  1. This is the finale, not the reunion, but it ties in. I hate the past few seasons with all of Jeffy's cut-ins. We already have enough of his obnoxiousness shoved down our throats during that 3 hours. We don't need any more. Plus it makes the game footage seem very disjointed, IMO. Also, he started doing the cut-ins around the same time as when his short-lived talk show flopped. Coincidence? I doubt it. I think he needed something to try to boost his ego after his talk show failed.
  2. I rewatched on CBS All Access last month. "Primitive" is the adjective that kept coming into my mind when comparing it to later seasons. I miss the gong as well. I DO NOT miss Jeffy Pooh's challenge comments and commentaries when I watch the early seasons. I find the silence very refreshing. I actually came here to post a link. I found this product while looking at shower chairs this afternoon. I wonder if Dr. Alphabet Voter knows about it. :-) https://www.ils-hme.com/Catalog/Online-Catalog-Product/22799/Superpole-Basic
  3. If he happens to talk in his sleep, then he probably only has one mode: Obnoxious. I've been calling him "Douche" Foley since the start of the season.
  4. From Shane's mouth to Kass' tribe mates' votes, please!! Regardless of the likelihood of her being a goat again, I think it would be a very smart move on the part of her tribe to vote her out ASAP so that she doesn't have a chance to flip at the merge or a pre-merge tribe swap. Also, the sooner that Abi, Andrew, and Vytas are are gone, the happier I will be. I had to resort to voting for people who I dislike, just because I despise these 4 so much. I'm really bummed about Crazy Shane, T-Bird, and Sabrina not being chosen. All 3 of them got my vote every day--Shane for the sheer entertainment value of his antics, and T-Bird and Sabrina because they were likeable and good social players in their first seasons.
  5. I agree that the tweets are inappropriate, but Shonda should just choose to not engage. Most of the time she's just as bad as Isaiah Washington was last year when all those pre-teens and teens were tweeting crap to him. And if these celebs can't take the heat, then they should stay out of the kitchen.
  6. On what grounds are you basing such a concrete statement? Are you a Shondaland or ABC insider, or do you have someone giving you inside information? These are curiosity questions.
  7. Unfortunately there are a lot of people acting that way. The only person I'm convicting of anything is Shonda for writing such a craptastic final episode for Derek and lack of decent aftermath following his death.
  8. That was not a "mea culpa, I admit to my past scandals" interview. There was a quote from him, and that part of the article alluded to the possibility of him having one night stands in the past, IF you read into his comments rather than taking them at face value. Also, while the passage of time can allow change, it certainly does not mean a person HAS changed, therefore this article should not be dismissed solely because it is 7 years old. For the record, I am not in a "Patrick is Saint McDreamy who can do no wrong" camp. I know that he's an imperfect human just like the rest of us. I AM in a camp of "Patrick is innocent until PROVEN guilty and there has yet to be any proof of wrongdoing on his part." I am also in a camp of being fed up with people across the internet who believe unfounded gossip about anyone, then go about bashing that person and drawing even more negative conclusions about them. And I'm in a camp of being fed up with people across the internet who find it necessary to post a contradictory (and many times unfounded) comment about anything positive said about or in defense of someone or something just for the sake of arguing.
  9. BUT, in the first paragraph, Patrick is described as a "serial monogamist," which means that he would never be with more than one woman at a time, let alone 10. That is an argument against the affair(s). It was the overall gist of the article that I was referring to, not the hair-splitting detail of one night stand vs. affair.
  10. This is from 2008, but it's a good argument against the affair gossip. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20199235,00.html
  11. Just for clarification, I do not expect any of the things that I listed to actually happen, and I'm not going to spend any time hoping that they will because I think it would be a waste of my time. I suspect that the chances of hell freezing over, pigs flying, a real zombie apocalypse occurring, etc. are greater than the chances of any of my listed items occurring. I was simply listing them as things that would pacify me, not as things that I think will happen.
  12. Once again, IF and when these stories come from documented sources via reputable media outlets, I will give them their due. Until then, no. Every one of those sites is nothing but a trashy gossip site.
  13. Thank you, SGFan! This articulates my feelings well for the most part. There are a few things that would at least somewhat "satisfy"/"pacify" me: 1. Shonda owning up to her ego and diva behavior and taking responsibility for her role in whatever went on behind the scenes. 2. If it was Shonda's people and/or ABC who planted the articles about Patrick's so-called "diva" behavior, own up to that and publish retractions about any part of those articles that were false, and apologize to Patrick for it. 3. Shonda and ABC acknowledging how much this has upset so many fans and apologizing for that. 4. Shonda owning up to how craptastically the whole thing was done and apologizing to Patrick and the fans for the huge slap in the face that this is. I don't believe that any of the other actors or crew had anything to do with it, therefore I don't believe that they deserve the vitriol that they are being subjected to. I do, however, believe that Shonda and possibly ABC deserve the vitriol that calls them out on their crap. At the same time, I do not believe that they deserve any sort of threats, abuse, or "sick" or "disgusting" comments that people may be making towards them.
