  1. Regarding all the CCTV cameras on TV shows that somehow capture everything in perfect clarity and can readily zoom in to see every wrinkle and mole on a suspect -- here's a recent photo from a local bank robbery that was released to the public. Sure, I recognize that guy!
  2. Wow, someone in Ryan's office actually wrote to the show to protest! They must have noticed that Seth's Closer Look segments are having at least some small effect.
  3. I wish he had taken at least another week off for his own sake. Maybe the staff wouldn't get paid if the show was closed and he's doing it for them? In any event, I feel bad for him and didn't like watching him struggle to hold in his emotions during the monologue. Being consumed with worry and apprehension for his baby and having to put on a happy face and entertain America ... ugh.
  4. If only 100K signatures could get someone fired ...
  5. People I used to like but have turned on: Amy Schumer - exceedingly overexposed, buying into her own hype Louis CK - ditto, plus his faux feminism and middle-aged masturbatory fantasies are gross David Letterman - after his affairs with staffers were exposed Susan Sarandon - liberal political activist to liberal political idiot Anyone I find out is a Scientologist
  6. I just went for a cheap wig! Better than everyone having to gaze at my scalp through a few wispy hairs. Of all the things I assumed in my 20s would never happen to me as I got older, thinning hair was number one. My Italian heritage included thick curly hair, bushy eyebrows, hairy arms and legs, and a mustache. Now those are all gone and I've developed a pretty good crop of chin whiskers instead. Physiology is cuckoo!
  7. I liked all the cold opens for the week. They were amusing and different from what Jimmy usually does. I know David Spade is hit or miss with people, but I've always liked his comedy and still miss his silly Showbiz Show. He looked comfortable onstage but so rarely wears a suit that I was kind of obsessed with it. You mean the Voice chair turning thing? I don't think there was anything more to it than that? But thanks for the tip about the Guy Ritchie interview so I could skip it. He's kind of a git anyway.
  8. I did wonder why pageant queen gave that as her occupation. I get that competing can take a lot of time and effort, but if she already lost at her state pageant, does she just plan to enter again next year? Or switch to other pageants? Why not just say she's a student? I also thought her "I'm a centrist" response to political affiliation was a pageant answer cop-out. Kentucky requires that voters be registered as either Dem or Repub in order to vote in the primary (not general) elections. Anyway. I shouldn't be judging these people based on whether or not I'd date them, yet I do. No way would pagent have made my cut for a second outing. What's going on with having daters supposedly be living several states apart? Are they being flown in to Chicago just for the show? If they're "originally from" the state in question, then say that. Is the little person really doing a lot of surfing on Lake Michigan or is he actually living in California like he mentioned?
  9. Danielle seems to be using her cave lady "TAKE ME" preference as an unspoken (and unfair) test for Cody. He's certainly stated his desire to hit that, and while she's been clear in her interviews about how she expects him to take the lead, it wouldn't hurt her to bloody lean in a little. Cody thinks he's being sensitive and thoughtful by holding back while Danielle is getting more and more exasperated at his politeness. It's not all on him, Danielle! To start with, her sweatpants boudoir chic is sending the wrong message. If it turns out she's into some mild bdsm as a submissive, poor Cody is way out of his depth. I would be very surprised if any of his callow sexual encounters have lasted longer than 10 minutes. Extended, intimate foreplay from that guy? Hell naw. I would be very interested in seeing their answers to the sex questions on the surveys. (We're not calling them instruments any more, Cilona!) Because surely there were red flags.
  10. I agree that Shamara is, to use her own term, a blessing blocker, but I wouldn't be willing to take on a guy with four kids and two exes, either. I wanted to know why her date "used" to listen to her show. The plumber was kinda skeevy (but oddly accurate) when describing how he imagined his date to have real breasts, long hair, taut thigh muscles, tight red bandage dress, etc. Otherwise he seemed genuine and honest. I thought he and his date were getting along really well, but turns out she was being fake nice. I guess he wasn't rich or good looking enough for her. She certainly walked unceremoniously out of their post-date interview and left him gaping. Rude!
