I'm right there with you. Yeah, make the clues hard to figure out, but there should be some way for the contestants to logically make sense of them. It was asking way too much for them to think they should 'get' that the note thanking them for borrowing the pans meant that the actual baking pans were missing and that they were for madeleines.

By insisting on using bananas and caramel, it seemed like they did not appreciate or understand what the point of the show was. I love Joel and both judges, but the cooks don't seem to be the most or talented knowledgeable contestants. Their reaction to where clues were found or the possibility that the clues were there to mislead them did not seem to be something they were aware of. Makes me think they were not past viewers of the show.

I did like Amy in the episode but was honestly disappointed with the older Sheldon. After all Sheldon's talk about loving his Dad, appreciating all he did and understanding he did the best he could, etc. - he still acts like a jerk concerning his own kids. He did not learn anything from his Dad or learn anything by being a father himself. Even Sheldon should realize that no matter what his personal opinion of sports is, his son enjoys it and plays on a team. Sheldon should certainly go watch him play no matter what. Be A Dad Sheldon! At least pretend to show some interest in your children. I guess I thought after he got married he would have somewhat matured emotionally and respected the feelings of his wife and kids. But from what he was writing in his book and his attitude toward watching his son's game, he still seems as self centered as always.

Unless it is discovered that the vasectomy had something to do with George's health and ultimate death, this was a very strange and unnecessary detour for the show to take. I agree with others that there are so many other story lines that I would like to see wrapped up. It also was unrealistic that George would be able to just take the appointment of someone who decided against his vasectomy without any previous health check up or tests, etc.

It doesn't seem fair that the team should have to make sure the crew is behind them at all times. The team was driving in a strange country, driving on the opposite side of the road they are used to, going around a stupid roundabout (I personally hate roundabouts) and trying to figure out where to turn. Then in addition to that they are supposed to be keeping an eye on the crew car too??? The crew has one job - to follow the team car. I would think the minute the crew lost sight of the team car they should be the ones to use the walkie talkie to contact them. We really do need an explanation from someone in charge to explain this situation.

Barbados is 20 miles by 15 miles long. It took the crew 90 minutes to get to the beach?? I wouldn't think it should take 90 minutes to get anywhere on the island. It appears they had a very directionally challenged crew following them. That seems like a really poor penalty they had to endure for what seems to be a very poor crew assigned to them. And then after all that waiting, they got another available crew to use. Really unfortunate to have something like this determine they had to leave the show.

I kept thinking the same thing. Isn't the crew supposed to be shadowing the teams - no matter where they go?? What does right or wrong exit have to do with anything? If Danny and Angie got off at any exit - shouldn't the crew have followed them. It sure seems like they were penalized for the crew making mistake - not because of a misstep by themselves.

I'm not. The actor that played Georgie was the only decent actor of those 4 and now that they "civilized" him he has no personality at all. Generic Georgie. I agree with you - Generic Georgie - is the perfect way to describe what they have done to him. Ever since he has known of Mandy's pregnancy, his personality has totally changed. I guess it is good he wants to take care of his family, but they have made him so boring in the process. Missy calls Sheldon 'An Old Man' - I feel that title now also can apply to Georgie.

It was hard to believe that he actually thought Missy was telling the truth. The thing I thought was also unbelievable about that scene was that Sheldon was doing any sort of physical manual labor. He always pushes things like that off on others.

I have never warmed up to the Mandy character. She is not really funny or quirky or even interesting to me. She seems sour and gloomy most of the time. And since Georgie has become a father and engaged to Mandy, his character seems to have 'flattened out'. His funny appealing side seems to have vanished. I guess it is good he is serious about his new family, but I don't find the character entertaining any more. I wish the Mandy and Georgie show well, but I don't intend to watch it a show mainly about them.

“Of course the door is always open,” said Binder. But, the EP pointed out, “When we bring him back, we’re not going to bring him back for two minutes” a la Weatherly’s cameo. “It’s got to be something special.” _________________________________________________________________________________________ That statement is just a bunch of BS to me. What could be more special to Gibbs (or the show) than attending Ducky's funeral. Plus, by mentioning that Weatherly's cameo was for two minutes, it sounds like Harmon could not be bothered to take just 2 minutes of his time for his appearance. It sounds like a put down of Tony's character. As others have stated also, just a final shot of a woman dressed in black holding a black parasol standing next to a silver haired man would have satisfied most of us. They did not necessarily need Harmon to actually appear.

I beg to differ - I don't think Gibbs showing up would have taken the focus away from Ducky. Tony showing up only added to the story for me. Tony was a plus and did not detract from the affection shown for Ducky. On another web site, I read an interesting thought. They said that it would have been a nice finale of the story to have shown Ducky's burial from a distance. We would have seen Gibbs and maybe Abby from a back view at the grave. That way neither actor would have actually had to have been there in person. Just a thought.....

I was surprised and disappointed that Gibbs didn't put in a brief appearance as Tony did at the end. Mark Harmon is still listed as an Executive Producer of the show so he seems to be involved in it. A cameo by him would have really concluded the tribute nicely.

The episode with Emma's first birthday was shown today. It got me wondering about Ben. Were there episodes with both Emma and Ben together? Ross it seems would have wanted his two children to know each other.

I thought his son was relatively unemotional about the whole thing (except for his kind thoughts about his mother). I couldn't really tell if he really thought his father was guilty or innocent. I also wondered about the two daughters' feelings about the situation. I thought Remy was just a despicable person. I am not sure what his children thought about him, but he did not seem to have concerns for them. I don't think he mentioned missing them or frankly caring what was happening to them because of his trial. In all his ramblings, he never talked about how his the kids were doing or that he missed them. I did think it was rather interesting when near the end they talked to the inept lawyer who defended him and the lawyer said that he personally always thought Remy was guilty from the beginning. Hey fella, so did all of us!
