I think DereX deserves AFP simply because he was stuck in the jury house alone with Britini for an entire week, and then with Britini and SB for a week after that. That man is either deaf or has the self-control of a Legend!

I liked this episode. The family were very nice but they seemed paralyzed by the terrible financial situation they'd gotten themselves into. It really was a tough problem to work out. Marcus' plan was probably the best way to extricate the family from this without going bankrupt. If the business had an enterprise value of $8-$10 million, then they were probably able to swap that $2.8 million debt into 28%-30% equity if they were lucky (35%-40% if they weren't so lucky). Marcus got 25%, so the family probably retained 35%-49% equity for themselves. Plus, they now have the working capital to expand the business and move into other items like the chicken coops and rabbit hutches. The summary at the end said the business had already grown 90% since the episode was filmed, so that should make everyone happy. Nice people, a complicated problem, everyone worked together to solve the issue with minimal drama. What a great way to start the season!

I found James to be utterly exhausting. His fake smile and giggles as he once again tells Marcus that he just wasn't able to complete the task at hand got on my nerves. How can this guy think he's ready to go national with his one product that he doesn't even know how to make (or has any interest in making himself)? I've worked with guys like this in the past; big talkers with giant dreams who never seem to go anywhere because every single opportunity they get is torpedoed by their lack of follow-through. Marcus has walked away from better businesses than this.

I love it when a well-crafted, intricate plan in BB completely implodes. For that reason, I'm kind of hoping that Whitney wins Veto on Wed., takes Brent down, and X is left with only his (many!) alliance members to choose from to nominate. Also, I fully plan to avoid the live feeds this week, as we're getting enough rain in Atlanta so I don't need to watch Britini's waterworks for another week!

The history of Big Brother is littered with players who came into the house and started playing HARD from Day 1, creating multiple, overlapping alliances, ratting out said-alliances, trying to bully the "weaker" players, deciding who's a pawn and who's a true player, and going on massive power-trips, only to fall into fits of paranoia and confusion. The house inevitably turns on these "power players" and usually votes them out by Week 2 or 3. They burn brightly and then burn out. Frenchie is definitely one of "those guys". haha I'd love to see a version of Big Brother where a bunch of these past players are brought back and put into the house together. If all 16 houseguests are super-alpha power (trip) players, what happens when they all clash? Would the eventual winner be the least obnoxious of the group, or would he be the ONE TRUE ALL-TIME ALPHA DOG of Big Brother? :)

Frenchie is only 34??? Yikes! What's he growing on that farm of his? Plutonium?

Master-strategist and "student-of-the-game" Frenchie sure was confident in his decisions early on, wasn't he? Did he really guarantee safety for 14 players? Did he really promise the women that "no woman will see the block this week" and then nominate Allyssa? Did he get caught red-handed by 5 houseguests while eavesdropping at a doorway? Hmmm. Maybe he has Big Brother confused with The Amazing Race (or The Bachelor!) LOL (I can get behind his plan of meatheads and showmances go first, but I think, in a practical sense, that would be very tough to do.)

My only problem with the first episode is how rushed it was. They immediately ran outside and had their competitions, one after another. I like when everyone enters the house, picks out their beds, and sit around the sofas, introducing themselves. That gives us a chance to see who rubs people the wrong way as it happens! Let the dislike begin BEFORE the competitions start! haha

I'm never a big fan of undercover stories in TV shows. It brings a level of suspense that goes beyond entertainment and into "uncomfortableness" for me. Plus, Officer Chen is such a kind hearted character; I don't think she'd be very good at this line of police work. I'd rather see her return to the fold and handle regular police cases each week. Nolan as a T.O. makes a lot of sense, both for him and for the title of the show. This way, we'll always have at least one rookie in "The Rookie" (much like how the title role of the resident changes constantly on "The Resident"). Nolan and Bradford in their "undercover clothes" staking out the house of the drug lord's girlfriend was probably the worst attempt at going undercover I've ever seen on TV. Even I could have identified those two guys as cops if I saw them hanging out in their car! LOL

