    Liv diving under the car and shooting around under there was practically satire. Maybe the mechanic is (or looks) young but FFS what's up with Liv derisively telling him he looks too young to drive and just being like "you can't possibly know how to do your job."

    Well the mechanic was a man. Just imagine Liv saying that same exact line to a female tech who looks young. She’d probably congratulate her for being so far  along in her career at a young age.

    Fin: “It’s not about the victims, it’s all about you, Liv!” Most accurate line of the season. I laughed.

    Finally an interesting case with a killer unlike others we’ve seen, and the show still manages to ruin it with St Olivia worship.

  2. Yeah I hate the chartered flights. It made sense during Covid but it really saps so much of the drama from the race. Seeing teams have to figure out on their own how to best get from place to place and choosing between various flights and airlines was always one of my favorite parts. Without the airport drama the show can be quite boring.

    Don’t they normally start with 11 teams? I guess they have 13 this time because there aren’t any non-elimination legs.

    BULLSHIT. Anthony Hopkins had less screen time than Lily in Silence of the Lambs and he STILL won Best Actor that year!!!!!

    Anthony Hopkins winning over 30 years ago has no relevance to who won this year. The voting body is different, there are more international members, and the movies and performances are different.

    I don't like putting my jacket on the back of the chair, but that is where the jacket goes. I don't see that it would be in the guys space as he's sitting in the chair. 

    Not in theaters. I’ve never seen anyone drape a coat over the back in a theater like that. It would be in the way of the persons legroom. You either sit on it, put it on your lap, or under the seat.

    I’m now reading in Deadline about all of the In Memoriam omissions.  There were many that I didn’t think of, besides dear Treat.  Norman Lear, Burt Young, Cormac McCarthy, Frederick Forrest, Lance Reddick who’s been mentioned here.  And they’re saying that Treat was in that small print of names that appeared in the big circle at the end of the Memoriam.  The consensus is that the whole thing was a massive fail.  

    Did Norman Lear do movies? I think of him as a TV person. Treat Williams and Lance Reddick were some of the names I saw in the big list at the end. I also caught Ron Cephas Jones, Sinead O’Connor and Suzanne Sommers. It went off the screen too fast before I could read the others. (I had no problems reading the names during the montage though.)

    eta: just watched it again and Norman Lear was also in the big list at the end.

    I don’t know what Pacino was doing. I really wish they would stop bringing out the octogenarians to announce the Best Picture. It is always awkward. He made it so anti-climactic, you could tell the audience wasn’t sure how to respond after he said “My eyes see Oppenheimer.” There were several beats before anyone clapped or the theme music started.

  6. So how did Frank actually die? Did I miss what they said his cause of death was? Blood loss from the stab wounds? Didn’t they say he only died 24 hours after Joey Bishop? So he wouldn’t have starve to death that quickly, and if he died that fast why did he resort to eating maggots from a dead body? Did the wife know he was still alive when she walled him up and how did she do such a professional job of installing the walls? Everything happened over a weekend right? Not a whole week?

    Really this whole case made no sense.

  7. Oh Emily! Dammit you had it! You just needed to pay attention to the clue! Prussian Blue was so obvious with the mention of “Germany.” 😔
    Though since Yogesh was the only one to get FJ he probably would have won anyway but it would at least have been a competition.

  8. I knew Flower didn’t really get sucked off! It’s the same as every show, unless you see the death/body of a main character, it’s never real.

    That well in the creepy woods looked straight out of The Ring.

    This was one of the funniest episodes, I was laughing so much! I doubt Carol will stick around that long, a little of that character goes a long way, but it’s fun to have some new blood in the cast for a bit.

    He didn't do it tonight, though, so if you didn't remember from their previous games, there was nothing to put it fresh in the mind.

    He did, when reading Deb’s FJ answer he said “And their response was-“

    I knew FJ was referring to the end of slavery but I couldn’t remember the year. I said 1965. At least I was on the right track.

  10. Yay Ben! He can hopefully take care of Yogesh!

    I shocked myself by actually guessing FJ right! All thanks to “Oppenheimer.” It opens with a quote about Prometheus bringing fire from the Gods, and with the book being called “American Prometheus” I guessed “Promethium” even though I have never actually heard of that element before!

  11. I was rooting for Ike just because I wanted the Celebrity winner to really be a legit competitor and was hoping the other two wouldn’t crush him. Very cool that he won! And on (IMO) a not-easy FJ! I didn’t even have any inkling of a guess for that one.

  12. If anyone has seen the new Oscar-nominated German film “The Teacher’s Lounge” there is a scene where the teacher leads her class in a primal scream yelling session.


    I was wondering how both Melissa and Janine knew to refer to the sub as “they” after only seeing the sub teaching for a few seconds and never seeing their name or “Mx.” written anywhere until the end.

    DAE wonder why he thought he'd die jumping into the river from a ledge which was around two feet from the water? Maybe if he couldn't swim but that's not a suicide leap.

