Wow, the women's side is a total bust. The men's final better be Murray/Djokovic or else this entire tournament will be a disappointment.

I put a parlay bet on Lisicki to the women's + either Murray or Djokovic to win the men's. smile.png

I turned it off during the middle of the fourth set because I was getting annoyed. I figured if JMDP somehow won, he'd be too winded to give it a good go on Sunday. When I turned the tv back on, ND was just about to win. I might have enjoyed watching more had I considered muting the volume and forgotten about my disdain for Andy Murray. Those pop psychologists wore on me. Sometimes I just want to hear games called and not the opinion of the announcers--especially not their mind-reading skills. It just makes me hate ESPN since they have such a monopoly on sports. I think Patrick McEnroe does a better job than John McEnroe. And at least all of them are infinitely more tolerable than ESPN's NBA, MLB and NFL crews. I detest their NBA pre-game/half-time panel the most.

While I'm on a roll....I was forced to turn the tv off again by Andy Murray's recurring dream....may it turn into a complete nightmare.

I prefer John or Patrick. Patrick half the time doesnt know what he is talking about. He sucks at broadcaster just as he did as a player....lol.....

Gawd...really...open up two more courts to watch Andy's match on big screen TV....that is so stupid....when it can be seen at their own damn house...how pathetic!

I hope Andy loses!

I hate to have to watch Murray to see Djoker!

My loathing for him is so irrational, but it certainly runs deep!

I think I may watch the women's final. It's fresh and new and Sabine has a really good game! I strongly believe she will be the winner, and this is one match where Bartoli cannot fake injuries and quit.

Yes them too...I got into it with a face booker...lol....I posted what a baby crier Murray was and he said Nole was too...I looked as his profile and he was from the UK....lol

I told him Murray was overrated and a complained about everything on the court and I told him that the Brits need to get a grip and get a life...LMAO

    • Elliot is SOOOOO tasty in this period. He's so wicked. One of the reasons I stayed on with the show when I began watching. 
    • I can get through another 10 to 20 episodes. April is such a compelling character. The actress just owns the screen. I think this is also why I'm annoyed by Draper. Margo and April are so fantastic that Draper is a wet blanket (except for one scene which I mention below).   Draper was bearable in his scenes with Logan because he was not whining about the house. If he has more scenes with Logan, I can tolerate him. As of now, he's just very one note. Everyone has had more to do.  Thank you for explaining about Raven's backstory and her connection to Draper. It clears things up. Logan explained things a bit in the convo with Draper, but there was still some things I was not sure of. Gabet and Kibbee are just sensational. I now see why people adore Sharon Gabet. How did AW squander her talents? SMH.  It's the way Draper is written. I'm drawn to Eliot who is a total cheating pig. The writing and the performance are first-rate. Draper is stomping around like a spoiled child and I don't have the benefit of seeing April and Draper's relationship from the beginning so this is my first intro to Draper. He's annoying as can be. ========== There's also an African-American police officer who's struggling to walk again. He's Steve's partner. He took his first steps. I can't tell if they are writing him off or if he's going to say. I hope he stays because the actor is quite charismatic.
    • Oh no!  Did you not like the Susan character? She intrigued me from that one episode I skimmed through. What didn't you like about her?
    • The eternal dream...him begging to get with her included. 
    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes.
