We've been here before. It's hardly fair for Jenna Dewan to be a "star". Sure, she's 45, but she's in great shape and has been a pro dancer since she was 20, High School cheerleader and was voted prom queen before that. She could be a DwtS pro or judge.
My early personal favorite is Julia Stiles, also 45. She was never a pro dancer, but she played the hell out of one in Save the Last Dance. Then, anyone rooting against her risks the ire of Jason Bourne. :problem:
Julia Stiles was on fire tonight! She earned three 8s and a 9, 33. Look her up on YT.
Guillermo & a visibly pregnant Witney were saved by audience vote. Meh. I still say he's a joke entrant, but wth nothing wrong with fun. Two 6s and two 5s, 22. They were sent home.
Jenna Dewan rocked it. As I said hardly fair, she's no Rookie :wave: . Four 9s, 36.
The amputee and Paralympian, Ezra Frech, is also pretty good. Four 9s, 36.

Ori is a slimeball.
Actually haven't watched yet.
Good season?
So far it's OK, but none of the players has my total fandom yet. A couple have my vote to get booted sooner rather than later. But last night there was a double elimination (two of the current three tribes went to council) and one of them had major drama with a successful big play.
You could catch up with the episode summaries - probably not necessary to actually watch all the past episodes.
I've said it before, best talk show there is: The Graham Norton Show
His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales on to tonight's show; Oscar-winning Hollywood great Cate Blanchett; actress, singer and star of Ted Lasso Hannah Waddingham; and Australian conservationist and presenter Robert Irwin
Rollicking good time. There used to be reruns on Sundays, but I think that ended.
"way back"? I don't think this was that long ago. My theory is that SNL has always been aimed at the youngish demographic. So, our favorite cast is always "way back". Mine is the first 5 years - John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Lorraine Newman, Dan Aykroyd, etc.

I was being ironical.
What is also funny is that for every classic skit that we recall fondly there were five times as many duds.

Ah, got me.
I look forward to Weekend Update as being my favorite segments. Tonight's is one of the worst I can remember. The jokes fell flat and Pennywise and Drunk Uncle were stupid.

Heavy dose of lazy and lame cheese.
They've been in a bit of a slump.
Although the genocide line was funny.

Bobby Moynihan has gotten huge. I'm not happy to see him that way.
Seth's point about the name change seems to miss the obvious: calling yourself "Vrede too" isn't exactly a disguise, so claiming it was meant to fool everyone reads like a stretch. The rest of the back-and-forth is mostly personal jabs about who ran away and who whined to an admin, which doesn't get anyone closer to a real answer about the actual topic. If there's a substantive disagreement buried in there, it might be worth pulling out instead of trading insults.

Welcome to the forum, but I think you may be reading years-old posts that probably no longer have any relevance. Just join in on current pages - you won't have any trouble catching up.

Ditto, welcome. What O Really says. Since I'm the subject of this ancient exchange - my only name change here ever was from 'Vrede" to "Vrede too", hardly fooling anyone. The reasons for it are too boring to rehash.

The amputee and Paralympian, Ezra Frech, is also pretty good. Four 9s, 36.
Julia Stiles and pro Ezra Sosa tore up the floor tonight after a letdown (26) last week, 3 8s and a 9, 33.
Jenna Dewan and pro Val Chmerkovskiy killed it, of course , 4 10s, 40.
