He seems really delightful.

Isn't Rachel about the same age as Tate and Holly? I think I remember they were all Trick or Treating last year together.

https://www.oregonlive.com/collegefootball/2023/09/pac-12-chaos-judge-sides-with-wsu-and-osu-brings-board-business-to-temporary-halt.html An update on the Pac 2. This article is probably behind a pay wall, but it offers a really good overview of today's legal proceedings. https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-another-win-for-oregon-state?r=1hd9uv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I understand grunting when hitting the ball, but Sabalenka doesn't do just that. She whines for an extended period of time, completely muffling any sound the ball might make. Her whining was more pronounced when her game was in jeopardy. I guess elite athletes have much better focus than the average viewer, but it seems like she uses vocalization as a weapon, and it doesn't seem fair.

Sabalenka's noise making is ridiculous.

Beavers looking good at the half. Still think a Sunday game really weird, but at least they're on CBS rather than PAC 12(2) at Night.

Leo's British accent was something.

Why didn't Oliver go to an emergency dentist to get the tooth fixed that evening? There are emergency dentists in rural Oregon, certainly he could find one in Manhattan. Maybe instead of Ben's mother, Loretta child is Ben's brother who strangely went out of his way to land her a big tv audition. Maybe keeping clippings of Ben helped Loretta keep up with her son. I'm a little worried that Charles will end up a suspect. Why are they showing his strange black out moments and confirming he had a fight with Ben that caused the red mark?

I think so, too.

This commercial is more enjoyable because the actors are real brothers.

Apologies. I posted in the wrong place.

They're not very subtle with the want-to-be mayor character. He has the politician smirk down pat. It's obvious he's BAD with a capital B. I think they're also hinting the reason he dislikes Abe, Paulina, and Chanel is because he's a little bit racist. I wish his villainy was a little less obvious .

It reminded me a little of a song from the Jekyl and Hyde musical.

Brady was in love with Kristin; he doesn't really have the moral high ground to give her a hard time about Xander. re I am tired of Gabi and Stefan. Why can't they just enjoy one another and quit being so self-righteous.

Whoops. Note to self: check the forum title before posting.

Did they delay the runway because of lightning? I thought some time elapsed between final looks and the actual runway.

As long as FOX and ESPN control college football, re-alignment is going to continue happening to every remaining conference whenever media rights are renewed. Small market schools are going to pay the price because they don't bring the big bucks to Fox or ESPN.

I always wonder if the producers tell the islanders to drop a lot of F bombs. Even Bergie has done it a few times. It seems really forced, done to up the edginess. "We're not on basic cable anymore, viewers". I also think it's interesting that the new girls aren't as frequent with the F bombs (if they've said any at all). It's funny the girls were so angry at the boys for exploring their options, but the minute Harrison enters, all that outrage is overcome by their fascination for the new guy.

No Emmy nomination for Ghosts. What a surprise. 🙄

Were the chairs Megan tied Kristen and EJ to bolted to the floor? I kept wondering why they didn't just scoot the chairs together and untie each other's hands. Wendy's character has really changed since she first came to Salem. At first, she seemed competent and more interested in computers than her clothes. I miss that Wendy. I'm beginning to wonder if Megan drugged Li off stage. He's just so flat in everything he does...robotic.

Does anyone else think it's exploitative for Days to bring back all of the Black characters today? I hope the visiting actors got more than a one day gig.

I bought the movie on Amazon Prime last night and really enjoyed it. Such a sweet movie with an absolutely terrific cast. I hope its early availability doesn't mean it's doing poorly in theaters. I'm glad other people noted the adhesive pad/belt conundrum. I was wondering if maybe rural Oregon didn't get the new menstruation technology in the early 70s like East coast teens. I hope a few of these performances are remembered at Oscar time, but it's going to be hard for the academy to remember such a gem of a movie next January/February when nominations happen.

Has anyone else noticed a change in Camila Banus and Brandon Barash's acting styles. They seem so over the top in their scenes but shallow and surface level in their emotions.

Funny family story. I shared the first season of Ted Lasso with my visiting nephew. During Ted's 'practice' monologue, he started laughing, and I had no clue why he thought it was so funny. I think that scene may have made him a Ted Lasso fan.

If you compare the original celebratory dance in the pilot with the one after the big win, it is noticeably less enthusiastic.
