It's only seven bucks a month, well worth it.

I think it's up to $10 ($9.99)
Probably still worth it, considering, but we'll see how long they go without noticing me. Been a couple of years or so so far.

I just renewed last month, mid tier subscription which usually goes for about 20 bucks. Text in, threatened to cancel and they lowered it to 7 bucks.

Free is better though, how'd you manage that? New subscriber or tied to a cellphone plan?

[O Really]

Dunno, really. I thought I'd just slipped through a techno-crack somewhere, but possibly the car's previous owner is still getting billed and hasn't noticed it. Could also have been part of the purchase package, but if so that should have been long expired. Anyway, I had decided that if/when they catch it, I'll threaten cancel for a deal.

May not do you any good or you may not want to rock the boat, but they've got about double the number of streaming channels as satellite channels. Honestly, it's more than a bit of a saturation.

For the years that I was sailing I would put the cable on hold for the months I was gone. They did stop billing me, but never flipped the switch on my service. My sublettors or landlord/best friend appreciated it. I also got premium channel free trials that lasted far longer than they should have, but not recently.

[O Really]

Yeah my folks had a summer house that got free cable for years. They had it turned off and reported when they returned but they never were billed. So they basically had an inactive account but still working.

Maya Rudolph looks in the mirror and sees Kamala! The real one.
Together: Keep Kamala and carry onala

I was. I didn't remember the episode, but I assumed that it involved Free Porn - pre-internet, of course.

Well, it is a TV show, but it almost seems like this ought to be in the SPORTS section. One of the contestants on "Dancing with People You May Never Have Heard Of" is Ilona Maher. She's doing a really good job and seems very likeable. At 5'10" and 200 lbs, she is a bit larger than her partner Alan Bernsten but they make a good couple. Tonight they did the "Dirty Dancing" finale, complete with the famous lift at the end. There were also parts of their dance where she lifted Alan. During the judges comments she was funny, said, "I'll be honest, I don't usually get lifted..."

Your girl is a FINALIST! Finale tonight began 8pm EST, runs until 11pm. I won't post spoilers until you say you're good.

[O Really]

I haven't been watching entire episodes, only dance segments, but I hope she'll win. Fair chance she will - I read they're looking at her for "Bachelorette" and a win on "Dancing" would be a good push. My overall favourite was Jenn Tran, but she's gone. Go Ilona!

.......

We haven't talked about 47.

Good episode tonight on pretty good season.

Rachel FTW.

[O Really]

Yeah, Rachel is a mild looking beast. I was sorry to see Kyle go, but I can see why they'd want to boot him. Fortunately, the ones I really disliked are gone.

Haven't been a big Andy fan, but if he makes the finals this was a major feather.

Probably the best move of the "new era."

Editors did a nice job too.

That shouldn't have worked.

2nd place is a huge achievement! Congrats, Ilona.

Rachael: "the best thing about going to your own funeral is knowing you're going to wake up the next morning"

What a beast!

[O Really]

Good group for the finale -
Anybody but Sam is a good ending. I'd say on a "deserve to win" scale, it would be Rachael, Teeny, Sue, Sam. Sue has been a bit of a floater in some ways, but I think she'll be the oldest player to get to the finals and that takes something. Teeny's game has some weak spots, but she's had social strengths that kept her in. Sam's worthless, IMNVHO.

I've been figuring this was Rachel's game to lose for a few weeks. Kudos to Genevieve for a well played game and getting further than i thought she would. If she would've won immunity she would have won the game. They played up the rivalry nicely.

The edit trashed Teeny's chances last week with her reward meltdown and honestly, she's got a good personality but she's been out of the loop for half the game, not a winning formula.

Sam's an idiot but he would beat Teeny and Sue.

It's been an entertaining season albeit with some bad game play (I'm looking at you Andy. NEVER EVER tell someone they're going home!) along with the good (Yup, Andy again along with Rachel and Genevieve. ).

Wasn't Bob Crawley a winner who is older than Sue? And sorry, she's been a goat for a bit and wash her effing face!

[O Really]

Sue is older than she told the other players - 59. But yeah, I don't understand the dirty face bit.
