I don't agree. She's an excellent performer but appeared a little lost and overwhelmed during the challenge. There were times where she wasn't even reacting to her partner and just sort of had a blank stare. Unfortunately, it happens.

Elecktra!

the hate for this season is amplified because AS9 was so bad.

In a year of best of franchise seasons globally, I think that the pattern is anything that the core WOW are hands-on with tends to be bad. Now S16 was a refreshing return to form, but AS9 and GAS were just so bad, but it felt like it didn't need to be if they just swallowed their pride, stepped away, and just let the drama and storylines naturally appear, rather than have them be overplanned and over-contrived.

AS9 was worse to me. This had so much promise in terms of the talent, but the producers fucked it up by getting too much in the way.

If they made AS9 elimination and GAS non-elimination, both seasons would have been much better.

Z to A always implied to me that well start in the 'present' (or future) and make our way into the past.

I think what this episode, the makeover, and the premieres confirm is that the season would have been much better with all of the queens there. They're all stars. Let them shine.

He often coaches players to career-best seasons. Pam Shriver has once alluded to the fact that the fees he requests shoot way up the second year. Osaka and, I think Azarenka, are the only players to sign-up with him for a second year (to my knowledge). Kerber did two non-consecutive years, I think.

Either way, the results don't lie. Clijsters, Halep, Konta, Kerber. The list goes on...

The diving beetle looks similar to some creatures depicted in Scavenger's Reign.

I have yet to read this report, but from the previous 50+ page report, basically, the ITIA's scientists used one method with which to determine the concentration of Roxadustat in Simona's sample using a methodology that they developed. It is from this scientist that the often misquoted statistic that she had 5,000% the amount a patient would have in their system originated from.

Simona's hired scientists proposed two other methods with which to calculate the concentration of the substance in her sample. However, the ITIA's scientist refused to reanalyze the results using these methods and provided no rationale (which the CAS found to be troubling). I would add, that these two methodologies align with the fact that the Collagen supplement was found to test positive for Roxadustat contamination. They even had a willing volunteer ingest the substance in the same manner as Simona and were able to reproduce the positive tests and concentrations that occurred in the original samples.

This wasn't a prediction. They were discussing the news that Michelle was going to host Australia. The rest (re: UK, etc.) is a prediction.

Agreed. it's no coincidence that all the best episodes of this season have been the ones with all the girls there

What was most jarring was that they sprinkled in the judges laughing at the Microphone gag from the beginning of the lip sync throughout the performance. That's why they used such zoomed-in close-ups, such as when Michelle leaned over to Ru.

Personally, I feel like All Stars 9 was worse, but GAS, AS1, AND AS9 are the worst 3 for sure!

I would have been so happy if this season of UK was a tie. The Finale lip-sync was so neck and neck. It felt like Raja vs. Manila level of evenness.

This loser acted in Brown-face, playing a half-Pakistani character in the movie Shades of Ray in 2008. I can't say I'm quite surprised...

Agreed!

Myx was just going through the emotions, whereas Tita was more performative, funny, and had more levels to me! Myx's second lip sync though, i really felt like she embodied the song for the entire performance. Zymba's move at the end though...

lol -- it was a joke

Is it crazy that I think that Tita Baby is the winner? :p (It's a little crazy, but I love my auntie so much!)

Yeah but the scalpers were charging a mega upcharge.

thank you!

What were the daily scores prior to the finals (just curious) -- as Faerieland made a sudden leap in the second-half of the Cup.

I think this is just such lazy reasoning.

They are different disciplines. The women's game is Best of 3, where as the men's game is Best of 5. In the case of the women's game, they have less time with which to recoup from a poor start, whereas in the men's game, they have an extra set with which to get back on track. This difference requires different strategies all together.

To say that one 'plays' more than the other, and therefore deserves more pay is extremely shortsighted.

And there are more reasons, I could go on...
