BananaRama

She is also looking better than ever too. I think it may be because she has accepted that she is an older actress. Nicole Kidman's acting is terrific on this show.

On this show, if your character has any kind of medical background - you are doomed! The doctor at the CDC, Hershel, the nurse and doctor at the prison during the swine flu outbreak, porch dick, Tara's girlfriend, and now Dr. Carson. If I was that OB/GYN at Hilltop, I would be a little worried.

I enjoy this show. I'm glad that the characters are just angsty teenagers and not angsty teenage vampires or werewolves or wizards.

Poor Rebecca. This show is really tough on her character. But her character does a lot of stuff and has the same flaws as a mom in real life. I know that my mom wasn't perfect and as a result I'm dealing with her "motherly missteps" as an adult.

Wouldn't it be great if during the instructions that the designers are treated to a mini avant garde fashion show? It would be great for the audience too, because I used to think I knew what avant garde meant (or looked like) but after 12 years of Project Runway - I have absolutely no idea anymore!

I love this show. I enjoyed listening to the actors and directors talk about their work and not try to be clever or funny or charming.

I am going to take a break from this show and start watching again after this Negan story is finished. I hate that the Saviors are so mean-spirited but they are also very impractical. They pulled up to the Hilltop in 3 (or was it 4?) really big trucks and took half of their stuff. There are 3 groups scavenging for Negan...pretty soon everything that can be scavenged will be gone. Soon the scavengers won't have enough supplies to keep up their own strength and will say "fine, you win. Kill us." Plus, how many "soldiers" does Negan have? Where are they coming from? Rick's group has killed a bunch (the outpost, the motorcycle gang that Daryl took out with the Rocket launcher, etc.) There were several of Negan's men who jumped out of the trucks at Hilltop.

My heart broke when teenage Randall brought cookies and milk to teenage Kevin in the basement and Kevin tossed him an attitude. I do hope that their fight tonight mends their relationship tremendously and that they are better friends and brothers now. My heart can't take watching them hurt each other. Also Kevin's "In any other family - I would be the star" line was so selfish - never mind that he was directing it towards Randall - what about Kate! Poor Kate had to deal with two super stars in her family. I wonder if that contributed to her weight gain?

I laughed when Jane texted Rafael and told him that Michael is looking forward to working out at the gym and Michael complained that she ended the sentence with an exclamation mark. So funny.

Where did all of Alexandria's food go? When we first met them, they were having cocktail parties. Did they think that they had an endless supply and never thought about rationing the food? Honestly, where did it go?

Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Rob, Kendall and Kylie each need their own therapist and they should be meeting with them at least twice a week - especially Kendall and Kylie. They have been exploited (whored out?) by their mother since they were children.

I hate it when the judges ask the team members "who on your team should go home?" It is unfair. The designers are designers and the judges are the judges. The judges need to determine who should go home by looking at the quality and sometimes quantity of the work and the post runway "chats". It is crappy to ask the designers who should go home and the only reason the judges (the producers make them, I'm sure) do this is for drama. This show is interesting enough and it doesn't need the extra drama. Whenever the judges ask this question, I turn the channel because it makes me uncomfortable.

I wondered the same thing. Their lives are just awful. And how are the Alexandrians going to keep up with Negan's supply demands? I keep watching this show because I think eventually the show will run out of bad guys and Rick's group will start a new civilization. But I finally understand what everyone has been saying, "the people are the bad guys in the zombie apocalypse - not the zombies." This show will always be about bad guys doing bad things to people and it is not about building a new world that has been infested with zombies.

I loved "A Year in the Life" and SJP because of it.

Don't forget - according to Madison - Nick is charming and can light up a room.

I had wondered about this too. Why would the Ramseys go to such great lengths to cover this up to save Burke? Then I remembered that this family had experienced two recent tragedies - Patsy's stage 4 cancer and the death of John's other daughter. Now JonBenet is dead and Burke killed her? Patsy was a fighter and a survivor - she wasn't going to go down without a fight. They knew that Burke wasn't going to be executed, but they didn't know what would happen to him. They did know that if they confessed that he did it, then he would always be known as the nine-year-old who killed his little sister. The Ramseys probably didn't think that this case would have been so huge. They probably thought that the police would think an intruder did it, look for the killer and in a couple of weeks when they don't find the killer the case would be buried under a bunch of new cases and that would be the end of it.

They also lived in an affluent fairly secluded neighborhood. An intruder would have really had done his homework and spent a lot of time casing the house and family to commit this crime. If stranger was casing a house and family in that neighborhood - they would have been noticed.

