This really felt like a series finale to me, but I heard they’re coming back for another one. Either way, in my mind, I’d love to see Gideon and Eli working side by side to fix up May-May’s tiny church in the woods together. Eli still has some good preachin’ left in him to give - as well as mentoring. But I think he’s sick of all the slick and shiny stuff. Gideon, after his trip to Haiti, has also shown a desire for spirit more than success. I think both of them would thrive with a tiny flock of non-militia people - hopefully without snakes, as well.

I have to admit, Ivy bugged me a bit at the start of the season. Also, I worried about her after that first or second episode when she was so upset. But man, she has really come into her own the last few weeks. She makes me laugh more than any of the others. She’s got this really dry sense of humor that is just coming through and I am here for it. She was killing me with the WWE challenge. Also, if I got nailed in the forehead with a baking sheet by a wrestler 5x taller than me, I would have reacted way more dramatically than she did. She just sort of blinked at him, laughed, and kept on rolling. Liya might be more consistent, but man, I am loving Ivy lately.

Oh man, I said this when I first saw him! Robert Downey Jr. with Eddie Van Halen hair!!! Both my children stared at me like I was crazy. Thank you so much for seeing it!

Watching Jason now not let Kylen hold her own damn baby, while his parents so obviously defer to him on all things, is so completely terrifying to me.

Oh man, Yve with the profoundly special needs child has somehow acquired another one. “I expected breakfast in bed. Usually my mother prepares my breakfast and I expected Yve to do the same.” I just can’t.

Man, I went from loving Colby to thinking he was a sociopath. Fascinating.

Surprisingly, my favorite was Marshawn Lynch. I never would have expected him to go all in with the improv. The one-way mirror scene had me gasping for breath.

“I have shapes to grade,” or whatever Barbara said made me laugh so hard. I always feel so ungrateful saying this, but no, I don’t usually want someone’s old coloring books after their children have used them. As a teacher, yes, I often find myself using my own personal funds to buy things for my students and classroom. But I am fairly picky when it comes to hand-me-down items. Also, the district gets pretty upset if a kid gets hurt on a non-approved piece of furniture.

Yep - year 30 now. Definitely related to both Janine and Barbara. I’ve had the kids I let sleep in class - for a variety of reasons. Yes, the principal was a bit over the top, but I definitely have had my share of principals who kept their jobs longer than they should have and who did questionable things with building funds.

Dear god, between José last week wanting to brush her teeth, and this week being determined to wear her down enough that he will soon be handfeeding her and controlling her financially, I am worried she will be kneeling under the table with a collar and choke chain next week. I’m all for power exchange dynamics - but only when all parties are consenting and have agreed on safe words.

No, because I totally agree! He’s not a dog that jumped out of a car on a cross-country trip and will be unable to find his way to shelter or home. The previews of them hysterically navigating the mean streets of Missoula, Maine/Massachusetts/Missouri in search of their underclad runaway castmate were just sad. If they truly believe his life was in jeopardy due to his decision to run away in a “blizzard,” then clearly he does not have the mental capacity to sign a contract for any of the shows he does or the physical wherewithal to be on The Challenge where just getting breakfast is more physically taxing than jogging down a residential street in less than an inch of snow.

I'm still thinking Tara Lipinski for Cotton Candy. Maybe I just want it to be Tara Lipinski...

This show has been fabulous for our family right now - guaranteed to make all of us laugh so damn hard. We’re on Season 7 and, honestly, I’ve loved every group. There was one I thought wasn’t quite as magical of a combination, but it was still entertaining and the next season was right back to a great blend again. And, honestly, it could have been me - things are crazy right now and that can color my perception, you know? But anyway, this show is great.

Omg - Anna’s wedding drove me crazy. Why couldn’t they just have swung by the courthouse and gotten legally married on the way home from the airport - after getting Mursel a snack? The time pressure was ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that he was jet-lagged, there were family issues, and wild amounts of stress. Just handle the legalities to buy some time, then they could have had a more relaxed wedding with the bees a few days later.

Omg - the fire! I was legit freaking out about the fire. How does that even happen? And they just stood there laughing about it! Thank god someone on the crew intervened before the tank blew - taking off the deck and Candace and Kortni with it. In Season 1, I liked Gus. I can’t stand him now. And yes, Jeremiah should have paid for his dinner - but Gus shouldn’t have ordered everything on the menu. I think Gus was wrong to start with there. At that point, I think Jeremiah should have said, “That’s bullshit. It was teams, so our team is gonna pay for your team,” and averaged it out. The whole fight to start with was because Gus was acting a jealous, self-centered fool and NO ONE called him on it. Why Kurt and Kodi threw all their support and time at Gus is weird and made me feel sorry for isolated Jeremiah. No one wants to be the kid who doesn’t get a seat at the lunch table. But also - holy shit, Jeremiah’s emotions are cycling hard. Aimee needs to take him to her anger management class. Actually, Aimee’s callbacks to her anger management class are about the only thing I’ve enjoyed this season. But please stop with the personification of your lady garden, Aimee. If I never hear about your cookie again, it will still be too soon.
