    Not many people still watching this show, it seems.  At least Jackie and DeCourcy are back in the same city again, so hopefully they'll team up again.

    I just discovered this show last week. I've binged the 1st and 2nd season after watching season 3 opener. Kevin Bacon is outstanding. He deserves the Emmy. He is so good, and makes it seem so natural, as if he was from Boston and not Philly.

  2. I think we are going to find out these are three separate attacks.  The biker gang, the horse thieves, and the Willa/Roarke company.  Only deaths will be the 2 women and possible Kayce's assistant.

    I thought Susie had already SIGNED the contract - wasn't it a six-month tour - three in the U.S. and three in Europe?  I mean, they were already filling her room with teddy bears, which was her weird contract "ask".  Were there TWO contracts - one for the U.S. and one for Europe?  

    I think after Shy took 2 months off, they had to redo the contract as the tour dates and tv specials would need to be updated and corrected.

    My dad was a member of the Teamsters union and Hoffa was huge while I was growing up, so that part interested me. 

    My father was actually a member of the 107 from the 50s to 1980 and we are from Philly, so I was familiar and interested in the story. I still remember the night Angelo Bruno was murdered, we were leaving A Chorus Line in center city.

    I'm assuming that late '79 into '80 there was a mob war, because a lot of guys met their violent end in that time period.

    Yes, when Atlantic City was opening to gambling, the wars started up. By rights, Philadelphia should have control of Atlantic City. I don't think the other bosses wanted Angelo Bruno to have it all.

  6. Just finished watching this movie. Robert De Niro with his usual 2 facial expressions and Al Pacino with his numerous facelifts are, IMO, hopelessly miscast as Irish guys. Why can't Scorsese ever use people other than Italians and Harvey Keitel for roles.  I was interested for the Angelo Bruno and Teamsters 107 and South Philly connections. Movie was average. Not worthy of awards, but the academy voters will give their usual nods to these guys.

    I think my favorite freestyle was Donald Driver and Peta.  He is also probably my favorite winner.

    Totally agree. That was such a fun freestyle. I loved it. Also, Peta looked so different then, better.

  8. I've been  been watching this season on Hulu the next day, show is so much better when you can fast forward through everything except performances.

    I wonder if some of the eliminated singers got more votes than many who stayed since they gave an automatic pass to 2 highest on every team. 

    If the show was fair, they would have taken the top 12 vote getters no matter which team they're on. 

    Blake sorely miscalculated on this one.  

    The vote off seems to be mainly for 12 year old girls.

  9. I don't watch this show, but I follow the eliminations and public comments.  I think part of the reason for the Spicer vote is the comments made by Tom before the show began. Plus, when I watched in the past, they used to tell everyone to call in and vote for your favorites even before the dances began. If they tell people to vote for their favorites, why do they wonder when people do it instead of best dances?

    I think she has so much hate for her brother because he was mother's favorite. Last season when she laid on the ground dying she spoke lovingly to him while speaking hatefully to her daughter.

    That was Kayce. Jamie and Lee were older than Beth and Kayce.  On another episode, they even talked about Kayce being the mother's favorite.
