it’s just that talking through clenched test and not opening her mouth that bothers me. And I’m afraid that won’t change because it’s probably just how she speaks naturally and I think it’s detracting from her acting ability. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Recently, teen girls especially would end their sentences on an up-swing, very much like the Valley Girl speech, almost like they were asking a question. But something new has come on the scene I didn’t realize until I saw this pointed out on a news program. If you watch entertainment stars especially, they now end their sentences on a lower “growl”. They had a name for it but I don’t remember what it was. They showed the Kardashians as a perfect example but since then, I’ve noticed many, many people (especially girls) on TV doing it. Listen for it. I noticed last night on Project Runway, the woman that won ended every single sentence with that lower growl. Very interesting. No reasoning for it they could determine.
It’s interesting, to me anyway, how speech changes over the years. I noticed listening to Mrs. H. on Days from the early clips how “British” sounding her speech was. In fact, you’ll find the same thing in old movies and especially news reels. It’s almost like they are speaking English with some strange foreign accent. I found a very old tape (from the 60s) of my own voice and was amazed at how different it was. Not just tone which would result from aging but inflections and pronunciations. Weird.
That’s why you hear so often of second spouses adopting the child(ren) so in case the parent dies, they have automatic custody. Otherwise, any relative (or even non-relative if they can prove worthy) can crawl out of the woodwork and claim custody. That happens particularly when the parent has a substantial estate, e.g. Anna Nicole Smith. Look at the hoops her daughter’s biological father had to jump through to gain legal custody of his own daughter. (If anybody watches Sister Wives, that’s what they are going through right now.)
(Extra?) she is done for. I guess what she had wasn’t pneumonia after all but something even worse and more dangerous, a pulmonary embolism on her lungs. She went right back in the hospital from the show. So looks like there will be no elimination for the next show…or…Alexa may be reinstated. Poor Val, he just can’t get a break.
that if they can’t get pregnant, just come to Salem, drink the water and…voila! All set to give birth to a healthy ten-pound baby who will be born while the mother is stranded at the Horton cabin. It is written…
Hope can’t just take him in. He is going to have to go through Child Protective Services and their family is going to have to be investigated, vetted and approved, then go through court and have a judge grant custody, the whole ball of wax. It could take six months to do that.
I saw what a guy had to do who was even the birth father when the mother died. I would have thought it would be automatic but it wasn’t. (They were estranged and never lived together nor were married.) I would think CPS would say, here, it’s your kid and your responsibility now. But, this is Salem and Hope is an up-standing citizen so they’ll probably just turn him over to her care and our resident legal eagle will draw up all the papers…oops, our resident legal eagle is gone. Well, maybe Justin can handle it.
it would even be to penetrate either the front or the back enough to disable them. The likelihood of hitting a rib is at least 50%. Try jamming a scissors into a large beef rib roast (or a turkey) once and see just how far it goes in. The human body is much tougher than most people think. If you want to kill somebody, the jugular is where to aim.
I’d be back from my sick bed also. They said on Entertainment Tonight the other night what they earned. If they make it to the finals they get $350,000 and I believe it was $250,000 for semi-finals. That’s pretty good incentive to dance no matter how badly you feel.
It does suck that they are eliminated if they can’t dance (or use the dress rehearsal tape) but it wouldn’t be fair to the other contestants either if they were put through without having that week’s dance judged.
It was heartbreaking to see Alexa go and how hard she took it but, hey, someone has to go every week. I do think it should have been Alek though. I don’t think he’s that good. It’s going to be heartbreaking every week from now on. I don’t care what you think of Tamara, you have to admit she is a good dancer but I think all-in-all, it’s going to be Bindi. And speaking of earnings, she has a very lucrative contract. She gets $125,000 for being on the show then $10,000 per show up to $30,000 for week nine then $50,000 for every week she remains. But here’s the rub…she has to prove her father is dead before she can collect her winnings. As Roman would say, WTH?
were tied to the chair legs which is why they are spread like they are.
But if she’s in labor and Chad delivers a baby that survives, I will throw in the towel. Last month she didn’t even have a baby bump so how can she possible be carrying a viable child such a short time later. Although I said a while back that I didn’t believe she would go full term with this baby.
While we’re on the subject of pregnancy, I’m wondering, has ANY woman on this show ever progressed through a pregnancy without having some kind of excruciating pains? I’ve had four pregnancies with two resulting in miscarriages even, and never had any kind of pains during my nine months, particularly the kind they are portrayed as having. Yet every women on this show will be going along, la-la-la, la-la, and all of a sudden double over with debilitating pain. GMAB
adrenalin. Men have been known to lift cars to free their trapped child from under one.
Also, shock can contribute to the lack of pain.
Sorry, but I have lost all caring for Bo I may have ever had. And since poor Aiden is gone (what is going to happen to Chase now?), I’m all for having Rafe taking over. I love the chemistry between them. It seems to be just barely under the romantic level and I think they are both talented enough to pull off a real interesting relationship.
while his mother is standing there with the results of a blood test in her hands, would have to admit if he HAD taken any drugs. So, yes, I’d believe him.
because on the show he had a heart attack and you don’t need a wheel chair for that. In fact, they get you up and walking around immediately. When I had my cardiac by-pass, I was up and into a chair in the RECOVERY ROOM!!! Try that when you are hooked up to a heart monitor, BP cuff, IV, oxygen, catheter and I don’t know what else. Just trying to stay untangled was a feat in itself.
But, I digress… I still think Joe may have some type of COPD.
I will never accept that Brady could get past the horrible things she’s done, it don’t care how good in bed she is. Again, I think Brady is following his “little soldier” instead of his brain.
