(Reminder, this thread can and will contain spoilers for possibly any show. Spoiler tags are not required in here, but if the show just happened try and keep spoiler talk it to its respective discussion thread for the first day).
Alba and Isla winning I believe was for the feel good moment in Scotland because Drew wasn’t winning as well as a morale boost for Alba, whose parents came to America last month and were hit by a car while crossing the road; killing her mom. Metro.co.uk story about it.
I do agree the show was underwhelming, and that whole thing with the ropes was really odd.
Yeah, I totally get why they did it, and I’m glad they are taking care of them, but it still didn’t do it for me as a viewer. It’s a tough balance of entertainment and real life
Edit: reading this article has infuriated me. I had assumed they were driving. They were crossing the road and got hit. There is a GoFund me to bring her body back to Scotland. Why isn’t the person that hit her responsible for this? I understand it would have to go to court and take forever, but this is ridiculous. Instead of mourning they are fundraising just to make sure she is properly laid to rest. Having never recovered from losing my mother over 10 years ago, I just can’t really handle this injustice
It’s possible that persons insurance is trying to weasel out of paying anything, we are supposed to carry insurance for this reason, but from personal experience, it sometimes fails for the victims.
I have a sibling that was hit in the crosswalk by a person not paying attention, eye witnesses told them that, the police still let them go after getting the persons insurance info. My sibling now has a permanent limp and walks with a cane, their ambulance chaser type lawyer has been fighting with this person’s lawyers and their insurance for over 4 years, the eye witnesses have moved on making the fight harder, the woman changed her story multiple times, the lawyers keep hitting different angles trying to paint my sibling as going before the signal and thus at fault, in the end I don’t think the person will ever have to pay out, our system feels extremely broken for those without high dollar lawyers.
I’d like to know why WWE/TKO doesn’t help, the cost of repatriation is a rounding error to the TKO budget, and it just feels like the right thing to do. I can’t imagine what her and her family are going through.
That’s so terrible, I wish you both well. Our corporations are as broken as the system; it has nothing to do with them as far as they are concerned. I’m also curious why Scotland wouldn’t lend a hand. I know absolutely nothing about policies when it comes to this situation. Best wishes all around
