Hi Brandy, yes, I agree with you about Omarosa.
I'm watching last night's Bachelor tonight.
I hated that Luke was so horrible to Stassi on Winter Games.
Good to see you post. I see you on FB all the time.

i'll admit, i'm more a reader than poster, simply because it usually takes me a couple of days to get to mails and whatever topic is usually passed. For example, i still have emails from Wednesday that i haven't gotten to yet, lol.
i did watch Celebrity Big Brother. i thought it was quite entertaining. Omarosa is really a piece of work.
I've got to 'on demand' tonights Bachelor because i had to record The Walking Dead to watch Tuesday night.
And i did watch the Winter Games. Poor Stassi. i can't believe how Luke turned out after the show.
'Pugified'
It may be that my whole purpose in life is to serve
as a warning to others.

I had groups back in 1999 they were called clubs then and what I liked about those was I had a court tv group and we had the chat feature and after a days trial on cou8rt tv we would go into our chat and chat away. I miss those days I had to regroup my 2 groups I had so they show a 2003 date. Make sure you know who you have for a co owner,.. LOL I had one deleted because of a co owner and the other she took my members and started her own group. that is a long story. But since then I rarely will give anyone that privilege again to delete a group .
Didn't care much for the egroups.

I've been in Yahoo groups over 10 years too.
I took my group from e-groups to yahoo in 2002.
Then I joined a lot of Andrea's groups in 2003.

A owner can look into the memberlist and everyone on NO mail or Special Notice might be ones not around anymore.
I do a member check in once a year. and what I have done is change all no mail and special notices to individual email Then I put their email address into a BCC mass email asking for a check in. . This way you can also find out who is no longer there because their emails are disabled. When I took over a group a couple years ago I did just that and found 10 with disabled email . I am also a moderator of a group tha thad 1100 members in it and only like 5 posted. I did that and believe it or not I found 220 disable emails. I removed them from the group./ I also kept the rest on individual email and about 40 more left . One emailed me and accused me of adding her to the group. LOL I showed her she actually did it herself. 10 years ago. lol./
*It is time consuming but I do it to any group I am asked to take over.. and if an owner asks me to clean up the group.

OK.. I guess that is better than having 500 members with only 6 people posting.. how do you know if any of them actually watch the show anymore or if they just did not drop out of the group.

If you go to the home page it tells you how many are in the group. This one has 177 names.
I think Andrea is the owner of this one. I never can remember who owns what ....LOL
Of the few I do recap for this one is more active then at least 2 others.

I think this is a good rule...how long does it take to comment on something you either like or dislike on todays show ? Only problem is it makes more work for you.. anyway, do we know how many members there are in our group ?

So many people just read. I sometimes wonder if anyone even reads my recaps I post daily. But then when I am gone for several days I get an email wondering where I am. Mostly that happens in the soap recaps I do daily.
I would like to have a group where the rule is you MUST post something once a week or once a month. I used to be in a group like that years ago. The rule was enforced . YOU must post at least once a month .If you don't you have one warning. There was no second warning. ..And they removed you. .Thing is if you have time to read you have tie to quickly reply to the post.
I don't know if Verizon will ever get rid of or start charging us for Yahoo groups/emailI just know participation has really declined

I think that if the company sees that the members of the group are getting smaller and not posting they may get rid of the groups, it must cost them money to maintain them, this is not a rumor just my opinion..

This is why I do not watch any of the Bachelor Games. Why don't you watch UNREAL which is about a TV show manipulating contestants by changing their medications, resulting in a participant jumping off the roof to commit suicide..and deciding who the guy is going to pick depending upon the ratings ?

I for one thought that kissing contest to see who would stay or leave was not appropriate.

