I think they wanted people to like Owen, and this was the best way to do it - or at least sympathize with him. I found it hard to take, too, but that was my first thought. I respected her when she told him to leave, when he flew to Germany, and she found out that was Amelia's idea.
I'm totally in the minority, because I always liked Owen. Except with the Cristina pregnancy story line. He knew what he was getting into with Cristina.
On another note, I just finished season 5 and again, I cried when George was revealed to be John Doe. The only time I have ever cried while watching a television show. Every time I watch it, I cry. Probably shouldn't have watched it during my lunch hour since I had to go into a Zoom meeting after and everyone was wondering why I looked so bad. 😄

Of course they are, because what people really want to be entertained by is the current crisis we're all trying to survive through.
Is the pandemic going to be a part of the show until there's a vaccine/cure, or will they just do a little arc, pat themselves on the back for being topical, and then forget about it? At this point, I wouldn't put it past them to have Our Lady of the Sun coming up with a cure, because on top of randomly being able to speak Italian 15 seasons into the show, she's also a virologist!
The second option, obviously. Once they've done something on Grey's, they forget about it. Until they need to do it again with a different character.

It came out, when they decided to have Teddy cheat on Owen. The guy she'd pined for, for years, and openly contested Cristina for, at times.
I found this very hard to take. Teddy, who I never really cared for anyway, finally got the man she wanted, then decides to have a fling with Koracick of all people.
I get that the show is a drama and all that, but it doesn't have to be a "drama."

I'm either completely blocking this out or it was from one of the seasons I didn't really watch. When was this revealed?
It was just this past season. And yeah, came out of nowhere.

I’m sure it sounds like I’m a Suzanne apologist, but based on what we are seeing of her lately, she seems to be a great and nurturing partner. I really think she got a bad edit/reputation in the beginning but she was just reacting to Seth being that awful.
I remember not really liking her during her initial challenge, but she's not so bad here. I think even Mother Teresa would have a bad reputation after dealing with Seth.
Sorry to see Wes go, but that kind of pain is agonizing. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. Hope someone else can get some hunting done. As to the constipation problem, aren't they supplementing with greens? Makani was eating greens; couldn't they eat those?

Wow, I didn't even know he was in that. Guess I stopped way early. 🙂

Yep, and Addison was with someone else at the time, wasn't she? I liked who she ended up with on Private Practice.
I stopped watching Private Practice midway through the second season, I think. Did she end up with Tim Daly's character? I did like him, but I've always liked him in everything I've seen him in.

Mid-way through season five and just finished the episode where Addison came back with her brother with the brain worms.
Were that whole group from Private Practice obnoxious as hell or what? "Hey, we know you love Meredith and were planning to propose to her, but let's remind you, Derek, of the song you wrote for Addison where you promised to stay with her until death." And they even got Mark in on it!

I'm sure it's an editing issue, but what was with Wes and Gwen and the "Who is that?" at the beginning? They knew Ryan was coming back with his people. Yes, Suzanne was an addition, but still? I was getting flashbacks to Jeff and getting very irritated, but at least that changed.
Not sorry to see Seth go (is anyone?) and even didn't fault Bulent for not sharing his kill. He coulda thrown him a piece of jerky, tho. But what do you expect from a jerk?

I don't get how Callie is still living in a tarp. It is Callie, right?
On 7/5/2020 at 3:11 AM, Yeah No said:I have to admit I don't even know them apart by name yet, which is telling. Usually by this time in the season I would have been able to do that.
I think I have the guys down, but I keep forgetting which female is which. 🙂

Finally got to watch the episode tonight.
I worry that Wes and Gwen are going to be the new Jeff and Laura. That whole "make sure we have our food" really bugged me.
Can't wait to see what happens with Seth and Bulent.
My favorite group is Camp Murder Puddle. I hope that doesn't change when they join up with Wes and Gwen.

I'm not as impressed with this group as I was with past XL participants. But here's my nickel's worth of opinion, anyway:
Seth is a petulant ass who needs to be left alone so he can see how hard Suzanne was working while he was "hunting." BTW, I swear her name didn't have the umlaut in the first episode. She is a bit of a mother, and not in a good way, but when dealing with a petulant child, I guess you gotta be.
I knew Makani wasn't going to make it from day one. First off, her lazy strategy would never have lasted 40 days. sorry she got sick, but she's better off out. And did anyone else notice that her voice went from normal to baby doll breathy and back?
Bulent has ALWAYS been a jerk. I can't wait until the teams meet up and he's the one banished.
Wes and Gwen are good together. I loved Gwen in her first challenge. I don't know how she's handling the African heat.
Love the team of Sarah, Ryan and Jonathan. They seem to be working the best as a threesome. Camp Murder Puddle is an excellent camp name.
But the best part of this season is "Clothed and Opinionated." They could not have picked better people for that!! Except now that they've added Jeff the (insert your favorite insult here).

I just finished episode 19 of season 3, the one where George and Izzie hook up. It felt wrong then and still feels completely wrong. As a matter of fact, Grey's has a serious problem with close male/female friendships. Nearly every close M/F friendship ended up as lovers. George and Izzie, Jackson and April. The only one I can recall that didn't was Meredith and Alex. Of course, after 16 years, I might be forgetting one.

I'm doing a slow rewatch now, about 3 episodes a day between work.
I'm up to season 3, episode 10. It really was much, much better in the first few seasons, but I still think Derek was insufferable.

Obviously not the first guy to lose his "fire steel," as he kept calling it, but yeah, I would have scoured every inch of the area where I had been before I tapped. Especially since it was his dream.
I'm sure if they have another bring back the ones who didn't make it season, like season 5, Shawn will be back.
A bit off topic: I LOVED season 5, and especially because Sam won.

It will be at least a week after the premiere before I watch the opening episode. Just my way of refusing to give them what they want which is huge ratings for that Season 7 opener. I would love to see a ratings dip (which I know won't happen) for that episode just to show TPTB that we don't like to be yanked around. And especially not yanked twice in one season!
I don't have that kind of willpower. I'll watch live, no matter how ticked I am that they screwed the fans with that "awesome" cliffhanger.

S07.E07: Snared
in Alone
Sorry to see Joel go, but better he leave before he did physical damage. Loved his little freezer, but Roland's food cache was a beast. The more I see him, the more I think he goes the distance.
Mark should be glad he snared that fox; it stopped the fox from eating his rabbit.
