Shermie

She obviously has everything permanently tattooed - eyebrows, eyeliner. Probably has some sort of permanent eyelash implants. I mean, her weird duck lip implant is so distracting, I can’t concentrate on anything she says. So that make Rome the Little Red Hen of Survivor.

I agree with this but I have a feeling you meant to put a "not" in there so we'll have to agree to disagree if so 🙂. Yes, you are correct. I fixed it.

Well, he didn’t pepper his conversation with too many “uh’s”, so I guess there’s that. No, Stephen, Canada’s Conservative Party leader is not the equivalent of Trump. Ugh. I hate when the left automatically equates any political leader on the right as being “like Trump”. Come up with a better and more legitimate argument. Trudeau did okay, a lot of fluff. Colbert asks about his youthful Star Wars enthusiasm and career as a teacher, but not about his history doing blackface at parties. I mean, he can’t talk about everything, and he did touch on the potential (and failed) non-confidence vote in Parliament.

This has always been one of my favourite movies. What are people’s thoughts about the theory that the whole movie is Cameron’s dream and that Ferris doesn’t really exist? I mean, it’s impossible to do everything they did in one school day - watch a ball game, have a fancy lunch, go to a museum, hang out by the pool, watch a parade.

Does anyone know if there’s a reason why almost all the main characters’ names are so unusual? I mean Truvy, Ouiser, M’Lynn, Annelle, Clairee, Drum.

Yes, that’s a stupid trust fund. It’s terribly unfair to the oldest child, who may never get the money if Daddy keeps knocking up his mistresses. I enjoyed this for what it was, and I always enjoy Nicole Kidman. For all the criticism about her plastic surgery, which I’m used to, I thought the actress playing the French woman was way more, um, surgeried. She literally looked like she was a plastic doll, complete with Cupid-bow lips. Very distracting to watch her. I kind of liked Benji, at least he was the best of the 3 sons. The oldest was just an unlikable prick, and the youngest was such a shaky bag of neurosis. Didn’t understand all the women swooning over Tag, I guess I don’t think Liev Schreiber is all that. He’s okay looking, but I know 20 guys in my town at his age who are better looking. Does Dakota Fanning always have a hunch, or was that for her character? Being pregnant and/or being a uncaring slouch? I do enjoy the whole “everybody had motive and opportunity, can you guess who did it” trope. I don’t see the point in creating individual episode threads for a 6-ep one-off show. I’ve read many of Elin Hildebrand’s books, but not this one. I do agree there were too many side plots. However, I do tire of shows that have an endless cast of unlikable rich assholes. Even rich people can be nice and not behave like self-centred entitled douches all the time.

What’s DL? And what’s OMITB? Enough with the acronyms. Seriously, everybody can’t watch everything. I mean, it’s RJSFAAP.

Seems like all her marriages had messy, complicated endings. She also seems to surround herself with overly processed, plastic people; even her construction guy has perfect chiclet teeth. I realize it’s California, but it seems a bit much. I feel sorry for her kids. She does do nice work though. A recent ep had her redo a home for a woman who had a stroke 5 years ago (and was doing remarkably well). She did a bar area with a desk area beside it, and a large sliding barn door to cover one or the other. While you work, the bar is covered; in the evening, the office is covered. So clever! I want.

Thank goodness Kevin and Gurleen are gone. Ugh, I can’t stand players that are overly impressed by their own alleged awesomeness. I’m surprised they were actually just minutes from not being eliminated. Usually the editors make it look like the last two teams are really close, but they really aren’t. In this case, if Kevin had taken Gurleen’s advice to ask for directions they might not have been eliminated. Ruh-ruh. What reality show will they turn up on next? This. And I like all four remaining teams, but am so tired of alpha males winning these things. I’d be good with either pair of women winning this, but if I have to pick a fave, then I’m cheering for the twins.

Just watched the Patricia Arquette episode, what a lovely woman she is! (Plus she reminds me so much of Gillian Anderson; lordy, they could be twins.) The elderly lady she helped was her mother’s close friend who became a mother figure to her after her own mother died. So many thoughtful touches and I love those upper cabinets that pull down so a short person can access them. Also loved the red kitchen, so unusual.

So fun to see Elora and the quarry and the Museum & Archives; I’ve been to all these places many times. And I know Steven Kitras from the glass studio! I’m really hoping the twins are bridesmaids over and over, and end the race as the “brides”.

Yup! There was a lot of gagging, though. The brains didn’t look cooked enough. I think the balls would have been a better choice. Depends on texture. Kevin and Gurleen can go anytime. Kevin has a punchable face. Completely agree. Of course, she has to talk about a ring; I’m guessing she’s one of these fiancée-zillas who micromanages what kind of ring she gets and it has to cost as much as 5 mortgage payments. (And then whines that they can’t afford the kind of upscale house she wants) They had their villain moment, were proven wrong, and humiliated. They’ve served their purpose. I give that relationship a year, tops. Gurl, you need to escape that toxic asshole.

Ugh, when Kevin and Gurleen go, it will be a time to celebrate. I cannot abide by teams that are both mean and cocky. Kevin is just a jackass, and he knows it and revels in it. For that, he needs to go. Gurleen didn’t know the meaning of the word “fiction”, so for that, she needs to go.

Not surprised by the winner, although finding out she was pregnant it’s a wonder she had the energy to do this. I wonder why no one did any outdoor work beneath the houses. They all had this huge sheltered space below that went unused. I dunno, maybe in that are they’re supposed to leave it clear? I thought a swinging bench or something would have worked well. And those who added outdoor kitchens with sinks, did they add plumbing? Same with the outdoor shower; that’s a long way to run plumbing. Whatever, I enjoyed the show for what it was.

I have a real issue with the casting of Aemond. The actor is great, to be sure, but his look is all wrong to be Alicent and Viserys’s child. At least Aegon looks like he could be their son, same fuller face and wavy hair, same middling height and build. But Aemond is tall and skinny with bony features and straight hair. Plus, he always looks like he’s doing duck lips for a selfie. If anything, he looks like he could be Daemon’s son but not Alicent and Viserys’s. Adding that he’s supposed to be Aegon’s younger brother but looks way older.
