I would be ok if it were Leslie. I liked her and she’d be a very different personality than a Theresa type. I think Gary turned out to be such a loser/liar, and whomever becomes the GB, Leslie or not, will be able to pick from a crop of what I hope are sincere older men.

I hope you’re right. I can definitely see a story arc where he is in fact Mocha Joe, conning Larry to plead guilty so he goes to a Southern jail and Mocha Joe gets his revenge. Then Larry does indeed wind up in a jail cell, as in the real Larry David wants to show he’s unrepentant about the unpopular Seinfeld finale. To me that would all be lazy writing and not the way I’d like the show to end.

Similar to Austin’s musing about he and Dee being the next Rob and Amber, we also had in this episode Drew and Austin imagining themselves as one of the greatest duos in Survivor history. But Austin blew that up twice. Telling Dee about the Julie vote which of course kept Julie in, and then saying he didn’t need a souvenir and nonchalantly handing his idol to Jeff. If Austin had instead given it to Drew, even though Austin didn’t know he was in trouble, would’ve saved Drew. So if I were Drew my anger would be most directed at Austin. The duo fell apart due to Austin’s naïveté and his blind spot where Dee is concerned. Plus, omitting Drew from the reward when they are supposed to be besties…Drew was already so upset at being left behind to “babysit.” I’m not a Drew fan but from his perspective I’d think he’d feel most hurt by Austin, even if it was unintentional on Austin’s part. Dee is an extremely savvy player. I feel bad for Jake as he hasn’t gotten his footing this whole time, but that’s not a way to win this game.

I’ve seen every SNL since the first season. Sometimes something is funny to me, sometimes something is not. Like it is for everyone. But some things really are not to joke about; no amount of comedy can make them ok. One of them is taking a very real problem like violence against Jews and turning it around so that the “joke” is on one of the few people who is trying to get this under control. The other is the other very real problem of old people getting pranked. I can never find those funny. There’s too much else to make fun of, nobody has to minimize terrorism or painful things harming the elderly. I do like Adam Driver and he inhabits all his roles very well, but the writing was subpar, as it often is.

I’m in this age group but haven’t liked Gerry from the start. I had no idea his story was anything other than what he claimed, but he just wouldn’t be my type. Too corny and small town midwestern for me (I do apologize to those here from that area). I was born and have lived my entire life in NYC and it’s just a different culture, I guess. I did believe as I was told, though—-a man slightly abashed at going on a reality show, but desperate to start over again since he was still mourning his wife. You know, hadn’t dated at all since she passed. I liked Leslie. I thought Gerry was choosing between excitement and comfort and chose comfort. Now I cannot stand him! “I meant it when I said it” is for 17- year old horny boys, not an older man with life experience. Not a man with daughters and granddaughters. Would he appreciate them being jerked around by a guy with a paltry cover story? What would have been the problem if, as some of you have said, his story was the truth and he went with that?

I noticed this as well….Austin was physically leaning into Dee from the outset of this episode. Every time he glanced at her, it was with hearts in his eyes. Kendra had a throwaway comment that those two are in love, but it is entirely likely that Dee senses he’s smitten and is just taking advantage of that. Or not. The most stupefying moment for me personally is that I, a Math dunce, immediately saw the logic solve. I don’t know how.

I think it is telling that Bruce did not offer his immunity necklace to Jake. The votes were in, so nobody would have voted for Bruce and he couldn’t keep the necklace once there’s a new immunity challenge. So he wouldn’t have jeopardized himself at all. if I were Jake I would definitely be doubting my alliance now with Bruce.

We don’t talk about Bruno!!!!!!!

I appreciated Pete’s opening remarks. Other than that, I really didn’t find anything very funny. It felt like maybe the writers were still on strike. I’m sure they need time to hit their stride. I did like PDD. And definitely Pete’s long fingers were just part of the alien costuming.

I hope not. I’m a woman in my 60s and I really don’t want to see any of them on Bachelor in Paradise-I.C.U Edition.

I stopped watching with the pollution that was Tyra. Goodbye and good riddance. These two hosts are much better, but I felt that Julianne was yelling at me all night. She’ll find her footing as a host, which could never be said about Tyra and her version of the show , which essentially was Tyra Banks modeling clothes and oh yeah, some people are also going to be dancing.

Just started watching. I hadn’t heard of this show before, but I think they do a phenomenal job of showing Jesus as a man of his time, particularly a Jewish man. Very well-acted and with high production values

LOL I can definitely see that! I’m a divorced senior who would NEVER go on a reality show. As far as him being the first pick for the Golden Bachelor, well who knows who else applied? He’s tall, slim, has his hair. Those are all great. I do think I see someone who was a tomcat when he was young. Just something, I don’t know why. I haven’t read anything about him at all, but I’m looking forward to the show.

