Watched the rerun of the Gabby Petito episode last night. The video of the stop in Moab is heartbreaking. So many if only-isms apply that one hour.
But another thing I found disturbing? The ambition to make a living by getting others to pay to observe your life. If you do that, can you ever have a real life? Are you living for yourself or your audience? And if you’re living for yourself, why would people pay for the privilege of observation? I never did get the appeal of the Kardashians, so I’m not part of any target audience. The Truman show had a happy ending only when he left the set and the cameras behind. 20 years ago, that movie wasn’t a cautionary tale.

I have no doubt that Laura drowned her step son, and likely was right there in the water when it happened. As the expert testified, he would not have floated, he would have sank. So the likelihood of her being able to find him would be pretty slim I would think unless she was right there.
The fact that she smiled and waved to the fisherman as she left the beach cinched it for me. But everything pretty much added up to her making up the story about her step son wanting to go on a picnic, and Laura making sure she was in a deserted spot.
I am always amazed at how these women manage to find so many losers to marry them. Though the guy she left for David seemed like a good guy, but women like that are always looking for the next fix and need for something new. I actually laughed at the loser who was I think her first husband? The one she met in jail who blubbered and said he would always love her. And then there is the guy who is waiting for her to get out. WTF is with these morons?
I thought videotaping the swimming lesson was defensive groundwork.
I feel so sorry for the mother, Kelly.-

Did anyone watch this week’s episode about Brandon Woodruff? I’m not saying he’s necessarily innocent, but I wasn’t convinced he was guilty.
But who would be this case’s Pam Hupp? They were murdered, Brandon was the last known to person to see them alive, was in close proximity to a now-stolen possible murder weapon, and drove away in the truck his mother was using as part time of an on-going move, and a missing knife with his father’s blood was found in a location he’s was seen in after the murder.
If not Brandon, who? I think there’s more reasonable doubt about Pam Hupp/Betsy Faria than there is in this case. And I don’t think Pam’s case(s) will be taken up by an Innocence Project anytime soon.
About the blonde hair in the mom’s hand: wasn’t she blonde, at least in some of the photos? Couldn’t it have been her hair?

We've seen that George works hard to provide for his family (as does Mary), so giving him a few days to sort things out would've been nice. She didn't have to shove the want ads in his face so soon. It's not as if he's been laying out for months on end without looking for a job. I like Mary, but she's a bit of a nag at times.
Mary didn’t ask George to do anything she wasn’t willing to do: she didn’t shove the classifieds in his face - she brought them so they could search TOGETHER. And he perked up a little at the idea. Mary’s a bookkeeper: she knows how close they are to living on the edge. Many things would be nice, but things can get even worse.
If George had waited until he was fired, shouldn’t he have been eligible for unemployment? (For that matter, isn’t Mary? She really didn’t leave voluntarily.). But since he quit, even that tiny cushion is not an option.

That was great! However, I'm not happy with how Mary started throwing the want ads at George practically the second he announced that he quit his job. It's good that she was trying to be supportive, but damn, give the man a few days to get over the loss of his job, especially since he was humiliated in the process. He didn't harp on Mary to hit the pavement to start looking for a job ASAP. I hate it when Mary turns into a nag. I'm not blaming her for all of their issues, but she should've backed off and let him come to terms with losing his job.
But George was the one who started with the house-that-isn’t-paid-for reminder, so what was Mary to do? Banks really don’t care how you feel or where the mortgage payments come from. Mourning a job is hard enough; adding foreclosure makes a bad situation so much worse.
Mary lost her job, but kept busy with cooking and cleaning; her brush with soap operas came after her usual routine was done. George didn’t even bother to tie his robe to watch The Price is Right. Mary’s nagging paralleled Missy’s popping of the pimple.-

I didn’t get the point of the bar scene. Was the point to show that George has no support network, making it okay for him to find comfort elsewhere? It felt shoehorned-in.

