  1. As much as I snark about Nick and Nora do the Poseidon Adventure and as ridiculous as I find many of the stunts pulled during this three episode cruise ship arc I find it enjoyable. I'm having a good time watching it and am glad it's back. If a little dog called Asta shows up I will, however, revise my opinion.
  2. I didn't watch GB either. It looked like a game show host choosing from a bunch of Real Housewives wannabes. No thank you. In theory I was interested but in seeing it happen it was just really too uck for me. When Joey was talking to Daisy that last date I kept waiting for him to finish with, 'It's not you, it's me'. That was honestly a terrible date. Good for him though for cueing her in on his selection so she could handle it gracefully. That was class.
  3. Kelsey - stereotypical Barbie (not a dig, just her look) ; in it for the likes or to be Bachelorette? I don't get any real genuine emotion from her at all. It's all about being part of Bachelor Nation. And the like habit is hard to listen to. Rachel - seems very real; great family; I'd buy what she's selling. Her dad didn't give his blessing. Not because he didn't like Joey but because he thought it was stupid to ask (at all or at this point). Good for him. Daisy - cute, bubbly, conventional; from the land of ten thousand likes. Vocal fry and like habit would drive me nuts. Her family seemed like they were trying to unload her. Leaning way too heavily into the Hallmark theme. Maria: from the Anne Boleyn school of getting your man; I'd run.
  4. Hometowns give me a headache. I think it's my bullshit detector going off constantly throughout the episode. It doesn't bother me as much when it's just the women. But add in their relatives and their scripted roleplaying and I just can't.
  5. The vocal fry is becoming unbearable. Imagine a lifetime listening to some of these women talk to you. I watch Maria and I see Ann Boleyn. May she have a better outcome.
  6. In Oregon and Los Angeles I always get the 8:30 pm live broadcast and the 11:30 pm taped one. I have no idea if they are any different because I only watch one of them each time. It does make me wonder about that warning though - we're watching it originally at 8:30 without warning so why does the 10:00 rerun need a warning? Makes no sense. The PDD bit was great. I have an unresolved annoyance at the vast crop of nepo babies in show business right now and I was just thinking to myself, great! a roomful of nepo babies when it became clear that they were mocking themselves. "A foot in the door and so much more!" Whole thing cracked me up. Still annoyed by them, but at least this time they were actually funny.
  7. This show has been so weak lately that Lorne seems determined to fill it with as many guest cameos and music guest-in-sketch skits as humanly possible. Dakota (the actual host) was in the Gibb sketch but was reduced to extra with nothing to do while Fallon took over completely, seconded only by Timberlake. I get how Fallon was mimicking Barry Gibbs style of singing but I couldn't understand 90 percent of what he said so the jokes fell totally flat for me. Better writing. Less cameos and drop bys and musical guests in the sketches. Please. And while they're at it, get Sarah Sherman out of there entirely. Thank you.
  8. I just find her 'look everybody I'm a celebrity!' attitude very offputting. She killed her mother (deservedly IMHO) but didn't do it herself, she lured her boyfriend into doing it for her and ruined his entire life. A little shame and humility is in order here,not the faux celebrity tour she has been doing. What was done to her was horrible and I am glad she has a chance at a life now but seriously, tone it the fuck down. You did a horrible thing and your boyfriend, manipulated by you, is stuck in prison. You did that, Gypsy, you did that. You killed a woman, your mother, and ruined a boy's life. Act a little less giddy and like you deserve some applause for all of this.
  9. My God, who writes this crap? Poor little rapist was only 18, getting convicted could change his life! Well, yeah! He didn't just stumble on her and decide to see what happens, he chased her into the dressing room and decided to rape her. That is not just some phase of adolescence, that's a seriously warped criminal mind at work. And he'll do it again if he's not stopped. That's how it works. There is always a first time. He's not a little boy who made a mistake here. This whole, they are just babies, don't anybody do anything about their serious criminal behavior is just ridiculous. Leave it to this show to take this tack. I am pretty progressive and all for less draconian responses to minor criminal behavior in the very young but come on! The victim conflating her foster brother stealing gum with a guy who raped her doesn't even pass the smell test. I was raped by a young man (early twenties) who had a terrible history and intellectually I felt bad for him. Honestly. I still can't help but hope he's okay doing his long stretch in prison right now. But the only thing on my mind from the minute I had a chance to call 911 was to catch him and get him off the streets because he was gonna do this to someone else if I didn't. That was the most important thing and still is to me: do what you can to make this stop and not happen for someone else. And frankly, the younger someone is when they start this type of sexual violence the worse the outlook is for them changing tack. They don't just start with rape, they work up to it. The idea that he was just a kid, stuff happens, he's sorry, he won't do it again, etc just doesn't fit with what we know about sexual offenders. Aside from all of that, I was overwhelmed with disappointment when the episode started off with Benson's idiotic run. They are going to do this to us all season, aren't they?
  10. Listening to Renee Rapp sing reminded me of Tori Amos. Almost all of these young women singers right now are interchangeable to me, without much differentiation among their songs or their voices, but Renee stood out. Which is about as much praise as I can muster for this particular crop of young female singers. I never get tired of JAJ's Trump. And the real Trump does have a penchant for odd wording, including leaving off 'the' when speaking. That does track as accurate to me. In a particularly lackluster season this episode was middle of the road, which is high praise considering. The only episode I thought was truly funny was Nate Bargatze's. This season is so disappointing.
