Snow White and the Gambit
For Carissa White, it was a roller coaster of emotions. A car crash claimed the life of her father, Jameson White, and left his second wife, Danica Mendez, hospitalized but alive. Carissa was close with her father, who nicknamed her "Snow" because she was born on a snowy December evening, and losing him came 18 months after the sudden passing of his first wife, Carissa's mother, Lauren White.

CFL Week 9 Recap: Nobody's Perfect
Somewhere, Cedric Gyles is popping the champagne. Who is Cedric Gyles, you ask? Cedric Gyles is the last surviving member of the 1948 Grey Cup Champion Calgary Stampeders squad, the only unbeaten team in the league's history. They were not perfect, there was a tie in that run to the championship, but the team finished with a goose egg in that center column. Why would Gyles be popping the champagne? Because the Toronto Argonauts are no longer unbeaten.

5 More Shows I Am Concerned For as the Strike Continues On
So after the WGA and the AMPTP's meeting on Friday, August 4 resulted in no resolution, the strike continues. I'm going to be blunt--I'm scared. I've seen a lot of my favorite shows canceled for less than this. I didn't think this strike would be as bad as the one from 15 years prior, now...it has the potential to be exponentially worse. As I said before, it's the viewers who suffer. It's the equivalent of the familiar heartbreaking scenes at a number of houses--the writers and actors are the bickering parents, and we, the viewers, are the heartbroken children begging and pleading for Mom and Dad to stop fighting and settle things for our sake.

Stating the Obvious: Tony Khan is a Toxic Enabler
I just had to write about this. I had to. Other wrestling fans reading this know why. You've all heard about it. However, the main part of this story will be saved for later, I promise. Because of that, and everything else I've seen, I've come to a conclusion: Tony Khan is a big time enabler. The evidence is right in front of us, but first, an introduction.

Reviewing Hikaru Shida's Big Win at Dynamite 200
200 episodes already?! By my mental math, that's nearly four years' worth of wrestling episodes. Time sure flies, doesn't it? October 2, 2019, that was the date that the very first episode of AEW Dynamite aired on television. August 2, 2023: that's the date that the show's 200th aired on TBS, and it was amazing. WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam made his appearance on Dynamite to confront the now-villainous FTW Champion Jack Perry, and speaking of champions, we saw World Champion MJF actually bare his soul, call out Adam Cole, and officially sign a title match between the two of them at All In, the upcoming event set to take place at Wembley Stadium in London.

A Look Back at Layla's 2013 Heel Turn (and What Could Have Been)
One thing I've noticed as a wrestling fan is that for the last decade-plus, August has been the month for the women of wrestling to go from good to evil. A lot of female heel turns seem to take place in the eighth month--including, but not limited to, Beth Phoenix and Natalya banding together to form the villainous Divas of Doom duo in August 2011, as well as Nikki Bella turning against twin sister Brie Bella at SummerSlam in 2014. One such moment that has stayed in my memory even now, 10 years to the day later, was Layla's heel turn in 2013.

CFL Week 8 Recap: Blackjacked
Well, they did it. The Edmonton Elks now have the new record for consecutive home losses. The game between the Elks and the BC Lions was over from the opening kickoff. I knew Edmonton was not going to win, because the Lions are on a whole other level this season. Even so, I expected the Elks to actually try, to give something to this game. Instead, what I saw was the Lions playing against a bunch of nobodies posing as a pro football team. Even worse, the Elks wear the same colors as the Green Bay Packers! I really need to start a petition for them (as well as the Oakland A's) to change their colors; they have not earned the right to wear Green and Gold.

Reviewing the Killer Season 2 Finale of "Cruel Summer"
Cruel Summer. Once only known as the title of a hit song by Bananarama, now it's the title of Freeform's highly addictive series. I thoroughly enjoyed Season One of the series, especially that last "wham shot" twist, but we would have to wait two years for the second season after its renewal. Once the promos were out and the date was set, I was over the moon with excitement!

Pros and Cons: The WWE Divas Championship
It's hard to believe that the now-defunct WWE Divas Championship first appeared on WWE television 15 years ago. It was during the summer of 2008 that the Divas Championship was added to WWE's collection of titles, originally serving as a title for the SmackDown's Women's Division for the first few months until the 2009 WWE Draft saw the title switch brands with the more prestigious WWE Women's Championship. The two titles became unified at Night of Champions 2010, and it was the Divas Championship that ended up as the sole title for WWE's Women's Division until WrestleMania 32 in 2016, when the title was replaced with the revamped WWE Women's Championship.

Reviewing VC Andrews' Dawn (Part 4: "Midnight Whispers")
What a ride this has been, huh? I have really enjoyed the Dawn series, I have loved all three parts and was very excited for the conclusion of this saga, Midnight Whispers, which begins with Christie Longchamp (now a teenager) playing the piano, while Dawn sings and also shows pride in her and Jimmy's daughter. We also see Gavin, Jimmy's half-brother, as well as Christie's boyfriend, but on the flip side of the moral pendulum, we see Fern, Jimmy's troublemaking sister, and she's still quite catty--even more so than she was in Twilight's Child.

Villainess Review: Vera Chenoweth (Beware the Night Nurse)
Out of all of July's Lifetime films, the one I was the most excited for (that wasn't in the VC Andrews universe), was this one: Beware the Night Nurse. It looked like it would be quite delicious, and it didn't disappoint. After we see a scene of a woman chasing a cloaked villainess who had taken her baby, we go back a month and are introduced to the main players in this tale: Claire and Zach Mitchell, who are the proud parents of baby Owen, who was born via a surrogate, Liz Chenoweth. The couple had taken in Liz, who was working as a paralegal, with her backstory only revealing that she had quite a troubled upbringing.

One In Every Crowd
It was a grueling case for the entire police department, but the very member who had the most pressure was Victoria Chandler. After all, she was the captain, the very person who was the most responsible for this case being solved. Now, after a year, the ordeal was finally put to bed.
