Yes, cliffhangers work when you can watch 3 or 4 episodes in a row-- you get to know the players better, you can see strategies in play, or you can wait a month and binge it all. On broadcast TV like this, the cliffhangers just take away from the tension and they even announce the eliminated person before you even know who they are (at least early on!). Also: enough with the jewel "nobody has ever stolen one" box challenge!

I am watching, but after a week I no longer remember/care about the "cliffhangers" of who is the Anonymous and who is out. A week between episodes does not work for this format.

The crazy this week! Missing cars, missing roomies, husbands not supporting wives, landladies spilling tea in the freezer section, the ponies!! And next week a ventriloquist job interview! 😍😍 -

I was YELLING at the TV over that. Learn body parts, people!! -
Sorry I'm so late to this party but my mama was late picking me up, then she had to get my brothers ready because I am too important to help. I am the queen of this rodeo, dontcha know! Sad that there was no salami rose when I finally showed up. Guess no one had a wine glass for this treat for a princess.

I feel like the couple/pair who had only done one previous reno was cast as cannon fodder, ie for drama. Dislike! -

Seems to me that allergens, religious restrictions, and medical conditions should be accommodated. I don't know how to factor vegans into that, though. But restricting pork products for Muslims and Jews, yes. Diagnosed celiacs? Yes. Self-diagnosed gluten intolerance? Nope. Personally, I think for-profit prisons should NOT be a thing! Saving dollars with no fresh fruit or vegs, for example, just pushes costs down the line with increased medical care, something that likely doesn't come out of prison budgets. Yeah, nobody found guilty and sentenced should get better meals than school kids or soup kitchens.... but moldy bologna and bread, that ain't it. -
Inmate To Roommate - General Discussion
TeapotWakeen replied to LEILANI2's topic in Inmate To Roommate
I do love this show... do none of these people talk about rules, boundaries, expectations before they agree to the living situation? Or is everyone so into their own agenda that they just say yes & think it will all work out? I hate that there are no re-entry support systems in place for either party. Not even a plan for "best practices" -- the teacher who wanted his new roommate to go to a protest before he even sees his home was CRAZY! Also.... BACON!! I thought the former inmate showed restraint with just bacon in the burrito and one side of bacon. 🥓 😜 -
S09.E01 - My Big Fat Greek Yacht Emergency
TeapotWakeen replied to Zaffy's topic in Below Deck Mediterranean
Not Captain Glenn from Sailing Yacht? He seems to be around still. Was there another Glenn? -
Yeah.... most of these folks aren't going to make it. The 3? 4? Black folks they are sending are doubling the Black population of the jail. Unsure of the Latino. Blonde bail bondsman is going to get shivved day 2, and I'll cheer! Let the fuckery begin!

Ditto to so much that has been said here! The right team won, boo for bare curved wall with janky island table crowded into it, yay for a dumb waiter (oops, showing my ago, I mean a 'grocery lift'), and the twins' room needed half the accessories removed. I hate that Keith and Evan toned it down so much!

S17.E87: The Journey So Far: Denver (12/27/23)
TeapotWakeen replied to Retired at last's topic in Married At First Sight
Listen..... any discussion of Lauren & Orion's hot tub talk that DOESN'T include O admitting to using the N word, and doesn't include his statement about "I've experienced racism twice in my life..." is some straight-up manipulative BS!!! and the show went downhill from there...
