As a mom of a Senior with 11 AP courses, perfect GPA and lots of extra curriculars, including two sports - this story troubles me greatly. It was disappointing when an athlete from our school got into her dream school not because of academics, but because he can kick a football. Athletes have an easier path and less expensive in to college. Do I blame these parents, not really. My daughter is trying to get into top schools, not getting any merit scholarships and looking at huge debt to go to these schools while athletes are going on full rides and do not have the academics to warrant them a spot. If being a recruit secured my daughter a spot - then let’s do it.

I am watching the Oprah interview now. She is excellent. It really brings everything into focus. When Michael Jackson died, even knowing the previous allegations, I played his music all day. Remembered how amazing his music was. I watched his movie documentary This is It and loved it. Now, I cannot ever listen again. I am not sure why now is different for me. But it is. As you all may remember I have three daughters, and I coach cheer. Since the Rihanna incident, I have told my daughters and athletes Chris Brown songs are not allowed to be played in my presence. When doing comp music for my squads, I made specific instructions no Chris Brown. I feel the exact way about MJ now. I have watched hundreds of cheer routines. So many had his music, some were a complete tribute to him. I don’t think this will ever happen again. I do think MJ will go down like Spacey and Cosby. Quite honestly, I don’t think Weinstein will be as affected. Simply because it is too much work to consciously avoid him. You have to look at the credits or production company.

Remember when Tom and Drew Barrymore were married? Watching g this it is so hard to understand... What could that BI possibly mean? I think whatever it is - it is Ricky. He is so quiet and to himself. Dina is non-threatening, she may end up winning the whole thing. She is one of the first momagers, so she has to be smarter than she is letting on. I think she is playing everyone as an airhead.

Oh my - somehow this does not surprise me. Swaggy is all about him. I saw that Kevin had cancer but he is better. are you watching Celebrity BB? The old guys are taking over and it is fun?

Jennifer and Justin?

George HW Bush - passed at the age of 94 Friday. I may not have agreed with him politically but he was such a class act. So happy he is able to be at peace - I feel he has wanted this for some time.

Wait - they molested? My stomach just turned .... how did I miss this?

I call BS on this. This is just another way for them to stay relevant and try to get another reality season either in BB or somewhere else. These two are so attention starved and mad they couldn’t make it work in BB. Shame on CBS for giving them so much time

So all that talk about being a game jury, and they didn’t vote game. Kaycee had no game except to win comps and ride Tyler’s coattails. I watched it live and had to stop the recording and then fast forward so I didn’t have to watch that awful proposal. I am mad that after such an amazing season they allowed such antics to take up so much of the final episode’s time. i did see about Cody and Jess - I do not like Cody. I agree I cannot believe she moved out there and I hope everything goes well for them. All in all a great season! I hope they don’t try to bring back Tyler at all, although he and Level 6 is what made the season.

If Kaycee is in final 2 - my bet is she wins. But Tyler definitely had the better social game, so depending on how mad the jury is, He may pull it out I get the feeling no matter what Tyler is taking Kaycee. The only way he takes JC is if production gets in his head. He would rather risk the money to Kaycee than JC I simply cannot believe JC got to final three.

Yes you are right! It was for Stoneman. Miranda was all over the news for these two events last year - rightly so

I am headed to Hamilton on the tour through Charlotte next month! I am a season ticket holder so I thankfully automatically got seats. Bonus I was aseason ticket lottery winner and had the opportunity to buy two more. I am really really excited!!! Next year Dear Evan Hanson will be here, and I cannot wait for that either. I love the mashup song with Hamilton that they did for Hurricane Irma last year...

I tuned out after the opening was just SNL people over and over. I love that they own their jokes no matter what, but they were super bad. Hoya is outside Raleigh, who I think faired okay, maybe some power outages. I am outside Charlotte and except for Sunday when all three main arteries out of my neighborhood were flooded, we were fine. My Husband works during the week in Fayetteville and his apt was evacuated. It is devastating in Wilmington and the southeastern part of the State.

I love the Victor/Nicole ending. I cannot imagine B.B. not coming back. It is too inexpensive to put on, and too popular. Another network would sweep it up in a hot second. Julie Chen is another matter. I guess that has everything to do with if she stays at CBS....

I use the find my friends app included with the iPhone. I track my kids and husband, and they have no idea when I track them. They forget we have it. No alerts etc on either phone (unless you set them up) When I took my cheer squad to Disney, I used it there with all of them and it worked great!

Every time this thread pops up now, I fear the worst?

Will Hayleigh go down as the worst Head of Household? The whole time Tyler was talking to her I was thinking Brer Rabbit begging not to be thrown in the briar patch. I think Rockstar is going home. As well she should. But man to be out on your alliance’s HOH week.

This is the kind of BS that makes me loathe her. Is she trying to appeal to the masses - “you know girlfriend, I can’t get Brad to pay for half of the private jet?”. My single mom friends would love to be self sufficient and not worry about money from their ex, just to have one less thing to stress about. Some of my single mom friends, have to support their kids all by themselves, and still make sure the Dad sees the kids regularly. And they choose between food and clothes. Angie has no clue. She is worth $160M to his $240M. What, in all that is holy, does she need any money from him for? I understand “the principle thing” but seriously, I am not even sure why there is any sort of support at all. It ALMOST makes me like the second most pretentious celebrity female and her “uncoupling”. With all the celebrity divorces, have we ever heard this much about custody and support? No, because they all realize their kids and matters related to their kids should be kept private. Just like Brad is doing.... Note to self: stay off this thread Bran, it just makes you really really mad ?

I heard all of this too! I do not subscribe to the feeds, but I am loving this season. A whole bunch of crazy going on. I will not miss Bayleigh if she goes home. I cannot believe she and Swaggy C were so stupid. Tyler is playing the best game!

I am not sure I could even date a Skeeter.... But she was married to Narvel forever, so I cannot decide if that is a move in the right or wrong direction ?

That makes so much sense! There is also a rumor that Kaitlyn and Fessi did the deed before live feeds. Which adds a whole nother level of Wow to his veto decision.

I love that the votes are always split and some people are just plain sneaky. I like Sam, but was shocked she didn’t use her app last week. Kaitlyn had to have thrown that win back in puzzle. Why would she sit there for so long with her hands in her head and lose by a second? Overall good so far and I think a lot of that has to do with no returners this year...

Have a great vacation!!!

Wow! Somehow this makes me feel better
