I’m not sure I’m going to enjoy Ted Lasso as Jason Sudekis working through his real life messy divorce this season. Sigh.

Honestly, while there are charming moments, I’m underwhelmed so far. The ‘aw shucks’ is exhausting with Ted. Two years in & you are still wildly uninformed as a coach? Nope. Not amusing at all. It was interesting to me at end, w/Roy//Ted/Crimm & roy talking about how he should have stayed even if he wasn’t up to it to just enjoy it. Maybe point is Ted knows he’s not good & wont fix things, got what he needed in fixing himself last year & even though he knows he’s not the answer, he enjoys these folks & will stay this season, for better/worse for team, because it makes him happy.

I had compassion for Andie (maybe Quinten a bit, but not much, he was always wrong) ) in the immediate aftermath. Over them both after this reunion. Honestly, Andie pontificating about how they built personal bonds to advance in game then to go to immediately saying Cirie was wrong to do same? I have no patience for that nonsense. They’ve had months to process….get away from me with this teary nonsense. Kate remains great. Cirie deserved her flowers (not idiocy) & gave best advice….’use your ears more than your mouths’. As Kate noted, great life advice as well.

I’m okay if they manipulate timeline & schedule show to end in a season or two & we don’t have to live through George dying. On BBT, we knew he died before range. Quite happy if all we know from this show is he dies after range of show. Also don’t need to see affair. It ultimately happened but not sure it’s sitcom material.

I am simply gobsmacked that there are so many (not necessarily here) who assumed Arie caved & let Cirie win v. decided that she took his money and got greedy so he was trying to take hers away & making sure the other two won over Cirie.

Delicious!!!!

Oh, right on the couple they helped. My bad🤷‍♀️

I wonder if the focus on Derek & Claire helping Luis & Michele is meant to highlight their downfall (in that they’ve already made the mistake of when to shutdown help) or the highlighting of recognizing it needs to stop shows they won’t blow it. Personally, I feel like this is too late in the game to give one sided help to a clearly strong team. ETA: Whoops, they didn’t help Luis & Michele, it was the other couple. Still not sure a great idea this late.

Boo! Not feeling this season.

Her exit interviews have been delightful & very self aware! They really feel like the person I always thought that was there, not a bad person, just soooo many horrible reads & plays with all the information she had.

I hate this for them, but just no way to risk it. Especially with just the one charter for all teams.

It really is a fantastic turnaround for the show. I chuckled a bit when I pulled it up on my dvr screen, I still have the last four from last season sitting there not viewed. Thought I was done, but here I am pulled back in. There are still annoyances, but I’m really enjoying this refresh.

But that story doesn’t seem like it is one of two reasons why Lindsay would want Geo voted out first.

Last week in interviews, Lindsay says 2 reasons to vote Geo. One was weakness in first challenge. Second was ‘his story to tell’. Turns out the story was he was an alternate for season. That seems like non-story. I sort of like Lindsay a bit less, as it feels like she was suggesting he wasn’t worthy to be on season? That he was an alternate isn’t a story, it’s just something that actually happens now and again. Am I ready this wrong?

To me, the challenges are something I fast forward through, so no issues here.

So, happy that the show is 2 for 2 this season! Really hoping they bring back a grounded Helm this season. I’ve always liked her but they barely put any thought into her character until very recently. They put a lot of thought into Schmitt & he’s just the most annoying, useless character ever. Rooting for Helm. letting Teddy/Owen roll off my back, don’t care. Really liking investment in new interns. Also, Marla Gibbs! Protect Zola at all costs.

That was just a week or two ago. Pretty sure the race has been over for awhile.

Welp, I’m all in on Emily & Molly. Sadly, given my track record of rooting interests, this does not bode well for them.🤷‍♀️

I’m not going to be surprised if down the road we learn that he was really telling a true story about his brother to the mother, but was playing it off to Gilmore. Icy exterior/walls up like, perhaps an Alex type?:)

Dare I say…I liked it! Sorry to see Schmidt. Sorry to see Owen/Teddy.

Fantastic interview questions from Nicole Weaver to Monte here. Highlights why diversity is not only important inside the house, but in interviewers granted access. Maybe someday CBS will also figure out that behind the scenes diversity is equally important as on camera diversity. https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/big-brother-24-monte-being-more-aware-emotional-taylor-moments.html/

I am never not going to find it funny that some are saying that Taylor’s win means nothing because she’s not a civil rights hero??!! Nor am I going to do anything but laugh at those who diminish us as looking for heros for loving her win. So dumb. She was bullied all season, remained kind & made it through to the end. That’s a story that will always win, but mostly doesn’t on this show. Simple as that. If her win makes others chafe, all the better!! let’s go Taylor. What an underdog come from behind story!!

So, it’s possible Taylor might get evicted from a house? Just not the Big Brother house??!!😂😂😂

Pretty sure everyone came here to win for themselves this season. Taylor certainly did. And she swept the mfing game! Got it all. And more.

From week one to tonight….. https://www.google.com/search?q=do.you+believe+in+miracles+clip&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:a4326669,vid:mCmGEev3AxQ,st:0
