Agree with this. Everyone else was fine and it was nice seeing the medical examiner, Boom Boom and Pike but Lucy was so whiny. Ugh, it's usually Ernie who works my nerve but Lucy has just been a pain especially since they hooked her up with Kate. I'm fine with Sam Hanna hanging around but if all he's doing is babysitting Jane, that's a waste of the character.

I thought he'd been dipping into a too dark hair dye.

I thought it was a lovely episode and farwell to Ducky and David McCallum. I didn't expect Gibbs to be there but his presence was still felt. I was never a Tony fan but I was glad to see him show up at the end and have his moment with Jimmy and McGee. I even liked everyone coming together to wrap up a final case for Ducky. Like others I shed a few tears as well from Jimmy coming in to the house and Solo's head on the carpet to the very end and watching the flashbacks.

Glad the Josh thing is over. Though I think we'll still be subjected to the will he stay with Serena or is Allie going to continue to moon over him which is like the least interesting part of this show. Also don't care about Penny and her engaged. Of course Trey wound up getting caught but I did appreciate that he was trying to steer the police to Tarquenio and what's the deal with Tarquenio and Catherine? TPTB seems to be setting up a clashing with those two sometime this season. Even though Max seemed disappointed in Josh, no doubt he'll be back at work in no time. Allie as strict shift manager seems like a disaster waiting to happen. It seems that Beau is the most stable/calm of the lab techs and it was nice to see Park back. Nice to see that Milton seems to be the de facto medical examiner. And I don't mind the undersheriff Zhao sticking around either.

Yes, except for liking Robyn's silver earrings, I pretty much have the same opinions as the rest of the forum. Tired of the implausible CIA plots. Tired of Vi and Dee being in danger. Robyn being so concerned about Michelle after trying to kill all of her friends regardless of how Michelle got there, was a stretch. I was glad Dante got cleared and his shield back and got to see the secret lair.

I was fine with Nina. I especially had no issue with her addressing Remy's question about Kristin's departure. I also think she fits in better with the current team dynamic. Of course Remy didn't taking the doctor's advice because he knows better (insert eyeroll here). I do hope this storyline doesn't take up too much space but it would nice if at some point the two could have some sort of relationship.

I've given up on "time" as a real thing when tv/movies are involved. I can see wanting to keep things contained and on a need to know basis but still that doesn't fit in with how things would work in real life but it's fine for entertainment and expecting the audience to not ask questions.

I do hope we're done with the Nick drama because it always sucks the oxygen out of the room/episode. Next week definitely looks like it will be heavy.

Agree about the in memoriam segment being shoddy but I did figure out when they made an announcement during one of the commercial breaks that it would feature several artists which led me to thinking that it would pretty much be what it wound up being. The Grammys have a history of missing out on awarding people when they should and have for decades. In that regard, they're like pretty much every other major award show. For something that bills itself as being based on excellence and artistry, it really is top 40 mainly. Not that there's anything wrong with that but at least admit it and move on. By the same token, you're never going to make everyone happy.

I figured Sammi was first out when I saw the scores for the third round as I was flipping back and forth on this for the whole two hours. Agree about the leadership and team development. It seemed obvious that Ryan had a better grasp of this. Even if he did annoy me yelling at Jason about the chicken for the final table. Johnathan took longer to correct mistakes/weaknesses within his team. I'm fine with Ryan winning as he does seem to be more well rounded for what GR wants. I also agree that several of the chefs from this season could wind up working in some GR establishment as that's something he seems to do.

Yes, Carmen wasn't my favorite but Ryan should have probably been eliminated and agree, I don't need to hear Johnathan making rude remarks about how Gordon makes him feel. I'm guess I'm pulling for Sammi but I get the feeling she'll the first one out next epi.

Agree with what others have said. Those elims made no sense. Johnathan should have gone along with Carmen. I guess Ryan for the win? Though none of the remaining chefs is all that appealing.

Finally, Jason is gone. Gone and still in denial about how his three dishes were the best. I'm glad six jackets were given out though I agree it was a little surprising that Carmen received one. I definitely thought Ryan deserved one so an extra is fine since it would make sense for a double elimination to be coming along.

Eh, she sang it at the special for Willie's 90th birthday celebration/concert and agree she wouldn't have been my choice. I'm more interested in when Willie and Dave Matthews became friends.

Speaking of the biography portion, the one I thought was really incomplete was Renee Fleming. I mean, what drives a child to want to be an opera diva? Yes, I can google it, but it would have been nice to see that.

Ditto not being a Buble fan and it's kind of hard to top the version of this song by Al Green.

ABC is going to air the 2023 induction on Mon, New Year's Day at 8:00.

Adding to the, there had to be a better way to end the Barry Gibb tribute. It was sort of a let down after the other performers. Was also wondering where Patti Labelle was for the Dionne Warwick tribute. I thought at one point she, Gladys and Patti were pretty close. Not to say that other things couldn't have gotten in the way but I thought it was odd. I also miss the biography portion of the show for each honoree though. Some seemed more lacking than others. I also didn't understand Gloria Estefan opening the show though it does seem as though the producers are trying to change things up probably to broaden the appeal of the show but this show has pretty much been consistent ratings-wise so I'm not sure if this helped in that regard.

As soon as they went to the voting I was saying they can just hurry up and vote Sea Queen off first since only people who aren't familiar with her, don't know it's Macy Gray. I figured Gazelle would be next and it would be down to Donut and Cow especially with Donut's sob story. I do hope Neyo isn't trying to be Nick Cannon 2.

I've always felt that way about singers. When my mom was in the choir she smoked and so did other members. I've never understood how anyone who sings, amateur or professional justifies smoking.

Sounds like I didn't miss much (I was out and got back in time to see the end of dinner service). But why is Jason still there?! Ugh, how much drama does a show need?

Hah! This so much. I loved his reaction when the chef called out his pasta. It's like he was stunned someone could find fault with it. I figured Atoye was going. I never expected her to get to the end. I was little surprised by Carmen though. She's full of herself as well but I didn't expect her to express her self doubt like that. Donya's looking shaky so who knows.

This! Like how many folks partied with Alan Thicke, lol? I was expecting Macy Gray to go but whatever show.

The rare times I've seen fresh butter made, I've never seen ice as a part of it. I'm neutral on Christina laughing at them. Jason does seem less obnoxious but I doubt that will last long. Yes, Sandra going probably was due to her self-eliminating in a way but she'd also been in the bottom several times so I'd have been surprised if she got much further. Donya OTOH needs to get a grip though. I get they all have their breaking points but some of them seem a bit more high strung. Also, if the idea of celebs includes youtube and IG influencers the pickings are mighty slim.

I figured Gazelle would be saved. I like her but she's a little too fond of adding runs when she sings. As for Cow, agree that his Ring My Bell could have easily added the second verse of the song to be more even but I'm okay with him going through. I figured they would send them both on through after eliminating S'More which I was fine with. I barely remember hearing of O Town.
