I think ABC would be crazy to continue to promote Gerry, as in putting him on Dancing With the Stars. He's a poor example of the Bachelor franchise. Plenty of couples have broken up, but not as spectacularly did they crash and burn like Gerry and Theresa. Big, fancy, televised wedding three months
(?) after meeting, then DIVORCE three months later. If they wanted an example of why this DOESN'T work, they have it. I wouldn't promote ANY of the players on that season, I would start fresh with a new group if they ever do another "Golden" season again.-

I'm recovering from knee replacement surgery and just started watching Suits on Netflix. For some reason I never watched it when it was first shown. I was a legal secretary before I retired so find it interesting/amusing.

To me what is really weird is that they threw in the towel so fast. And while saying they still loved each other. I guess neither one of them was willing to compromise. Of course, that is assuming where they were going to live was the problem, and I think there is more to this story.
I think the whole age thing is why these Golden Bachelor/Bachelorettes are a bad idea. Many older people are simply not going to want to pull up stakes and move. My husband and I are both in our early 70's. Every now and then we talk about moving from California to a less expensive state, or even out of the country. But I am not about to move to an area where I don't know anyone, at this age. I am not moving away from daughter, grandchild and rest of family. Not leaving a support system that may be needed if one of us gets sick or worse, dies.
All this being said, I think there is more to this story ...

Did anyone see the "behind the Rock the Block scenes" which was on HGTV yesterday, during the day. Just some extra glimpses of what went on during the filming.
You know, I have tried to like the twins. They're too goofy and over the top for me, although I think they have calmed down a little on their own show. But one of the behind the scenes showed them wresting in the mud outside the condos at night. Supposed to be a way they break the stress or something? I mean this was two grown women rolling around and wrestling each other on the ground in the mud. I'm surprised one of them didn't get hurt. It was pretty disgusting to watch, I only wonder what the others think of them.

His ignorance is infuriating. Hey asshole, just because you didn’t personally know of any school children that died from COVID doesn’t mean they don’t exist! And closing schools/going to virtual learning is what kept them safe!
His memory, like many others, must be short. I remember so clearly, back in late 2019 and then early 2020, Covid was first in the news in Italy, people were literally dying in the streets there. Then it was here, and hospitals were overrun. Portable morgues were installed in hospital parking lots. People were dying by the thousands every day, and there was no cure or vaccine. Remember all the people who had to go on ventilators? Obviously Phil forgets.
Some children may have suffered academically because of closed schools, but at least they are ALIVE. And him saying they were the least vulnerable. Guess what Phil, those children could have attended school and been little carriers of the virus home to parents and grandparents. Not to mention the teachers and other adults who had to run the schools! I guess Phil, like some other politicians, feels that they were expendable. Idiots.
Phil, your political leanings are shining through. I used to like him when Oprah first introduced him, I even bought his books. He is a charlatan now, similar to Dr. Oz.

The cabin episodes are boring. I guess they are trying to push their program about renovation on the mountain or whatever it is called, which I am also not interested in. I did watch the other night about the couple who were looking for a cabin for their family and LARGE extended families. Michigan, I think. Anyway, they ended up buying a compound, a large house with about 15 cabins. They kept saying, wow, we were just looking to buy a cabin but now we are going to be changing our lives with this compound purchase. They must REALLY like their extended families to buy vacation homes for them. For me, no thank you. LOL I told my husband if they buy that compound I am never watching this show again. Whatever! Why do I even care?

I know this is very petty of me, but it drove me up a wall when Helen was constantly holding her abdomen in this episode. We get it , you’re pregnant…she’s barely showing. Not once in my 2 pregnancies did I hold my hands like that, nor did my friends. If the baby was kicking, yes, but not the way she was doing it.
Agree! Also a pet peeve of mine. Pictures of pregnant celebrities on Instagram - they all do this. It's like, look at me! I think if I had walked around like that holding my belly, someone would have surely said, are you all right, is something wrong?

I was watching on Tuesday morning this week and twice Mika asked the guest a question that I was interested in hearing the answer and both times Joe jumped in before there was an answer to ask his own question, never mind hers. I can't imagine she wasn't irritated with him.

I missed half of the conversation because ABC over-the-air in northern Arizona bugged out in the middle of it. This happens often enough that I am beginning to suspect these outages are not coincidental.
Or join the military.
So true. I was just talking to my husband about this the other day. I think if you had some guarantee that you would not have to fight in a war and possibly die (which of course I know is impossible), going into the service can be a good thing.

I understand what Joy was trying to say, although she wasn't sugar-coating it at all. I'm sorry, when I was out of high school, there were two choices: Get a job or go to school. My parents would not have allowed me to stay at home doing nothing. I didn't have the luxury of worrying about what might happen out in the world. Most people I knew were in the same situation, we didn't have parents who coddled us, it was about survival and about making a better life for yourself, because the only person who was going to make that happen was you.
I have always liked Kamala Harris, I voted for her but I am kind of disappointed in her today and I get this uncomfortable vibe from the table. She seems sort of out of touch.

