When the hitchhiker had the flashback to 1970 and saw Margaret standing up in her cabin, I definitely felt like she was the killer. Maybe by herself or maybe with Mr. Jingles. And when she said to Richard Ramirez that you can get away with anything as long as you've experienced trauma and do it for God...shudder.

"I still like you as a son" 😂🤣😂 That whole scene between Jesse and Gideon killed me. I do wonder why Eli doesn't let Judy participate more in the church. Before I thought it was because she's a woman, but in last week's episode we saw that he and Aimee-Leigh were really a partnership, so I don't think that's it anymore. (Not that I feel bad for Judy. She, like all of them, is terrible, but still, unfair is unfair.)

Vivian was a delight this episode. "It's Salem; you have to make your own fun." "Remind me not to save your life because you get really petulant." 😂🤣😂

Easily my favorite moment in today's show. I hope to be as boss as Kate one day.

I enjoyed this episode, but I also knew that it wasn't a straight up reboot and had heightened reality elements. If I hadn't already known that I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. When she isn't being super hammy, like in the later seasons of 90210, Tori actually has really good comedic timing, like when she had that show (not a reality show) in the mid-aughts, So NoTorious. I was getting verklempt seeing the whole cast together without LP and damn if that ending didn't get me.

Binged all four episodes today and this episode just wrecked me, start to finish.

One of my favorite episodes (it may actually be my favorite) is the season 4 episode When Thieves Fall Out. A man who was wrongly convicted of murder and spent 20 years in prison comes to Cabot Cove because he thinks the real murderer is there. He torments the group of people who he thinks is responsible and it turns out the murderer is Jessica's friend, the high school football coach. She also gets pretty sanctimonious with the wrongly convicted man about the way he went about finding the real killer, but he asks her to think about how she would feel if she wrongly spent 20 years in prison. The episode ends on a pretty ambiguous note and, really, Jessica is in the wrong, which doesn't happen a lot. I also really enjoy the season one episode Lovers and Other Killers, where Jessica gets a male administrative assistant who is accused of murder, but you never actually find out whether he killed the old woman he was dating/using for money. I guess I just love an ambiguous ending here and there.

Definitely laughed out loud at this exchange today: Jack (don't remember the exact wording): I'm proud of my record as mayor. Jennifer: Really?! A nice moment of fun for those two.

Honestly, my thought was that the mother thinks her daughter is too chubby for the dress. Not that I think the daughter is chubby, she just isn't as slender as her mother and I could see that awful woman being shallow like that. And if she's that awful on camera, just imagine how she must be off camera. No wonder they'd already been to 80 stores. I agree that the dress was ugly, but it seems like she was only looking for those tacky as hell dresses, so just let the poor girl get the tacky dress that she loves. I ended up liking the flight attendant more that I thought I would. She initially really rubbed me the wrong way when she said that she always waits til the last minute but that things still seem to work out. I was once working an event and I had to scramble the day of the event because suddenly multiple people decided to register for it that day. One of those people said to me, in a condescending tone, "It'll all work out, don't worry," and I screamed in my head, "IT'LL ALL WORK OUT BECAUSE I'M SCRAMBLING TO MAKE IT WORK!" I just hate that attitude that things just magically happen when it's generally someone working their ass off to make it happen. /rant over

LOL, apparently. For me, if a communion/confirmation/graduation party doesn't involve folding tables set up in a garage, I'm not interested 🙂 And thank you for mentioning River Forest. I've been trying to figure out where they are because I knew it wasn't Chicago proper.

Holy shit (pun intended), that communion party was the tackiest first communion party I've ever seen. And I was raised Catholic, so I've been to plenty to know what they're normally like. Who gets their hair and makeup professionally done for their son's first communion? And who wears that dress to their son's first communion? At least the extended family seems to be sane. The Greek chorus interviews are my favorite part of the show. (And I'm from Chicago - south side Irish - and it's not a first communion party without the Holy Trinity - mostaccioli, Italian beef, and fried or broasted chicken. The pasta they were eating did look really good, though.) I'm not even exaggerating when I say this, I can legit picture Sunhe hiring a hitman to kill Jason and/or Angelica. This woman is fucking nuts. I noticed today that she almost always refers to Angelica as "my daughter." She's a person that exists outside of you, Sunhe! Doing a topless photoshoot with your mom is so fucking weird and inappropriate. Thank God the other daughter has one sane parent. I really wonder if as Mariah gets older she's going to look back and see how inappropriate this all is. She seems pretty vapid, so probably not.

My first thought when Angelica made her mom breakfast and was then giving her a foot rub was the she's Cinderella. Angelica also helps her mom get dressed and orders food for her at restaurants. Sunhe doesn't want to lose her unpaid servant. Jesus, what an unnecessarily harsh comment. She can't help the way she looks or how tall she is. Soon Cher and Jared (I think that's her husband's name) will be dealing with two babies - Dawn and their own child. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who do something shitty and then turn on the water works when called on it so they can seem like the victim. Jared was right to be pissed that she intentionally left him out.

