    I didn't know about the Monica-Josh engagement. Josh is usually an idiot, but he was right that Monica was clout-chasing. Their engagement was not aired during the season, so why did Monica feel the need to post a summary of their relationship?.

    The bold part is why she posted.  She had a major event in her life, and no one knew about it.  Apparently she made one or two posts and other blogs caught them and made it a big deal (because Josh is an a-hole).  Throughout the 3-parter. Josh came across as totally insincere about anything and seems to be the one that's a "clout chaser".  I hope that the final scene meant that Jackie is seeing the light and will chose Monica over the guy who mocks his fiance's size and throws food at his girlfriend.

    I was suspicious that the editing made the final three celebrity relatives more of a mystery than they actually were and Gabe’s interviews have confirmed that. 

    He said that when he was younger he did a project that JB Smoove was also involved with. They never worked together but he was in awe that he was involved. And that he even said his name to Monay at one point and her reaction made him more suspicious. 

    He certainly ddn't balk when Karly threw out "Jay Pharoah".  It's easy for him to say now that he knew but I don't buy it.

  3. It's OK for Gabe to be cocky throughout the game, but the one who figured out the last 2 by herself got dogpiled by the formers who jumped at the chance to out her.  Can't let the confident Black woman win.  That's against the rules. (See also Stars on Mars).

    [W]ith all of her super-confident queen talk and so on, it seemed really clear that she (like Chris before her) was being set up as the loser.

    The only "queens" allowed to win are the drag kind.  She was no more cocky than Gabe was before his football charade fell through.

    I am also interested,  did Monay know Gabriel's relative was nick cannon? Or was she still convinced it was Terry crews?

    She got it as soon as Karsyn showed her his clue.  I loved her subtly pushing T-Pain until one of them (Chris?) realized T wasn't an actor.

    [T]he naming of names by ousted players takes away the fun for me. 

    Especially since all of them made a bee-line to Gabe to out Monay.  How DARE she be smart and strategic!!!

    Monay got ultra cocky before the final guess off. I wonder how long Gabe was onto her.

    He had no clue -- I think he was still on the Terry Crews path -- until the formers told him.

    I wouldn't have minded if he won on his own merit but the dogpilke stunk of misogynoir.

  4. [Psst.. Adam, we can't have 2 strong Black women as the final 2, let alone winner (no matter how much either deserved 10 times more than you. A white gay guy is much more palatable.  So rather than have the winner determined solely by skills (which everyone knows you'd fail at), we're going to have a trivia quiz.  Here's a cheat sheet to make sure you win.  Thanks, buddy.]

    That was an awful, horrid, despicable way to treat Tinashe and Portchia.  Misogynoir runs deep.

    I’ll give the other players some credit, though. Karsyn remembers the shredding clue as being about “colorful coats”, when the clue specifically mentioned DREAMCOAT.

    I cracks me up every time they sat "colorful jacket" when the clue was "Technicolor Dreamcoat!!

    This episode was preempted for the Bachelor in my area. No warning...my DVR just recorded what was aired, so I totally missed it. Who was eliminated?

    This has been answered but I the The Bachlorette got pushed because of Trump's arraignment earlier.

    They said Curb Your Enthusiam but also SNL.  I'm thinking Tim Meadows. I had to google it but Tim Meadows was also on Curb Your Enthusiasm at one point. 

    Add in Far From Home and it's definitely JB Smoove.  If these clowns can't get Donny Osmond, there's vo way they're getting him.

    Hate how Marshawn and Paul treated Porsha.

    Some man are very intimidated by strong women, especially Black women.  Check Paul saying that he would have kicked Porscha out for no good reason  Marshawn has been like this since the get-go, finding fault with all the women, especially Porscha and Tineshe.

    Rooting for Cat, Paul or Marshawn at this point.

    Those are my least favorites, especially Marshawn -- hate him with a passion.  Unfortunately, the alliances are three and three -- Marshawn, Pauk and Cat vs Porscha, Tinesha and Adam.  It could go either way.

    Marshawn can go anytime. He marches to the beat of his own drum. A drum no one else can hear.

    @peachmangosteen I couldn't agree with you more. Lance was a huge baby with a decidedly fragile ego who expected everyone bow down to him. Ariel dared disagree with once (maybe twice) and he branded her an enemy. 

    Marshawn (and to a lesser degree Lance and Paul) marches to the Toxic Masculinity drumbeat.  From the second episode where he felt entitled to the Base Commander's unit, to his disparaging comments to and about the women (his misogynoir towards Porshia is especially irritating) to ordering Porshia to make Paul mission specialist (I love that she said "I'll think about it -- hell, nah!")  I think Marshawn got Paul pushed out by his arrogance.  But neither of them will realize that and just think that Porshia was being mean.