Yes, this episode wasn't as "funny" as you'd expect a sitcom to be, but I was riveted anyway. Watching the drama play out (the billiard balls was a really nice touch!) and kind of knowing where the plot was going had me on the edge of my seat. It was more involving than most dramas that I've seen on TV recently. I like all the characters on the show (glad to see the Reverend back this week!) so I feel bad for each of them. YS has been renewed for 3 more seasons, and I think the producers have probably roughly planned out the next 75 or so episodes. I think we'll get some really funny episodes, some fairly dramatic episodes, and everything in between. I'm ready to join the Coopers on their journey.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with all the alternate reality "what if's". They were all great. I wish they'd done one where Georgie was the genius, since grown-up Georgie will be played by the guy who travelled throughout the multi-verse for 4 seasons on "Sliders"! It was great to finally have Dr. Sturgis back with the rest of the cast. I've started to warm up to Team Meemaw/Dale, but now I think I'm back on Team Meemaw/Dr. Sturgis. Who would have guessed that the best romantic triangle on TV would involve all senior citizens?

I was sorry (and surprised) that the EMT died on the operating table but, to be honest, it was kind of overdue. The doctors at Chastain Memorial do some of the most complicated surgeries ever devised, and without any preparation at all, week after week, and practically every patient survives and flourishes. They should definitely have a much higher death rate than they do. Having said that, you had a guy with a giant metal rod sticking out of his head, a girl who had all of her insides removed, scraped clean of tumors, and re-installed, and a woman who lost her leg in a tornado. Of those 3 patients, the leg injury wasn't the one I would have guessed as being the fatal one. Conrad and Nic need to get away from that hospital on their days off. They spend way too much time at work to be mentally healthy!

I like Al's beliefs in children respecting their elders and helping around the house (things I was not good at as a lad!) but he did seem to go a little overboard with it, given that he's living in someone else's house. Also, I'm with Hazel; I would have NEVER eaten that spinach thing! haha What's the best way for Al to help this family "be better"? I don't know, but I like the fact that this show is demonstrating this difference in cultures and looking for "the best way" (or at least the middle ground) for raising a family with respect, duty, and love.

The whole idea of a "Girl's Night Out" was to cheer up Brenda. Instead, Mary ended up being the center of attention (again). I know Mary tries, but she's obviously where Sheldon gets his selfishness. He definitely takes after his Momma. This was the first time I liked Billy. He's always been that dumb kid who's played for laughs. This episode, I really felt bad for him, and now I'm worried about what's going to happen to him. I like how the guys included him in the poker game; I'd like to see more of that. I think George could be a big help to him, too, if he kind of takes him under his wing. This is one of those rare shows where I don't dislike any of the characters (even the recurring ones like the principal and the teachers).

Dr. Cain is such a good mustache-twirling villain and I really, REALLY want karma to bite him hard! It would be so satisfying to see him get what he so richly deserves. Please don't turn him into Dr. Bell 2.0! I kind of enjoyed Dr. Cain's partner-in-evil, the Asian CEO who was recently written off the show. I thought he had much more potential for being turned from "the enemy" to simply an antagonist, a guy who's not really bad, just a lot more bottom-line oriented than the rest of the characters on the show. I'm surprised that Mina is actually leaving the show on her own accord! I guess being regular on a big-time network TV series isn't the huge deal that it used to be, and that there are bigger opportunities out there in the entertainment world. It looks like the new plot for the season is the guy who thinks he can cure sickle-cell. Since that's not currently possible in real life, I guess he'll either be so overly dedicated to finding a cure that he cuts major corners (causing drama), or he's a greedy con-man out to line his own pockets at the expense of others (causing drama).

Oscar seems a lot like the bad guy from the first episode of the new Hawaii-Five-O, played by Will Yun Lee. He started as a machinegun-wielding crazy drug dealer, got "softened" by having a family backstory, and ended up becoming a valuable asset to the team. I liked that character growth. Oscar has the same potential. I think when you stumble onto the right actor for a role, it gives the writers a lot more room to work their magic.

I liked it. The show had some decent jokes (kind of a modern take on "Perfect Strangers") but also touched on some interesting real-life issues with vets returning home from war. I'll definitely watch it again, and I'm glad they moved the MUCH less watchable "B Positive" to make room for this show.

