Madding crowd

This seemed like a set-up episode and nothing really happened, even the snake bite was quickly resolved. The last two seasons I couldn’t wait for Sunday to come around for a new episode. So far, this is Ok but not as exciting for me. I didn’t think we needed a third scene of the three women talking about each other, we got the idea. The posture training scene was set up solely so we could find out Lochlan is hiding his feminine side, something we already knew. I’m not seeing anything interesting going on with Buddhist Piper or frat bro Saxon so I’m hoping for some surprises.

They should have had the seer earlier. It seems likely that it is Danielle which would be a waste. Dylan is the only one who is wavering and he didn’t win anything the first two rounds. Gabby and Ivar already suspect Danielle and Delores won’t pick Danielle or Brittany to question if she’s the seer so it seems wasted.

The stalker was clearly based off “Baby Reindeer”. I think some of these rich people drug cases are difficult to prove but it would be frustrating to the DA’s office to have a witness who saw bloody shoes and not be able to use that information. Darryl was making the choice to try something illegal and that comes with a chance of losing his job.

Santos saying her experience as a festival goer was worth more than other doctors experience was just more of her hubris. Is she going to question every medication order? This is her first day, she should be listening and learning. I wouldn’t want her as my doctor because I wouldn’t trust her to control pain for me even if she is good with diagnoses. I felt bad for Dana getting hurt; people always take things out on nurses.

The experts never bring up the things I would ask such as how could Michelle say she was trying when she slept in a different room or apartment every night, put down her husband at every opportunity and only spent time with him when she wanted to accuse him of something. I don’t like him either but he was questioned by the experts and she wasn’t. I would ask Madison why she complained about Allen’s teeth and clothes but doesn’t do the same with David. I would ask Juan how he expects to be married when he said he doesn’t do hugs and kisses. Saying you want to take it slow is one thing, saying you don’t do physical affection would make it very hard to match you. I know he is a model and he clearly went on here for exposure. He either has someone in the wings, is not interested in women or he truly expects to get married without kissing or hugging his spouse which seems crazy to me. I would bring up to Camille that she asked for husband material and made it clear that she didn’t want the swaggy guys who let her down in the past, except she still does. I don’t have any real questions for Emem and Ikechi because I always felt the show was hiding something about them and I don’t think we will ever find out what it is.

They are going to need some kind of hook to keep the show going. ER and Grey’s Anatomy had large ensemble casts to show different relationships along with patients, New Amsterdam had changing hospital and insurance regulations, The Good Doctor had an autistic doctor. This one has a woman with amnesia but if her amnesia doesn’t matter they need something else especially since they no longer have villains with Richard and Sonya.

It would have been nice for her to compromise and not have the entire apartment look like a teenager’s room. I don’t like how confrontational her sister was with Colin. Colin goes beyond in taking care of Baylen but I’m guessing it will never be enough as far as her family is concerned. The screaming tic will not be good in an apartment.

I like Dancy in this role and hope he stays. I don’t think he is getting soft as much as he was tired and frustrated that the victim’s parents and baby mama didn’t want justice and refused to cooperate. And the confession was thrown out . This is the second time Brady lied to someone to get a confession. Cops can lie but there is always a chance it will get thrown out if the defense can prove it was not lawful for a particular reason. I do hope Maroun leaves, she is constantly second guessing Price and is always sympathetic to the defendant.

I actually liked the rusical for some reason and most of the queens did well to passable except for Acacia who performed Dorothy like a funeral dirge. The Cher part wasn’t that great but of course Ru and Michelle laugh like loons over someone flipping their hair and sayin “ohhh” . Suzie is my favorite so I wanted her to win and thought she did great.

This show isn’t known for realism. They have rookie cops hunting serial killers, working as SWAT officers and trying to take down drug cartels. Faking cancer seems like something they’d do.

It was making me nervous seeing people drink lake water then getting sick. I also hated the guy who wouldn’t get his fiancé fire making material. I hope she dumps him when this is done.

