Madding crowd

This episode should have been titled: New gal for every guy. It seemed kind of silly, especially with Gunnar who already has Zoe and Scarlett. Luke continues to be annoying but so far he really hasn't done anything horrid. People disagree with things all the time and yes sometimes people have to suck it up and compromise. I remain confident Rayna will come to her senses. I don't agree with the idea that Rayna's girls should dictate how, where and when her proposal should have taken place. Divorced parents have an obligation to choose someone who will be loving to their kids and introduce them before an engagement takes place, but no child should decide when, where or how their parent gets married. Luke has been around Maddie and Daphne for awhile and he appears to care about them. We are also seeing things about him that may not yet be apparent to Rayna, but will come out. Also don't think she needs to bend over backwards for Deacon. Most people don't give a second thought to their exes when they date/remarry. I also don't like the trend in shows now (Looking at Grey's Anatomy) where someone seeks out a birth parent and the person (or in this case Rayna) is vilified for making a good choice. Women have the right to control their own body whether that means the right to terminate a pregnancy, give a child up for adoption or choose to marry a kind, stable man and make him the legal father or her child. She also doesn't have to go around explaining and apologizing to people about her choice. She probably should have told Deacon, but perhaps she didn't want to be pressured into having an abortion or marrying a violent alcoholic. I just don't like the idea that Teddy is no longer the real parent, when he is the one who raised Maddie and loved her all her life. There also are many cases in real life, where birth parents prove to be incapable of love, don't want contact, or prove to have good reasons for not raising their child. I like Juliette too and feel that her story has to evolve organically and I can't count how many times things go wrong for her versus Rayna; people are all different and have different things happen to them. Individual choices factor in a great deal too. None of us are promised a specific set of circumstances and I don't need to see that played out on TV. I'm sure Avery will come around and he and Juliette will end up together. I also laughed at the idea that Scarlett could write about having fun. I love her voice, love her and Gunnar as singer-songwriters together, but no one could call her fun. Layla and Zoe continue to be boring, but at least Layla is getting some guts. WIsh they could should Gunnar and WIll as friends more.

I was also yelling at my TV "Kill her now Juice", of course that couldn't happen. If nothing else, Juice is realizing he cannot trust Gemma or anyone connected to SAMCRO. So Nero is just going to forgive Gemma that his son is in danger and must now live in a porn factory where his care will be given by porn actresses and Chucky rather than by qualified people? Sure, he loves Gemma that much. Don't understand Lin not just blowing Jax away, Jax is taking everything away from him and he lets him walk. OK. And poor little Abel always looks traumatized. I guess it's because the actor is really young and is a little scared, but that kid really looks out of it.

Kelly Cutrone seems so awkward when she has to speak to the models. I really can't stand her, she is ugly inside and out. And of course she can't change her face, but she could choose to wear an attractive hairstyle and clothing. She continues to mope around with greasy hair and awful clothes and then takes it out on the models because they are pretty and she is not. Kari's looks were ruined and I was not surprised she went home. I also never understand the benefit of telling them after the shoot what they should have done. The next shoot will be completely different so they can never learn enough to make a difference. It's obvious that Tyra chooses either the worst or best shot based on who she wants to go home. I adore Miss J, but she is useless in this cycle. I would love to see some runway instruction or on set instruction. Getting yelled at because you "aren't using your face right' doesn't really count.

I don't like Maggie at all and she should be fired for letting the woman die. Yes, of course the woman wanted to die, but you have to follow hospital protocol, you don't just get to decide for yourself who should live or die. I also didn't like the comments about her finding things out that Christina didn't do-Chistina was working on saving their lives, she was not primarily a researcher and I call BS on her finding this out so quickly. I still like Owen (and yes I know it is unpopular and I was always shouted down at TWOP) and I hope he can have a more positive storyline for this season. Also think April and Jackson are cute together and I no longer mind Amelia. Both Meredith and Derek have always seemed standoffish and selfish to me from day one, but a lot of doctors are like that so at least it realistic. If Maggie continues I hope Richard at least tells her he is her father so we don't keep seeing him gazing at her in a fatherly way but not saying anything.