Having to watch it a day later on Hulu.
WTF is Sarah wearing????????????????? it looks like she has been put in some sort of solid cardboard sack & it's been pulled tight so that she can't move. Awful outfit whatever it's supposed to be.
I know! It was like a button down shirt with a tight brown strapless dress over it. Just weird! And looked so uncomfortable.
And I agree with the above comment re Sunny's outfit today! OMG! She looks like some kind of animal or bird or something - and the color blends with her hair, I don't even know how to describe it.
Do they have any say in what they wear or are they at the mercy of the stylist?

Interesting that Sunny likes to go out non-stop, every night. Maybe an exaggeration on her part. It comes across as kind of sad/pathetic in a way. It looks like a lot of these outings are without her husband. She admits to being very jealous. I guess he doesn't mind?
While on the subject of Sunny, I find her multiple earrings, or whatever they are called, distracting. It's like both ears are full of diamonds. How does she put them on? They look like something you would see in a sci-fi movie.

Speaking of missing people, where's the bubbly woman from the Netherlands who isn't Flor been?
That's Sara Hegger. She had moved back to the US but has now returned to the Netherlands and will be filming more HHI.

I agree that Ana has changed. There are a lot of comments on her Instagram and also The View's IG that she is being rude to Alyssa. She is becoming disliked.
I really liked her when she first came on The View and was happy that they made her a semi-regular. But in the last year or so she has irritated me with her belittling anyone who brings up a topic that doesn't interest her. Don't care about The Bachelor? Fine, keep your mouth shut and listen or don't. She's rude.

Speaking of Ana, am I the only one who thought she looked a bit more "refreshed" than her last appearance? Either that or her hairpins were in too tight.
She posted on Instagram (with lots of pictures) that she was on vacation in South Africa with her husband. Cruise, safari. Maybe she is just well rested.

It was nice to see a HH not insist on a separate room for guests, until it got to the part where if she did have a guest, they would have to use her bathroom to shower, and that was a problem. Unless she plans to have a steady stream of houseguests, I don't see this as a dealbreaker. I would think a considerate houseguest would not wait until you have gone to bed to decide to take a shower in your room.

I also missed Caroline Kennedy. I remember so well when Neil Diamond was honored and she said the words to "Sweet Caroline" when announcing the names of the honorees.
I really liked Dionne Warwick and Billy Crystals' segments. I thought Barry Gibb's was kind of meh. I kept hoping to see John Travolta show up! And the production number just ended so abruptly.

Today Show: Are you purposely trying to get me to stop watching you? The two-year old screaming "Sunday! Sunday!" over. and. over. And then Al Roker having him come back and do it AGAIN during the weather report. Sorry, it's too early in the morning and I haven't had enough coffee to get me through that.
Mind you, I like kids. But this show is becoming increasingly ridiculous and seems to be a vehicle to push their latest song, books, etc., etc., etc.

I think Jesse saying we would be "stunned to the core" by the announcement was a little over the top.
Watching GMA right now.

I figured something like this would come out. Nobody is that perfect, but lying about it? You know it’s going to come out and you’ll end up looking worse.
It’s so disappointing! I’m hesitant to tell my husband. He really likes this show and is going to be crushed!!!! 😉
Same here! This is the first Bachelor show my husband has watched with me. Now I will probably never get him to watch again.

Wow, I just read the article! What a jerk, and an idiot too for not realizing the truth would come out. Apparently ABC did not do a good enough job vetting him.
I don't recall, did he stay in the house he bought with Toni, or did he sell and move to a different lake house?

OMG, Marlo Thomas. She has done so much good for St. Jude's Hospital - but what has she done to her face? I saw her this morning on Today and she looks horrible. She has had so much facial surgery that she is unrecognizable. Her nose - is has a Michael Jackson look about it. Why cannot people just accept aging gracefully, why do they want to ruin their appearance?

You know, like many of you, I watch plenty of CNN and MSNBC. I am exposed to what is going on in the world currently. I welcome a little relief from talking about the news - The View spends a lot of time talking about politics and current events and I like that. But there is nothing wrong with a little light topics here and there.
I have a SIL who is not on any social media and only watches British TV programs. She rolls her eyes if you talk about anything else, she knows almost nothing about pop culture - oh and she lets you know it is beneath her. Frankly I find that behavior boring and rude.

House Hunters - General Discussion
in House Hunters
The Florida nudists. I really hope this won't be a new trend for HH. I really didn't enjoy seeing naked people looking at houses. Some things I don't understand about nudists:
1. How do the women play games like tennis without a bra (they showed some naked people playing tennis)? Hurts just thinking about it.
2. OK - maybe TMI, but I would not want someone sitting their bare butt on my couch. And then I sit my bare butt in the same place later? Eww!! So unsanitary! And don't most people have a little "leakage" here are there from body orifices? How is that handled?
The HH woman liked all the windows in the bedroom because they don't want or like privacy. Sounds like they are not just nudists but exhibitionists. Interesting too that they were "empty nesters" but no mention anywhere of wanting a space for when their kids visit. Personally, I would have NEVER wanted to see my parents naked and maybe their kids feel the same way.
