LuvMyShows

I've seen a variety of reality shows where the 'stars' sang and played an instrument, and I have never, ever seen anything even remotely close to being that horrible! His singing was absolutely atrocious, and his song was merely awful. He had weeks to compose a song, and that's the best he could do...making up a verse based on something he happened to see in the room? I finally decided that while Tom doesn't have Resting Bitch Face, he does have Resting Anxious/Concerned Face. Preach!

Watching the "To Have and to Kill" episode of the new Oxygen show A Plan to Kill, I was once again amazed (in a bad way) at how detectives are so clueless when it comes to ambush murders. I'm talking about the type of situation where just as the person returns to their house, they are ambushed and killed. Unless someone has a perfect view of your door and can afford to wait all day/night for you to show up, it's going to take insider help to time it right. Yet I have never seen that be something that detectives think of in a timely manner. And in this case, they had been fooled for over a year and a half that the victim's wife was not involved, until someone else spilled the beans. They had never, ever considered the timing of the murder vis the victim's return from going on a fast food run for everyone, to wonder how the killer knew the exact time to be at the door. And what a truly awfully atrocious piece of sh*t that woman was. She told her boyfriend that she had cancer and no health insurance, so he married her (ostensibly so she could get health insurance), and then she basically killed him for the life insurance not terribly long after...and of course, she never actually had cancer. And IIRC, she told the people who would do the killing for her, that he was an awful person that abused her, when he sooo didn't.

Seriously. He owned a strip club and also was convicted of the contractor-defrauding thing. But according to Joan, he was practically a saint. WTAF?

On The Afterparty, Karla explained that her extended family is very large, and they don't see each other all that often, so when they do, they jokingly ask each other "Are you in love?" So she said that she asked Juan that at the altar, to sort of let him be included on her family's joke. But she never explained it to him, so, uh, yeah. Also, the subject came up of Juan's wedding gift to Karla, which was a swim cap! Apparently he likes to swim, which she doesn't. I really wish Keisha had gone into more about that, and had also asked Karla what she gave Juan.

Yeah, my dislike of her went way up from watching the Afterparty, but it was already up pretty high after her sex-preference-oversharing at the b'ette party. And that b'ette party confessional made her "I'm-an-introvert" thing all the more infuriating. It's like by saying she's an introvert, she was looking for that "You go gurl!" admiration for stepping out of her supposed comfort zone. I don't know why, but Emem seems like someone trying very hard to summon her better angels all the time, in everything she says and does, maybe to overcompensate for what her true nature or upbringing are. Her overdoing it with the "my man, my man, may man", and how at the b'ette party she said she would do anything for her man, just give me a clingy/desperate vibe that she tries to keep at bay. Part of why I'm thinking that, may be that in one of the clips of the coming season, it looked like Emem was going off verbally in a manner very similar to the epic unhingement of Michaela (of Michaela and Zack in Houston). And that would fit with being the flip side of the other stuff I had seen for her.

I carefully watched their entrance. And I could be reading a lot into it, but looking at the micro-movements, it didn't look good: Obviously they would walk in holding hands, but when they sat down, Chock did not sit right beside her. He sat a bit away, and then moved to be closer to her. But as he was moving to be closer, she was oddly looking down at that space between them. Right when he settled himself down, he clasped his own hands together on his lap for just a moment, and then reached for Joan's hand. Her hands were clasped together on her lap, and as he reached to hold her hand, it looked like some awkward fumbling on her part before she actually took his hand. And then when Jesse immediately commented on her ring, she showed it to Jesse in what seemed like an eagerness to let Chock's hand go. So once her hand was gone, Chock immediately put his hand on her leg. And when she did take his hand after showing the ring, and put her other hand on top of her first hand, it just looked positioned, rather than organic. Genius!!!

So, what happened with the candidate?!

Quoting myself on this one to provide an update. The nanny has agreed to turn state's evidence against the homeowner, and has corroborated all of it...they lured an unsuspecting guy to the house for what he thought would be a sexcapade, but was really so that the nanny and homeowner could kill the homeowner's wife and blame it on an attack from the supposedly unwanted intruder.

Quoting myself because sadly, if the cops had done this in the People Magazine Investigates new episode "The Boogeyman", they might have found that girl who was alive when the cops came to the house the first time. They were unable to search all the rooms in the house at that time, because some of the adults who lived there were not available to give permission for their rooms to be searched. But the cops never went back, or even took down the names of who those other people were. If they had, they would have seen that a sex offender was living right across the street, and maybe made it a priority to come back and try to get permission to search. Even if the guy didn't give permission, maybe they would have picked up on something while in the house again that gave them probable cause.

So here's the part that confuses me. I'm not 100% sure of the timeline, but IIRC, everyone pretty much agrees that Karen drove to the house around 12:30. So let's say that she did run him over. Wouldn't all the other party attendees have noticed his body when they left the party? But none of them said a word about his body...it was Karen coming back many hours later that found the body. That was part of made me believe her, along with what others have said upthread about how the injuries simply didn't match up with being hit by the corner of the car. And when that prosecution witness tried to explain about this very intricate way that Johnny would have spun around to hit his head a very specific way on the curb in order to sustain those injuries, I just rolled my eyes. I also thought it was a short distance, especially since the curb was mentioned. So how on earth could the data have shown that the car was going 29 MPH?!?! The nasty messages part actually helped me think she was innocent. As drunk as she was, I don't think that if she hit him knowingly (and intentionally), she could have convincingly left those messages. We definitely learned some very unflattering things about Karen, including how she spoke to Johnny (and how she basically turned her back on those kids so abruptly). So with everyone saying how great a guy he was, I am baffled by why he put up with her sh*t.

She is quite something. She asked Leo what he loves about her, and IIRC, after he said a few things, she wanted him to name even more. Yet when he asked her what she loved about him, she came up with nothing, then she said something about feeling pressured, and then finally she came up with something that was situational about something he had done/said but wasn't anything actually about him as a person. Once I saw that, I knew they were doomed. Also, another bad sign was that she said yes to an engagement, but wasn't ready to say "I love you" to him? And then what the hell was wrong with him that he said he would accept it if she never said it?!

Love that expression!!!

So what does Leo do, when he has the perfect chance to start fresh with women who know nothing about how much money he makes? He immediately tells them how much he makes! He also told the guys he didn't want to be defined by how much money he makes, while telling them as soon as he met them, how much money he makes!

I just watched it. As others have said before, the women in the family just act so immature and giggly when they're together, and it's not appealing. I think the producers or someone drastically overestimate the appeal of Hannah's mother. Hannah and Chad had waaaay more chemistry than Hannah's sister and the cop.

Just watched Curious Caterer: Forbidden Fruit. For whatever reason, it just didn't captivate me like the others in the franchise have. I don't really have any complaints...it was just kinda meh. And I don't like Goldie's hair shorter and darker.