  11. Olivia is one of those people who make absolutely everything about her. The overemoting is so boring and aggravating. If that's acting, anyone can do that. They keep giving her Emmys for this crap. Add in the mom's overemoting and it was ridiculous. I kept waiting for the mom to have more to do with this kidnapping since she is seriously overcontrolling a fifteen year old teen and was freaking out when the girl was not with either parent for five minutes. If she were six I could believe it. At fifteen I think it was bizarre. I was willing to believe the girl actually ran away with a boyfriend mom knew nothing about since mom was such an anxious basket case well before the girl went missing. The mom acted like she was the one who had kidnapped the girl when she was younger and was afraid to leave her alone for a minute in case she got away. The plot was too big for one episode but I am not looking forward to more Olivia and this case this season (if that's what they are doing, which it seems clear they are). I wouldn't care so much about any of this if the show didn't have such promise and the cases didn't seem so interesting, just to actually watch this and see what Hargitay and company do to ruin them entirely. It's so frustrating. Fin is literally the only thing that draws me in at this point. I hope for Fin.
  12. I put this on my DVR and tried watching it before I went to sleep. Big mistake. This show is the loudest most anxiety producing thing on TV. It's fun although honestly I have no idea what is happening at any given time but it is interesting. But seriously, never watch it if you need to veg out or calm down. It raises my blood pressure just watching it.
  13. The mom's shower! I had forgotten about that. Yes, she was showering under a cold hose draped over a tree outside and was very happy to have an indoor shower/tub now. Andrew and his wife had hot water and a shower/tub(?) inside all that time. They were such pieces of crap.
  14. Texas Rift air date 1/07/24: Good grief. Older brother Andrew and his wife Ashley (?) insist that the purpose of founding this homestead was to have family togetherness and take care of mom and little brother (late teen I think). However, as Marty pointed out subtly, no one seems to be actually taking care of mom and the power dynamics are way off kilter. Andrew and wife have a tiny home that has hot and cold runnning water, a shower/tub, and a washer/maybe dryer. Mom has none of these things until very recently Andrew graciously ran some cold water to her tiny home. That's it. Just a line of cold water. They didn't say if little brother had any water in his tiny home. The homes are grouped together and the animals (lots of animals) live 'free range' or in cages right there among the homes. Honestly, I think mom was sweet and as kind and good natured as she could be but I think inside she is deeply regretting selling her home in order to place herself at the mercy of Andrew and wife. Little brother is under Andrew's thumb. Wife talks a good game but it was clear to me that she sees herself as the queen bee of the property and wants all the best for herself. When It was suggested that little brother move out onto the back of the property and set up his own home there and get some space you could see how unwelcome this idea was to Andrew and wife. We all have to stay with mom! We all have to work together to take care of mom! And wife actually says 'what if we want to move there and start our own separate home and expand our family?' Andrew diverted away from that statement quickly and emphasized poor mom again. No one asked mom what she wanted and little brother was unhappy. Marty really wanted to move little brother out there and they all were shocked at the reception this idea got. After letting them think overnight it was very very clear that Andrew and wife demanded things remain as they were and unhappy little brother woodenly said it was 'the right thing to do' and he'd stay with the rest. You could really tell he was not happy. Andrew was a huge lump who really did very little of the work while the team was there. He said multiple times that he was learning so much just watching Marty work. Marty is no fool so when Andrew tried a few times to remove a large metal post from the ground and declared he needed Marty to handle it Marty said no. Marty made him do it while Marty watched. That was great! Marty also took him to task about mom's home having almost no facilities and water while Andrew and wife had everything and told the two brothers that they needed to fix it today. No help, just do it themselves. And they did it pretty easily really. Andrew and wife left mom like that for a year and a half I think it was, and it only took someone forcing Andrew to do something and the two brothers got it done in less than a day. Honestly, I hated Andrew and his wife. They wanted Marty and his team to do it all and it was only Marty, Missy, and Matt who made them do things on their own homestead. I felt bad for little brother he was so good at hunting right away and really wanted to have some independence and for mom who was completely reliant on those two lumps of crap for everything. I hope they will be okay out there. I don't trust Andrew and his wife as far as I could throw 'em.
  15. He probably already called her once so she knew it was him. If I had to choose who to believe, Chance or Tayler, it would have to be Tayler because, well, it's Chance. Michael's six year old daughter absolutely broke my heart. What assholes the smug twins are. Total assholes. Who tells their kids they are leaving across country like that with 'the family' (not them) in an announcement at what they probably thought was a fun breakfast with dad. He could have told them quietly alone and explained it all and dealt with their questions and emotions honestly but no, he did it all at once as a group and barely dealt with the fallout at all. The smug twins just got uncomfortable and defensive but it was hardly a real discussion with anyone. They are so horrible. Lindsey trying to trap Blaine into marriage for her own ends is another stellar ex-con move. As was her complete disregard for her daughter's feelings about it. But no one is worse than Shavel and Quaylon. That those two dolts think terminating parental rights of her daughter's father is just no big deal and that Quaylon, the relatively newly released ex-con should have parental rights just because he wants them is a really really new low. I mean really low. And Quaylon becoming enraged because Shavel is having second thoughts about this terrible idea, that he thinks he has some right to her daughter as the engaged (not even a stepdad yet) partner is frightening. I'd be packing his stuff up and throwing him out before nightfall. This angry macho posturing about his right to her daughter and she'd better make it happen or else is horrifying. Her daughter is right to be wary of this guy. She doesn't want to be around him. Who can blame her. Shavel better pay attention better than she has been. Stupid stupid woman.