  14. 1. What cheating? He admitted to cheating on his first wife, yes, but has always maintained that he would never cheat on Jillian. 2. That's quite the assumption that his wife who was filing for divorce and trying to get custody of their children would not say anything dishonest about him and intentionally try to make him look bad.
  15. 1. Note the "Entertainment Network" at the top of the site includes National Enquirer and Star which are both well-known tabloids that publish nothing but false and unsubstantiated garbage. 2. It's pretty much the exact same article as this one: http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2015/04/patrick-dempsey-fired-from-greys-anatomy-for-poor-work-ethic-unp/ The 2 articles are practically carbon copies of each other. Consider the sources/media outlets that the Patrick bashing is coming from. None of the sources are documented and none of the media outlets have even the slightest reputation for good, honest reporting.
  16. Exactly. If and when this information comes from documented, verified sources via reputable media outlets, I'll give it it's due. Until then, no. Unfortunately, people are so eager for any information that they will grab onto nuggets from anywhere. Hence the success of crap like "National Enquirer." It's a sad reflection on society that this happens, and even sadder that it's perpetuated by those who are uninformed and refuse to become informed.
  17. I fully believe Mimi's tweet. I'd just like to see the fan outcry addressed honestly, without being trivialized in a statement that's an obvious load of PR bulllsh*t.
  18. Everyone except the person responsible (Shonda), that is. I'm not impressed by that tweet. Great that they said stuff to Patrick. Now how about publicly acknowledging the fans without trivializing it. I hope people know that site is satire. I wouldn't have known without the explanation in the link provided.
  19. I think it further shows that Patrick did nothing to deserve this, except fight for his character and the terms of his contract, and that Shonda is desperately trying to cover her a$$. LOL. I'm envisioning this happening in an "A Few Good Men" type of dialogue: "Did you want to fire Patrick Dempsey and kill McDreamy?! Did you order him killed?! I want the TRUTH!!" "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!" **Waves hand wildly** Like me and a number of people I know! If it had been Patrick's decision to break his contract, or even not renew when he did, because he wanted to move on, I would have COMPLETELY respected that and would have wished him all the best. I, however, have ZERO tolerance and respect for someone who is such a petty, vindictive, egomaniacal b*itch that she falsely vilifies others, writes the character out in an insulting and demeaning way, and then won't even stand up and take responsibility for her actions. ^^^^^THIS! To Infinity and Beyond!
  20. There's very likely a lot of truth to this. Look at the ridiculous storylines that Izzie got once the Heigl stuff started: Shocking a deer, Gizzie, ghost sex. And this is more evidence of just how much of a petty and vindictive person Shonda is.
  21. Same here. She is, at best, the other Dr. Shepherd. Derek always has and always will be THE Dr. Shepherd.
  22. I realize that this was only Patrick's side of the story, but I hardly consider fighting for your contract and your character being a "diva," "too big for your britches," or "bossing people around." I also agree with those who have commented about how much more gracious ABC's statement was than Shonda's statement was. I think that, the track record of actors leaving the show, how the characters were written out, and articles stating the full context of Shonda's "No assholes" policy speaks volumes about who the real diva is: Almighty (in her not-so-humble opinion) Shonda. Her self-aggrandizing tweets show that as well.
  23. It also would've been far more realistic based on past stories. Back in whatever season (8 or 9, maybe?) that Mere had her genetic workup done to see if she has the Alzheimer's gene, Derek had his done too. Derek had the gene for some sort of cancer, I want to say prostate or testicular, as well as the gene for male pattern baldness. Of course, doing something realistic would require the continuity fairy to stop smoking her crack pipe for awhile, which will never happen in Shondaland. I have to wonder, though, if a lot of fans still would see that as a slap in the face to Patrick, given that his mother died from cancer and cancer research/treatment is his big cause that he supports. I think I would've seen it as a slap in the face to him, but still far more dignified than dying due to contrived circumstances and medical incompetence.
  24. ^^^^^THIS. To Infinity And Beyond. I've read some articles, including at least one since Thursday, that say that the full context of Shonda's "No assholes" policy is that SHE is the only one allowed to be an asshole/diva. IF and when I'm motivated to go back and look for the articles, I'll link to them. It really sounds to me like Shonda needs to get over herself and stop burning bridges with actors. If she's not smarter and more careful, SHE'S going to end up as just another Hollywood Has-Been.
  25. Somebody posted this on Patrick's Facebook page. I wish I'd been clever enough to think of it!!