I now think the sole purpose of the show is so Gemma can be the badest bad ass that ever lived. I was just so pissed off that she can walk up to a car at Abel's school and make her stupid threats. That everyone in the world is just so scared of her is just annoying me. Yes of course if the mother reported her, Gemma would send Jax to beat her up. Can't imagine the new Sheriff having any interest in Chibs. To us, I guess he is one of the least objectional of the morons, but to her he would be a greasy, criminal. Also can't see him having any interest in her. Tired of seeing endless scenes of Juice hiding out I actually liked Juice up until last season, and I still wish he could drop the dime on Gemma and disappear.. Of course, Gemma is going to kill him, she is all powerful. I'm also thinking the club will have Unser take out the cop who was shot and in the hospital. I didn't feel a thing for the whore house murders, cause anyone who is involved with the sons must be complete idiots. Are the only working businesses in Charming the whore house and the drug trade? You would think they would make national news for the sheer body count and the fact that there appear to be very few everyday citizens. And why is Courtney Love at Able's school? I get it that people what to make cameos (or more) in the last season, but are we supposed to think she is a new love interest for Jax? Yes, I am bitter about this show. The only people I hope stay alive are Abel and Thomas and Nero, maybe Wendy.

I would be fine with both Zoe and Layla gone. We already have Rayna, Juliette and Scarlett to care about. I was happy to see the little bit of Scarlett and Gunnar singing together. They are amazing together and I have downloaded all of their songs from season one. Zoe is just forgettable and serves no real purpose. I knew the baby would be Avery's . No way would Juliette keep a baby fathered by Jeff. And yes, Jeff has turned into a mustache twirling villain. I wish they would dial that back just a bit. Part of working in the music business in getting along with the talent and I can't imagine anyone wanting to work with Jeff. Will works with him because he is desperate. I still like and have always liked Rayna. I'm sure her kids would be happier with a stay at home mom, but then again Maddie at least is a teenager and probably doesn't care if her mom is around all the time. Rayna is trying to get her new record label going and it is hard work. I like the fact she discussed what this would take with her daughters. Not all moms are stay at home moms and this show is about the music business. If Rayna were to quit, it would take away the music aspect which wouldn't make sense. I still don't like or trust Luke and I'm not sure why. He just seems so fake.

Loved Kini's soccer ball dress and he always has a great attitude. Really hope he wins. Amanda did a good job this episode, but I didn't like her appearance on Nashville last night which makes me think she is more interested in fame than fashion. Didn't like any of the other looks and Sean should have been in on the make a last minute dress challenge. Making clothes where the model can't walk is ridiculous. My DVR cut out at the very end but wasn't Korina eliminated? Why are people talking about her coming back. Char is not as good as Korina, but she made a better dress in the last minute challenge. Korina was too mad that she had to actually compete in a competition.

This episode just reinforced my belief that having two days rather than one isn't that much of an advantage. i have watched every season of PR, and the outfits made in two days are usually no better or worse than the one day unless they are doing a couture gown. Obviously a really good outfit would take weeks, but I would be bored to tears watching them work over a period of weeks, so I am ok with how it is structured. Kini seems so sweet and I hope he wins it all. I wouldn't personally wear the dress he made, but it looked cute on his model and was more forward thinking then Korina's 1980's jacket. I did agree with the judges that Emily's was a bit costume like. I understand that many of the challenges don't have to translate to real life wear, but this one clearly did. I notice that no matter who the real woman is, the designers seem to have a hard time making the outfits. I think it is a combination of not being able to sew to more real measurements, their worry over what the judges will say, and their desire to please their real woman. I can't imagine Amanda's real women being happy with a dress I'm sure I wore in 6th grade. She has serious taste level (™ Nina). I don't think it has to do with Lifetime, but there seems to be a bigger disconnect this year between what the judges like among themselves and with Tim. If you design to please one judge, the others may feel differently. Add in the random celeb judges and you never know what they want. I continue to like Heidi and she has been both a model and a producer on this show long enough that her opinion is legitimate. I don't mind that she sometimes judges on whether she would wear it; she is a woman who has a nice figure, is not 18 years old and who appreciates fashion. It is just a valid opinion as the opinions of Nina who herself doesn't wear particularly fashionable clothes, and Zac who measures things against his own fashion line. Tim is more classically trained and looks for clean lines and proper seam work, which is also a valid point of view, but not always in line with the judges.