The Kissing Competition on 'Bachelor Winter Games' Was So Inappropriate
Wednesday, February 21, 2018
Jennifer Lind-Westbrook
Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
The latest brainchild of the Bachelor franchise is The Bachelor Winter Games, which mixes al l the usual drama, hookups and breakups of Bachelor in Paradise with contestants competing in winter sports.. For two weeks, sexy singles from the American and international versions of The Bachelor have been exploring foreign relations and diplomacy in a whole new way. Overall, the show has been vastly entertaining and what fans would expect from the world's most famous reality dating show. But things took an oddly disturbing turn at the last Rose Ceremony when the remaining seven couples were forced to engage in a kissing contest with the lowest-scoring couple sent home. While viewers expect to see lots of lip locking when it comes to the show, this gratuitous display of forced PDA was a new low for the franchise.
Ghosts from Dating Past
For a show that has emphasized its intent to make lasting love connections, determining which couple should go home based strictly on one intimate act taking place in the most public of circumstances certainly undermines this goal. And to further sensationalize the contest and ensure the entire event was even more uncomfortable, the couples who participated were judged by previous Bachelorettes JoJo Fletcher, Rachel Li ndsay and current Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr. This meant that Bibiana, Luke, Dean and Josiah had to suck face with current romantic interests while the people who dumped them sat by and watched, adding to the pressure and awkwardness of the situation. The wounds were really fresh for Josiah who had only kissed one other woman since Rachel -- his Winter Games' sweetheart, Ally.
The Winter Games contestants had no choice but to sell out their integrity to extend their 15 minutes of fame (if any of these couples are truly falling in love, leaving the house might make things more difficult moving forward, but it shouldn't be a dealbreaker), but why would JoJo, Rachel and particularly Arie, who's still very much in the spotlight, ever agree to this sideshow?
PDA Isn't A-Okay
Some couples embraced the challenge, like Lesley and Dean who performed some type of dating-ritual dance before she wound up with her legs wrapped around his neck in preparation for their kiss. This left everyone speechless and for all of the wrong reasons. Lesley, clad in a little black dress, stuck her private parts in Dean's face. It was so raunchy, Rachel said to Dean, "I thought you were going to kiss her in a different spot." It was a dog and pony show, pure and simple. This wasn't about chemistry, it was about showmanship (which was an epic fail.) If Arie thinks you're doing something right, it's ti me to reconsider your life choices.
Not only were these couples front and center while kissing, but it's like they were animals breeding in captivity.... As Kevin kissed Ashley I., JoJo pointed out when the hunky Canadian moved his hands to Ashley's "booty" and even jumped up to get a better look. Ashley -- a favorite among fans and her peers who has been incredibly open about her virginity -- received the type of praise and encouragement usually reserved for someone who accomplishes something actually noteworthy. At this rate, she'll lose her virginity while America streams the act live.
Just Say No
Not everyone was okay with this contest. Ally felt so nervous, she got physically ill. Nothing anyone does on a reality dating show should make them throw up, unless it's partaking in a few too many cocktails or eating bad seafood. And although Josiah did his best to comfort her, he wasn't about to let a little vomit get in the way of staying at a luxurious resort in Vermont. After he determined Ally wasn't on death's door, Josiah immediately questioned if she was still up to the task. Ally didn't even stop and think that her reaction was a pretty normal one and instead was consumed with regret that Josiah had to kiss her after she was sick and making sure everyone knew she'd brushed her teeth.
Russian beauty Stassi really took one for the team.. This type of exploitation didn't sit well with Stassi, but she did it for Luke because she didn't want to be "selfish." In the m idst of women coming forward to tell their stories of sexual harassment and abuse, a woman compromising her sexuality under any circumstances should be discouraged and not applauded.
It's part of the Winter Games for people to go home, but there were so many other ways the show could have determined who really has a shot at something beyond a two-week fling other than ordering them to manufacture chemistry on the spot. Why not a Newlywed Game-style Q&A or even just sitting down with each couple and finding out what they like about each other? And if all else failed, it could have come down to a vote. All this kissing competition did was leave a bad taste all of our mouths, especially Ally's.
Did you think the kissing competition crossed a line? Was this the best way to determine what couple went home? Should Luke and Josiah have pushed Stassi and Ally to participate? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
The season 1 finale of The Bachelor Winter Games airs Thursday, February 22 at 8/7c on ABC. Want more news? Visit our Bachelor page on Facebook.
