Three hours is the bare minimum of time to get through customs, check in again, TSA, and get to your gate. All it takes is one little thing to go wrong, and you are not making your flight. And so much can go wrong with a lot of factors not being your fault.

I can see them missing their domestic flight after going through customs. The only time I flew internationally, I went through Philly and it was a haul going through customs, rechecking my bags, and getting to the gate. And that was before TSA. Someone like Jill who does not fly internationally can easily not give themselves enough time to make it through all the steps in between flights.

I don't think it would dawn on any of the Duggarlings that travel is a luxury especially the ones who are single and JB still pays all of their bills. They have disposable income from their various jobs and are choosing not to save for the future. Though I do question if JB would want his sons to be saving for the future. That would mean the boys were thinking of a life outside of his Umbrella of Control.

I was just rattling off some country artists who's existence in the canon of country music prove how wrong John is. Yeah, folk music is and has always been antithetical to John and those he supports.

I can see that being a feature if you live out in the boonies and have to traverse winding roads at night. But, one would think you would test all those settings at night.

I would start with pointing out the "leftist" roots of country music. Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson come to mind, so does Loretta Lynn singing "The Pill" on national TV.

I know that a few streamers have done weekly drops of episodes, and I do appreciate that. Rarely do I have the time to watch all 8 or 10 episodes of a show in one weekend, sorry Netflix. I honestly do not know how Netflix can truly gauge the success of a show in such a short period of time, two weeks after dropping all the episodes. Outside of critics and the perpetually online folk, no one has the time to watch the latest release in its entirety ever single weekend. Between work, family, friends, and housework, most people can only devote so much time a week to one streaming service. I know I have to plan out which weekend I will get around to catching a show on Netflix, and that weekend may be a month after the show initially dropped. I think Netflix based their data collection methods on how people were watching back in 2020 completely forgetting why we were all at home back then. Or certain juggernauts were dropped on the perfect weekend for thousands of Americans to watch--Bridgerton Season One and Squid Game come to mind. You cannot judge all of your original programming on how well those outliers did.

Yeah, the show really twisted the concept of mandatory reporter in order to make this episode happen. The therapist may have a duty to report, but reporting to Olivia after Olivia's session they way she did is not going to be proper procedure.

When you consume enough stories as books, movies, or TV shows, there really are not a lot of true spoilers anymore. It's easy to tell where the story is going, for me at least, that you can see when the story is going to twist and what that twist will be. I think the last time I was truly shocked was when I first watched Mad Men, but even then I should have seen Checkov's lawnmower coming and there were enough textual clues pointing towards some of the deaths.

Be careful what you wish for, or we could get Ben's brother cleaning up his SNL sketch or joining his brother and Tommy. I only like Krispy Kreme when that hot donut sign is lit. Not a huge fan of Dunkin's donuts, but their coffee is my favorite drive thru option.

The kid and the various NFL players were not actually rampaging through the market in Ghana. It was only a kid living in his own little world walking around his hometown and a dog that knows what's up. I thought the full commercial was cute, and I loved the glimpse of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah watching the kid from a balcony in one of his resplendent fits.

We also could find out that CT is really not allied with the "leftover" group and is a plant for Peter's Pals. From what I remember, CT has been flitting in and out of the various discussions and not an active participant in either. Appearing to be unaligned means both groups will fill you in.

Knowing what I know about Truman, I see him using his Swans the same way he is using Joe, and the same way he used Harper Lee and Carson McCullers. I can see the show exploring how the Swans thought they were somehow different than Harper and Carson.

Yeah, Phaedra's best play was choosing a Faithful in her alliance. No one is going to question her saving CT, and now a Faithful is on the hook. CT is now facing Trishelle's wrath, MJ is hurt no one picked her, etc. It's also better for the Traitors to have Peter get voted out instead of them murdering him. Phaedra is playing the long game here.

I honestly wish this season was Feud: Capote vs. Vidal. Both writers, both openly gay when homosexuality was technically illegal, both had a biting wit, both drunks, and both assholes. I'm finding this season unbalanced because three episodes in the Swans have not done anything to Truman to warrant what he did to them with that article.

The two of them keep on Forrest Gumping themselves through the challenges. It's hilarious to watch.

The longer this game goes on, the more I think Sheree and Kevin are somehow going to bumble into the finale and win it all. Don't ask me how that happens.

If you old picture is anything like the one I am currently stuck with, then you are not being shallow. I get to spend the next 6 years with an absolutely horrid ID photo because I was too tall for the camera. I'm still a bit salty that the wonderfully pleasant (please note my heavy sarcasm) DMV worker knew the camera was not at the correct angle for me, she even graciously took a second photograph, and refused to adjust the camera between takes.

This took me out of the episode. It's 1966, Lee is still married to her Polish Prince and Jackie is still grieving Jack and heavily leaning on his brother Robert. I know we all know Jackie will eventually "steal" Ari Onassis from Lee, but this line does not work in 1966. On another note, I would loved to have been an extra for this episode.

Yeah, he's going to get a visit by the US Marshalls very soon. I was waiting for them to show up at the courthouse.

I would have negotiated the same deal. His costumes are fabulous, and you can tell he's having a ball wearing them. His getup for the funeral procession needs to be in my closet like yesterday.

I know the show loves to do an episode long low-stakes b-plot and they are usually stupid, but this has to be one of the worst ever done. Once Cruz realizes Cap was invited to Sylvie's wedding, he should have known his invitation got lost. Having him spend the episode wondering why he was snubbed and working through that was just pointless.

I had the same thought. I know the show wanted me to feel for the mom going through her divorce and a custody battle, but her daughter could have burned the whole neighborhood down and killed somebody. She was a danger to others outside of their home, at that point your custody battle does not matter.

And Jill has enough adult children or close enough to adult children to leave the brood at home for a week. The parentification boat set sail twenty years ago now, no need to pretend the other Not Nurie whose name is escaping me at the moment can't take care of her sisters for a few days, and Philip, Tim, and Sammers can handle the other boys (are there other boys, I really can't keep track of all of Jill's brood nor do I want to take the time to actually research it).

I want to quip "not a very good one" after that episode of RHOA where she is representing Sheree and Sheree's ex-husband, Bob, schooled her in front of a judge. But, she also is a free woman while her ex-husband did time for fraud or is still doing time for fraud. I do remember Apollo and one of his co-conspirators were quite vocal about Phaedra knowing about Apollo's fraud and maybe even a part of it. That could very well be the chatter of guilty people upset that they were caught or there was not enough evidence to indict Phaedra. I will say that this is why having Phaedra on this show is so delicious. She is shady AF, and she also knows how to give a good sound byte.
