What pleasantly surprised me was that when Siwa came out, that the mammasphere created barely a blip in protest. I was expecting an earthquake of condemnation.

Bialik might be trying her best, but she is just not very good.

In my experience, people who respond to criticism (or anything, really) with a bible verse and zero other context are probably pretty rude, yeah.

Interesting that you used a picture of JoJo in which she looks rude and Cameron Bure looks sweet as pie. Would have worked better the other way around.

Bure is a nasty bitch masquerading as a nicey-nice Christian.

underrated part of this show is how many random entities eichner was able to get to pay for and air this thing. funny or die, fuse, trutv and apparently something called lyft entertainment (yes, that lyft).

Literally could have picked any rando half-professor and called it a day.

she’s making great use of that PhD hocking the same kind of magic brain pills the right wing nuts do

I get Mayim Bialik was in a hugely successful sitcom so people recognize her but she’s not a good fit at all. If they want to use her to host the special episodes like the kids edition or the prime time specials that’s cool but this splitting the hosting duty with Ken Jennings is awful. 

“doesn’t know the answers half the time”??? I’ll have you know she’s a PhD in neuroscience (in case she or her PR team forgot to mention that or something). She knows ALL the answers, just like she knows more research still needs to be done on the efficacy of vaccines.

The hesitation over the answers are what bug me most about Myiam. I like her otherwise but Ken seems smoother with it all. 

Hoping Variety is wrong because we went from keeping up with every episode of J! in this house to finding it an absolute slog on Mayim weeks. So many pauses every episode before responding and a clear lack of contextual knowledge of the show's clues. Sort of like a robot host running Windows 98. 

I can’t wait for those Celebrity Jeopardy categories!

Aside from Bialik’s other shortcomings, she just feels all wrong for Jeopardy. Her disposition is that of a too-happy morning show host and it really doesn’t seem like she knows the answers half the time? Alex always was about to tell you right away whether they got it right or not but there’s always this hesitation…

Neat. I’ll continue not watching Jeopardy! with anti-vaxxer, brain pill shiller, victim blamer, Mayim Bialik.

My favorite bit was when he would say something inexplicable, and if the person reacted with surprise or disapproval he would repeat the same thing in an increasingly frantic tone.

I like his character on Bob’s Burgers. 

Remember how she responded to complaints that Girls is too white by trucking in Donald Glover for what was a glorified cameo for a few minuets before she literally chucked him aside and off the show as part of a “see, I’m not racist! I casted and dated a black guy!”? That was what did it for me as far as the last…

The line itself, with the qualification, is good. And I think I had less issue with what Dunham was doing, and more with critics and fans who zealously argued that the girls represented all girls in their early 20s. My life and choices were so far from what the show portrayed, it was laughable.

“The producers say she is not coded to be neurodivergent”