Cher and Dawn and the Italian mother and daughter (can't remember their names) were what I was imagining with a show called Smothered - unusually close but ultimately pretty harmless (maybe not totally harmless for the husbands, but they knew what they were getting into). But Mariah and Sandra and Angelica and Sunhe, holy shit. At least with Sandra, I get her angle - she wants to be young again. But find a younger friend/friends to do that with and don't do it with your daughter because that's just fucking weird and inappropriate. Sunhe is an unbelievably selfish piece of shit and a sorry-ass excuse for a mother. I actually get angry watching her. She seems like obsessed with her daughter. If I had a friend who was in a situation with her boyfriend like the one Angelica is in with Jason, I would be like, "Dump him!" But honestly, Angelica living with Jason, even with his ex-GF's stuff and the fact that he is still married, seems like a way better and healthier option than continuing to live with her mother. I want to send Angelica through deprogramming, like what cult members have to go through.

I'm with you. I just saw the episode and it's not like she has a vocal fry, which is a choice. That's just her voice. I have a lisp and had to go through speech therapy for a couple years when I was a kid and you know what? I still have the lisp. It takes such a concerted effort to change how you speak that ultimately, for me, it wasn't worth it. I don't have a problem with my lisp (and I'm guessing she doesn't have a problem with her voice) and if other people do then oh well, they can deal with it.

I remember that episode too and how Jonathan was opposed to it. Or at least I think it was the same episode. I doubt they had a second couple not want an open floor plan. I hate open floor plans because it always looks like people are just living in a big kitchen. And I HATE when they give the home buyers a big-ass kitchen and dining space and a teeny tiny living area. Controversial opinion (maybe?): living rooms should be bigger than kitchens/dining rooms.

Nice to see Sebastian *finally* getting some love. He is by far the most talented person in this competition. It's unfortunate that the only women remaining in the competition are Tessa and Hester. They're both not nearly as talented as they think. I can't believe either of them are in the top five.

It was weird to me that they only had a bottom two, not a bottom three. It seems like they either didn't want to put Tessa in the bottom because of what she revealed on the runway (more on that in a minute) or they didn't want to put Hester in the bottom because gay rights are such a big issue in the fashion industry. The guest judge asking Tessa what was behind her design felt exploitative and like producer manipulation. Not that Tessa should be ashamed of being a sexual assault survivor, but she shouldn't be put on the spot to reveal it on national television.

I liked Sonia when she was on the show but did not care for her today. Like dude, you're not in the competition and you're there to help your designer, so it doesn't really matter what you did for the outfit. Wasn't surprised Lela was out. She's been middle of the pack/cannon fodder this whole time. It's too bad she outlasted some more talented designers.

As much as I can't stand Hester, I love how much her success in this competition gets to Tessa. I don't think Tessa is nearly as talented as she thinks she is (her winning the first competition certainly didn't help that) and once again she needed Sebastian's help in a group challenge.

If you have access to the season, check out how nice everyone actually was to Wendy until the design for the future episode. Kara Saun is seen giving Wendy a glad-you're-safe hug in the swimsuit episode. The only person denigrating Wendy until episode 7 or 8 was Wendy herself. I agree with you @backgroundnoise. I recorded season one when Bravo re-aired it before the new season premiered and none of the contestants were mean to her initially. I could see the argument that the judges were mean to her because of how she looked, but Kara Saun helped her with that by showing her how to use less harsh-looking makeup (Wendy's regular harsh makeup). Once the other contestants started seeing how she would throw the team leader (Austin and then Kevin) under the bus anytime there was a team challenge, that's when they turned on her. One scene I had forgotten about until I rewatched was Vanessa and Wendy were both doing laundry and Wendy starts asking her questions like, "Do you regret coming here?" and Vanessa tells her to knock it off and that she knows what Wendy is doing and then Wendy acts all hurt and outraged at what Vanessa was implying. But Vanessa was right, that was what Wendy was doing! Had Vanessa said, "Yes, I regret coming here," that definitely would have been revealed had they both been in the bottom together. Wendy was manipulative and shitty and pulling Survivor-style moves on the show, which is certainly her choice to make, but then don't be surprised when the other contestants are turned off by that.

I will never get behind those normcore, 90's Seinfeld giant white sneakers. Bad, fashion! Bad! Garo's outfit reminded me of Sweet Dee's back brace. Bishme absolutely deserved to win. His jacket was killer. I didn't mind Kovid at first, but it was beyond time for him to go. I'm glad they've stopped giving him chance after chance.

I think, and I could be wrong, that the reason they didn't want Satan back on earth is because the witches and the mortals would all be enslaved to him and the demons who came up from Hell. But, if that's the reason, it would be weird if they continue worshiping him going forward.

They need to give a raise to whoever added "Not today Satan," to the script.

Casting Ray Wise as the anti-pope = brilliant!

I HATED Renee's look. I have no idea why the judges loved it so much. When her model came out carrying that empty plastic jug, I was like, "It looks like she just has trash all over her." If TIm were still on this show, this would be one of the wins where he would say, "Are the judges smoking crack?" I felt like Kovid should have been out over Afa. He's been in the bottom twice already, how many more chances does he get?
