Trapper John MD.  My lust for Pernell Roberts has been resurrected.  What a wonderfully handsome man and that voice is an aphrodisiac!  Didn't really appreciate him that much on Bonanza but he aged beautifully and was super sexy.  You Tube has all the eppies 

I guess I should fit something about the show in here.  I'll have to give that some thought...

Not watching, but I heard Tsitsipas choked big time against Ugo Humbert. Broken when serving for the match and lost a marathon tiebreak (Humbert won it 15-13, forcing a third set).

I saw the repeat and he more than made quick work of Humbert in the 3rd, 6/1.

Its not true. She did a handful of 227 episodes in its final season

Handful? Final season?   The math is mathing here, my friend. 

Frank is such trash for this and for the Charles Shaunnessy hire.  Calling Frank up and telling him you have time on your hands and getting a job...My god!  The privilege 

And if this cast wasn't already morbidly obese, I would welcome CS with open arms, but that is not the case.  

Roger has yet to retire.  He takes breaks because, at 40, he's not able to play a calenders year.  He picks and chooses his tournies, much like Serena (and now Rafa). Roger has also had a few surgeries he needed to recover from.  

The twins are horrible people.  Kosine does not know how to apologize?  Whether or not you think its sincere, its an apology.  Imagine going to school with evil twins like that?  Would not have mind if LeMisha had clocked at least one of them.

And on estimate, how long has Kiely been waiting for the girls to beg her to perform?  I'd say when casting began.  She seems to think folks want her autograph.  Yikes!

Love me some Shane/Mr. Sheffield! Have no clue what he will do in GH's bloated cast, though.

GH don't need him!  

Was looking forward to Coco G vs Vika.  I blinked and it was over (6/1 in the second set).  Vika is another player that has very little inspiration [at times] if Serena is not on the other end. 

Sloane Sloane Sloane...sigh

Discus...

Everyone gets a raise and Angela Bassett gets $450k+/eppy!

Hinds (Henny) and a few other cast members [of color] were upset that Oliver Stark (Sucky Bucky) is on their pay scale when he has not really done everything else (Into The Badlands is it).  He does not have the work history and was the only under classmen of the show to get a raise last year.  Negotiations took a while.

As long as Queen Angie gets her bag, I'mma stay off my soapbox for now.

Go Portia! I love that she shows backbone with Stella. Go somewhere else with that mess. I am a GROWN-ASS woman!

It was the reason I tuned in today.  She got that witch!  

Alan is off the mark.  It has nothing to do with the past writing.  Frank has rewritten it to make Hayden the focus upon her return at the same time Cameron will debut.

Was it the old school regime's fault when Frank decided to rewrite Stanco in as a Quartermaine in 2013 and then rewrite the rewrite to make him Scotty and Heather's abomination?

Lord knows I loves me a soapbox rant but I think the retcon is simply building to a Ryan/GreenPea reunion.  Everyone is talking up Hayden and Cam's debut is on the horizon.  This is not a coincidence.  If Frank has to make the entire canvas look stupid to re/introduce new pets, he's gonna do just that.  

Oh and Gladys is a damn hoot!  Lose Blando, Sasha and the baby nobody asked for and keep Gladys.  She is my kind of grifter!  

So Zoya just turned 14 and so far, she's kissing Obie (at 13) and a teacher took pictures of her in her underwear as part of revenge against the mean kids.  

Why in the sam hell would I want to see a 14 year old's love life w/in a group of people who look 25 - 30?  

I thought the character was 16 so I will no longer be watching this.  

Djoker was wasting time and energy in Japan.  He should focus on the CYGS.  There's a huge target on his back.  Everyone in the field is going to want to be a Vinci.  

He needs to get in his pod and only come out for practice!

I’m sure Will Smith’s name got it made, but I still think he’s miscast. Maybe he’ll prove me wrong. Someone like a Carl Lumbly (who would’ve been perfect, even if he’d been several years older than the real Richard circa the ‘90s), Don Cheadle, Mahershala Ali, or Sterling K. Brown would have been better.

Sterling!!!!  Yes!  That man can ACT!

I was going to skip King Richard until I saw Anjanue Ellis as Oracene.  Should have started with that.  All of the black actors in Hollywood and Will Smith is the best they could do?  He must be financially tied to the project. 

Oh and Svitolina needs her head examined.  She is in a slump that is lasting a lot longer than it should.

Simone went out of her way to come up with routines no other gymnast would dare to attempt so what does the abuse she sustained [at the hands of these people] have to do with this?  

I guess my problem is using "mental health" as a reason.  I would be ok if she just said "I was making too many errors so I needed to let someone else take the lead".  

Mental health concerns is now the go to?

It makes what Venus and Serena did over decades even more incredible. The fact that there are no Americans left in singles (are there any left in doubles?) makes it clear how much the Williams were carrying the U.S. tennis on their backs, even during the Olympics. Venus, at damn near 40, still managed a silver medal in MXD and might have gotten gold with a higher caliber partner.

The appreciation I currently have for Venus and Serena right now is immeasurable!  

I think Simone dropped out because she was making errors and didn't want to take the team out of medal contention.  A disgrace!  I'd rather she fall 100 times than to drop and then hop on the mental health bandwagon.  That will certainly shield you from accountability!  A [!@#$%^&*] Olympian quitting at the most crucial moment?  I'm disgusted...

I think this is actually a case of the writers forgetting the show's history. Either that, or Steffy is unaware of where the name Hayes came from.

And the whole situation with Carter is contrived - especially the idea that out of all the lawyers in LA, Eric would trust Carter to represent him in the divorce. It's right up there with new parents Steffy and Finn offering Paris to come live with them.

I guess if there was anything left in terms of psychological realism, it just went out the window this week.  

Is that even legal?

Naomi out.  Vondrousova played a really good match but Naomi didn't look too interested.  

Quite the bloodbath...

Swiatek out (Badosa)

Sabalenka out (Vecik)

Kvitova out (Van Uytvanck)

Swiatek sat in her chair and sobbed.

Lawd!  I just don't know where to begin.  

Don't care that Aubrey is gone but Nivea     She truly has a good soul and didn't come for the cameras but to make music.  

The twins are evil beasts!  They don't work well with others are no one hardly knows who they are for them to be torturing folks this way!

Coco Gauff out of Tokyo.  She tested Covid positive.