I don't think that Rayna is different than any other singer/celebrity. Very few of them stay in one place for a long period of time. The girls did have a stable one home life with Teddy for many years, but most kids of celebs are sent away to boarding schools, live with nannies full time or yes, move around. One move won't be the ending of their lives. I also think Rayna has been a good mother. She had a husband who was able to be there for the kids (and still is) while she was on tour. There are many characters on this show and the focus is on music and relationships, so we don't see her sitting down and doing homework etc. that much. I don't see her doing anything to Maddie besides trying her best to understand where she is coming from. Teenagers are hard to deal with under the best of circumstances. I don't like Luke at all and don't think she will be happy with him; but I can understand why she keeps trying to find the safe path. Marrying Teddy was safe, and when she is scared of falling back into the spell of Deacon, she will always seeks a safe alternative. Yes, in real life she should probably take some time for herself, but that would be boring TV. The show is borderline soap, so every character will have some love interest, like it or not. I don't mind it myself since I'm sure she will come to her senses on Luke. As for Juliette, I think the writers are trying to show how a young star is coming up, complete with many mistakes. At some point, she will calm down and things will look up for her. She already has (had) someone who loves her for herself; she just needs to stop self-destructing. I like the contrast between her, Scarlett and Rayna as they represent women in different places on the same journey.

All I live for at this point is child services taking Abel and Thomas away. Take your grandsons to a whore house, check. Tell a public masturbator he is on the pick-up list at the kid's school and suggest he keep his hands out of his pants while picking up the kid, check, exposing your previously traumatized grandson to more violence, check. And shouldn't Abel and Thomas be older by know? I understand TV time works different, but they have looked the exact same ages for many seasons and I'm sure more time has passed. Mr. MaddingCrowd is in law enforcement and he says every year that if one more corrupt cop comes along he is going to shoot our TV, so I hope this is something else. i can't follow Jax's dealing or killings any longer and no longer try. I assume Juice will die soon and then Jax will start shooting the hookers just for some variety (not really, but wouldn't surprise me). I think Charming should be on the national news for the most killings per week, they even beat out us here in Chicago!

I liked the road trip scenes and the live music was fun too. I never know if we are supposed to dislike Luke or not, but there is something shady about him that I can't put my finger on. I do wonder why they are going down this road instead of seeing how Rayna and Deacon plus Teddy could raise their family. I assume Juliette is pregnant because Hayden is in real life but it seems like the timing is really dumb since of course she won't know who the father is, but it will no doubt be Avery.

I liked Josh in his season and still like him now. His Geisha was beautiful. I remember the other contestants ragging on him before because his free style drawing isn't' strong; but I don't care about that if he makes beautiful tattoos. Most of the other people don't have great artistic skills either. Most of the tattoos I see on people I know are specific designs that are mostly traced, not free hand creations (although I know there are people who would want this). I also appreciate that Josh knows how long a good tattoo will take and advises his client accordingly. I don't think he has any kind of real beef with Jason. Please send Bette Page/Booberalla home. I can't stand the constant shots of her smirking.

I like the food Middle Feast serves and hope they win. I do wish they wouldn't go around looking like someone died though. They are the saddest group of contestants ever. I was worried that Bacon guy was going to collapse; it seems to be too much stress for him. I have never liked the Chuck wagon folks and still don't.

No he was driving really fast around curves with the "don't try this at home"line on the bottom of the screen. Why would this make me buy this car?

