Carlin and Evan don't clean their own home or do chores all that often. I doubt they have any intention of being of use to Bill and Jane. I would imagine B&J will be praying for them to leave after just a couple hours, especially with their unruly kids who they barely manage to supervise. It is, however, really great content to demonstrate to their followers how concerned and responsible they are and how they respect their elders. So, we'll get some shots of Layla wrestling a broom around the kitchen floor with Carlin supervising. Meanwhile, if there's a tractor, we'll be treated to video of Evan racing around the farm with Zade bouncing on his lap, no seatbelt or helmet, of course. In other words, they will pretend to be helpful, but will actually be a hindrance.

It absolutely did. There were jury members and others who discounted the documented incidents of domestic violence by OJ towards Nicole despite multiple police reports, photos of her injuries and trips to the hospital. OJ even went to court and pled no contest to the charges. Yet, more than one juror said that they personally did not believe that just because a man beat his wife, it meant that he was capable of killing her. 'Believe women' was not a thing back then, at all.

Why choose? Two showers is twice as much attention for Jill. I expect it will be in Ohio since Nurie and Nathan and kids are up there once a month or so anyway

For all her bragging about her Plexus Trip, I think the most recent one with Dave is the first one she's done. She went to the national meeting in Nashville, but that's not a reward for anything. Jill rambled on and on last fall about taking a cruise with Plexus rewards, but she didn't go. Either she didn't meet the qualifying sales numbers or they didn't have the money to pay their airfare since all these trips do not include transportation.

I found her to be a little hard to take. She's moving to Spain but knows no one there other than the realtor? Yet, she needs space to entertain 20 or more guests? I get some family or friends may visit at some point, but, with only 1 spare bedroom, most are going to sleep elsewhere. She is going to have to get busy making friends locally if she wants to hold big parties. I also found her 'I am stubborn and always get my way' schtick annoying. It's not the realtor's fault she wanted every amenity under the sun and wanted to pay a pittance for it. It doesn't work that way, and, having traveled and lived all other the world, she must surely know that by now. And, how does someone with her extensive travel background, decide to move somewhere permanently while apparently doing nothing to learn the language before arriving? All in all, I found her sort of vapid and overly impressed with herself.

Your guess is as good as mine. The entire subject has been dropped this season, not a mention either way.

If nothing else, the fact that families tend to be dispersed all over the countryside and at least some of these farflung people want to attend in person or send a gift, it often means the family of the bride or mom to be has to get involved in the planning/hosting. Also, maybe its just me, but it seems like, back in olden times, there would often be several small showers: one for family, another for friends, maybe another for coworkers. Nowadays, more people seem to want to rent a hall and have a one big bash for the whole thing. As for why Nurie needs a baby shower, she doesn't. JILL DOES. Memaw wants the world to know she is getting a grand daughter and undoubtedly has registered for grandma gifts for herself. Remember when she was pregnant with Janessa and Nurie and the older girls held a 'Let's Pamper Mama' shower? The only things on the registry were things for Jill including new bedding. It's quite possible, that all these years later, Jill needs a new comforter and sheets to celebrate her grandmotherhood. It's not too late for Jill to get a brand new Kitchen Aide mixer.

This is particularly true when one of the teams has proven to have a skill that will be valuable across the board in every leg. Danny, for all his dumb ideas about forming alliances, seems to be a map savant compared to most of the other teams. He's able to find the fastest way to almost anywhere and he and his mother have the right driver/navigator chemistry that they don't get bogged down in bickering like so many other teams. And, odds are, they is going to be some element of navigation in virtually every leg. Meanwhile, they know that Angie is not one of the stronger, faster racers. However, there is no guarantee that the tasks will lend themselves to other teams helping out if she has issues. It worked this leg, but there are plenty of other times when no amount of collaboration with others is going to help her overcome her deficiencies. That's why Danny is wrong if he thinks leading other racers around to the challenges is going to be beneficial to his team in the long run. Sooner or later, he will lead the group to a roadblock or detour that his mother will be incapable of doing and which doesn't contain an element that another team could help her with and they will be left in the dust. Of course, the other teams have become complacent, not even bothering to figure out the routes on their own, just following Danny. But, if Danny leads them astray figuring its their turn to find their own way, the risk is that the other teams will decide not to help Angie the next time she is inevitably having a hard time with a task, Using his navigational skills to pull out in front of all the teams who don't navigate well is a better strategy, IMO.

Of course, it is his job and his duty as an attorney to represent Simpson and his family's interests. Nobody begrudges him for doing the job he is paid to do (well, maybe a little for taking it in the first place, but everyone is entitled to legal representation). It is the fact that he is all butt-hurt and offended that the Goldman legal reps didn't wait a respectful length of time before answering the press' query as to the status of the judgement they won. Nobody is 'shitting' on OJ or his family, other than OJ himself for the past 30 years. I am not sure what would be considered an appropriate lag after a death before admitting that the deceased's estate is going to be responsible for a debt that wasn't paid while he was alive. Seems like a no brainer to me. Of course they want their money and OJ's death is not going to change that.

If I were Jinger, I'd be questioning my life, too.

It is particularly interesting how Simpson's attorney/executor claimed he only made those statements because, when the press contacted the Goldman family lawyers they immediately stated they would pursue the estate. He found that insulting to OJ's memory and disrespectful to his family. While OJ, of course, had been nothing but respectful of Ron Goldman's memory over the years as he hid his assets and repeatedly stated he was never giving Goldman's family anything. I hope Goldman collects every dime owed the family, except we know he won't. For the record, I think if you brutally stab a man's son to death and refuse to pay a civil judgment, it's hard to see why the family of the victim owes any respect at all.

Well, no, the excessive number of pillows and blankets is not safe no matter where he is sleeping.

Me too! Wouldn't mind having her wardrobe and jewelry too.

I really liked The Good Wife, too., especially the seasons before Archie left. It was sharp and funny and the characters were well-rounded people who were basically likeable but had their flaws. The writing was witty and incisive. I also love Christine Baranski in just about anything. I was in high school when AITF debuted and I rarely watched although my parents did. And I loved a lot of CBS comedies of that era like MASH, Mary Tyler Moore and The Bob Newhart show. AITF just seemed so mean spirited and nasty. Same reason I never got into Roseanne. I get it, families have their differences, sometimes they argue; but I don't need to see nastiness all the time everywhere and I don't find it funny.

It seems like they're paid by the word or something. Not sure why they bothered bringing 4 onboard at the same time. Two new midwives would've been plenty. Then, if other cast leave this season, they can add 2 more next year. My nephew was an only child at the time of his death, my sister had 2 more kids after that. In both cases, she signed them up for swimming class as soon as they were old enough and she had a friend who was a good swimmer attend class with them. My sister asked her to take them and bring them home and never speak of what went on in class because she wouldn't be able to stand it. She was adamant that her kids learned to swim, but felt like she would've hindered the process had she been forced to participate. They both swim well and are now adults, college grads, have good jobs and caring spouses. Not to mention my niece being mother to the most perfect child ever born. Life does go on.
