They really need to quit showing the close ups of Tim kissing. Ewww! It kind of turns my stomach to watch that. The look on his face when he was waiting for Trish to accept the fantasy suite key was creepy. He looked like a horny old man that was ready to jump her.

Why does Tre always have to jump in and answer for Dina?

I just watched Candidate for Crime from season 3. This is the episode where Jackie Cooper is running for senator and he kills his campaign manager. He sets it up so everyone will think his manager was killed when mistaken for him. This episode has a lot of great Columbo scenes. I loved the one in Jackie Cooper’s office where Columbo takes forever to get to the point. Cooper is so frustrated with him. This is also where Columbo figures out he is having an affair with the wife’s assistant. He also sees the new jacket get delivered which takes us to another great scene. Columbo is wonderful in the scene with the tailor. He wants an expensive tailor made jacket ready for that weekend for his wife’s bowling supper. I love this scene with the tailor. The mistress is so scared of Columbo. She doesn’t do well getting questioned. We also get another scene of Columbo being pulled over in a spot check so the local cops can check his car. Of course there is a lot wrong with it. This gives Columbo the opportunity to drive a tow truck.

The boxing plot reminded me of the soap box derby plot they did. It was the same thing. Danny and another guy in competition. I was really hoping Nikki would go far far away to school. They have to find the money to make it possible.

I didn't like the husband Remy from the beginning. He came off as guilty to me. I just could not figure out why the best friend had an affair with him. Maybe they both felt neglected by the wife when she became too involved in her online game. That is the only thing I can think would bring them together. Remy did not seem like anyone she would have been attracted to especially when she already had a husband.

I think we all knew the dead body was the redhead immediately. I also expected the footprint to belong to Hodges. I really wondered about them using all these new untested products. I had a lot of moments in this episode where I was shaking my head.

If I had to guess I think he will pick April in the end. Looking back at past Bachelor shows and their actions it leads me to this opinion. Tim acts like he is very protective of April. I do not think he would drag her to the end and put her through this if he was going to dump her. She is insecure and it would hurt her more to be dumped at the Final 2. Trish appears to be the one that he is very comfortable with. They have fun and Tim is himself. I think he really likes to be around her and she probably makes it easy for him. If he has to keep someone around with his chosen one it might as well be someone that he enjoys being with. He might even think she is the one that can take being dumped on TV. She is a pageant girl and competition is not new to her. I like Trish the best. So I think she is better off without Tim.

Clowns are not my thing. I found the first part of the show creepy. I enjoyed this episode. It had the right amount of surprises and moments to make me pay attention.

I enjoyed the first half of the show. Then about the halfway point I got bored. I think it started to go downhill for me the minute the sister showed up to talk about her brother.

I think editing Tyler out of the episodes is one way they cut the show to an hour. It just seems odd to have the women show up at the rose ceremony and nobody there to greet them or tell them where to stand. We expect our Chris Harrison to be there with the roses. It really does seem like this season is being rushed to the conclusion. I can't remember but did the first season seem like this? Maybe they don't know what to do with Tim so they quickly just move on. I noticed that Sachelle's sister was engaged and at the house with her fiancé. Did the brother have a problem with his other sister dating too? Did he give her boyfriends a hard time? It was something I was curious about.

The hometown visits are always my favourite episodes on these shows. It is the one time the lead is not in charge. The families get to ask the questions and put them on the spot. It was pretty obvious by the time on the clock that Tim was not having a visit with Lisa's family. There just was not enough time left in the episode. I assume Tim thought about it and realized he didn't believe Lisa. Maybe he wanted to let her go last week and the producers wouldn't let him. Hard to say. But he finally decided to drop everyone but the final 2. I do wonder if Sachelle's brother helped make the decision. He clearly told Tim if Sachelle was not The One to let her go now. It did seem odd he went from 4 to 2 in one episode. But I never did see any chemistry between Sachelle and Tim. Obviously Trish is the one that makes him laugh. April is the one he feels protective of. Next week is the Women Tell All.