I hope, hope, hope Aaron is not the next bachelor. He’s far too gloomy a presence to carry the show. It’s possible that they filmed this out of order, because I imagine they wouldn’t have flown Aaron back unless they knew Charity wouldn’t have the requisite three men still standing. I can see Joey carrying the show because he’s more upbeat, and he’s already “let down his walls” by saying he is sometimes insecure etc. That’s Bachelor Gold. Dotun and Charity I can definitely see as a real couple, but I can’t picture them getting married too soon. He seems too level-headed to do that, though I can see him proposing.

Exactly. I need to see more from you—-take off your clothes. The guy is TELLING her that he’s a player who’s gonna play, and she was aching to get him to say SOMETHING so she could go ahead with the overnight. Glad she kicked him to the curb. Ok, so she’s IN love with Joey and IN love with Dotun. From here it looks like she’s more relaxed and herself with Dotun, so if Joey’s the Bachelor, I’m ok with it. Poor acting on Charity and Aaron’s part, both, with her acting so astonished that he’s there and him just “choosing” to go all the way to Fiji and happening upon her at the pool.

I like Joey. It would be the most fun thing to marry him and go off to live a tennis life in Hawaii. I think Charity is most comfortable with Dotun, though. I would be happy if Joey is the Bachelor, because I do think Uncle Joe made Charity doubt Joey’s character and she won’t choose him. BUT, while I do really like Joey, I can see an inkling of what his uncle said. Just a tinge of someone used to pleasing his customers, so a bit of a salesman vibe, a fragment of “What can I do to get you to buy this car today?” Just a fraction though, I still like Joey a lot but maybe his uncle knows him better than I do! :)

I think Brayden is here for the joke, the exposure, and all the other wrong reasons. He’s not planning to get engaged at the end, meanwhile Charity is here for an engagement, her HUSBAND IS IN THIS ROOM, she finds out from trustworthy Aaron that Brayden doesn’t want to get engaged. She does all the stürm und drang about ripping off his rose, never been done before but she’s willing, and lo and behold, she keeps Brayden anyway. To me that makes her an idiot. What would she tell a client in therapy who continually makes the same mistakes? Warwick——well, sure, we always wear a tux and faux fur to an amusement park! But him yawning and dozing off in the reject vehicle was pretty amusing.

It’s always so exasperating when someone dressed as Alicia was is considered worthy of judging a fashion competition. I question her taste level! (Though Heidi might have liked it).

I wish they’d redo a challenge from long, long ago. I liked YEARS ago when Jeff would give them a multiple choice “test” regarding things they should have observed in their environment and about each other. They had answer blocks that they used to show their answers, a b c d. That kind of challenge removes the advantage for those who are younger or more physically fit. Level playing ground without climbing, untying, digging, enduring and all the other stuff that is perpetually done in challenges nowadays.

You’re right, Evette. I see it on the DVR. I guess it just felt finale-ish!

I confess I wasn’t paying attention to the song. The only song I know called High Hopes is this one, but I have no idea if this was what you were referencing or not. I guess this was the last episode on Fox? I don’t know if I’ll bother to follow the show to wherever it’s going. I think I’m a party of one, but I do not at all care for Angela Bassett’s acting in this show. I know she’s a big time star, but on this show specifically, it’s like she spits out every line. OK, so I did hear Love is in the Air playing when Eddie reencountered Marisol, so that seems fairly obvious. Same with Kameron and Buck. Only question is will she and Connor divorce and she and Buck become a couple, or will this just be a joint custody thing. One way or the other, Buck will be the father and not just the sperm donor. Methinks. Just kind of tired of the show.

I don’t know. These may have been real people but I think Erika came on the show to try to get customers for her makeup and jewelry business. The camera lingered a long time on her berserk fingernails when she was showing Jermaine’s texts to Nev and Kamie. And of course she wore her jewelry very prominently throughout the show.

I hate when Dateline does this, and they do it all the time. There is no reason to mention a trivial detail about one pall bearer unless it’s a Chekov’s Gun clue. Then they did it again when they specifically mentioned that Anthony erected the cross. So all through the first hour and a half it’s just a waiting game until they get around to telling us Anthony was the prime suspect. I liked the mother and have no qualms about her seeking justice for her daughter. I do side-eye Lace, though. I don’t think she murdered Courtney but she certainly knew a lot more than she was willing to say. I imagine anyone who is innocent and takes a polygraph would react emotionally, but pulling the machine off is definitely telling.

So Nev and Kamie were catfished by this reality trio who just wanted to be on TV and publicize their act. What does Catfish do but air the show and give them what they want. When Max was there the show was more enjoyable. They must be having a hard time nowadays getting people on the show who really are being tricked by someone . I’ve always hated the affectation of Max, Kamie or any guest cohost holding onto their little camera—- for what earthly reason? I like Nev, I like Kamie and I really liked Max, but the only one getting Catfished now is the show.

The Resident is officially cancelled by Fox. Matt moving on to American Horror Story. I love him but won’t watch that show. I am sad about it because I enjoyed the show and love several of the actors. And didn’t get to see enough of Ian Anthony Dale!