I can’t believe she was qualified to be a principal of a school; although it was a Christian school there should be some effort at getting someone with administration experience and advanced education. Amanda really showed her colors when she cut off her step daughter without a further thought. They mentioned the ex-wife gained legal custody after an incident on a family cruise with Amanda’s family. Does anyone know anything about that? Her husband belongs in jail too. It’s impossible to fake a terminal cancer diagnosis while pregnant with someone you live with. I can see her fooling the kids though.

Ok-I don’t remember any scenes of them sitting down with the experts and saying they didn’t find each other attractive or suited to themselves. I do remember him saying he was in it to have fun and they both said they were giving it a chance but I don’t remember specific scenes where Juan or Karla said they asked for a different type, wanted someone taller, shorter etc.

I’m warming up to Texas guy; he comes on too strong but seems like a good person. Seth on the other hand is going to get someone killed. Of course I watch this with my police officer husband and he’s yelling at the TV that a rookie cop is not going to get an immediate approval to buy drugs for a sting. Those things are planned out and he wouldn’t be part of it. I think he is lying about cancer but I don’t know what his reasoning is.

On another subject I find it interesting that Juan and Karla never say how they feel about each other and the experts never really ask them deep questions. I have no idea if they find each other attractive or like each other’s personality. They are fulfilling their contracts but it’s obvious they don’t want to be married. We have so much information on the likes and dislikes of all the other people but almost nothing from them .

It drives me crazy when people just stand there letting the seconds tick by. Did they forget it’s their turn? Tonight a person had to yell out play before the lady answered. The worst part is you automatically know they will lose because they can’t get the time back.

So they are trying to redeem the characters of Richard and Sonya. I guessed previously they would rush to get rid of the more unique parts of the story and then would just have a regular medical drama. The main conceit about her amnesia won’t work for more than one season. She already knows everything except for Richard’s secret and once she knows that they will have to think of new things to add.

Baylen is a sweet girl but not mature enough to live on her own. Colin has to go to work and won’t be able to take care of her 24/7. I’m wondering if they could get a part time caregiver to help her while Colin isn’t there. They do have a very nice apartment especially for D.C.

I also wonder about her parents. Surely they would have seen her endless posts, videos etc. Yet they paid no attention and even went to Europe after she announced terminal cancer. The husband had to know; you can’t fake that level of detail with someone you live with.

I also thought Suzie would be great at this but she fell into the trap of thinking a good imitation is automatically funny. Only Eddie Murphy and Bigfoot were funny. I don’t mind if the queens do men; anything they can do to be funny is ok. I was impressed with most of the runways; especially Susie’s.

I didn’t buy Vince trying to give advice to delusional injured knight; first responders do their job and move on. They don’t have time to play therapist to people they rescue. This of course mirrored Eve’s girlfriend to say they can’t be together until she shares all of herself . Of course Eve then tells Jake she likes fantasy and apparently all is well.

Santos is just an awful person. She has zero respect for her coworkers and is trying to get another doctor in trouble for no reason we can see. It is terrible to threaten a patient, she doesn’t know the whole story yet and it isn’t her place.

Her comment to Brady that it was her husband and daughter’s business not hers made me despise her. If she can make films about empowering women, she could have helped her daughter. Telling her husband about the video was making a choice .

Gordon seemed like he is phoning it in this season. The drive thru window wasn’t needed, they only seemed to have coffee and croissants and it won’t make them any real money. Gordon failed to tackle that the real issue which was the daughter didn’t want to be there and didn’t get along with anyone. I think it’s odd that on Bar Rescue, Taffer tells the owner they should be walking around seeing what needs to be done and help as needed. Here the daughter didn’t want the mom around. Hell, if I owned a restaurant I wouldn’t let people tell me I couldn’t be there. Also, why did Gordon continue to let people eat when the woman was outside puking and one person received pink and bloody chicken?

I think if you are doing the 1,2,3 order you are more likely going to get at least some of the higher numbers which means less money added to the ultimate pot. It always seems like the high number cases are spread around and not just in the 8-12 cases. If it is really entirely random then it wouldn’t make a difference but I know in the original show they never seemed to have high number cases in numbers frequently picked.
