Danielle is a garbage person. I don't care one way or the other about Carolyn, but it's clear that her oddness is genuine . And honestly, it's so pronounced that I wouldn't be surprised if it has a medical explanation because there's quirky and then there's Carolyn. For Danielle to use it against her and claim it's an act to manipulate people is so dirty. I'm not counting on it, but I hope Britney turns on Danielle and gets her banished next week. Though any way that Danielle goes out is okay with me; I just don't want her to see a dime. I'm kind of hoping for an Ivar win at this point because he really doesn't care about any of it. He'd just go, "oh, I won, did I? Lovely." Though I guess he has to share it, so I'd be happy to see Tom's crazy ass stumble into the win as well just because him winning would annoy the other players the most.

A lawyer is required to avoid not just actual impropriety but also the appearance of impropriety. Freddy should have recused just on the basis of having known John. I mean, being the actual murderer is the real conflict, but he wouldn't want to give that as a reason when disqualifying himself from the case.

That was making me insane. I was expecting him to keel over. Just seeing the previews tipped me off that it was going to be Freddy and not Keenan what with the dramatic voiceover, "the killer is closer than they think!" and cut to a close-up of Freddy's twitchy face. But this outcome makes less sense than if it were Keenan. Freddy is apparently a psychopath, but he managed to control himself for twenty years? Also how does the identity theft and secret house in John's name factor in? Why would Freddy be paying a mortgage and credit card bills in John's name all that time? That part wouldn't make a ton of sense even if it were Keenan, but at least we could fanwank it where it was some kind of elaborate scam and he was using his wife's money for the bills. I go back and forth on Gina Rodriguez. When Will whispered to Marion there was a killer in the building, she overacted a comically exaggerated "whaaaat? face. But then when she was cowering in the conference room and begging Angie to stay with her, she was pretty convincing. So she might end up being an okay addition to the cast, but I'm still not crazy about her and Will as a couple.

Yeah, this episode was a dud. Will and Marion: nope. Also gaaah. I'm also pretty done with Sunny. I know we were giving her some slack because she's a kid and recently traumatized, but that's not what I'm seeing with her anymore. She's rude and ungrateful, and those seem like burned-in character traits with her, not just stress reactions. As much as I would have liked for Amanda to have the chance to be the mom that she didn't get to be with Will, Sunny isn't the one. The guy who killed his best friend so he could have the wife sure folded quickly lol. Will: "okay, so ..." Guy: "I DID IT! I CONFESS." That murder was a clunky set-up for the Rafael story and Will seeing the watch, and I'm hoping it's all a fakeout because I like Rafael and Will needs to have a disreputable friend who can help him out with a case every once in a while. Also inept is the John story, and I agree that the real serial rapist/killer/freak is obvious. But I don't even think he's a real serial killer because they generally don't wait 20 years between murders. He's just an identity thief who's too dumb to figure out a less grisly way to pin it all on John.

They haven't done it for at least a couple of seasons and I don't think even EW had it last year. I usually try to pull it up the cast bios early in the season when I'm still learning names but last season I ended up looking at Parade Magazine's page, which I hate because it has even more ads than Primetimer.

She didn't seem older to me. She was hobbling because of the leg injury and she was confused after the head injury, but I wasn't getting an old lady vibe off her at any point.

I like Rob so I'm sorry he's not staying a while (I never expect him to win anything anymore because the target on him is way too big), but I will continue to watch just because I really want to see Danielle lose. Tom's face was less crazy than usual, which was disappointing, but Britney's absolute look of disgust as Ivar sipped his breakfast tea made up for it.

Bluebell! ❤️ I didn't know that was her real name.

Season 45's Drew Basile is in the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions Semifinals, which start tonight, although I think he won't be on until tomorrow. He was very impressive in the regular game, so it will be interesting to see how he does against stiffer competition.

Gruesome title card. Did not enjoy seeing our guy's name in blood. I agree the tactical team was moving way too slowly. For a minute there, I thought Evelyn was going to end up dying in this episode, which would account for the viewer discretion warning at the beginning. Just the fact that I had time to think about that while she was being strangled means it took too long to save her. I liked that they had Will and Angie in scenes together but not directly interacting. I don't think they even spoke to each other last night. It's playing out realistically, that these two are working together but are still both in avoidance mode. Their scenes are not being overwritten with a bunch of melodrama and awkward longing looks, which is nice.

Tom eating like a feral dog was my favorite scene.

"Polaski, is this man bothering you?" I'm sorry, but when did Ormewood become completely adorable? I do think Angie feels sorry and guilty for what she did, but she's also got that cop mentality where they believe that cops are always loyal to each other no matter what. Add in that she and Will were thinking marriage and family and it feels even more like a betrayal to her. That said, I was getting pretty impatient with her last night with her putting it ALL on Will. She trusted Ormewood more than she trusted Will when Crystal killed her mom's boyfriend and it all spiraled after that. I don't hate her. She's wrong here, but it feels true to the story/character. I'm beginning to see what people mean about Gina Rodriguez. She has a very cutesy acting style that doesn't suit her character. It was hilarious when she came out of Will's office with his shirt styled in a way that we were obviously supposed to think was sexy, but looked to me more like a DeLorean with the doors open. Dog getting a blowout was very cute, but it in no way makes up for the absence of Betty.

I already kind of love this episode just for the title alone.

lol. At least he knows. In an earlier episode someone said he looked upset or worried and he said something like, "no, my face is just like this."
