If y'all didn't see Paire show his ass yesterday, you need to check it out.  He was awful and the fact that he didn't default the entire match is a travesty.  At one point, during one of his tirades, his racket ended on the other side of the net.  He only lost 1 penalty point during the whole match.  It was absolutely ridiculous.  

They showed flashbacks of some of his on court behavior and he may have some mental challenges that need to be addressed.

Thank you Big Foe for the win to put Paire out of his misery.  That display is not why I watch tennis!

Eh, nice will get you a half-priced sandwich on a good day. Most players who want to win matches will show you that they're not really nice. Sportsmanlike is more than adequate. By the way, I don't believe that either Kim Clijsters or Petra Kvitova are actually "nice", especially not on court when that killer instinct kicks in and they want to grab that match win. Even someone fitting that stereotypical definition of nice can be pushed into not-so-nice behavior, every once in awhile.

 

These matches have gone on too late for me to consider watching, but I had to howl with laughter when I saw a tweet that described Sloane as "slow-footed" in her loss to Pegula. It's well known that Sloane often refuses to move her feet. I guess Pegula was coached well on what to look for.

    • Kim used to say that you can tell when she was unhappy because she would try weird or new things with her hair.  I don't think Rauch was at OLTL at the time Zimmer was but their producer at the time probably wasn't much of a peach either. 
    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family
