  1. The references to other horror movies were okay, but it was just too weird how Archie’s own family was willing to sacrifice him for…really trifling things. His uncle can’t get over himself enough to have a relationship with Alice, so he’ll have Archie killed to have a shot with Alice? Betty sacrificing Archie for a child has a twisted logic to it, but her excitement over her future son becoming the Maple King himself in 25 years is just insane. Why wish that on your child? Finally, who eats 119 pancakes in a sitting? The contests were kind of cool except for that one. The show wins me over and then it loses me completely.
  2. Why was JLo saying that Jefferson and Adrianita were the first salsa couple to get that far? Do Karen y Ricardo not count? Maybe I misheard...
  3. I was wondering if anyone else picked up on that. I wish the episode had not followed that book quite so closely, since it just felt like lazy writing. The bit about Mr. Honey being such a great principal bugged me too, but this forum was able to clarify why it was bothering me so much. The “goodness” really did just come out of nowhere. No build up at all. Some of Mr. Honey’s actions were reasonable, but there was always a whiff of vindictiveness about them that a good principal shouldn’t have. I’m starting to suspect Jellybean as the voyeur. She has free time, and no one ever pays any attention to her.
  4. Agreed. I was riveted season one, pushed through season two on principle, and this season I watch the first performance of a group just to see if any of the performers grab me. So far it’s a big “ so what?” The eliminations seem completely random. How are all these legendary singers getting eliminated in the first two rounds of group competition? At this point I just read forums for predictions and People.com for the unmasking.
  5. Coming to this late, it’s interesting to see what Yvie’s condition actually entails, since Jameela Jamil says she suffers from the same condition. Joel McHale’s enthusiasm is kind of endearing. Watching Michelle get annoyed by it is a bonus.
  6. One of my favourite moments from last season was guest judge Keenan looking at the other 3 judges in disbelief saying “who in their right mind does not know that is Gladys Knight?” I keep hoping for a repeat of that with Flower, sadly the guest judge wasn’t on her half of the episode.
  7. Had that exact same thought. So the reason Mary left her husband and son behind and started a new life in Chicago was that she couldn’t get a job in Riverdale??? Seriously? It’s such a flimsy reason. It bothers me that Archie won’t take a loan from Veronica but has no problem dragging her into a money laundering scheme.
  8. Although didn’t Gladys Knight claim that “Patti can’t cook” last season during her identity reveal?
  9. Phoebe seemed so tiny compared to Cat during her interview. I wonder how tall she is.
  10. It’s funny to me that of all the nonsense that has gone on in Riverdale, this was the thing that crossed the line for me. Serial killer dads, drug pushing nuns, grizzly bear fights, G&G...sure, whatever, it’s a TV show. But serial killer genes? Now we’ve jumped the shark!
  11. While Briar’s style of dance is not one that speaks to me, I did love how she supported the other dancers this season. When she said she was inspired by her competitors it felt genuine. She also seemed to be having the time of her life in the group number. All of the finalists seemed super supportive of each other in the backstage shots. It’s a nice change from reality tv trash talking. I’m guessing some of that is just dance culture?
  12. Mary Andrews, what do you think you’re doing being all logical, thinking about your child’s future, and trying to set reasonable limits for him? It’s as if she is on a completely different show from the other adults. I love her character and scenes with Archie, but she just doesn’t fit. Meanwhile, Sheriff FP is having Jughead cut class to come investigate at the junkyard. Is it even possible to fake-sell a business? Wouldn’t Veronica have some kind of proof of payment to go with her fake deed, allowing her to charge Hiram with fraud or something similar?
  13. I’m with hnygrl, having every single higher scoring qualifier lose in the duels really feels like manipulation. I really started feeling bad for Derek during those interview clips. It’s like I could see his dream slipping away in real time. Thankfully the D’Angelo brothers cheered me right back up. I realize it’s mostly due to English being their second language, but calling a broken nose and finger “very sad” in such a casual tone seemed like such an understatement. Also the need to clarify that they had red wine with dinner because of the meat entree. It’s so charming to me.