    I love Porshia and Tenishe (and, to a lesser extent Ariel) -- they are always good at their assignments and are good at the social aspect, in spite of Marshawn.  I hope that they come in first and second.

    I'm also not a huge fan of the men and women having separate leaderboards.

    It's been that way since a decent number of women started competing.  Otherwise, very few women would make past the first Qualifier,

  10. I find Fasi and T (the "Hey, look at me!!!!: team) to be far more irritating than  Camille and Laissa.  Can. Not, Stand. Them.

    [1] I have become suspect of all reality shows that rely to some extent on subjective judging.  ...   Maybe I'm just jaded from Lego Masters and Next Level Chef.  Especially NLC which seems clearly rigged.

    [2] I've thought this show is rigged to some extent.  ....  The cynic in me also says that there was no way the show was going to let two teams of two Black women into the final.  I feel that even if Tarsha and Kristy had gotten the flavour and cake base correct, they would have gotten sent home anyways, some reason would have been given.

    Fadi and T are competent, but I find them theatrical and annoying.To me, all things being equal it seems obvious to me that the show wants Fadi and T to win, and has from the beginning. 

    [3] I find it poor that the slate is wiped clean after the Safety Bake round.

     

    [1] Next Level Chef is so freaking bad.  First, they shouldn't even mention anything that didn't make it to the elevator -- if it's off, it's out.  Then one dish can clearly outshine another, get all the complements while tasting, and be put below slop.  I watched one season -- that was enough.

    [2[ Very rigged -- Fadi and T winning the pass to the semis was so utterly fake.  Reality shows don't have to meet the same Standards and Practices as "regular" game shows.  They are definitely the producers' favorites, but blech.  I don't think that they're all that competent either.

    [3] I have to disagree -- I think that woud give too much weight to the Safety Bake.  I think having each round being "judged" (or not) independently works better.

  11. Gabriel is totes Nick Cannon -- 10 babies and Drumline.

    Donny is better known than J. B., I think, but not to these folks.  Karsyn is probably next out, then the remaining four will take themselves out with bad guesses.  Do any of them really know who any of the others are?  Gabriel was close with his "Joseph" guess, but I don't think he got to Donny either,

    I think we have everyone now:

  12. If they used Jim Carey's movies as a hint to Jenny McCarthy, to be fair they should have had a Tom Hanks clue (like the Librerty Bell for Philedelphia, not the freaking BENCH!) for Rita Wilson. If I were Carly, I'd be even more pissed.

    My pick for winner is Monay, simply because her celebrity (see below) is too obscure.  

    I wonder what Olivia's clue looked like.  Gabriel is the only player whose clue we haven't seen.

  13. Fadi and T's win of the Safety Bake was so bogus.  First, they managed to do better in 45 minutes what they had failed at in an hour and a half (the whole "I have to start over" gimmick has never worked for me.) Then, the judges gush over the other 3 tarte Tartins, but they somehow win.  Nope, not buying it.

    I wish they had explained what the difference between what the twins made and a tarte Tartin was.

    The reunion is finally on Netflix.  But there are no subtitles or dubbed in English.  I do not speak Portuguese so I don't know what they are saying.  But from the intros it appears that everyone is still a couple except Karen & Valmir.  

    I was worried about the hostess with her high slit skirt sitting on that couch.  She crossed her legs and pretty much showed off everything.  

    The Portuguese version seems to be gone. I guess they'll put it back once the subtitles and/or dubbing is done. 

    [EDIT]: The reunion is available on my TV (Portuguese audio and subtitles though) but not on my laptop.  Weird.

    I also don't like Valmir but he's less easy to pinpoint other than the fact that he seems extraordinarily pushy.  

    I'll make it simple -- he's a bully.  He's always grabbing other guys shirts, and tried to intimidate Menandro, but Menandro wasn't having it,  From people who claim to know him on the LIB Reddit, he's a right-wing jerk who's nothing like what he shows here (other than the bullying).

    I'm glad that Bianca and Jarbas were able to talk out their problem, and each saw the others point of view,  Jarbas should have not drunk so much, but she eventually didn't fault him for wanting to celebrate with his friends.

    I had good vibes from all the couples (even Dani and Dani) except for Valmir until the last two episodes. Agata and Maria are going to push away Renan and Menandro if they don't back off a bit.  I understand where both are coming from, but enough already.

     

    One thing that surprised me was that all the couples expected to have sex th first night of the :homeymoon" -- even Dani if the cameras weren't there.  I'd always thought of Brazil as being more conservative,