I'm glad we're done with the Mirrorverse story, and we get to see Central City starting to rebuild. I also liked Abra Kadabra's return; he's a pretty good villain. It did seem weird that he "died a hero" just 2 minutes after he almost murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people but, hey, the Paragon of Love, and all that! I do like that Barry is back to seeing the good in people as his default setting rather than the cynical, dour hero he's been in recent seasons. Why does Barry continually run up to the villain of the week, stop, and start bragging about how easy they were to catch? We ALL know at this point that the villain is going to attack (successfully) and knock Flash and the team senseless. Wait until after they're in custody to make your quips, Barry! That monster at the end was the worst CGI I've seen in any form of media in at least 20 years. That was embarrassing. Why is Joe always sidelined these days? He was in an early scene and again at the end, and that was it. Joe's always been the center of this show for me. He grounds all the crazy goings-on with his much more realistic character (maybe its all those years of "Law & Order" coming through). Having him sit out most episodes pushes the show into "silly territory" for me and it's becoming much more of a comic book show rather than a drama series that just happens to have superheroes in it.

I had no idea Efrat Dor was a real name! I thought the producers were having a little fun with us, and there was an actor named Rod Tarfe in the cast for this mirror world story arc.

This story arc has been going on for a year and a half now (not the show's fault, I know), and I'm still so confused as to what the "Mirror Monarch" wanted. She wanted to escape her mirror prison. Then she wanted revenge on her husband and killed him (I think?). Then she wanted to keep Iris in the prison, along with Chief Singh and Camilla for some reason.(?) (EDIT: Oh, and there was an evil Iris skulking around for a few episodes but then she turned good and gave Barry a pep talk and then died.) Then she wanted to stop the Flash and somehow drained his power (or was that a different villain who did that?). And then she wanted to create her own army to take over the world. And then she was sorry and the Flash helped her go back "home". Huh? Was this story arc one of those writers' challenges where a new writer comes in each week and is forced to pick up the unfinished story and write an entirely new episode on the spot? Is this what a "real" story arc for "The Flash" looks like when a person is trapped in the mirror universe? Can we all agree that Barry should never, ever unironically refer to himself as "the Paragon of Love" ever again on this show?

Step 1: Killer Frost shows up to surprise the Bad Guy Step 2: KF makes some tough-guy quip and attacks Step 3: The Bad Guy is surprised and attacks back Step 4: KF is overwhelmed and knocked senseless Has there EVER been a KF episode where the above didn't happen in exactly this same way? I like KF, and Caitlyn is one of my favorite characters, but KF must really stand for Kannon Fodder because she never wins any of her battles. The writers really need to mix things up some (or else just kill KF off once and for all).

Wait, so this show is trying to tell us that when Conrad was in the Army, he defied a direct order from a superior because he felt he knew best? That doesn't sound like Conrad at all! LOL Heck, he does that same thing every single episode!!! Instead of absolving "Saint" Conrad of his sin, I wish the Captain had really rubbed it in and not let him off the hook. What he did was really serious. Now that Kit is the CEO, maybe should should write on her white board "Hire more surgeons". Theo can't be expected to do ALL the operations, you know! I'm glad Dr. Cain isn't going to change his stripes anytime soon, but I was surprised to see him scheming so quickly. I still hope to see a major comeupppance for him soon. (Do they still have that 200 foot tall poster of him hanging on the outside of the hospital? They should paste the faces of some of the other cast members on there each week. Imagine what Dr. Cain would say if he saw some underling's face scotch-taped onto his body for all of Atlanta to see! haha)

I miss Dr. Sturgis, but Dr. Linkletter has really been funny so far this season. I would also prefer seeing more of the Reverand and his cop-wife, and less of Mr. Lundy. Having said that, though, this is the funniest show on TV right now and I always have some good laughs each week.

I think we could have used a 2-3 minute "Previously On...." trailer at the beginning of this episode. It's been a year, and I don't remember anything that happened in this storyline. I think the Captain and Cisco's girlfriend have been turned evil? I know Iris is stuck in that silly mirror prison and Barry lost his powers. Otherwise, I was just sitting there going, "huh?!?" the entire episode! I want more Joe and Caitlyn, my 2 favorite characters. I've said it before and I'll say it again - "Lighten up, Barry!"

I went to a Southern Baptist school throughout the 70s and early 80s, and we had plenty of school-sanctioned dances. In fact, I had no idea Baptists supposedly didn't like dancing until "Footloose" came out in 1984! Although it's true that they really don't like gambling. I learned this the hard way! LOL