    There's no way that a trained LEO is just going to let a suicidal man walk away. He was intending to kill himself but as long as he says he's fine, Jalen just shrugs and lets him go?

    The kid's mom, aunt's sister, and suspect's wife died yesterday and they're not planning a funeral or grieving or even not going to school? They make her death sound like an inconvenience. 

     

    I was thinking the exact same thing re: the height! Diving boards are higher than what he was planning on jumping from. 
     

    And there is no way that “I was going to kill myself but I’m fine now! Bye!” would really fly. He would have detained him for his own protection and called an ambulance.

    The kid was out of school, that’s why they went to the mom’s apartment.

    I was really hoping Juveria would win! She was so dominant but then Luigi got super lucky with both those big DD bets so congrats to him.

  15. Well damn.

    The complete non-hugging or congratulatory behavior at the end was very noticeable after the pleasantries  shown by every other ToC contestant the past few days. Yogesh looked like he wanted nothing to do with the other two and kinda waved them away.

  16. Oh god this was garbage. Mariska has turned this show into trash with all the self-worship she forces on it.

    Of course a whole squad of police arrive at the perp’s house, search inside and say “There is nothing inside, no one’s here!” just so Olivia can be all “I need to see for myself! Oh look she’s right here down these open stairs in this not-at-all hidden basement room!” 🙄 Only the magic of Saint Olivia can think to look in the basement.

  17. Even after Ken’s explanation I still didn’t understand the clue or answer. Clearly it wasn’t the previous one, and it couldn’t have been Hillary because the clue said “He,” and then I was totally confused. I said McCain just to have something.

  18. The Wordle bits were really funny. But centering so much of the episode around puppies being killed by coyotes is simply not amusing. I didn’t find any comedy in that at all, especially Larry and Jeff acting like sociopaths while we have to hear the sounds of a dog being killed. Who thinks this stuff is funny?

  19. They way they were romanticizing Navarro’s longing to commit suicide as some kind of celebrated Native ritual to meet with her ancestors was pretty gross, especially with her being so upset when her sister killer herself earlier. 
     

    I was glad we finally did get some kind of real-world explanation for the murders, but this season was terrible. The creators were much more focused on atmosphere than in telling a coherent story. “Some things have no answers” is not clever, it’s a lazy way of writing when you don’t actually know what to say. It’s better than season 2, but that’s hardly a compliment.

    Also, this show absolutely does not deserve to be nominated for any awards for Hair and Makeup.  Not because the hair and makeup they've done has been bad, but because of the seemingly conscious decision of I have to assume Issa Lopez to have zero sign of Navarro's beatdown in episode 5.  I gave them some benefit of the doubt last episode because Navarro had her beanie on and I thought, "maybe that's covering the serious cuts," even though there was very little swelling and bruising shown.  But in episode 5, Navarro looks totally normal even without the beanie.  People have tiny whiteheads that make longer and more obvious appearances than Navarro's fight wounds. 

    Episode 4 took place on Dec 24, Episode 5 was on Dec 31.

    That's fine, but slab avalanches don't happen IN FLAT AREAS, which is clearly where the scientists were found. Also, like other avalanches, there would have been plenty of obvious recent evidence that an AVALANCHE had just happened; they even have a geology teacher to help with that. Also, an avalanche would NOT have resulted in the corpsicle; the bodies would have been strewn AWAY from each other, not intertwined like they were playing Arctic Twister. Finally, did the victims have time to REMOVE AND CAREFULLY FOLD THEIR CLOTHES as the avalanche approached?

    I’m all-capping here because I'm getting frustrated with this show's writers not doing their one job: Make me suspend my disbelief. It's just lazy, and I guess they're counting on us not paying attention...to a crime mystery story. <sigh>

    I mean... it's pretty obvious we aren't supposed to take that explanation as true and that what actually happened will be revealed in the finale.

  21. Instaget FJ for me. I didn’t even see the part about years or anniversary, just “Roman numeral” + anti-discrimination and immediately thought “Title IX.” I don’t know of any other act that is referred to by Roman numerals.

    Is anyone who would pay those prices toting a baloney sandwich and a bag of Doritos for lunch? I don't seem them taking their lunch to work like that.

    Exactly.

    This is the main reason why the most recent seasons of this show have sucked so bad. Practically every product seems to be targeting the upper-middle class, or just flat-out wealthy, instead of regular people. It's not fun watches pitches for t-shirts that are $100, or bags that are $300. Let's see some clever, useful products that everyday people can actually afford.

    That bodysuit seemed like a really bad idea to me. Because what female soldiers really want to do is strip naked every time they have to use the bathroom. WTF? Pants are practical for a reason.

    I didn't understand the clue at all.  I have, however, been sick since last week so I'm sure that's why.  Absolutely the only reason.  😲

    The category was "13-letter words" so the word they were looking for was "International." The full name of airport is John F Kennedy International, whereas LGA is just LaGuardia as they don't fly internationally.
