This was posted today regarding rigging and a Fessy Live where it sounds shady. Not sure what is truth but doesn't sound debunked to me.

If the spoiler rumors are correct, they reshot a section that Kyle won originally and Bananas won the second time. Also the plan was for 1 winner UNTIL Johnny came in second and they pulled Jenny aside and asked if (told her she had to most likely) she would split the prize money to have 2 winners just to give Johnny a win.

Agreed on Mattie and to be honest if they are going to do into everyone's past with a fine tooth comb and fire them then there wouldn't be too many left. I mean the VERY reason these people are cast in the first place is because they are drama driven narcissists (yes even the nice ones or people's favorites) who do and say stupid crap. That is what makes them entertaining and sometimes the worst part of themselves get exposed. They SHOULD be taking this as an opportunity to open dialogue and discussions about these issues rather than trying to erase them. They have no problem exploiting these people and even celebrating their "problematic" ways to get ratings and attention for them but are so quick to just erase somebody if it is simple and they will get no backlash. I am not trying to excuse any of these idiots or their actions but merely that I think MTV is extremely hypocritical and all of this is virtue signalling. I don't believe they have any good intentions behind these actions and only did this to avoid people complaining on social media. Unless they start firing the faces of the show who have done worse things (which I am not advocating), the firing of Taylor and Dee is simply reactive signalling to the Twitter mobs that they are "good guys" and to please leave them alone and to please move on to the next outrage hopefully not on their network. YMMV

I just got done watching the full version on mtv.ca and it was much better. Dee came off really poorly so the decision to remove her makes no sense. They clearly gave her the villain edit prior to all her issues so they should have just let it go as is.

Looks like Comedy Central isn't bringing this show back. Sucks I liked it.

Cinemax no longer making original programming. They are trying to shop this show around but likely is done. Hope I am wrong as I am big fan of CG and enjoyed this show.

Is there going to be a second season?

Yeah especially if he had been doing this for years prior and was used to the process. I mean it is 2019 and I am shocked when my online buddies on music boards still insist on paying more for CDRs of live shows instead of paying half the price for a lossless audio file. Some people are just either stuck in their ways or need something tactile.

I was today years old when I found out that there was more than 1 way to pronounce sherbert and that the 2nd "r" wasn't always the correct way of spelling this word. Mind blown.

Episode 1 of Season 2 is up on Hulu.

So I started a rewatch on Hulu this past weekend and I forgot how much I loved this show. James Spader is so good as is almost all the cast but he just is memorizing in pretty much everything he does. I met him a few times back in the late 80's (his parents lived in town of the video store I worked at and he came in a few times to rent movies when he was visiting them) and he was very nice but very tiny in person. Anyway I finished episode 17 of Season one and at the end it showed scenes from the next episode mostly dealing with stuff regarding Kerry Washington's character but the next available episode in Hulu was Season 2 Episode 1 and it had a new cast and nothing from the "next on" scenes were in the episode. It seems like Season 1 only aired 17 episodes so what happened to the episode they previewed at the end of ep 17?

Fair enough. I have been watching Jay in things for 20 years or so and I do like him but I think this particular show works better when he isn't the sole focus. I prefer the episodes and scenes when Magnum and Higgins work together rather than rehash the lame bickering and sniping of the old show. I don't mind the show moving in that direction at all. I was never a fan of the Rick and TC characters other than in supporting roles so I don't need any more of them although I do like both Stephen and Zach in their roles. But a little goes a long way for me for those characters.

I am liking the change because while I like Jay ok, he doesn't really have the charisma to lead the show solo like Selleck did and Perdita Weeks is the best part of the show in my opinion. I would rather have her being more a part of the team than try to redo the dumb Higgins hates Magnum bull that made the original show tiresome. Hillerman was awesome but it was just stupid having him just be a foil most of the time. Got so repetative and unbelievable that it took me out of the show. YMMV

Oh ok. I thought they were robots.

If that guy was able to create what appeared to be humanoid puppets that he was able to send his conscious through, then why cant something like that be done for Cliff. Surely that would be better than his current situation.

Despite the lack of size, I though the Cyborg in this was better than the one in Justice League to be honest. I am sure a lot is the writing but he seemed more charismatic and had better presence to me.

Think it involves Jenna hooking up with a male castmember known for cheating. Multiple people have said it isn't true though. Amanda is also the one who made up the lie about Jenna and Bruno so...

Just started watching this on Netflix, had no idea it was originally a Lifetime series. I don't have cable. But this show has some F bombs and other content which would seem out of Lifetime's normal content unless they are way more graphic than I thought. Did the swears air as is on Lifetime or were they edited?

Movie was made by CT's best friend. They have been friends since they were little kids. He is a former drug dealer/gangsta/junkie who got clean and now is a filmmaker. He was CT's best man at his wedding if you watched that special. When CT has that fight with Wes years back and said he and his friends "do dirt" Johnny was one of the guys he was referring to.

What was with the glowing eyes in the painting in the lair?

Just started this and I can't believe Mr Tilly (Lyle) is Sikowitz! Wow.

I think CT's dad really hates the cameras as evidenced by them not being allowed in the house. His mom seemed to have no problems with them later so it must be the dad. Also CT and Lili were married in a civil ceremony already months earlier and this was really just a big party for show. I bet they didnt invite the family to THAT one which is the real cause of the tension. They probably felt used. Like they werent invited to the real wedding but they get invited to the one MTV is paying for?

Hard to believe that Jamie Lynn Siegler is now older than Edie Falco was when The Sopranos started. Man time flies.

Zach Roerig is NOT aging well at all. Despite Matt Davis being 7 years old, they look opposite in ages. I would believe Zach being Matt's older brother in another show.

I will say that in my experience, men consider teasing each other or ragging on each other as a form of bonding and a sign of true friendship. You don't tease people you are not close with. It is a sign of affection and love despite the actual words being said. I would say 90% of my interactions with my friends is what we call "ranking" (teasing) on each other's appearances, life choices, family members, etc. For those in our circle, nothing is off limits and nothing is taboo as long as it is said as a joke. But we all love each other and would do anything for each other. The way they are portrayed when joking is WAY more realistic than depictions of guys who have real deep conversations on the reg. While those do happen occasionally, they are out of the norm and an anomaly as part of their overall interactions.
