EVS

I think the other five acts are the golden buzzer acts from the auditions.

One of my reality competition show pet peeves is when there are 4 judges. Too much time is wasted listening to 4 people saying the same thing. It is even worse on this show because there is less constructive criticism, imo. Between that and the annoying interviews/cross promotion, the show is too long for me. I ff through quite a bit of it. I am also concerned that they are going to burn those kids out too quickly. I think they are learning too many dances each week. Nigel briefly mentioned that the teams picked their partners and dances from a hat. I believe they picked the dances, but the partnerships seem to 'perfect' for me (height, personality, etc) to be random. Maybe I misheard that part. Finally, for me the girls are stronger than the boys overall, but I had a feeling a girl would go home first since there are already more girls than boys. Overall, the show isn't as bad as I thought it would be though. There are some very talented dancers.

Here is a link to the Today Show interview as well as an interview (with clips) from 1996 after the girls won gold. (Kerri's vault still brings tears to my eyes, as does Bella carrying her out with the team.). Also there is an interview with the girls just chosen for the current Olympic team. http://www.today.com/news/magnificent-seven-us-gymnastics-team-revisits-1996-olympic-triumph-t100730

Here is the latest reality tea article. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it claims that Paige was required to surrender her phone when she entered the house which is why she couldn't call 911 herself. http://www.realitytea.com/2016/07/12/kim-richards-accused-conspiracy-cover-latest-kingsley-attack/

I agree about the make-up. I like Ragan Smith and can relate to looking young ( I'm 5 ft tall and at her age looked like I was about 12 also), but, imo, that bright lipstick made her look like a child who had gotten into her mommy's make-up drawer.

If that is true then Kyle is an idiot who deserves to be sued. I am skeptical though. Most other websites don't mention Kyle except to say that the attack occurred in her home. Are the documents available for public viewing? I love animals too and have two big dogs. I know there are places that try to rehabilitate dogs like Kingsley. Hopefully, it is not too late for him. I agree with you , walnutqueen.

I wonder if Kyle and her family were out of town, or at least out of the house that day, and had no idea that Kim would bring Kingsley. If that is the case, then I hope they finally cut Kim out of their lives for good this time. Eta: What a horrible, selfish person Kim is. I can't believe I ever felt sorry for her during season 1.

New Housewife: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/rhobh-adds-new-housewife-dorit-kemsley-for-season-7-w212347 i have no idea who she or her husband are. Eta: Here is his Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Kemsley

Oops, sorry, I shouldn't have brought up the M-word. I agree that she needs to stop with unnecessary procedures/treatments that are probably doing her more harm than good. I wonder why she kept this procedure so quiet?

No explanation for what procedure she is having or why. (I'm so glad she is "raising awareness"). It doesn't look like she is in a hospital. I suspect this is one of her quack treatments that she posted (and possibly requested from Daisy or one of her quack Drs) because of all the comments on social media about how she suddenly looks so healthy.

Isn't that one of the symptoms of...idk...maybe something called...Munchausen Syndrome?

This is a good interview with Simone's grandmother about how she came to live with them. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-olympics-gymnastics-biles-idUSKCN0YA052

Hi, WINGS, As far as I know, there is only one girl who appeared on dance moms who is still on the show. Her name is Sophia Lucia and she has not really been featured on SYTYCD yet. I can't remember which all-star she is teamed with. She wasn't a regular on dance moms, but was a guest on the team for several episodes. I didn't watch regularly, so I'm not sure how many. Maddie was the girl interviewing other kids. She was (arguably) the star dancer on Dance Moms. She will be helping judge on SYTYCD Ava, the tall girl who didn't get picked by an all-star, also guest starred on DM. Abby (the loud mouthed teacher) picked on her for being tall and kicked her off the team. Then her mom basically took over teaching the rival team so Ava was on several episodes as well. I think those are the only ones.

