    Kyle needed to walk away, but I think she's afraid of what will happen when Brandi turns on Kim (and we ALL know she will).  It's not just that Kim will be hurt, it could really send her over the edge.  Plus, what has Kim blabbed about to Brandi, all of the family secrets - which will assuredly find their way into US Weekly or OK or the Star when Brandi finally cashes in those gems.

    I totally agree with this. I think Kyle is terrified that Kim is spilling ALL of the dirt to Brandi and she has no control over it. I'd be afraid of Brandi having that leverage as well.

     

    As much as Kyle annoys the f*ck out of me, Brandi is such a vile person, that it's impossible to support anything she says or does. Brandi is an evil bitch!

    I really wish that instead of sitting around with his head bowed while Bananas ranted at him, Zach would have said "I did it because you kept ordering me around to play your game for you, as if I were nothing but your pawn, not your alliance-mate."

    I wish Zach had said this as well. And I think he was mad at himself for not doing so, and that's why he lashed out at Jonna (among other reasons).

    Exile Island or whatever, is tailor made for Bananas; almost as if producers planned his early elimination all along. I have no doubt that he and Nany will be the team that comes back and ultimately makes the finals, if not winning the whole thing. And I kind of hate the idea of it.

    Oh well, it should be interesting to see the dynamics of the house and the strategy that plays out in the weeks before the exiled team comes back.

    The ages are confusing me. Brandon's the oldest, right? And he's 16? Jesus is a year younger, and in the same year as Hayley? So how did Hayley get to the campground by herself, when she isn't supposed to be old enough to drive yet? But it also seems like Mariana's quinceanera was a hundred years ago, so maybe they're 16 and Brandon is 17? Except they called him 16 I think an episode or so ago?

    I'm positive that Brandon is at least 17. He was 16 when the show first started and he is a senior in high school. The twins are 15. And Callie is 16 because she's three years older than Jude who is 13. Not sure why this information is in my brain, but there you go.

     

     

    For all that Lena and Stef are fiercely protective of their kids, they're surprisingly casual about other peoples'. On screen, they never asked about how and where Wyatt was living and how Hayley was getting back from this remote campsite, or even what was going on with Callie's bio-sister.

    Boy did this bug me last night in regards to Hayley. Jesus breaks up with her and she takes off (presumably for home) and Stef/Lena just casually take Jesus' word that Hayley was going back and that her mom was home. Ohhhkay, but they're not going to call Hayley's mom and check? And don't get me started about Wyatt. This boy was in their lives, and like people have said, Lena is the vice-principal at his school; why aren't they more concerned?!

     

    But overall I really enjoyed last night's episode. Stef and Lena continue to have one of the best marriages portrayed on television.

  4. Damn Drogo, way to bring me to my knees with that CT/Diem gif. TEARS!

     

    I put watching this episode off until last night when I knew I could have a full-on weep fest and not disturb anyone but my cat. So damn sad. 

  5. For once Brandon didn't bug me. He actually handled Callie perfectly, I thought. 

    Sophia scares me you guys. And I know it's dumb, I got ridiculously excited seeing Wyatt in the previews for the next episode. Alex Saxon's hair for president!

  6. You guys? This Diem stuff is KILLING ME. I burst into tears when she said that she thought the stomach pains were from something she ate. Heartbreaking.

     

    No matter how much of an ass he is, I just can't stop loving Zach. I know it's a problem.

    Strangely, Agustin didn't bother me at all this episode (which is weird since he annoyed me so much last season). I loved when he admitted that he was a mediocre artist and that it was better for the world that he gave up on his art. Finally, some self-awareness.

    Agreed! I was so pleasantly surprised how much I liked Agustin. 

     

    I'm very worried for Patrick's heart...it's going to get smooshed one way or another with this whole Kevin thing.

    And for good measure, screw you Men's Wearhouse for showing multiple commercials, all with heterosexual wedding couples.  Because apparently gay men don't get married and need clothes.

    This advertisement, and its tone-deaf homophobic tones made me so so angry.

     

    I pretty much watched this show with my mouth hanging open in shock for the entire 60 minutes. It just left me feeling incredibly sad for everyone involved. Pret and Megan seem like they maybe have the best shot of coming out this whole thing without being too damaged, and maybe the couple who've been married for 20+ years. Did anyone notice if they made mention or showed any photos of that long-married couple having kids? They may be empty-nesters.

     

    I'm actually relieved to find out that this mess isn't a series. I don't think I could handle the sadness.

    As long as Quinn is okay, I don't dare who else dies. Save Quinn!

    Completely agree! I think that killing off Carrie and Saul (as much as I love Saul) is the right thing to do, and while I'm sure they're going to have them live, I wish they'd have some guts to end their lives in this way.

