4Sibes Redux

This is a rare episode that liked everyone. Nice to see a supportive family.

I always thought their weight flamethrowers added weren’t worth it. But I’m guessing on that. Personally I would rather have a self righting capability or the ability to operate upside down.

My years of observing people like Angela has led me to believe that they think their behavior is the normal ones. I think it’s because they behave like their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc always have. The rest of us are too quiet to be noticed by Angela and her ilk.

I guess I’m a prude. I don’t think it’s in anyone’s best interest to hear Angela sort of say the word “clitorus.”

Just because Golden Retrievers were mentioned

The timing of this episode really brought home how although some things have changed, we still have a long way to go.

This show has gotten me on a Ford kick. I was looking at photos on Getty and found this picture of Betty Ford and Nancy Howe. It was labeled as “Photo Credit: National Archives. Photograph of First Lady Betty Ford and Her Secretary Nancy Howe Dressing a Skeleton for Halloween in the President’s Chair in His Private Study on the Second Floor of the White House, 10/30/1974,Series: Gerald R. Ford White House Photographs, 08/09/1974 – 01/20/1977.”

I still watch the show because its “rhythm” lulls me to sleep at night.

Me neither.

The Betty Ford scenes got to me. I wish I’d been a bit older to appreciate her during her heydays.

I would have liked clarification on if the woman leading the dance class was supposed to be Martha Graham. If they gave this information, I missed it.

I’m new to watching this show. I spent most of March in the hospital because of a problem similar to what happened to Chris’s leg. My wound was much bigger and I actually had a diagnosis of gangrene. I’m doing much better now. The point I’m ending with is that unlike Chris, I haven’t gained 40 pounds in my recovery. I actually have been able to stick to my diet.

For me, it’s just fun to have a team to yell “boo” towards. They’ve grown on me, but one reason I dislike them is the costumes.

JJ is not on Pluto Channel 158 24 hours a day, but she is in it overnight for several hours.

The streaming app Pluto has a new channel that shows old Judge Judy episodes. It’s channel 158, “Courtroom.” I’ve been watching episodes from the first season of the show. It’s odd how plain the courtroom is.

The participants are the same bots as in the regular competition so far. The premis is that each week there is one bot at the “top” that the others compete to take on. There are three prelim rounds with the winner going on to take on the other winner until you get to the week’s finale. I think the winner each week takes home $5000. Each bout is formatted like the regular ones are. They were obviously filmed during the big competition. All bouts take place on the same day, so the bots have to be put together quickly. I assume that the participants do this after they’ve been eliminated after the big competition. I enjoy the Bounty Hunters as much as the big show. I think a lot of it is because of how this year only has the audience comprised of participants. It’s very good natured and makes me happy.

I don’t like hammer bots because it is very difficult for them to get the timing right. But I was happy to see one (Shattered) have success. I was disappointed that Copperhead lost, but I do like having a unique bot like Mammoth compete.

No comments about this week’s competition yet. But I wanted to state that I really like Uppercut.

He would have been an excellent Lloyd.

I understand what someone would build a bit like Chomp to be innovative. But I don’t think it brings anything to the competition. I like Copperhead’s simplicity. And I like the little small snakes that don’t add anything.

I found the THUNK! sound of Huge hitting Kraken to be pleasing. I like Kraken, but it was a nice sound.

Regarding your spoiler, I think the ref ended the fight prematurely. But it was obvious at that point who was going to lose. I was impressed with Jackpot & Skorpios. They are both a little rough looking but they are fast and violent.

I’ll give Sandy the benefit of the doubt and say she was motivated to move Cindy to her house to save her. But not everyone wants to be saved and Cindy articulated that she didn’t want to do various things. She should have accepted Cindy’s reluctance. I doubt Sandy had power of attorney to make those decisions. And I would have been very pissed off if I was Cindy and discovered there was no bed and I couldn’t use the bathroom. Sandy shouldn’t have hid those truths.

For me there is one good thing about Hemingford Home being an assisted living facility... It ended my fixation on the fact that it was supposed to be in Nebraska rather than Colorado.

It was a great episode. I was glad to see Smeee again. I like the unusual bots. Along that line, I would like to own Sharko and chase people down a street.