What is the point of the car commercial (I think Honda but not sure), where the dad drives like a maniac with a little girl in the back and they play the song "Wild One". Obviously the little girl is pretending to drive, but isn't the dad endangering her life by driving like a crazy person just cause its fun? Then at the end she makes a gesture like again and we see him screeching around a corner. How does this make me want to buy this car?

Loved Kini's dress and he did the best at fitting the challenge. Since the designers had the option to buy whatever fabric they wanted at mood, I wonder why so many ended up so drab? Korina made a cute outfit, but the skirt didn't look quite finished to me and it was apparent she was sewing it at the last minute. And who can't tell a 5 year old from a 15 year old? I was very surprised that Sandyha got the auf and not Emily. Emily's sweater was cute, but the outfit didn't fit American Girl and was too adult. Sandyha made an outfit for a baby, and it was ugly to boot. I think the judges didn't say more because they realized she had no interest in what they had to say and wouldn't try to learn from it. It is obvious she cares only about her own opinion which doesn't work well on a competition show. i was really annoyed at her for stepping in front of Korina at Mood too; another sign she thinks she is superior to everyone else. I actually really liked Amanda's this time which is a first for me. I was thinking about poor Fade and what he would do with this type of challenge. I can't imagine him doing American Girl stuff.

Is this supposed to be one of those half comedies/half dramas? Because it didn't seem entirely serious. Those kids were absolute terrors, and rather than being expelled they should be seen by a doctor. And it's supposed to be funny that a mom gives her kids cough syrup to put them asleep? I generally like Debra Messing but she is just miscast here. I think she could play the mother of a teenager or young adult, but just doesn't fit as the mother of preschoolers (and I know there are older mothers, I'm one of them). I just don't see her a police officer either.

I think if they could find a way to make this a little more realistic I would enjoy it. If Jordy was on his way to the operating room, he would have a saline IV and would most likely be sedated. No way would the doctors let him run around the hospital at that time. Heart patient girl would be closely monitored because she could easily have passed out on the rooftop and her parents would have sued. Not to mention the idea that these children not only live full time at the hospital, but have full reign of these huge wards with no parents or relatives present. Then of course there is the idea that a doctor would operate on a minor with no parents or guardian present. Sure. I did like the actor who played Leo and I think it could be a good show but not as it is. I actually thought the Red Band Society would be a bunch of kids who meet up with having Chemo and then it would be about their lives, it never occurred to me that these kids would be full time residents and yet appear healthy enough to run around and steal doctor's cars.

I thought this episode was kind of repetitive and boring. So Jax is once again trying to screw over another gang and goes on a killing spree-what else is new? I was wondering if Juice was thinking about telling Chibs about Gemma and that is why he came back to Wendy's place. Of course this will only mean Gemma will kill him and then kill Wayne for good measure Of course no one actually asks anyone questions so Gemma can't just ask Wayne why he has Tara's file. And what Sheriff would give a retired officer with ties to SAMCRO a file on the murder of one of their own? Not sure what Wayne is up to but his loyalty to Gemma makes me not trust him.

Page should be arrested for putting the life of a federal officer in danger and basically sending a killer after him. I understand Mike acted inappropriate but he didn't kill Lena and his goal was and should be the entire operation. Page is acting like it would be Ok for the entire group of girls including herself to be killed in order to save one person. That is never going to be the protocol for a large scale operation. On top of that they all put themselves in constant danger by ignoring orders, going in to situations without back-up and getting personally involved with people in every case they work on.

To me, a meaty texture is just as unappealing as a meaty taste. I guess people who are newly vegetarian might miss the texture of meat, but for those of us who don't like or miss meat, it isn't a consideration. I also have heard many people describe mushroom dishes as tasting like meat. I'm sure Tiffani's dish was good, but I would rather have the challenge be named a protein dish rather than a "meat substitute" dish which almost always means something that looks and tastes like meat or in this case seafood. My vegetarian friends and I look for dishes with protein, but never seek out "meat like" dishes although I assume people who like meat and are vegetarians for other reasons may do so. Again, nothing against the chefs, just the nature of the show assuming everyone wants or misses meat.

