There is a good chance the whole "Best and Final offer" thing might really have just been trade dramatization to get more clicks. 

I also read that in the US "Best and Final offer" is typically used as just a technical term to refer to a deal that includes all the points previously agreed on negotiation. Dunno how true that is.

I mean I will say the phrase would be an outright lie if they really did say it and if they don’t know WGA will accept yet. Obviously it’s not going to be their final anything in that case.

Yep. It's especially common in real estate, in particular.

Yes but it’s usage in real estate doesn’t really make sense here since there’s no bidding from buyers going on

It’s only a best and final offer if it’s accepted.

Any updates?

Sundown and the beginning of Yom Kippur in LA is 9:47 eastern and 6:47 Pacific, so that's the absolutely latest we will know (and likely earlier).

Definitely more quiet than yesterday, though that fits with the reports it's mostly over language and not actual issues

What’s that got to do with anything?

A lot of people in high places in the industry are Jewish, including Zaslav and Iger

Even if you don't believe the AMPTP's self-reported stance of Yom Kippur being a deadline for (this round of) negotiations and that if they don't get a deal by then they'll walk away from the table, negotiations would still very likely be suspended during Yom Kippur due to so many of the folks involved observing Yom Kippur.

I'd venture to guess everyone's too busy watching football today to stoke hearsay discourse on social media

With the caveat that there may not be a strike by then

Yeah they would be completely ok if the WGA strike is over since the SAG strike doesn't affect the show

SAG has already said DWTS is fine as it's under a different contract. 

[SpiderByte]

SAG wasn't the issue so if the wga strike ends before the broadcast begins it's good.
