots of ACL surgeries on athletes and they went home shortly after surgery. Maybe because this guy was having some kind of revolutionary ACL repair (cos nobody can have a regular surgery at Grey-Sloan). Part of my annoyance was fixated on the fact that the football player was from Haiti but he flew all the way from Haiti when he was younger to play in Seattle? Hello? Hopscotching over the most obvious choice of Miami which is way closer? And I was also annoyed because when he spoke to his mother, they sounded like they were using Jamaican accents. I work with multiple Haitian folks and they don't sound at all like Jamaicans and vice versa. If they were going to "go there" and have somebody from Haiti, at least get the accent right.

So it must have been fun for Harris to hear how awful it was for Darlene after she was born. Nothing says "Hey, I love you" like hearing about how you've messed up your mother's life. That's some straight up Bev stuff. I really really really dislike Darlene. She has none of the humor and likeability Roseanne had. When did Jackie supposedly have an abortion? Could that have been Little Andy? LOL. Did she pull a "Bobby Ewing in the shower" deal? The event that shall be known as Bashing of the Men has begun. I remember when the OG Roseanne show started and Dan and other males on the show were at least shown as lovable men (even with their faults). After several seasons, it devolved into "Men are Dumb" show, where Dan was shamed and put down (and not in a jovial way) and of course, OG Mark turned from a tough punk with awesome mechanical skills to a total idiot. Now it's already happening with Ben. He needs to say NOOOOOO! in a loud and angry voice at these women who think he's their personal doormat.

Can you imagine getting a facial from Jazz? When I go to get any kind of beauty treatment (massage, pedicure, facial, etc), I just want to sit and DO NOTHING. I cannot fathom Jazz not chatting up the clients about HER issues and HER "advocacy" and HER "(fill in the blank)" stuff. Plus people who do facials have to go to some kind of vocational program and get licensed. That would require going to school. I'm guessing something as "trivial" as beauty school would be "demeaning" to such a special sparkly snowflake.

"Hi, here are my two oldest friends in the pool - and here are my new sparkly TRANS friends who I have to talk to the ENTIRE TIME while I ignore my old friends". I was amused and disturbed by her new friends who were getting Botoxed and boobed at such a young age, yet they were so judgmental about dating guys. And poor Jazz is just sitting at the side of the pool in the hot Florida sun burning up in her muumuu with her long hair and a full face of makeup with the two skinny model types. Why doesn't she buy some less billowy outfits that make her look frumpy and miserable? I have older grown daughters and I don't ever remember discussing their sex lives with them or other people (except for the contraception/STD speech). That Jeanette worries out loud about this is really bizarre.

Crossing my fingers that this is true. Bama just didn't get themselves together this year so finishing out the Sugar Bowl with Bryce and Will would just be the icing on the cake (a really flat cake that didn't rise to the occasion).

I have had two grandkids in speech therapy - one started at just about two. He had major ear problems and needed tubes. His parents were more middle class but they qualified for a special program through the local hospital system (not a Medicaid or special needs program, but something they applied for that gave them credit so they paid a small amount for each session). They both work full time and somehow found the time to bring him to sessions. Within just a few sessions. he was talking very clearly (after having only three words at his second birthday). They did work with him, but only about 15 min a day and he went once a week. It lasted 12 weeks. So there are all kinds of grants and programs so it can't be financial. I get so angry at parents who think "something is just going to pass on its own". Maybe back 30 years ago, but these days, early intervention is the key for helping kids with any sort of difficulty/handicap/challenge.

I didn't agree with this verdict. Kat of the RedAndSilverHairdo should have taken the bandage off sooner, even if the dog was ferocious (it was a Yorkie, not a pitbull). I've had dogs for years and even trimmed their nails (and had their nails trimmed). If the defendant had the bandage on too tight after the nail was trimmed, the plaintiff should have removed the bandage . At least half and half liability would have been more fair IMHO.

Maybe they have super hairy pits and don't want to catch the hair on the parallel bars. Maybe it's the stink factor as someone else pointed out. Or a cultural thing. Or a combo pack. I think swimmers shave because it offers less resistance in the water. I know they shave all over (legs, arms, back, chest, etc). Why not armpits since they might drag on turns.
