  1. I’m mixed on Allison. She is really mopey but I love her banter with Todd. Hopefully they can find a good balance with her. I really am curious if they will try to work in any singing for Skylar Astin. I fell down a youtube well of videos of him singing and just WOW. Maybe they can do a dream sequence or something. Heck, Psych did an entire musical episode and their actors weren’t even known for singing. I think they could pull off something similar on this show.
  2. I miss the old show in its glory days of course, but I think they did a pretty good job with this. I figured it wasn’t coming back so I’m glad they are giving it a go and maybe at this point it’s a good thing to change up the format and style a bit. The Twitch segment got me. I’m guessing they will probably mention him again at some point; it would be nice to have a dance tribute to him. It’s just still unbearably sad. I wish Comfort could be on the whole duration of the show, too.
  3. I wish they had some kind of twist where the loser with the highest score could come back for one more challenge and if they win they are back in, like a wild card. It’s just a shame that Stephanie and Adam are out with such high scores when people in the 70s are going through. But I guess that’s just part of the game.
  4. Yeah I like him well enough on the Kitchen, and I think it’s funny when he has to eat stuff like Katie’s no bake eclair cake made with *gasp* instant pudding. You know he’s dying inside but I bet he actually liked it. Lol! I think at this point most people think of Carla as just a tv host/judge, but she made it to the finals on her season of Top Chef and it seemed like she made really good food. I was glad to see Britt win her round, I like her a lot. I’d kind of like to see Antonia win this whole thing, but I also love Shota and can’t help but root for Jet to finally win. I can’t watch this live, I have to dvr it so I can fast forward through the same Little Caesar’s ad they show at every single commercial break. Ugh!
  5. Really disappointed that Reba didn’t keep Noah. I think it was a mistake to keep both Ruby and the chick with the sunglasses, it seems like they will cancel each other out. I would’ve kept Ruby and Noah for sure, on the fence about the third choice. Also disappointed in Gwen’s decision to let Lennon go. The whole “bring back anyone from any team” thing has been a big anticlimactic let down so far. It really is ridiculous how many recaps they do in this show, yet they couldn’t be bothered to show all the knockout performances last week. It’s horrible when they just montage people completely out of the show without showing a proper goodbye.
  6. I thought it was funny that Melissa’s character Amy on Brooklyn 99 is so smart and competitive, but then Melissa didn’t do so great here. Amy would’ve been so mad! 🤣 I’ve always liked Steven Weber, he seems like a nice guy.
  7. Totally. Who calls themself Iceberg? All I kept thinking of was iceberg lettuce. Her voice was nice but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. I wish Walking Eagle had gotten a turn. He seemed like a gentle soul with a beautiful smile.
  8. I watched the movie “The Peanut Butter Falcon” a couple weeks ago and Jon Bernthal plays the deceased brother of Shia LaBeouf’s character, appearing in flashback scenes. He’s really carving out a “dead flashback brother” niche!
  9. I haven’t read all the comments because I’m still working through season 2 but just wanted to pop on and say how much I love the music, especially season 2 ep 5 with Carmie and Claire. Pretty in Pink! REM. Best of all, opening and closing the ep with Replacements songs. “Can’t Hardly Wait” while he kissed her at the end made me so giddy. 😊❤️
  10. I think the comment about how he just can’t help being a mom was definitely a nod to the theory that he was Liz’s mom. They probably figured most fans figured that out so they’d acknowledge it without spelling it out. The bull was out of left field but I guess it’s better than him being shot or dying of his mysterious illness. Note the song at the end was a Spanish version of “My Way”. So Red went out his way. I liked Dembe’s last scene. I really enjoyed the actor and I’m so glad they didn’t kill him off!
  11. So fun to see Andrew McCarthy! Despite the normal aging in his face, he still looks basically the same, but with Spader I have to look really hard to see his 80s self hiding in there. Poor Mackenzie Astin. Like Ressler needs something else to feel guilty about. Not that it was his fault but if he’d been able to answer his phone he might’ve been able to help him. So with just a finale left, I’m wondering if they will actually answer any questions about Red’s true identity, or if they’ve just given up. This might be an unpopular opinion but I actually enjoy the scenes with Red and Agnes, I think they are sweet.
  12. I’m rooting for Gina or D. Smooth for the win. D. Smooth wasn’t even on my radar at first but he’s won me over. He seems very professional and natural up there. Nothing Compares 2 U was a great song choice for Gina. She’s good at those slow moody songs.
  13. I suspect the show is partially scripted but perhaps not all the way. So some of the guests (Dick Van Dyke for example) are scheduled to just appear once. But it’s possible the ones who can commit to staying the whole time actually do compete based on votes. Some of them might make deals that they will appear a certain amount of episodes but not the whole thing. That seemed to be the case with Pentatonix, I feel like they came on for more exposure and to debut their Creep performance.
  14. I remembered the song River but didn’t know who sang it. When she sang normal to high it sounded like it could’ve been Fergie but the low notes and shouty parts didn’t. Oh well. It was nice seeing Dick Van Dyke this season!
  15. I’m a little behind watching this season but the flash forward just makes Midge even more unlikeable and I too hope it ends up to be some kind of dream sequence or something. Between this show and Gilmore Girls I get the distinct impression ASP is not a fan of kids. Lorelei and Rory are the only tender, loving parent-child relationship I think I’ve seen on either show. Mostly, kids are portrayed as an annoyance or the butt of a joke on her shows. (Which I’m ok with some of the time, Luke’s rant about kids having jam hands is still one of my favorites on GG.) But a little balance would be nice and maybe Midge could actually be shown ya know, enjoying her kids once in a while.