I kinda get this. I’ve had times where I’ve heard weird noises from neighbors houses and I’ve wondered what was going on and if I should call 911, but you second guess yourself and don’t want to look foolish. In my case I think not calling has always been the right thing, can’t say without being there if I’d know there was a reason to call here.
There was a case on a court show, maybe a month or two ago, where a woman was billed by her city for calling 911 after she heard girls screaming from next door. As it turned out, the neighbors were hosting pre-teen girls for a slumber party. The screaming didn’t indicate anything bad, but she was fined. Do other cities penalize for false alarms?

Josh had such a way with words.
Horrible case - I don’t mean to make light of the crime.

Pam Hupp revisited, this time with the former prosecutor: the previews look good.
Update 60 minutes in: I’m not a fan of the prosecutor at all, but this is so uncomfortable to watch. Almost feeling sorry for the prosecutor. Almost.

From Hetty’s stalking Jay during the Alexa plug-in to her new obsession with removing the U2 poster, she stole every scene.

Now that it's over, I wonder.....Pam was fired from one of her insurance jobs for forging signatures. I'll bet anything that Betsy NEVER removed Russ from the policy - that Pam changed it all and forged her signature. Even if she HAD wanted to change the beneficiary - there would be no reason for Betsy to name Pam - Russ said that there were a host of people that Betsy was closer to than Pam - if it was a matter of "looking after the girls" she would have named one of them. Or her mother.
So I think Pam altered the policy because she needed money and killed her to get it.
Included in Dateline but skipped in the series is the mention of the librarian/notary who witnessed/notarized Betsy signing the change of beneficiary form. Forging Betsy’s signature is about the only thing where Pam is innocent in the entire series.

I wondered that, too.
What is the slayer rule?
It is the law or laws meant to prevent a murderer profiting from the crime. If Pam had been treated as a suspect from the start, the insurance company could have delayed or redirected payment.
Ever see Knives Out? It was part of the plot.

I knew Pam would win the case but they made it seem like the attorney for the daughters presented no evidence at all. I know they did that to highlight Pam’s behavior but they could have at least asked for proof regarding her mental problems and/or presented the idea that neither she nor Betsy were in the right frame of mind when they signed the papers. Maybe they did more in real life than was shown.
But if Pam ever gets convicted, can the slayer rule be applied retroactively?

The Pam Hupps of the world are the reason why returns can be so complicated?!?!?
How much of this is hyperbole? Did she really donate Sara’s baby shoes, or distribute compromised lozenges, or keep her husband from eating?

It just occurred to me: Jay said that selling Elias’s watch could net enough money to erase their debt. Since Ari paid twice the asking price, will this mean more renovations at Woodstone Manor?

Watching tonight’s episode in real-time: other than Isaiah, I don’t know who is more unlikable. Valerie has so many problems, but John is even worse. He needs backup to stand up for his daughter?!?!

What about Trevor's poor family? Did he have parents?
And did he never have Sam Google-search for his obituary? Or try to do it himself?
I thought his obituary was the source of his dating profile photo. Or have I remembered wrong?
Why didn’t Pinkus ever ask about the missing Trevor?

The Dateline people must have been besides themselves as they looked into this case further, they must have known they were striking gold.
If Dateline hadn’t done the case, would Russ still be in jail? His lawyer is great, but did all the attention prove more effective than skilled counsel?
The whole situation proves the necessity of the Innocence Project.Can you imagine Pam as a teacher? Was that true?

The insightful assistant for the win!
Isn’t Askey’s question about the election FB page during working hours a violation of campaign laws? But given everything else depicted in the series, that barely registers.
Betsy’s poor family: it keeps getting worse for them. Grief clouds judgment. If it happened to someone they knew instead of them, could they have seen through Pam?

Example
But actors and athletes are recognized for something else. The idea that people will pay to watch the life of someone is hard to fathom. There are lots of curious, enthusiastic and maturing people: what sets on apart from any other? One can live vicariously through thousands of people; what attracts one over any other? As I said earlier, I’m not the target demographic. But neither can I understand the appeal.
Bloggers/influencers are the next generation of multi-level marketers. A few live well, but most struggle to keep up.