  11. Will looked sunburned; literally red. I like Kristen Bell in general and enjoyed her episode. I think Adam Scott was genuinely freaked out about Mark Hamill. He was a good sport about it. The (sigh) promposal was only acceptable because of Kristen's song.
  12. Bummer. I really enjoyed getting swept up in the beauty and scope of the storytelling. I feel like I just got to know some of the truth behind each character and would have loved to see where their new realities took them.
  13. I still mind him giving her a crown. Whenever Danielle gives one of her speeches about MAN MAN MAN, all I can think of is the 60s song "Johnny Get Angry": Oh, Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad Give me the biggest lecture I ever had I want a brave man, I want a cave man Johnny, show me that you care, really care for me I think Sheila is looking for a religious, bookish guy who enjoys quiet, intellectual pursuits. She was not matched with that man. Anthony, I'm sure the hotel has a cleaning service so you don't have to wear a pit-stained tee shirt to bed. Who else wants to read a memoir from Cody about all that wild partying he did from age 21-24?
  14. I'm enjoying the guest hosts so far. They're not necessarily instantly great at it, but I find their nerves to be part of the charm. I'd actually be in favor of a guest host every week on Fridays, like Carson used to do. It livens things up a bit.
  15. As someone who loves the recaps but has never watched the show -- hasn't every single catfisher been overweight? Sure seems like it.
  16. A couple of the participants commented that they couldn't believe how bad people had it back then -- it just reminded me that they still do, all around the world. I started tearing up about 10 minutes in. I love all the Back In Time type of shows, but this is going to be a sad slog. The participants are great so far.
  17. That was wrenching. I wasn't counting the months or anything and didn't put it together why the show was off last week, so this was a complete surprise. I hadn't seen any news about the birth, either. Wishing Jimmy and Molly strength and calm as they continue to deal with this. I've become quite fond of Jimmy over the years as his genuine kindness and thoughtfulness have become clearer to me. It probably took many of us back to his tears and sorrow during his tribute to Uncle Frank. Sigh. Jimmy's plea about health care was all the more poignant because he almost never espouses his own political opinions.
  18. Bottom line, people like what they like. I very much enjoy the podcasts. There's a lot more content and fun in them, I think. I understand others either can't partake or prefer not to, but I'm a fan.
  19. The celebrity endorsements that bother me are those aimed at bilking seniors, pitched by celebs who are 65+ themselves. As the NY Times said: “Urging seniors to 'call now' ads for free DVDs about hearing aids, reverse mortgages, gold coins, and medicines for bone loss and joint pain. So yeah, Selleck can blow me, along with Henry Winkler.
  20. This may also be a crossover with the unpopular opinions topic, but I can't stand Stephen Colbert. I never watched him on Comedy Central but find him to be incredibly smug and thirsty for attention on The Late Show. I agree with his politics and wanted to like the show but he just got worse and worse the more I watched him.
  21. I think the lesbian's malformed hand would have been a stumbling block for a lot of people but her former Christian puppeteer (!) date didn't even blink. I did chuckle a little when the short-haired one said she didn't consider herself butch.
  22. I wonder if Danielle packed two sets of nightclothes for sexy time vs sleep time. If so, she was sending Cody a clear message with her choice of sweatpants and baggy top. I don't know what to make of his comment that he really wanted to have sex with her and almost couldn't stop himself, or whatever it was. Like, it's not your sole decision to make, dude.
  23. Right?! It was pulling across the back, loose in sleeves, and the lapels were starting to roll. He's one of those people who manage to look unkempt and slapdash no matter how much they spend on clothes and grooming. That benighted scruffy/unshaven look and lank hair didn't help. My mind went on a trip with the Lyft driver ... why did he lose his damned government job? Change in administration? Sex scandal? Espionage!? I forget what he said he's studying, but it sounded kind of bogus. Frankly, I want to date the sexy maitre D'.
  24. Doesn't bossyboots Lauren also have two kids? I thought I remembered Ashley using that as another bullet point in her "woe is unmarried me" complaint list, in that that she was sure she would have been a mother multiple times by this point in her life. Damn this show! Not that I wouldn't have been watching anyway, but I'm extremely nosy about what sent the seemingly stable and mature Sheila right over the tear-streaked cliff, especially after such a positive start.