Here is one link to the story: http://stylenews.people.com/style/2016/06/20/yolanda-foster-stands-up-for-gigi-hadid-and-kendall-jenner/ Eta: link to Reality Tea article: http://www.realitytea.com/2016/06/20/yolanda-foster-slams-stephanie-seymour-dissing-gigi-hadid-kendall-jenner/

For some reason I can't see any of the comments on this article. ?

Then I am a terrible person too! IRL, I try to be kind and not judgmental, but reality tv has brought out my dark side. For example, I look at the cover of Yolanda's book and keep coming up with alternate titles/content. So far I have: "My Journey Around the World With A Hypochondric" by Yolanda's White Jeans "Yolanda's Big Book of Selfies: A Book for People With Foot Fetishes" "A Tale of Two Bitches" I think I need an intervention (I am referring to myself, but that might be a good title for Yolanda's book also).

I just finished this season and was reading updates on contestants after the race. I found out what happened to Hera and her little boy. I'm reading her blog now. I started from the beginning. It's so intense and powerful, but heartbreaking.

Lura, Occam's razor basically says that the simplest explanation is the most probable. https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor

Last summer, I got a flat tire while driving through Missouri farm country. I was somewhere between two small towns with populations of about 500 each. Fwiw, neither one of the kind local gentlemen who helped me change my tire was dressed like Old McDonald. Cam is so dramatic, I wonder if he exaggerates his country upbringing. I can't remember if his mother and sister were country stereotypes. I don't recall his mother being dressed like Minnie Pearl.

I was just coming here to post this. I remember that Rogelio wanted her at the wedding, but when I saw her as a bridesmaid, I thought I had forgotten part of the discussion. I'm guessing that Aneska will have an epileptic seizure, which will give away her identity. I hope it happens early in the season so Petra doesn't miss too much time with her babies now that she is finally bonding with them. Please show, do not give Raphael any more surprise children.

I was thinking that she would probably follow Gigi around the world, attending all her photos shoots and runway shows. If one of the non-Gigi's happens to be in the same country, I think she would probably meet them for a meal as long as they know their place and don't try to sit next to her in Gigi's spot. I went out to dinner last night and one of the desserts on the menu was bananas foster. I swear my mind immediately translated it to 'Crazy Yolanda'.

Beverly is still horrible to Leonard, but I'm glad Leonard isn't letting her behavior get to him as much as it used to. I liked when Beverly said something mean in the car (I can't remember what it was) and Leonard replied, "save something for the toast", and then he and Penny just laughed. I also loved Mary Cooper's response when Beverly told her to read another book, and her "block of ice" comment about Beverly. I also liked how accepting Leonard's dad was of Mary's religious comments/views. Although Leonard's dad and Sheldon's mom getting together was pretty predictable, I thought it was well done and amusing. Finally, regarding Bernadette, fwiw, I was probably about her height and weight when I got pregnant for the first time. I showed immediately because, as the doctor said, the baby had "nowhere to go except out." However, I was able to wear non-maternity A-line dresses (which were fortunately in style) in a petite size through my second trimester. I needed maternity jeans/pants much sooner. Everyone carries differently though. I do agree that the type of dresses Bernadette usually wears would hide a small baby bump since she is still early in her pregnancy.

I think the elite moms are terrified that Abby is going to replace the elite team with the mini team and that's why they are so nasty to the mini moms. Melissa is just furious that the mini moms don't kiss her ass, like she thinks everyone should do just because she is Maddie's mom. Abby was being typically passive-aggressive and Melissa should have expected it since she knows Abby so well. She shouldn't have let Abby see how bothered she was because then Abby got what she wanted. Melissa basically took all her anger at Abby out on Ariana's (?) mom, which was a crappy thing to do.

It looks like she used a bad self tanning cream. Her face and hair look so greasy. Eta:. With her hair slicked like that, you can see how thin it is in several spots. Imo, she looks terrible.

This! Well said!
