By the way, her hair is hideous. Also, while we're on the timeline subject, I'd had the impression from social media that Bab's stroke happened recently, but maybe not since it's already in the previews.

She just posted pics on Instagram of herself with 3 positive tests. Wow. I don't know what to think. I'm leaning towards miscarriage as well, though obviously I hope that's not the case. But how long ago was this filmed? WTH with the "massage" scene?! Seemed completely set up to me, but who knows why they'd set it up.

You can now buy tickets to see Jeremy in the Newsies musical that's showing at select theaters in February. It's only showing for 3 days, unfortunately. http://www.playbill.com/article/tickets-now-on-sale-for-disneys-newsies-the-broadway-musical-theatrical-release

Her dress is pretty, but the train is too much with preggo Jessa Blessa having to follow her around like a puppy to tend to it. Bridesmaids dresses are hideous. maybe wouldn't be so bad if they were all 1 color or a couple different colors, but some of the colors are awful.

I'm just not feeling it so far this season. So many things just seem so... off. Starting with the loss of Cat. Kara as a reporter is doing nothing for me, and James is quite literally non-existent (though I am curious about his upcoming storyline). But I was actually impressed when they had Maggie and Alex just grab hands and walk in like it was no biggie. I thought it was nice to have the attraction just play out naturally without all the anvils dropping and big lead-in that I assumed they would have for a "big reveal" of Alex's sexuality. But then poor Alex when Maggie's girlfriend showed up! I assume this isn't the end of things with them, though. I also enjoyed Mon-El and Winn's bromance. Poor Winn just doesn't seem to get out much- he was always at work, first Catco and now the DEO. I also laughed at his quip, "I'm five NINE!", and offering to design Mon-El's costume.

Yep, I was halfway through the episode before I even realized James hadn't been on at all. Then he just popped up towards the end. I don't get why he would be filling in for Cat. Oh, Cat....gonna miss ya, girl. Snapper is awful so far. I was fangirling over Winn's fangirling. Adorable.

Technicalities aside, I admit I am interested to see James and Winn teaming up. Will at least give the 2 of them something to do.

I really enjoyed it, especially Clark and Kara teaming up. I'm not sure if I like the new DEO, but I guess it's just new and may grow on me. They were dropping all sorts of anvils setting up an explanation for Cat not being around as much. I will miss her. Count me as one that never really liked the idea of Jimmy and Kara last season, but was disappointed with the abrupt ending of the relationship before it even began. While I think Winn is a good fit for the DEO, I really hope we see more depth to him this season rather than just 30 seconds every week of him blurting out nerdspeak while trapped at the DEO. JJ is capable of so much more.

So, the Veep debate is tonight. I imagine it won't be as riveting as last week's spectacle, but I suppose I'll watch anyway. Maybe Tim Kaine will bust out his harmonica.

Ana Navarro just called out Jeffrey on his "pathological need to mention Ronald Reagan in every sentence", among other things, and it was epic. As he's skyping from what I assume is his home with pictures of Ronnie covering the walls behind him. Also, I think Anderson has had about enough of this shizz.

I was watching Anderson and thought I heard him say be quiet, then convinced myself surely nothing so amazing would really happen, but then he came back on with the apology and I realized he really said it! Don't apologize! I would have snapped a long time ago if I had to try to herd those folks into civilized conversation every night for over a year. Tonight Erin mentioned something about Lewandowski receiving severance from Trump campaign when she introduced him.

In the late 90's she was accused (but never charged) of driving the getaway car after a murder, and then threatening to kill a judge involved with the case. She didn't deny. Of course it doesn't change the fact that Trump is slime, but his surrogates are jumping on it and I imagine won't be letting it go anytime soon. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/27/politics/alicia-machado-donald-trump-2016-election-anderson-cooper/

Interesting they haven't announced a wedding date yet. Or have they and I've somehow missed it? Going shallow here, but with that exaggerated raised brow, tightly scrunched forehead look J'Babe does constantly, his forehead is going to look like the Grand Canyon by the time he's 32. That's Jill's signature expression as well.

