I have lots of thoughts.
This show has set up this whole Elena vs. Mia dynamic. What's interesting to me is that as much as I hate Elena's actions this episode (telling Pearl the truth, telling Izzy that it's hard to be her mother) and her passive aggressive racist comments ("you didn't fill a quota"), I at least don't hate to see her on my screen. She seems to be a fully-realized, 3-dimensional character. I've been trying to figure out my feelings for Elena vs. Mia and why they're different. Why when they both do terrible things, I somehow hate Mia more than Elena. I think I've finally figured it out: As much as I don't like Elena as a person, I at least *understand* her. I think credit goes to Reese's acting. There's a nuance to her performance. She's not playing every scene the same way, and I see the moments where she is genuinely apologetic and realizes she's overstepped.
It's the opposite for me with Mia. Mia thinks she has done NOTHING wrong! She thinks she was right to keep Pearl away from her biological father. She thinks it's fine to live out of a run-down car while sitting on a photo worth $400,000! And when she does sell the photo, it's on behalf of a person she's known for 3 months instead of her own damn daughter! Then, in the bedroom scene, she has the nerve to cop an attitude with Pearl and tell her, "Oh, so what I gave you wasn't good enough?" No! It wasn't! I felt such a cathartic release when Pearl yelled at her to get out of her room. Finally, Kerry Washington is playing her with such a smug, morally superior attitude. This is the first episode where I saw something else on her face other than smugness and sneering, and it's because Elena finally took her down a peg. I also don't understand why she is so angry. I have *no* sympathy for Mia. I wonder if my feelings would be different if she were played by a different actor.
Also, as much as Izzy hates Elena, Izzy has always had a roof over her head. She has everything she's ever needed. When I look at Izzy's life versus Pearl's, I find it hard to have a lot of sympathy for Izzy. The whole Christmas card debacle is a prime example. Yes, Elena could've just let Izzy wear the white shoes. However, Elena (and Bill) is the one paying for the photographer, the printing, the postage, etc... If *she* is paying for it, then she has every right to tell Izzy to "put on the fucking [tartan] keds." My aunt and uncle and their kids take pictures for a Christmas card every year, and you can bet that their outfits are chosen and approved by my aunt and uncle. You know why? Cause they are the parents, and they are the ones paying for the card/picture. I bet you Pearl would love to take a yearly Christmas picture in front of a warm fireplace in a nice house.
This episode showed how Joshua Jackson has been criminally underused on this show. He was great this episode. I particularly loved his, "Sit. Down." moment.
That's what I was saying about Mia and Izzy: They're both self-righteous assholes who think that they can do no wrong. They're both narcissists.
I loved it when Elena finally yelled at her spoiled brat of a daughter at the Christmas photo shoot, she needs to continue to put Izzy in her place.

Great post. I hope he continues to do well, and makes it to the final. Maybe he'll be safe from being thrown into more eliminations after he obtains a certain amount of red skulls?
I hope there is a limit to how many red skulls you can collect because it doesn't make sense that you can keep throwing the same person in an elimination.

After watching that ep my hatred for Mia, Bebe, Izzy, and the annoying boyfriend of Lexie has boiled over. Mia showed in this ep that she never puts her daughter first, Bebe is a pathological lair, Izzy is a narcissistic, ungrateful little bitch, and Brian is self righteous, guilt tripping scumbag who uses the color of his skin to get over on people.

I disagree that Mia paid for Bebe’s lawyers to spite Elena. She’s doing it because she’s projecting her own insecurity about the righteousness of her decision to take Pearl away from a wealthy couple onto Bebe’s situation. Even if Elena hadn’t been Mia’s conduit to locating Mai Lin, I don’t think Mia’s actions would be different as far as helping Bebe. Elena being a part of the conflict is just icing on the cake.
No, she did it to to get at Elena because she is a spiteful and ungrateful person who fucked with the wrong person. Glad, Elena told Pearl what a POS her mother is.

Well, that elimination was shit. I really hope we don't run in to much more of these useless episodes.
Jenny celebrating like she actually did something is fucking laughable and Dee is so damn petty and clingy as fuck.

I like the name Pearl for her because just the way a pearl is produced within the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk (or another animal), that's how I metaphorically see Mia raising Pearl.
And for me, Mia works because she's all MeMeMea!Nah, Mia is a POS.
-
The characters who I think are utter pieces of shit are Mia, Izzy, and Bebe.
Mia: A deadbeat, morally bankrupt, nasty person.
Izzy: A spoiled, ungrateful, ugly inside and out person.
Bebe: Another deadbeat, morally bankrupt, nasty person.

The one word to describe this show is... bisexual.
I've had enough of that word in the 2 episodes I watched.

I haven't been watching the show that long but man, Chole is a patronizing self-righteous POS! She needs to stay out of peoples business! She ain't nobodies "older sister!"

I didn't think that this was possible but they managed to turn this show into a shit show! Adding transgenders and lesbians and gays just throws the show off. Hard pass on this season.

Man, I am pissed off that the villain couple won!
If Christie & Josh hadn't had the leave the competition they would've destroyed Kyle & Shay in the Rage Cage.
Robbie throughout the show treated his partner Jessika like shit and him hitting her in the face with the paddle only solidifies that he is an asshole.
Jaret & Christina couldn't get that medicine ball in the cage in save their life, but if they could've gotten over that obstacle they would've been right behind Kyle & Shay and not given them any rest which would've made that last Rage Cage very close.
Overall I liked the show but I think they could improve it by making the Rage Cage have more full on contact eliminations and get ride of the 2 hosts.

The right team won! One of my favorite parts in that finale was when Ashley actually thought she had a shot of making it to the boat. LMAO! Great stuff.

Emily has to be one of the most self dishonest person I have ever seen. She is a complete idiot who is willing to live a lie with one of the worst human being to ever be on the show in Billy Reilich. Fucking idiot!
-
Ashley taking Ben up to the bed that Deac put flowers on and then kicking Deac off the show was fucked up. She is a piece of shit who deserves to be treated like shit.

Man, Dee is an idiot. SMH.
As much as I hate Jordan I was rooting for him to win that elimination solely based on the fact that Ashley was involved in putting him down there. I fucking hate her!

What Rogan did to Dee is unforgivable and utterly disgraceful. Fuck him!

Jordan is bona fide dumbass who is obsessed with taking down Cara because he can't compete with the top guys on he show. I loved seeing the look of fear in his eyes when Turbo called his ass in the room like he was a little boy that needed scolding. LMAO!

Let's be real here, there are a lot of people who are dependent on Johnny to get them to a final, partly because they aren't that bright and cause they're scared of Johnny. Leroy is just flat out dependent on Johnny to get him the a finals.
The British alliance is so damn dumb! Why would you put your 2nd weakest player in an elimination? And why in the hell did they send mostly women to the trivia challenge? They aren't the smartest group of women we've seen on the Challenge.
I'm so disappointed in Dee for being so damn emotional and not knowing THE 7 CONTINENTS! WTF?

S03.E06: Decoherence
in Westworld
Wow, this show has really fallen a fucking part! They fucked up every character and have made this show all about 2 of the worst characters in Dolores and Hale.
The way they made Serac's character get dumber and dumber in these last 2 ep is fucking ridiculous: He could've easily stopped stuck up Dolores and killed Hale in the first couple of episodes but they made him play dumb and be nowhere near them to actually stop Dolores's dumb plan. SMH. And the plot armor Hale has is off the fucking charts ridiculous.
This show sucks ass!
