  1. I think that's part of the joke surrounding "taking care" of his daughter and selling the violin. It's not that he couldn't suddenly die but he stood a pretty good chance of not only pulling through this medical crisis but retaining much/all of his cognitive function.
  2. Based on the way they described how the grandmother tried to be the mother to her son's child, she struck me as quite overbearing. The daughter-in-law likely pushed back because that's not the way she grew up but the son probably had years of conforming to her desires. Once he left the police station after the confrontation, she could work on him. Yeah but it's not like it was a license plate. It was an after market effect which I'm sure wasn't exclusive to her truck. And they drove past her house and said to the guy "do you recognize any vehicles?" I think it would have been better to show him a few pictures of similar looking trucks and have him point it out.
  3. I don't think Garrett's absence is as a law enforcement figure, specifically. If that's all it was, then Paris (I refer to as Paris even though I never watched Gilmore Girls) would be fine. The issue is that her relationship was strictly with Garrett. They have to develop her connection to the rest of the cast as much as they have to do the same with the Sin Cara crew. That's why I said I think it's difficult.
  4. They're keeping Arman alive because at the time they filmed this, everyone was hoping Adan Canto would beat his cancer and return to the show. He didn't die until later in production. But I also wonder if they regret killing off Garret. It's tough to lose two main characters on a show with basically only 5.
  5. I thought for sure it was the girlfriend when I saw her because she looked thin and seemed like she could have been the figure in the security feed. But then their alibis cleared and we learned more about Joanna. (I guess the son could still have been involved but I don't think he would have caved about his mom if he were. ) I wonder if the son even fought for custody or if there just wasn't any money left once the mother needed to put up a defense*. *I am a little surprised they got a conviction. The evidence felt rather flimsy. He seemed more upset in the Dateline interview he did years later. But all we get is a quick snapshot of the interviews and he might have been numb or felt in control during that moment. Not everyone cries a lot. I think I've said before that I don't and I hope I'm never suspected of murder on Dateline because you'd all declare me guilty because of how unusually I react to death. Seriously, I think I cried once, alone, right after my dad died and never again and had to control myself from not laughing out loud during my uncle's funeral when everyone else was crying. I'm a psychopath, y'all, just not one inclined to murder.
  6. I don't think anyone is expecting the show to care about the woman's privacy which is why Jimmy told Chelsea off-camera, asked her not to mention it on-camera and felt betrayed when she brought it up during an on-camera argument.
  7. I wanted to love it because I love Paris but I watch these in the background and I still don't think I could tell you who was murdered. And I did think it was ridiculous you'd have two French people speak to one another in English and yet they'd also start randomly using French phrases with the English speaker. The culprit did surprise me though. I'd watch another given the setting.
  8. Don't Trevor and Jeramy make even more sense? (And really, Jimmy, Johnny and Jeramy is just a casting fail in terms of names. )
  9. There were things I liked about it and things I didn't. I think it would have been more interesting if Athena started having a bit of panic about being cooped up after she got on the ship instead of being cooped up with Bobby. I'm sure she wouldn't be the first to think a cruise sounds like a good idea only to feel a bit cooped up by the fact that you can only go so far. I feel like we've seen something similar with Christopher related to his mother before so that felt like a retread even if I liked his scenes with Buck and Oliver. But I did like the relationship theme of the rescues.
  10. It sounds like the S1 people (or at least couples) are moving away from the franchise. I recently read that Lauren said that their contract with Netflix ended and she didn't really watch the show any longer.
  11. Joe Manganiello surprised me. He wasn't just good. He was out of this world at times. He had almost telepathic connections with the contestants. And he got so many of the final passwords with the contestants. I feel bad for the second contestant because Jimmy was just bad.
  12. And if I remember correctly, we saw Peppermint's reaction and it was a nothingburger, IMO. A nothingburger that Trishelle blew up. She came into The Traitors with a reputation of being the queen of microaggressions because of what she did in The Challenge. The way she reacted to Peppermint is just a continuation of that, especially since she went after Peppermint first. Being around a lot of different people doesn't prevent someone from performing acts of microaggression.
  13. None have broken out big but I don't know that Clark Duke has had a better career than Jake McDornan (who has lead or co-lead a few series), Scott Michael Foster (been a series regular in other things), Amber Stevens West (also a series regular in other things, or Paul James (has had regular series roles recently.)
  14. I think it'd depend on whether or not the prosecution opted to go to trial or not. They did seem to be losing evidence. I will say that they were unclear about how much they pushed her. Prosecutors might have met with her more often to see if she still stuck with her alibi which may have led to her cracking a bit. And she might have gotten cold feet once she realized she would have to testify to the alibi under oath.
