So your plan is to go to the crazy guy who just shot at you and expect him to respond like a reasonable person. Great plan, Caroline and Ridge. I guess "just a few kisses" is the new "we were robbed." Everyone in the cast gets to say it at least once. NO THANK YOU.

I do love that they're rounding out the personalities and motivations of everyone. There's something to respect about every character (well... maybe not Hakeem yet).

I agree. And if everyone keeps acting like Maya's a piece of garbage Rick dragged in from the curb, I'm going to have to root for them and I don't want to do that because I see where this is going. Honestly, today broke my last bit of excitement about this storyline. So much for fun drama. I'm not interested in watching Caroline's a Perfect Angel, Everyone Bow Down. No thanks. Also: Brook. Nope. First of all, you never ever get to get snooty with ANYONE about being with a married man. And your son just shot up an office. Maya's the one you're keeping an eye on? Fantastic. Poor Maya. If she knew Brook better she could have just said Rick was her destiny and Brook would've been ordering flowers and getting Eric to design a dress for the wedding.

Sigh, I don't know. This storyline has been so much fun, but every day it seems they're going more down the Rick's nuts and everyone else is a perfectly innocent victim of his tantrum. That's BORING (except for him actually acting crazy which is fun). What I liked over the past few weeks is that everyone involved has behaved badly yet at least partially sympathetically. That's messy and compelling to me. If they're going to go huge battle, I'm going to need more than Rick and Maya on his side. Them against every other person on the show isn't fun for me to watch. Don't ruin this!

Elizabeth was horrible in general, but I can't be too mad at her for being a total bitch to Madison at the bar. Only Madison's empty head would think it was a good idea to try and cheer up the girl whose anger is largely about her. Not that Madison did anything wrong to Elizabeth but they all know what Elizabeth was so pissed about. Not a good idea to poke that beehive.

That last scene was fantastic. Except for Ivy. Seriously, stop. If I have to hear her say "a few kisses" one more time I'm going to go all Rick on my television. I bet she wouldn't think the way Liam and Hope said goodbye was no big deal. And I can't wait until Steffy and her lips come back to town. Worry about your own life, Ivy.

In the past two weeks we've had successfully Abbie doing spells. Jenny successfully doing spells. Hawley even had a little magical succubus-repelling glowy rock. So pretty much everyone is better at magic than Katrina. Okay. Also is it me, or at this point are you all hearing sad trombones whenever bozo-hair appears on screen?

And given that Josh told us and presumably his fellow contestants that he and Reed are so devout that they're abstaining until they're married, I can see her surprise about this. I don't share it, but I understand her point and don't think it's stupid.

Please add my name to the list to find out how that team selection worked for the reward challenge. I really need to know who was responsible for creating Team "Snowball's Chance in Hell" so I can laugh at them.

I'm pretty sure I'd be happy with nine hours of Cooper chasing himself through the black lodge after all these years, so anything better than that is gravy.

My heart can't take it. I'm just repeating, "nothing to see here, move along," over and over. But... !!!!!

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed these fools. Though, only the names of the most ridiculous stayed with me. Hopefully Amber(?) and Ethan(?) won't let any of the rest of the cast babysit. Or touch the baby. Or even be in the same room with her. Adding some of this crew to the Challenge cast is brilliant and enough to make me try watching that mess again.

I was coming around on Jake until this episode. That sex talk just... no. Nope. It was gross and desperate and I can't really even explain why, but it really... ewwwww.

Nice to see John Noble still spilling the beans more than he's probably supposed to.

I doubt it. I'm pretty sure once the drama ends Sookie's going to be too busy having terrible accent sex with Bill.

It's not a good sign that I kept hoping the plane would crash, just so something would change with the idiot-go-round that is Hank and Karen. But I guess I'm happy for the Runkles. So there's that.

Yep. I smell it too. First Bill got to be Vampire Jesus last year, and now he's going to be poor, long suffering Bill nobody likes or trust, isn't that soooooo sad. Until Sookie decides to do another stupid thing and get back together with him. One thing I will give the show... After Sookie stomped off in a huff from Merlottes or Bellefleurs or whatever they're calling it, on her own, after a massacre, when any human is at high risk and one with delicious fair blood should be really careful, I was a bit surprised they didn't have a Hep-V vamp attack her, requiring Bill to save her. Maybe next week?

It's really the central problem with this show for me. Every season Becca and Karen get worse. And they're supposed to be things Hank wants to be a better man for. But they're so awful, I want them both to drive off a cliff. Ugh.

Oh man. I was hoping Fox would save me from myself. But now I'll probably binge watch the whole rest of the season over a weekend and then need a lobotomy to remove the horror from my brain.

Karen would find some way to be mad at Hank about that too.
