I wonder if the recent Ahmed and Hopkins wins suggest Chadwick isn’t as solid as I thought. Hard to know.

Yikes at Petra’s complete collapse against Svitolina in Stuttgart.

Melissa Villaseñor did impressions of John Mulaney, Sarah Silverman, and Kate McKinnon as host of the Independent Spirit Awards. Not sure why SNL doesn’t build skits around her impressions:

Hadn’t seen this but wonderful news.

Yeah, she seems well-equipped to navigate these ladies, and having a small cast benefits her both with the other ladies and the audience. More opportunities for Eboni to get to know the other women as well as more opportunities for the viewers to get to know Eboni. I wonder what she’ll bring in terms of family and career material. I am curious what happens when the booze (and other substances) really get flowing, and Sonja gets a little frisky lol. These shows really reward people who roll up their sleeves and get a little dirty, which is always fraught when you’re the only person of color amid a bunch of white women. Oh I completely agree. The existing relationships between the women add so many layers. In the case of Ramona/Sonja/Luann, they’ve all fûcked the same guys lol. Of course, when family gets involved things can turn toxic (early NJ, Kyle/Kim on BH), but NY has mostly kept things light.

I can’t get over how great Luann looks. Eboni seems funny and fantastic. I wonder how enmeshed she’ll become in the RHONY drama, as that’s a VERY incestuous cast with a lot of history. Leah seemed to jump in head first.

Speaking of Germany, a German friend sent me this:

The Pliskobot malfunctioned right on the verge of beating Ash Barty:

These ladies look amazing.

From Brazil 🇧🇷

Flashback:

Finola Hughes is a gem. She withstands a lot of iffy-to-bad acting. Shawn’s sexy self is back.

Indeed. Their taste level is subterranean.

Yeah, the writing is doing him no favors. If they are going to use him on a recurring basis, why use him like this?

From Spain 🇪🇸

Netflix has released The Great British Bake-off and a few reality series on a weekly basis, which has worked well. It also sustains the social media chatter over a longer period of time. Not sure WandaVision would have had the legs with just a dump...

LOL. My favorite kerfuffle is Serena telling Maria Jose Martinez Sánchez, “I’m gonna get you in the locker room for that. You don’t know me!”

He’s gorgeous and seemed very sweet. He’s very close friends with Top Chef’s Antonia Lofaso, who came on the show and seemed more like a f*ghag/stereotypical straight gal pal. He showed off his body A LOT, but spoke openly of struggling with eating disorders. Here he is, naked (with bits blacked out😞 When Tayshia dumped him, he looked totally shellshocked, in a slightly unsettling way:

This guy

The most recent Bachelorette season had a guy (an army veteran who was smokin’ hot and seemed obviously gay) who admitted to two suicide attempts in the last three years. Not to stigmatize mental health issues, but it seemed wild that he’d be on a reality show looking to be hitched.
