You know I was willing to give Liv the benefit of the doubt because she didn't mean to kill Cara. She thought she was killing her husband; but her willingness to throw an innocent man under the bus was too far. Fuck her and her douchebag husband. And now Liv has killed two people (granted the latter was in self-defense but it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't killed the first one) all because she wanted revenge against her husband. I truly don't understand women like that. She should have divorced him at the very least the minute she discovered the sex tape and the fact that it wasn't a one-time fling with someone he barely knew. Remarkably enough the most likeable person on this show (Garth) got the shortest end of the stick. Will is a gaslighting asshole but Liv; she needs help.

Yep. But it only applied to Native American women. I know Yellowstone is fictional, but there's no way they would have sterilized a white teenager. Especially not one that everyone knew came from a prominent, if not the most prominent, family in the area. Clearly, a plot device designed to get the audience to hate Jaime, and it's ridiculous. I mean, the timeframes don't even add up, lol. If this show is supposed to take place in the present, Beth would have been born in 1986. Meaning she would have been 15 in 2001. At this point on the show, Jamie has done nothing worse than anyone else.

I’ve decided that I’m rooting for France because I’m sick of the Messi deserves it crap! As if everyone else should just move out if the way and let Argentina win because by golly Messi deserves a World Cup to cap off his career. No. Like no one deserves to win a World Cup - you win the World Cup because your team wins games. It would be different if folks were like I’m rooting for Argentina because it would be a pity if Messi never won the big one but this whole deserves thing rubs me the wrong way.

I am watching it! On episode four and I am loving it so far. Juan is my favorite, followed by Tilda and Abbi. Also, how are all these scientists so rich? LOL.

Perhaps things have changed but Mormons are allowed to drink and do drink soda. Coffee is "banned", along with alcohol, tobacco, tea, and illegal drugs. A lot of people just assumed all caffeine was no-go because both coffee and tea have it, but that is incorrect. Although, a lot of mormons do still avoid soda.

This is already their punishment, lol. TBH Kamila was the first Russian skater that I’m aware of who has ever tested positive for a banned substance; is cheating going on? Likely - just based on history in other sports and the entire Putin scheme in Sochi but it’s going to take more than one positive test from Valieva to have Russians banned in any meaningful way from figure skating. Also, I’m hearing the Olympic mess may not be finished until 2023. I’m still convinced that the powers are that be are just going to wait it out and then announce no change to the team standings.

The Pairs competition was rough. And sadly it reinforced just how far ahead of the field the Russians and Chinese were….hope the Japanese men sweep and I hope the womens free skate is good!

Wade is actually the CEO and he remains a tool. The way JoAnn’s treated its employees during the early days of COVID was total garbage.

Men are dumb. And for most men (even non-white ones) being thin, blonde (even if it’s not real) and having blue eyes is like the pinnacle of beauty regardless of the actual package aka looks of said blonde haired blue eyed thin woman. So I’m not surprised a bunch of old white dudes fell for her bullshit.

Yes!! The French Federation of Ice Sports officially announced that no Russian or Belorussian skaters would be allowed to compete in competitions that France is hosting. And there’s nothing the ISU can do about it. Now if only the IOC would grow a pair and ban them from at least the next summer and winter games….. Also, cheating aside, Russia has also violated the Olympic True; they should be banned from the Paralympics too….come on, grow a pair IOC.

Are banned steroids usually found in makeup? I did see an article that some athletes have claimed they were exposed clostebol during sexual intercourse 😮 and blamed that for a failed test……

LOL. They’ll be back to Russian Federation come next Olympic cycle! Their pseudo “suspension” is just about over. Whatever the case, I vastly preferred the 2018 OAR version 😂😂

American women have been struggling since Sasha Cohen and since before the Russians started winning - and the Russians aren’t nearly as dominant as people think. They’ve won the last three OGM, which has happened over a span of 8 years; since 2014 when Adelina won Olympic gold Russian women have won five world championships and two of these were Medvedeva. Prior to Tuk winning at World’s in 2015, they hadn’t won at Worlds since 2005. I find it frustrating that now folks want to blame the Russians for the American womens overall poor performance in international competition since 2006 (last American world champion Kimmie Meissner). Because the facts and American skaters placements don’t support that and it gives US Figure Skating an out. Instead of trying to figure out what can be done to improve - folks now just want to throw their hands up and be like wah wah wah we can’t win because the Russians are cheaters. The US women’s gymnastics team on the other hand has been a total beast and crazy dominant by comparison and the only people you hear complaining are non-Americans….wonder why that is?

That sucks. There are still some great skaters out there, even if they don’t win. I think Japan and Korea have been producing lovely skaters lately. While I can appreciate Gracie’s perspective, I mostly disagree with her conclusion. The American ladies are not only behind the Russians but the Japanese and Koreans too. So there’s more to American ladies problems than just, well Russians are abusive and we don’t want to do that so we will never win again. Like there’s a spectrum. For starters US Figure Skating needs to figure out a way to eliminate cost barriers and other barriers to the sport - gasp, maybe try to see what things are being done elsewhere and see what can be learned.

Yeah. Kamila did not throw the free skate and it’s a rumor that needs to stop. But again, I cannot with Bach and truthfully the hypocrisy of ALL of the adults in involved - sadly, I don’t think any of them really care about the Russian girls, they are just upset because the facade has been shattered. Here’s what the ISU said when Tutberidze won the inaugural International Skating Union Coach of the Year; in 2020! So after Yulia, after Evgenia, after Alina…… ”she’s given so much strength and dedication to her athletes….and now it’s time for this talented coach to take center stage” Ted Barton, ED of skate Canada, compared Eteri’s girls to a stable of thoroughbred horses. Johnny Weir called Sambo 70 the most iconic school in the world when he visited and waxed poetically about being thankful that he got to enjoy such beautiful skating. Side note, someone asked about the name Sambo, it’s a Russian martial art that originated in the 1920’s. But it’s practiced internationally now. Not a typo and not racist. Sambo 70 is named such because it originated as a Sambo school and was founded in 1970 (Sambo 70) and while it’s now more famous for figure skating; there something like 20 sports associated with the club.