This show is frustrating. Why didn't Nolan or Jack tell David that Amanda is alive and living as Emily?

I really enjoyed last week's battle rounds more than this week. I feel like they had the best singers first so they could get stolen. Then had the weaker singers last when most of the steals were already gone. Also like every season I complain about all the montages. I would rather hear them all sing instead of continuing to recap the sob stories. I watch the show to listen to them sing. Not for the sob stories and multiple recaps/coming up next shots. If they edited correctly they could fit in all the battle rounds. They really didn't like Blake's team this season. He had a lot of montages.

At least he got rid of ballerina girl. But wanting to keep Lisa just shows he is not looking for wife. He just wants to be on TV and bring the drama. No man looking for a wife keeps a female that is kissing random guys in a bar in Italy. I would have liked to see the other females all throw their roses at him and walk out when he kept Lisa. Losing Tim is no loss. It would have made for great TV.

I did not care for either femate on the battle round for Blake. In fact I thought tonight was the weakest so far for battle rounds. I enjoyed last week more than tonight.

I just watched a couple of the ones from the first season. I watched Death Lends a Hand with Robert Culp. He was always good when he played the killer. This is the one with the shag rug and the contact lens. I really enjoyed this one. Then I watched Suitable For Framing with Ross Martin as the art critic. He was one of the more unlikeable killers. I did laugh when they were describing him as this great dresser. Crushed velvet jacket and giant bowtie. Oh yes, that was great. I love the old fashions on this show. Columbo with the landlady looking at the scrapbook had me cracking up. She had to describe all the photos while Columbo was going crazy waiting to see the photo of the guy the dead girl had been dating.

I didn't understand why the woman was proud of herself that she was able to remember the code to turn off the alarm. She wanted help to come because she had been shot. She should be happy to set off the alarm. I wonder if the son has a little different opinion than his sisters. We saw him walking into court at one time. But he did not do any interviews. I too felt the daughters were more on their dad's side than their mother's. It was very strange.

I am having trouble with Ellie. She acts like she should be a crossing guard not a detective. They are definitely showing us why she did not get the promotion. She is too busy running around making sure everyone isn't upset by being questioned. She would rather not hurt their feelings than find the killer. Danny's mom looks so young that I am constantly reminding myself which actress is the mom and which is the sister. It takes me out of the show for a moment when that happens. I love the scenery. They have the feeling of a small town wrapped up in a tragedy. It is bleak and sad. Perfect setting.

The only interesting part of this show is spotting the diners and trying to figure out who they are. I always wonder why some of them show up at Hell's Kitchen. What kind of deal are they promised to show up? This show was once interesting. They really have run out of good chefs. They are more interested in drama than cooking.

This show was on Tuesday this week. I guess it has moved from Thursdays. I would be giving back a rose and leaving if I was on this season. I find Tim boring. The girls are not even fun enough to stick around and hang out with. Why am I still watching? Why were the women all mad at ballerina girl about making out with Tim in front of them? Shouldn't they have been mad at Tim instead?

I liked this episode. It kept my interest. Nice to be able to say that.

I am starting to think a male will win this season. The male singers seem to be stronger this year.

I did like this episode the best so far of the series.

I really did expect David would see the childhood photo that Jack brought to Emily/Amanda. I am not sure he recognized her as his sleeping daughter. But something gave him a moment of recognition that made him pause. But I am not sure he knew what it was. Maybe just the fact he was about to kill someone that just looked like a girl sleeping. Victoria had built her up to be a monster. I wonder if Nolan will go back and check his monitors and get a close up of the face and figure out it is David. It still bothers me that David made a point to seek out Victoria but not Nolan.

Jason Gedrick shows up and I wonder if this show is getting cancelled. He does seem to be bad luck. I love parts of this show and other parts annoy me.
