Both Wimbledon finals down by 55% from 2019. Not surprised at all. Mens final had a 1.2 rating down from 2.4 with Roger and Novak. 

The women final only had one million viewers.. Household number 0.6 rating.

I agree. So much so, that that bottom-feeding ex Fox News channel host is trying to latch onto Naomi just hoping to resurrect her battered "brand" but Naomi was having none of it.

Remember when tennis media used to claim that the Williams Sisters were damaging their careers by not playing a "full" schedule in the late 90s? How did that prediction work out?

They were also criticized for having "too many outside interests" and not devoting their time exclusively to their tennis. Again, how did that work out?

People complaining because she avoided the limelight in Paris... but is now a "Barbie Roll Model" doll, and she is on magazine covers, and in a Netflix special.

Well, hello, hey, 
Those magazine covers were maybe photographed a while back?
The Netflix special must have been filmed before Paris. 

The only *new* thing she did was to release tweets to announce these.

And even if any of that was photographed recently, she did it on her own terms, in her own time, on days she wasn't competing in a tournament.

That is totally different than being pressured to answer questions at a press conference during a tournament.

    • Wow. This show is ridiculous.
    • There's a 1997 promo somewhere of Annie vs. Reva which ends with Reva throwing her purse. IIRC, from what soap magazines at the time said, that was not an actual scene but was (allegedly) a real confrontation which somehow got into a promo.  I do wish Wheeler had moved faster - maybe that was as fast as she could go, or maybe she took for granted that they would stay on. I know the show probably couldn't have improved drastically, but I do wish they'd had one year, and Irna's babies could have ended at the same time.  I have already spent enough years comparing the GL and ATWT finales, but I agree. As someone who quit watching GL in disgust around the early/mid '00s the show did remind of its old self at the end. ATWT's ending was an extended Goutman ego trip. One show had a poignant death of a character whose passing was long overdue...one slaughtered a vibrant young man so we could get James Rehborn (wonderful as he was) playing chess for homophobes.  The Grant Aleksander interview I posted a few weeks ago had him talking about learning GL was canceled because Ron Raines called him at Home Depot. He said they knew it was probably going to happen, but that believing something will happen and it actually happening are very different. 
    • Thanks. I just hope this choice isn't why Billy is leaving, as they should have done all they could story-wise to make him want to stay.  Maybe he had already told them he was going. I hope so.
    • This is amazing. They didn’t even make it 6 months into Trump‘s term

    • This is where the timeline gets a little muddy. The Bo who was in Heaven, in Beyond Salem 2 knows that Caroline died. But in this alternate timeline, where Bo never actually died and was held in cryogenics by Megan, shouldn’t know about Caroline.  It does seem like the new writers don’t have much interest in her, or in the possible pairing with Chad.
    • Leslie's campiness has become irritating to me, not mesmerizing anymore.  It's getting repetitive, constantly plotting and flirting.  She's become a cartoon, sadly, and the actress is worth more than that. I want to fastforward through her, but now I watch to see her scene partners react.
    • Or get excited because they have less to memorize for the same check lol Sign me up for this!
    • Sounds about right. I hope they use a nickname for her as to not confuse everybody. 
    • LOL - my mind was looking for a 'Cole' in Reva's long name, and of course that's the actor's name instead. I guess 7 unique husbands, and a couple she married twice, which gets her to 9?   Hahaha - true, could be. Hopefully/surely she somehow audited her beloved character's name before publishing.
