Sansa - Like you and probably others, I thought the little brat was getting what she deserved in S2, but that changed in 1/2 an eppy because I realized that she was just a girl dreaming of marrying a king, but the reality of it all is harsh. No one deserves a Joffrey! Joffrey - this guy is a monster, but God help me, I love him. Jack Gleeson is terrific and is true gold! He cracks me up, but of course, you see just how small he is when Tyrion checks him. He's slapped him twice. Joffrey is evil and wants everyone to fear him. They do. When he went off and basically called Tywin a coward, the room became very cold. EVERYONE knew what a mistake Joffrey had made. Joff realized it as well, but he had to maintain a brave front. I loved the scene a few eppies prior when Joff was upset because Tywin left him out of the council meeting. He held it elsewhere because he knew it would be an inconvenience to Joff. Joff complained about having to treck up a bunch of stairs, and Tywin countered "you can be carried up the stairs". I absolutely lost it. I love me some Tywin Lannister! Cersei - Lena Headey is such a brilliant actress, and I love her portrayal of this character. She does not skip a beat. Cersei trying to stand up to Tywin by saying she was not going to marry the Tyrell guy was great because you could see that she really wasn't standing up to Tywin - just in denial. She went in there and sold out Tyrion only to be forced into a marriage herself. She has no control over Joffrey, is grateful for Tyrion's presence so that she won't have to be Tywin's biggest disappointment and deep down is a little child trying to stay on daddy's good side. Jamie - meh. Jamie with one less hand? 1/2 meh!

Cheap, Jos asking is the event on a Monday or Tuesday was hilarious! Mimi and her white girl makeup was atrocious! Traci Steele is going to be the death of this show! I'm just not feeling it anymore

Sadly, the best part of this series, for me, was Candace and Jim on the stairs! I was LMAO and rewound about 10 times. They did a great job with that one! Benny is so damn hot! Where's Darcy? Celine is ridiculous, and I know Eva Tamargo has got to be rolling her eyes. She went from 0 to 5 million with nothing in between, and that has to be frustrating for an actor. They want to play these things out so that their characters don't look foolish. Right now, Celine looks foolish!

Tywin Lannister...

Absolutely! It's a sin we have to wait so long for S4! I love this show more than so many things!

I was watching Isner play Karlovic, and it was so very painful watching those 2 giants try to out ground-stroke one another. Not surprising that neither won the tourney.

I'm not even going to get on my soap box about that last scene. Nope! Not gonna do it! What I'm dreading is that Dany will be used as THE answer to Tywin. Did he ignore Joffrey's warning about Dany and the dragons because Tywin has already given that thought or are they using his eagerness to not listen to Joff as an "a ha" moment? That would really piss me off because Tywin is not a fool and he takes all threats seriously. The man is a forward thinker and a true ruler, so he better not be dumbed down for any reason. I'm still mourning the loss of my Catelyn and the hot Robb I didn't notice this guy until he became King of the North. I was super happy the bitch wife bought it though

I'm going to hope for S4 that they have gotten all of the separation out of their system, so that they have less to focus on and won't waste so much time. The family members were all over the place, and they tried to tell the stories of each. That ate up way too much time. If Charles Dance (Tywin) is not nominated for an Emmy, and wins, I am not sure if I will recover. No matter what Tywin did, the character is fantastic, and the actor is a God! At first I thought Bill Nighy would be a better choice, but I was mistaken. Tywin is needed, and he spends very little time reminding people who he is. He can show you better than he can tell you. I love this man. I don't like the Starks being picked off the way they have been, but it's Tywin, so I accept it!

Very disappointing season finale, but eppy 9 was EVERYTHING! I still can't believe it. I knew Rob might not survive the season, but Cat? Wow! You can't get attached to any character, but I don't see Tyrion ever being killed off. Tywin Lannister is amongst some of televisions greatest bad asses! That man excites me!!!!! And anytime the Lannisters have a sit down at any table (Tywin, Tyrion and Cersi), I know the scene is going to be spectacular! They have not disappointed me yet, and I'd love a compilation of those scenes. I am emotionally drained now... ETA: The is the second time we have ended with Dany for no real reason. There was so many ways to end this season, and that was not one of them. She is no closer to that damn throne than she was before, so I'm scratching my damn head here! Landon, I owe you big time! Thanks so much for providing S3 for me because I was going nuts!

Oh, that's very good! Super good! You know, I don't know how much more of this Andy Murray talk I can take. They are acting like he saved the damn Crown or something! I can't stand the sight of him!

Prepping Joseline to compete with Bey and Ri? Not that they are the greatest, but what is Steebie going to do about Jose's talent or lack thereof?

They both look great, but JI?! I'm beginning to see him in a new light! Yikes!

LMAO!

TP sure know how to keep us women folk in our places. Now, Amanda can go back to dressing like an 11 year old because the rape was her fault!

Yes Cheap! TP does it all, which is why this show will never meet its true potential! The rape was too soon and God help this person who plays Amanda. If each scene on this damn show was not 9 minutes long, the story leading up to the rape could have played out over several eppies and not 1/2 an hour! Now, things seem to be getting interesting, but I don't think I care TP disgusts me!

I was watching the Swedish Open (new tourney?), and Dimitrov was playing the #1,032nd player in the world who tookk him to 3 sets. Funny thing is, I had no idea there was such a thing as 1,032 male players on the circuit. The things we learn Not surprised by the women's #s.

When did Mignon get a voice?

Traci hates drama, yet she's always at the epicenter of it all! [!@#$%^&*] hate her, the fake ass story and Drew! Erica will call the police and then go stand by that dumb [!@#$%^&*]'s side. Why would she have an argument with Mama Dee and then take her with to pawn the ring?! Oh, and Erica, I'm gonna need you to factor in the Consignment Fee while you are calculating your extra $5k. You may not even see that because sometimes CF's can be as much as a 1/3 of the selling price! You may want to just sell the damn thing outright! I'm just not seeing what this show used to be at all. How else will she stay relevant?

Eric, what is the sam hell is going on in your signature?!

Happy Belated Birthday Priz! Unfortunately, a new rivalry has begun, but I can't stand the sight of half! Ugh!

I was thinking the exact same thing! Roger could very easily miss the top 8 by YE. He's not winning the US Open (so sorry to have to say this), so he better pretend to be Wosniacki, Safina and Jankovic and play any tourney he can get his racket on. These 3 women made it to #1 w/out winning a slam because they played so many tournaments in between slams. Not sure there is anything to worry about with Tsonga, but Berdych and Del Po have beaten Fed in key matches before. Going out in R2 at Wimby, his best surface? We may have a problem. Don't even want to think about Murray winning Correction: Buzzard didn't win, Djoker lost playing that awful amateur match

Ugh

Men's Championship: Murray takes first set ( )! Dkojer has very few winners, but he has been known to start slow on quite a few occasions. I fully anticipate the beast in set 2!
