    While that would be neat, league matches don’t go to penalties - that’s just for cup matches. A draw would simply mean both teams get a point each.

    Thanks for the information. I know nothing about soccer/football. My local MLS team won a game last week by penalty kicks, which is why I thought of it. But I guess they are playing for a cup (the Open Cup?) Is there a post-season cup match for the top teams, equivalent to the Super Bowl? I thought I read that Man City has won the Premier League championship but has the chance to win two more trophies this year.

  2. 1/5.

    I started Monday with a win, then made the same mistake that Ben did on Tuesday and didn’t have a clue for the rest of the week. I think it was karma biting me because I was rooting for Ben to lose. (He seems like a nice guy but I don’t like runaway games.)

  3. I’m predicting the final game ends in a draw with penalty kicks deciding the outcome so that we can get hero moments for each of the players we have come to know over the last three years.

    if Rebecca and Ted end up together (which I hope they don’t), Rebecca will rush to the airport to express her love to Ted before he flies back to America. What could be more romcom than that?

    I also think that we will learn that Nate walked in on Rupert assaulting Ms. Kakes (is that his former assistant’s name?) and that is the reason he left West Ham and why Bex and the assistant shows up on Rebecca’s doorstep. Rupert is arrested and disgraced, giving him the punishment he deserves.

    It’s too bad they spent the first half of the season on Poochie Shandy, Jack, Zava. 

    I think each of these characters were essential for showing growth. Shandy showed what life would have been like for Keely if she hadn't connected with Rebecca. It also showed that she could make hard business decisions when she fired Shandy. Jack showed Keely that she needed someone who would accept her the way she was or no one at all. Zava showed the team that they should not rely on one star player, that they needed to work as team. Zava also inspired Jamie to put in the work he needed so he could have the respect that he craved. I agree Shandy and Jack were around longer than I liked, but I think all three characters were important plot advancements.

  5. I noticed that any time Nick went to introduce Jade in the restaurant, she disappeared. I'm beginning to get "I see dead people" vibes about her.

    But gauging things just based on the episode's title, I truly & honestly think its as simply plain as him resigning and going home to Kansas Henry .... after Richmond wins the EPL.

    What is the episode's title?

  7. I've always hated the scripted banter between presenters, so I won't miss that. Maybe this means the Tonys can show more performances from the nominated shows, which is really why I watch. The one thing Broadway performers know is how to perform live in front of an audience and deal with anything unexpected that may happen.

    However, I want to make clear that writers are essential and deserve to be fairly compensated, especially in light of the increasing streaming of shows. I will also miss the opening number the Tonys usually have, although I have never seen anything better (or bigger!) than the Neil Patrick Harris opener from 2013.

  8. Hungary has given up the rights to host the 2024 European Championships, citing its close proximity to the fighting in Ukraine and the economic hardships it is undergoing as a result of the war. (Also, IMHO, no need to get the Russians upset since they still won't be able to compete.)

  9. Ilia Malinin got himself in trouble with a response to a question asking if he had to prove that he was straight. He has apologized for his response. Why is a skater's sexual orientation even being talked about these days? Gay, straight, bi, who cares?

    Anyone else think Barbara might turn out to be instrumental in the video leak? 

    Actually, I think Shandy's behind it. I also think Jack is going to pull out her financing of PRKJ, Keely gets funding elsewhere (Rebecca maybe?) and Barbara asks Keely if she can stay as her CFO.

    Added: Sorry, @MMLEsq, didn't see your post until I did mine. Obviously great minds think alike.

  11. The ending had to be a tribute to the Godspell movie, which ended with the tribe dancing down an empty city street, going around a corner and then being absorbed by the people in the suddenly crowded sidewalks.

  12. When the doorbell rang at the end, I said “Please don’t let it be Jamie, please don’t let it be Jamie” and then it was Jamie. I didn’t expect that he was the one that Keely sent the video to, though.

    There is nothing that can’t be made better by having a group of people singing the last three minutes of Hey, Jude together.

  13. Asking for a ruling now. For Monday's FJ I said Gulliver without a first name because I had no idea what his first name was. Does that count as correct? Mayim said Gulliver alone first and then gave the full name.

  14. 3/5 with 3*. 
     

    Funny that for me the asterisks were all instagets while I couldn’t even come up with a guess for the other two. Makes me feel smart and dumb at the same time. So I’ll bring candy: Smarties and Dum Dum suckers.

    I have stayed at a B&B in SE Ohio, out in the middle of nowhere in hill country for work, and their restaurant is fantastic.  Unfortunately, it is currently open only to guests, but prior to 2020, it had been open --by reservation--to anyone who cared to venture to the location.  I've dined there both as an outside guest and as a guest of the B&B, and it was busy every time I was there.  I think they're only open for B&B guests right now because they can't staff up to the needs of running several rooms worth of tables.  They literally are in the middle of nowhere, two hours east of Cincinnati, and probably that and a little more from Columbus.

    I think this is the place I've been wracking my brain trying to remember the name of. It's in Amish country, right? I live in Cincinnati and went there for dinner one Saturday with friends of mine. We had to make reservations about a month in advance. I thought of the place with this episode but can't remember the name. The restaurant was very popular. Sorry to hear the pandemic closed it to non-B&B guests. The B&B was also popular during the summer. Lots of Amish shops in the area.

    Has anybody else watched the latest episode of The Ready Room?  We've been trying to it since Saturday, but it just won't download.  We can get anything else on Paramount+, so it's not them. 

    I've had the same problem. Glad to know it isn't just me.

    I want to alert everyone to a great channel on YouTube that is doing fantastic breakdowns of each episode, Broadway By Ghostlight. Here's his breakdown of Episode 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOyC0tzKv08. I highly recommend watching this, and the previous episodes as well. He even has interviews with the choreographer of the series breaking down every dance move and reference.

    Thank you for posting this link. It is fantastic and lots of fun to watch. The interview with the choreographer was so informative. I have a new rabbit hole to spend time in!

  18. Maybe Tessie is sleeping with the mob boss. After all, it’s a time-honored tradition for a mobster to put his girlfriend into a show he’s backing. And Tessie’s husband did die from a sudden “heart attack.”

    I also don’t think it’s strange if Susie didn’t know Hedy was Gordon’s wife. Does anyone know who is Jimmy Fallon’s wife? And sometimes couples who have different sexual orientations love each other and want to stay married (Leonard Bernstein and his wife come to mind) even if they seek sexual gratification elsewhere.
