BoogieBurns

I watched one episode last night. After seeing her documentary, I was looking forward to a new Paris. But nope. She's still faking it. The locked secret passageway in the penthouse library was the most awkward romantic gesture I have ever witnessed. He flew her out just to see where Marilyn would go... and she can't even see it. Carter is terrible on camera. That's usually a good sign for a celebrity spouse. But he's so boring. It's awkward, pushing those bikes on the beach as they read their lines about how they both think its too good to be true? Puke. For those who have seen more episodes, does Nicole Richie ever show up?

I was the Courtney of my class. Admin kept trying to make me skip a grade, but I liked my friends too much. And yes, I corrected my teacher's math when she was wrong. She was mad and embarrassed, so she told my parents and they go "but was [Boogie] right?" Poor teacher! She wanted me to behave so badly, but I never did. Of course my math was right. Btw.

No, it's like she is radiating happiness! It's inner beauty shining through.

Same, I was like, is this Shawna? Then I was wondering if Ryan Michelle Bathe's character had been brought back to say goodbye to Rebecca. I mean, the lady looks nothing like the actress who plays Shawna, and quite obviously isn't RMB... but I figured it was someone we knew. (Also, the casting sucked so bad on older Laurel, that I have to remember sometimes they aren't amazing with aging Black ladies)

I think it was because he either took a shower, or he was going to bed. Also, that was a party, not a club. Deja wouldn't be able to get in a club. Her name's Tess. No "a." Tess and Randall arrived together (remember he picked her up from work to head out to the cabin). Beth is inside, Deja and Annie arrive together, Deja is pregnant and Annie is driving. He greeted DeeDee (Or Evie?) who we learn is Nicky's wife. So it was a new person we weren't anticipating.

Madison is an event planner. As am I, and I am comfortable. I just have never ever seen her work.

He's so handsome, I wanted him to be the new Jackson. But I guess Winston and Linc are our eye candy for now.

Correct. Maggie was born in 83, and Meredith was 5. So although Ellen Pompeo is 52, Meredith is only 44. Born in 1978

I remember having a crush on him when I saw him play sax on Arsenio. I was 6. Lol. I have a thing for silver foxes. Always have. There's a sparkle in his eye. He's magnetic. I was ignorant enough to think he was a harmless attractive man for his whole presidency. I really was clueless about the affairs and such. John Mulaney talks of Clinton's charm in a stand up special. Billy boy was getting all the girls back in college (which he attended with Mulaney's parents) and he never stopped.

1000% we pick up on everything faster. Very few moves are "new," they are just in a new order. There is a leg up in the first 3-5 weeks of the show. However, trained dancers have bad habits (I have my feet in turnout position almost all the time) that are hard to break. So something like Samba is NOT easier on a ballerina. But waltz is. Paso is easier for jazz dancers. So on and so forth. Amanda's a wonderful example of a trained dancer who coasted at the beginning, but her Rockette style of dance made her look unnatural when she needed to show emotion that wasn't about the death of her husband. Jojo was more cross trained, her bad habits were more moldable than Amandas, for whatever reason. But yes, trained dancers have it easier on this show.

Tom said it many many years ago. "This is part dance competition, part popularity contest. If it were only a dance competition, it'd be on PBS." I'm a trained jazz/ballet/contemporary/salsa dancer, with very high expectations for those who win dance shows... Iman won because his dances were amazing. The choreography is a major part of what makes the show worth watching. Daniella choreographed rewatchable dances with a partner who had rhythm, natural ability, and showmanship. That IS the premise. Nothing sour about it. I rewatched the Us dance two dozen times. I have already rewatched the Lose Control freestyle at least 5 times. I watched zero other competitors performances after seeing them live. Also, I had never in my life heard of Iman Shumpert nor Daniella! So, it wasn't his name that got him the win. It was the whole package.

I came to this thread looking for a petition to rid this show of her. But couldn't find one. She is the living worst.

I do find her adorable, and definitely in Ryan Hansen's character's league. But irresistible, she is not.

I loved the ending. Television LOVES trauma for Black characters, even more for Black couples. It was a radical ending to simply let them be.

The covid part hit me right in the feels. I was let go days after George Floyd's death. Being the only Black person in a 90 person startup made it particularly frustrating that they ran their public statements by me as well... to show they were woke. I would have quit the day they let me go. Then, I went on to publish two books while in between permanent jobs. Getting mad at someone for going to yoga is PEAK May 2020! Whew chile! I literally ended a friendship because she went to spin class right before entering my home.

I was happy there didn't end up being an unwanted baby

What a heavy one

It's caught on, people just don't come to the forums until the season is complete. I loved it and will rewatch it all tomorrow!

She's with her dad in Boston while Kelly McCreary is on maternity leave. (Not sure if she had the baby yet, but she is too pregnant to hide).

I like that theory. I'd love a link to the subreddit. Sometimes I wanna go on tangents and reddit is the place for that. I found it interesting that McTransplant had what looked to be the same Range Rover Derek had in several seasons. People often comment on how similar they look. Is "seeing things that aren't there" a symptom of Alzheimers? I know people forget, or call people the wrong name. But I'm not well-versed on what else happens as people begin their descent into dementia. I was really happy Amelia and Linc had a lil romp on the couch. They should have worked out.

This makes my millennial heart just beg for Britney and Xtina to decide to do an ep or three of this show! Heck, I'd settle for Hillary Duff or Jessica Simpson!

Willie Robertson is not a person I know at all. I googled him a few weeks back after learning he is good friends with Chris Pratt. If I hadn't, I would have been very confused. I just happen to know Bobby Berk. But I do appreciate that both of these niche "celebs" were lovely singers.

They will definitely use this button on upcoming seasons when someone who sings amazingly well doesn't want to be on the show for more than a few episodes. It's the new way to let big stars half-ass participate. Bobby Berk is from the revival of Queer Eye on Netflix, he's an insanely talented interior designer. But his life story is gripping, and as you watch the episodes, you see how much he grows. He's really great and I highly recommend watching Netflix's Queer Eye. It's one heck of a show!

Don't feel old. I usually know a lot of musicians from the 60's - 80's, but only the ones my parents liked (think Motown to New Edition). Very little rock music was played. I like that he stuck to his punk roots and played a bad seed on the show too!

Yes, Amelia had a massive crush on Carina. She got in the MRI (or CT?) machine to help Carina with her masturbation study solely because Amelia wanted to get in good with Carina. Then they found the tumor. Later, Amelia tries to ask Carina to join her and Link (or was it Owen?) for a threesome. Since Kai is non-binary, Amelia's crush on them isn't a crush on a girl, it's a crush on a non-binary person. Which would put Amelia in the pansexual or queer category. As opposed to bisexual. I watched this with my (boomer) mom last night and she tried so hard on Kai's pronouns, it was really cute. "Amelia wants to date they?" Lol. No Mom, "Amelia wants to date them!"
