Correct. So it was a way for the student to gain work experience while the school had someone who, at least ostensibly, knows what they're doing and has a passion for. Sadly, the defunding of school libraries is not a recent phenomenon here. 😔

Ready for a stat to make steam blow out of your ears? We have 217 public schools and 4 certified school librarians. 4. For the whole district. I told you our school district is a cluster****. 😡 I adored this episode for so many reasons. Watching children get excited about books and reading always makes me giddy. And that little boy shading Ms. Barbara's reading aloud skills?? 🤣 Melissa announcing that she only knows how to cook for 12 made me cackle. So Italian. I'm so happy that Janine stuck up for herself and that for once, Melissa and Barbara didn't team up to tear down her ideas. Mrs. Howard, you may be older and wiser but you aren't in fact, always right.

Oh I don't know. That song about Cheetos really brought the house down. /s -

I didn't even notice the Emma Stone thing while I was watching (probably too sleepy at that point) but I definitely noticed the RDJ snub and was pissed. He was too preoccupied with rushing to the microphone and holding his arms in the air like he just won a damn Olympic gold medal. 🙄 Sorry, but RDJ has been rubbing me the wrong way all awards season. -
Couple to Throuple - General Discussion
MicheleinPhilly replied to zenithwit's topic in Couple to Throuple
Co-sign with your entire post @zenithwit. I am not at all surprised that Ashmal and Rehman are no longer together. Rehman is incredibly immature and needs to do some serious work on himself. Also, are hickeys a thing again? I haven't given or received a hickey since I was like 15 years old. Grow up, boys. I didn't care for Max and Ash AT ALL. They pretended to be so evolved but they came across as very manipulative. I actually clapped when Becca walked away from them. I really liked Britnee and Sean but was a bit confused as to why they were on the show. They obviously have a really strong relationship and I never got the sense from either of them that they were that interested in opening it up to a third. As I stated in my initial post, I think Dylan and Lauren are only interested in a reliable third party for threesomes. In the event they do decide to go forward with another season, I sincerely hope they make some changes to give the singles more agency/attention. I get that this is a trashy reality dating show but the way they just trot out the singles like playthings is kind of gross. I also hope they do a better job vetting the couples because none of these couples should have been on this show. -
Vanity Fair has an interview with CT and Trishelle: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/the-traitors-season-2-winners-break-their-silence-it-was-a-crazy-ending Some of the more interesting tidbits:
-
I despise Andy Cohen so these reunions are always like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. As someone who doesn't think MJ really did all of that much in terms of contributions to the game - either in challenges or discussing strategy - I wish that CT and Trishelle would have just said something to the effect of "We didn't feel like you deserved a third of the pot" rather than trying to kiss her ass with disingenuousness. But the whole "I blocked you on Instagram" made me laugh out loud. Good lord, these people are like children. 🙄
-
I'm pleased with the outcome. IMO, MJ really didn't do anything during the course of the show so having her miss out on a third of the money doesn't bother me. Trishelle's CT vote was a truly WTF? moment though. I'm not entirely sure what she was trying to accomplish with that. But she's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier so 🤷♀️.

More Anonymous Oscar Ballots 🙄 -
I just watched this last night. How this film only received 1 nomination while the total snooze that was Maestro (which I watched immediately afterward) received a truckload is beyond me. 🙄
-
When UK season 2 does hit Peacock, I hope they also upload the aftershows which are MILES better than the US ones, IMO. The murdered and banished contestant from each episode meet in a room and learn the identity of the traitors.
-
THIS. As amusing as I found Phaedra, it became increasingly apparent to me that she was just coasting on Bravo loyalty. I mean, even when she was in the turret she never really spoke up or contributed much to the traitors' strategy. I totally got Kate's frustration with her.
-
I actively HATE Trishelle so for me it's just further proof of how shitty this season has been that I'm actually entertaining the idea. MJ has been a total non-entity just blindly voting with the Bravo folks. And I can't really recall any challenges that she excelled in. Can we have an option where the pot just gets donated to charity instead???
-
At this point, I'm actually rooting for Trishelle, CT, or Sandra to win it all. THAT'S how unremarkable this crew is. I'm going to be pissed if some Bravo person that really hasn't contributed anything to the pot or gameplay ends up taking home the cash. And I can never get behind a late entrant winning either.
-
I screamed. I did at the end too when she asked Ms. Barbara if she knew a song about Moses because "Imma need you to let my people go." Overall though, I loved how invested Ava was in the whole choir drama. And not in her usual, messy way - she was genuinely interested in helping Mrs. Howard and making her happy.