     

    I think it would be a much more satisfying end to this season to have Quinn (and maybe even Lockhart!) go all rogue-agent in the embassy against Haqquani and his men.

  10. Fellow anglophile here!

    I thought the casting was brilliant. But that's about all the compliments I can give regarding this mini-series.

    Eh, that's not exactly right. I thought the acting was great; everyone did well with the story they were given.

    I guess I wish I hadn't read the book (which I loved) first. The writers for the mini-series changed SO MANY THINGS.

    I'm not talking about just cuts to make it fit into a 3-4 hour series; I don't care about the fact that they cut out most of the Jane stuff and that we had no Bingley; it was good that they made Alveston, Wickham's lawyer and cut out the nonsense with the priest.

    My problems were the HUGE changes they made with the main characters in terms of manner, temperament, actions, and feelings.

    Darcy and Elizabeth don't fight in PD James' book. They're loving and supporting of each other. Colonel Fitzwilliam was made out to be way more of an asshole in the miniseries than he was in the book. Also, in the book Georgiana does not accept his proposal! There is no proposal; Fitzwilliam just hints that he wants to make one.

    Another big problem I had with the miniseries was that Elizabeth pretty much solves all aspects of the mystery single-handedly. Again, if I watched this without having read the book, I think I probably would've enjoyed this part. I love Anna Maxwell Martin, and it felt like they were working off of the Bletchley Circle success and deciding to put Elizabeth's character in the center of things, which, fine. But her taking Will Bidwell's confession, going to the judge, and then running through the crowd and up onto the excution platform to stop Wickham's hanging? Are you kidding me?! So ridiculous.

    If they want Elizabeth and Darcy running around solving mysteries "McMillan & Wife" style, they should have adapted one of Carrie Bebris' awesome 'Mr. and Mrs. Darcy Mystery' books instead. I'm totally on board for that to happen - those books are great and completely perfect for something like this.

    David has some nerve coming into Nolan's house like that. "His money" didn't pay for Nolan's house. He invested what is probably the hedge fund executive equivalent of $5 and from there Nolan's entrepreneurial genius did all the rest.

    Thank you. Nolan should've said, "Hey asshole, if you want to be repaid back your initial investment I can make that happen, but slow your roll on all of this other bullshit."

     

    I really need all of these morons to get hit with a pillowcase filled with oranges. Also the writing on this show, never strong, has gone completely off the rails.

    And yet...I'm still watching, so who's the sucker?

    So she's willing to do anything, sacrifice any operation, to save Brody, even just to clear his name, but she'll let Saul be murdered. She'll even cause his death.

    Carrie is irredeemable.

    Yep. That's pretty much how I felt after watching this episode. Right from jump this season, Carrie has been insufferable and I guess we're supposed to hate her? However, I care about everyone else around her so much that I keep watching this train wreck.

     

    I swear, if Saul or Quinn dies...

  13. I loved the pilot, but then again I'm a sucker for anything that has Eliza Coupe or Maria Bamford in it. But I am seriously devastated to learn that "Playing House" probably won't get renewed. WHY? God! USA Network sucks!

    anyone else think they really need to work on making Ken Marino's character more interesting? Ken is such a funny guy but he's essentially playing the no-personality straightman so far, which seems like a waste of Marino. I get that the show is still working out the kinks, but I hope they find a funny hook for his character eventually.

    Totally agree! Ken Marino/Jake is so far the weak link for me. Last night's ep was my first, and I felt the same afterwards as I did when I watched "Happy Endings" for the first time - hopeful, but a little weary. "HE" completely surpassed my expectations and I'm hoping this does as well. 

    And it can't be said enough - the Soup song was effin fantastic.

  15. I really miss the days when this show occasionally had the photographers as guest judges so that they could provide important input regarding how the shoot went. Mirjana and probably Lennox would have gotten super low scores.

    I loved how Kelly criticized Shei's "look" as looking like a wig, as if the poor girl had any fucking control of it. TYRA chose her dumb hair style, REMEMBER?!

  16. How are fucking Keith and Adam still on this damn show?

     

    So I see Tyra hasn't learned her lesson vis a vis Native American headdresses.  At least they weren't in blackface this time, though, so  . . . progress?

     

    Tyra is the fucking worst, guys. Speaking of...

     

     

    I honestly don't trust Tyra enough to accept the results at face value.

     

    I don't trust Tyra either. I thought that whole segment with her and the DNA guy in the fortune teller tent was bogus and 100% FAKE. 

     

    The missing one percent is that one of her ancestors is literally a forehead.

     

    This made me laugh for hours!

     

    Will is now the only person I care about on this show.