For nearly 20 years I thought an intruder did it because of what I heard through the media (DNA evidence is found, the Grand Jury never filed charges, Mary Lacy exonerated the Ramseys). Then in 2013, after the Grand Jury indictment was released, I started reading more about the case. I then thought it was possible that Patsy was guilty. When I explained my reasoning to a friend why I thought maybe Patsy did it, my friend said that she thought Burke did it. I laughed in her face because that sounded ridiculous. My conversation with my friend happened two years ago and this was the very first time anyone had said to me that they thought Burke did it. Like nearly all of you (before this TV program) I just couldn't wrap my head around a 9-year-old killing his sister. Imagine it is 1996, and the Boulder police and DA announce that they suspect that Burke did it. The headline would be, "Police suspect six-year-old Little Miss Colorado was killed by nine-year-old brother." They would be hated for even thinking such a horrible thought. They would have to have impenetrable evidence. There could not be even a miniscule of doubt. Now that Burke is 29 years old and an adult, investigators can examine the possibility that Burke killed Jonbenet and not look like villains. Burke didn't do himself any favors by being interviewed by Dr. Phil. Gone is the image that we had of him since 1996 of him being a cute nine year old. Now we see him as an awkward and nervous adult.

The parents may not have known about the pineapple or they were so upset and distracted that they forgot about the pineapple. They are not professional criminals and there was so many other things that they would have to worry about and a limited amount of time. It does seem odd that Burke wouldn't tell them about the pineapple.

I like this show. I wish the showrunner would do a better job of fleshing out details and being consistent - especially with characters' behaviors - last week Madison was a pragmatic leader who wanted to do what was best for their little hotel community and this week she is a selfish jerk single-handedly risking everything. But let me get back to why I like this show... I like the assortment of stories and character studies. It is interesting watching Chris devolve into a villain. What if Alejandro was bitten but didn't turn? What sort of people will Ofelia meet along the road to NM? I like Nick and Luciana's relationship. Don't get me wrong, I love the Walking Dead but I feel like they relive the same storyline over and over. They find a safe place, bad guys ruin it, they find a safe place, bad guys ruin it...

I'm trying to piece together an intruder's actions the night of the event. Please critique and let me know what makes sense and what doesn't make sense. Here goes: The intruder enters through the basement window and brings duct tape, rope, gloves and a stun gun. He forgets to bring a ransom note. He writes the 3 page note in the house while the Ramseys are gone. He hears their car in the driveway. He can’t risk having the family find the note before the kidnapping so he takes the note and hides downstairs and waits until the family goes to bed. He takes the note and stun gun upstairs, stuns Jon Benet unconscious and carries her back to the basement and leaves the note on the stairs for the family to find in the morning. Instead of just walking out the door with her, he takes her downstairs to assault her. He ties her up and uses a garotte on her for his own cruel reasons. (The A&E program said she was sexually assaulted and the Dateline program said she was possibly sexually assaulted?) While doing this, she wakes up and starts clawing at the rope around her neck. He hits her on the head and kills her. Realizing that he killed her, he ditches his plans to kidnap her and he covers her with a blanket. He leaves the premises (either through the window again or the front or back door). He takes his stun gun, nylon rope and duct tape with him. He forgets that he left the ransom note on the stairs.

I think that the police showed incompetence and inexperience and stupidity. They made so many mistakes that even if they did find the perpetrator carrying a bag full of evidence, it would have been difficult to convict that person. The police never should have let friends and family enter the crime scene.

No, I think she genuinely loves Tom and she couldn't stop loving him that easily. What I think I am trying to say is that if she changes her mind and gives in to all the pressure and decides to not marry him, she can stop the others from rubbing it in her face by letting everyone know that she is heartbroken and anything bad that they have to say about Tom will just hurt her more.

I don't like Luann. Since season 1, I have always thought of her as being a paradox - she's a trashy countess. However, Luann is right, she and Tom are adults and if they want to get married then they should. She is ignoring the fact possibility that marrying him is a big mistake but she has dug herself into such a deep hole ("He's my SOULMATE!!!") that she is afraid of looking like a fool or worse ... having Ramona and Bethenney scream in her face "Told you so!" IMO she should call off the wedding, shut down the I-told-you-soers by agreeing with them "You guys were right...he is a pig", and play the sympathy card "I was blinded by love. I was so lonely and he was nice to me and told me that he loved me." Ramona, Sonja, Carole and Bethenney would look like total assholes if they beat her up when she is nursing a broken heart.

So true! By the way she was carrying on... referring to Tom as her lover and crying on Ramona's shoulder...I got the impression that their love story was supposed to be epic. Sonja wasn't much more than a last ditch booty call to Tom. And they say that Luann is delusional. With that being said, I really feel sorry for Sonja and like her a lot. She is like a puppy that just wants to be liked and keeps getting kicked. I want her to find the right business venture and I want her to be in a happy and healthy relationship.