As a vegetarian since I was 8 years old, I'm always thrilled to see veggie challenges. I probably would have liked Dale's more, because I don't like anything that tastes like meat. Of course he needed to do something more with the tofu to make it have flavor. As far as the desserts, flour less chocolate cake has been around forever and there was no surprise in the dish. Dale's Mochi had a surprise filing which sounded yummy to me. I agree Rob was pushing his evil look for Tv.

The decorations are terrible in these hotels. And what good is cleaning and decorating two rooms and leaving the rest as is. It would make more sense to decorate one room and put them in touch with a local decorator to help with the rest. Of course, much like the other shows like Bar Rescue, the majority of the show must be spent on showing the owners being jerks. So no one was running the hotel, the kitchen used both the old menu and old food from the previous owners, no one of the three owners every ventured inside their own hotel rooms to see if they clean and now everything is perfect because of Gordon's visit? And no I don't need to see Gordon taking a shower or getting out of bed in his undies every episode. It adds nothing at all. I would like to see him talk to them about a cleaning regimen, show them how to cook all of these stunning dishes and perhaps have them work with a consultant in the hotel business.

I used to complain about this on the TWOP boards, but I still don't see what is in it for any of these club members. The majority of motorcycle clubs are law abiding guys who just like to ride. The others are in for money or drugs. These guys are not drug addicts, appear to have no money or no life to spend it on if they did, and they and everyone they love are in process of killing or being killed on a daily basis. Yes, MC clubs have each other's backs; but to commit to a way of life that will lead only to death or prison makes no sense to me at all. I watched all the previous seasons so I will see this through; but the lack of even one likable character makes it difficult. I know we are supposed to be rooting for Jax, but I just want him far away from his kids and hopefully they can be raised by a good person who can adopt them. I also don't buy Katey's explanation regarding Gemma. She said Gemma is not a psychopath because she is aware of what she is doing. Psychopaths are aware of what they are doing, they just don't care. Do we think Charles Manson was not aware of what he was doing? Katey does a good job of playing Gemma, but she can't justify her actions because there are no justifications. I used to like Juice somewhat but he has become a cowardly killer like the rest. I almost hate Unser worst of all because he was a law enforcement officer and now is just a cowardly lackey for Gemma. And I had to cover my eyes during the torture scenes which means they were brutal since my favorite show is The Walking Dead and I have never covered my eyes once. If the scenes fit in naturally with the story it would make sense, but there was no real reason for the man in the wheelchair or the Chinese guy because it's obvious that Jax will somehow found out it wasn't him and then Gemma will just find another target.

I thought the finale was terribly boring, especially since 3 out of the 6 couples left in the first 10 minutes of the show. They should have done some kind of game or activity, anything would have been more interesting. Still can't figure Graham out all. He seems quiet and not a famewhore, he paid no attention to other girls, why was he on this show? For the second week in a row I have to defend Ashlee. I think what she said made perfect sense. She wanted to continue to get to know Graham and was confident in her feelings, but they didn't know each other well enough to discuss marriage. Of course, stir the pot Michelle had to ruin things. Did Michelle ever think that maybe Graham liked Ashlee and she should leave it alone? I have always had guy friends but notice that when a woman friend is always talking a guy out of seeing a girl, she usually is interested in the guy herself. I feel sorry for Cody. He seems like a really nice guy (not my type at all), and I don't believe for a second Michelle will be content with him. Any woman who takes dating advice from a little girl is not looking for true love. I have no doubt Michelle will pop back up on some other show, leaving her daughter for weeks again. As for Marcus and Lacy; they both seem kind of immature to be married. Lacy seems sweet but the awful makeup she wears would be a huge distraction. I wonder if they paid Marcus to propose, he is only 25 and has just been in love with Andi. As for Sara, I did wonder why she didn't come right out and ask Robert why they didn't have sex. Why do some of these people talk around every subject? I didn't understand what she was really asking or what Robert was feeling. And he didn't have pants on when they went into the fantasy suite; I find it hard to believe he would put on pants when he was already in a robe.