  14. Half the enjoyment I get from this show is from coming here and reading the technical critiques from Electric Boogaloo and others. I rewatched Exile’s performance and despite my best effort couldn’t catch anything, although the constant cuts to judge reactions kept throwing me off. Were there any moves in particular that a noob like me could watch for to see the lack of “clean”? I took advantage of the close up on Kayla’s shoes to try and figure out if she had “good feet”, but nothing stood out. How are her feet, for those in the know?
  15. It’s funny to me that T Pain’s horrible mistake was using auto tune, since it’s pretty much expected that most artists use it now. Now it’s a big deal when someone actually sings live with no backing track, etc.
  16. Marinspired from season 2 had a stiffness to their lifts that made them look clumsy. Jonathan y Jorge did not have that issue at all. I did agree with the judges that they do need more between the tricks. Charlize andJulian May be the first group to react to moving through before the final average was posted. It’s always bothered me in the past that people still look unsure after tnree 80+ scores are up. I realize that could just be editing, but still. I noticed JLo’s changing outfit, but didn’t realize it was juniors vs. seniors. In the past the clothes have stayed the same for all the auditions and that got boring, so I appreciate the attempt at changing it up. JLo’s “life through necklaces” was kind of funny. I had no idea this show was back. Stumbled on it by chance. The last two seasons had some advertising at least a couple of weeks prior.
  17. Ugh, this show. If Moose’s dad wanted to scare his son straight, what was the point of the “got you” message on the wall for the midnight club? It was a waste of time and resources. Also a little weird that Moose used Kevin’s last name when saying goodbye. They were boyfriends, not business partners. The rest of the ridiculousness has already been pointed out, such as the Midnight Club having to sneak in through a window. At this point I’m watching just to see how it ends.
  18. Did not expect to see Tori Spelling looking so rough under the mask. It looked like maybe badly done fillers. She didn’t have that puffiness in recent-ish pictures that I recall.
  19. A bit late to the discussion, have only just started watching this season on Netflix. It’s disappointing that Vivacious was the one in the bottom when Adore was the team captain and did a horrible job of it. Adore was also a mess last episode, so it’s frustrating that Adore keeps getting a free pass when others are in the bottom two for less severe mistakes.
  20. Thank you for the update, Amelio! One of the benefits of watching the show for the first time on Netflix is that I get the “where are they now?” right away.
  21. Magnolia did not seem to know any of the words to that lip synch. Between that and the lacklustre runway, why bother coming on the show at all?
  22. Seeing that Halloween performance brought back memories of Miley Cyrus constantly making fun of that song on her season.
  23. Found this show on Netflix recently and did not realize it was 2 years old! I did like that eliminated contestants continued to train until the end of the show, although it was not always clear if it was with the same trainer. Benny was a bit too over the top for me, and it weirded me out that in the one picture of his family his wife was a dead ringer for Jill. Sad I missed out on the main discussion, and that it seems that there will not be any more seasons unless Netflix picks it up.
  24. The Lab’s routine was perfection to my untrained eyes, I’m hoping they haven’t peaked too soon. I have no idea how they could do any better than they did this week. It’d be a shame if they lose some of that magic for the finale. The Ruggeds really changed up the typical b-boy routines that get shown on these programs. There always seems to be a moment where one dancer does tricks and the rest stand around in a circle. The spotlights at the beginning really broke that up. WOD acts like Sean is the only choreographer for this team, so how do S&K work in real life? Are they dancers that occasionally choreograph themselves, or is it that they mostly do Sean’s stuff but sometimes dance other people’s dances? Just curious.
  25. The favouritism shown to the acts who have some connection to the judges is SO irritating. Ashley and Zack worked with Derek and win their duel with a conventional contemporary. Rudy worked with Jennifer and Embodiment wins. The Pulse is from the studio that trained Derek IIRC, and also wins. DNA irritates me because Antonina comes off as having zero personality or charisma when dancing next to Denys. He draws all the arrention. She’s just kind of there. The woman is usually the one being showcased, so the routine feels off. L&J seemed to have equally strong presence on stage, so I enjoyed their duel more. Morning of Owl said they had a fun name for the double windmill...wonder what it was. Their routine was just so much fun.
