The siblings pressing their faces to the glass in the meat locker like General Zod and his gang in the Phantom Zone was hilarious. BJ face planting on the pole dance. How he didn't break his neck I have no idea. Keefe getting a boner while talking about the "devil's piss." OMG this show! 😂

I agree. Having her prance around in lacy panties in front of old guys, talking creepily with Billy Bob about sex with her boyfriend, and the camera deliberately panning down to show her rear at every opportunity, Sheridan doesn't even try to hide what the daughter is there for. Just about every moment with her the first two episodes made me cringe, and I'm a dad. It undermines the credibility of the show because this is such an unrealistic portrayal of a teenage daughter.

Funny, I just started watching this show because we didn't have Paramount until now, and I've seen Sons of Anarchy. But the show this reminded me of from the start is Breaking Bad. It has that whole, funky dusty town with the quirky locals vibe that was all through BB. Those scenes in the pot store felt straight out of BB.

Tory beating the shit out of Zara was the most satisfying fight action of the entire series for me.

"Can't you do the heat magic on Robby's leg?" "Uh, if that could fix a torn ACL, the NFL and NBA would have already patented it." Great setup for the championship fights. Tory to redeem Kreese and Miguel to redeem Johnny. The scene with Johnny and Kreese was the one everyone needed for the past forty years.

I knew from the very beginning of this series that this was the Johnny Lawrence story, and here we are. Fitting end with him squashing the fly in the restaurant.

I don't get how that virtual reality training would work at all. It's still Miguel fighting Robby and not that other guy. All the VR does it make it look like the other guy is fighting him, but he is still fighting Miguel with Miguel's skills, physical ability, and fighting style. So he only beat an avatar of that guy.

That makes it even worse! Ripoff squared!! 😆

This show is back to its shameless stealing of old movie tropes, as Kim kills the Pai Mei guy from Kill Bill with the ripoff of the five point palm exploding heart technique, also from Kill Bill. Ugh.

Why is Natalie still around? She barely hides the fact that she's a grifting Ukranian skank who lied about wanting kids and used TLC to con her way to America. Her and Jasmine together looks like a hooker lineup.

The second challenge was completely disappointing. 947 was so caught up in getting the pattern right - which she nailed - that she neglected to check where the first square was located in the first row. I find it interesting that the final two were one number apart. The odds of the final two players having sequential numbers is 500-1. I could tell the way they dragged out the suitcases finale that it would be solved on the first try. Someone is good at reading poker faces.

Sure, marijuana mellows you out, your synapses fire less wildly, and you tic less severely. So not a cure, but it can reduce symptoms.

I wouldn't recommend surgery to anyone with TS. Anything that touches the brain really. As for medication, none of it that I've seen is very effective. They either turn you into a drooling zombie or have risky side effects. I took clonidine as a teenager but it lowers your blood pressure and after getting dizzy from taking it several times I said no more. There isn't any technique I see that is effective either. It basically comes down to, do you try and suppress it or let it go? If you suppress it, it doesn't go away and actually gets worse. It's like if you have a kettle boiling on the stove and you cover the release valve. You stopped the steam from coming out, but now pressure is building in the kettle until the lid pops off. That's what it's like suppressing tics. But people understandably don't want to draw attention to themselves, especially in public, so they try to suppress it as much as they can.

I have TS and even wrote a book about my experiences growing up with it. I had never heard of Baylen, never watched her on social media. So I went into this cold. I heard some comments that she was faking or exaggerating her TS, and I am well aware of TLC's horrid reputation with their reality shows. But I went in with an open mind. So far, I am okay with the show. I wonder if some things were playing to the camera, like saying "I have a gun" in the TSA line. Vocal tics are completely random so 99% of the time you aren't going to say the thing that has maximum comedic effect. I found Baylen to be very likeable, which was a concern of mine with the way the ads promoted the show. Most people who have tics try the best we can to mask or minimize them, not let them all hang out, which was how the ads presented it.. "I ticked again, Oops!" But when Baylen talks to the camera she feels very natural, and I like that they have other people with TS on the show who are very genuine, so to this point the show is bringing some positive awareness to sufferers of TS. I just hope TLC doesn't wreck it, as they are known to do in order to get ratings.

I'm only three episodes in but was flabbergasted that these four captains elected not to take ONE MILLION DOLLARS for the "greater good." These people are strangers to you, and 99% of them aren't going to win anything anyway! What about your family and your kids you could have helped with that kind of money, and how do you explain yourselves now after the show aired? "Yes, we could have gotten out of this crappy apartment and bought a nice house, yes you could have gone to any college you wanted, but it was for the GREATER GOOD!" Good grief!