Anderson's interview with the Miss Universe was a bit uncomfortable. I'm afraid the revelations about her past are going to be used to discredit her experiences with Trump. And of course Kayleigh is one of the minions he has on talking about it.

"What paint color would Jana be?" Wow.

Yes, it certainly seems that way. Right now they're salivating over the map, looking for states to turn red to get Trump more electoral votes. I'm scared to hear their post debate commentary tonight.

Watching the coverage of Charlotte last night reminded me of high school when an argument broke out and people would gather around yelling, "Fight! Fight! Fight!", trying to egg them on. And it was CNN doing the egging with their, "Well SO FAR everything is peaceful...", and following them around looking for potential trouble. Then Don reminding everyone in the 11pm hour that they MIGHT just hear offensive language or see some violence, so best to not let the kids watch (I'm sure so many young kids are up watching CNN at 11pm). The way he kept talking about the approaching curfew, I'm surprised they didn't out up one of those countdown clocks on the screen. Although as someone from NC, I do appreciate Don having one of our upstanding (#sarcasm) politicians on and giving him just enough rope to hang himself under the guise of allowing him to "explain" his remarks that people of color just hate and are jealous of white people.

I saw a video of the speech elsewhere, but there's still been no mention of it on any of the CNN shows tonight.

Curious to know from anyone who has been watching during the day today if they had any discussion about Hillary's economic speech that focused on people with disabilities. I've been watching since I got home from work and they've said nothing about it at all so far. That's disappointing to me as a person with a disability whose job involves providing employment services to others with disabilities. I'd love for them to ask one of the Trump surrogates about his plans regarding my community. Or am I to assume that mocking us and trying to take away our healthcare are the gist of it?

Baaaaabe!!! Baaaaabbbbbe!!!! I sensed that Jer's mom wasn't exactly thrilled when he called her from the jewelers. I like Flame and feel bad the poor guy has Ben latching on. I continue to LOL every time Ben goes into hip hop mode.

I do believe they may be turning on him! Finally. But as ridiculous as the birther BS is, I can't help but wonder why this, after all the other things he's done and said, is what finally did it.

Let's just say I'm glad I don't have to release MY medical info because I'm pretty sure my blood pressure is increasing daily watching this mess unfold. I'm seriously starting to get very worried. And I will place a lot of the blame on the media, including CNN, if the unthinkable happens. Everyday I watch in horror as they legitimize every bizarre move of the Trump campaign while raking Hillary over the coals for every little thing. People are getting assaulted at his rallies (happened twice again this week here in NC), there's the taxes issue, the Russian issue...So many things that they should be covering thoroughly, yet they don't. But they are practically in death vigil mode for Hillary, showing the video of her stumbling again and again and asking numerous quacks whether her doctor's info is good enough. I know they need a horse race in order to drum up viewers, but it's getting ridiculous and frightening. At first I thought they were just trying so hard to not be labeled as "evil librul media", but BREAKING NEWS, CNN... he's going to call you the evil librul media regardless of what you do! Then I hoped they were just doing it for viewers during the disgrace of a primary season we endured, and would get more real after the conventions and as the election got closer and they had less to lose. But now I'm starting to believe the theory that some have floated that they might actually want Trump to win because his "presidency" would guarantee 4 more years of wacky antics to cover. You know, World War III, press conferences revealing the nuclear codes, probably impeachment proceedings at some point, etc. Until he shuts them down over some perceived slight, that is. By the way, who is that little dark-haired twit with the constant smirk on his face that has been on pimping Trump? He was on with Don last night and my TV almost didn't survive the experience.

So Boob is concerned about Jerm's "modest pastor salary", yet Ben being unemployed was ok and he even let him move onto their property and give him a "job" working for him?

Jerm kinda gives off a creeper vibe. All those photos of them in his apartment were a bit extreme. And Jinger acting like his apartment was the Taj Mahal or something.

Now they're freaking about the "deplorable" comment. As if Trump has been all sunshine and tolerance towards everyone for the past 1+ year.
