I've always had a soft spot for Clare. Hope this is the happy ending she wanted. Hope they adopt a pet raccoon and live happily ever after.

Wonder if they'll trot out Sean Lowe? He pushed Arie for years for the spot.

Zagitova reminded me of aluminum foil blowing around a back yard. I'm not seeing amazing transitions, just Plushy arms flailing around like a swan stuck in oil. Not impressed.

"I really wish someone had skated to Carmen this year. We never hear it anymore." Said NO ONE EVER.

Daleman needs to burn that vocal. It was like hearing cats mate. My ears. Wish they had deductions for overused music. Ick.

I finally figured out what Bradie reminds me of. A light wooden boards with Gumby arms. We need more AC/DC and less Eyes Wide Shut.

I swear Austman looks like Princess Diana. Didn't mind the Kazakhstan skater, at least she was different.

Lord I hate Moulin Rouge. Did they pick the worst sung parts of it on purpose?

Surprised that Gabrielle isn't in a turtleneck.

Why do I keep hearing bird whistles? New drinking game "wardrobe malfunction". Oh shut up about it already. Does anyone know the song the OAR top team skated to? I swear I've heard it before.

I really wanted Uncle Gary to hit Arie with his cane. A shallow part of me thinks that the Bachelor wants to check out how well the mothers age before picking the fantasy suite ladies. I need a shower now, or a lobotomy.

St. Juliette of the Bolivian campus just needs to be slapped. She'll "facetime" the daughter she keeps abandoning? Run Avery and take Cadence with you. I'm over this show shoving random characters onto my screen. Alanna needs to go. Jonah needs to go. I wanted WAG, not some random free spirit taking over their scenes. Ugh. Brad really looks like he escaped from the crazy child beaters academy. Can he twirl his mustache next time he's on screen? And when did Daphne become an idiot? She knows Jake's dad is an abusive ahole, she's seen what happened with her sister and shady producers, and Teddy selling them off to Jeff. Guess the "writers" are setting up a "Deacon saves the day" story.

This is a great podium. Fabulous skating tonight. Hanyu was amazing, Uno was so flipping cute, Javi finally got his medal, Chen got redemption, and Zhou said Rippon made it into the top 10.

Wonder how many people still know who Charlie Chaplin was? Great skate from Shoma. And Javi brought it tonight. Nice.

The Nationals judges did Nathan no favors overscoring him. That was brutal to watch. Kolyada looks like a woman I used to work with. She was 50 and had the same haircut.

Scarlett did 3 minutes of therapy on what's his name and he's having a breakthrough and singing again? Okay. Back to the stables with you. However, when she rolled her eyes at Gunner and the new girl, I laughed. Roid Rage Will is getting some great lines. But why is he in the band again? Gunner (and his stupid hat) is a walking restraining order. Go away. They can also remove Alanna too. She bugs me and we don't need any more new people. I'm a sap. I teared up at Jessie's talk with Daphne. That dinner was so awkward it was hysterical. Been there trying to blend a family, so I saw some truth going on there.

I never notice their noses. Fake lashes are more distracting to me. Who thinks the spider leg look is sexy? I'm just popping in hoping that Arie dumped Lauren for another runner up. Does that mean I'm going to hell?

Eh, maybe she really is 15 and we're watching a very special episode of "To Catch a Predator"?

Cutest thing this episode was baby Cadence sleeping in bed sideways with an arm over her head. Stupidest thing was Juliette again abandoning her family. We saw this a few seasons ago when she came home, made nice, dragged Avery out for a movie photo op and then left her family and phone the next morning. Enough. Avery needs to walk, take the baby and not look back. Chip continues to be the best actor on the show. Maddie J can go away. And take boy singer with her. Ugh. Gunner needs to stop sniffing around every single female that crosses his path. And ditch the hat. That's why women don't want him.

I'm fine with her leaving the Instagram stuff up. After being dumped by the green haired possum, she might welcome the ego boost. The only way that they can keep this secret is film as they air and let the Bach/ette do a live dump and pick. Which would probably really spike the ratings...

Just watched the Jimmy Don episode, and then the new one with the family with 2 boys in wheelchairs. I cried. The Make a Wish backyard where they could play? I cried. The bedrooms where they could do their mobility exercises? I cried. For once I didn't even mind Tim Tebow. I'm mushy. It'll pass, but seeing how so many people came together to help the family out was really sweet.

Oops! Shows how much the characters stick in my mind these days. :)

Well, we got more music this time? That was good. Rhiannon Giddons was just fabulous, happy to see her back. I could listen to her all day. Don't care about the cult or the horses. Hayden has been wasted this season. Daphne and Jake bonding is cute. I've got money on him being abused by evil dad. I wanted more Avery, Will, and Gunnar scenes, but a boy band? Um, no. These guys are too talented to sing BSB covers. Hi Glenn, nice to see you. I miss Bucky.

Maybe Arie was relieved that Bekah was over 17? I'm getting "To Catch a Predator" vibes from their interactions. My only hope is that if they wind up together that she takes him clothes shopping and burns his cardigans. He must have hit his head hard many times racing. That's my only explanation for his choices. Oh right, producer picks. Tahoe is pretty. I'm here for the travel porn and meltdowns and fake cry voices.

This really is bizarro Nashville these days. It's like the writers, stylists and actors just decided to mess with whatever suckers are still watching. Dip some actors in a vat of peroxide, introduce a cult, have a steroid storyline come out of nowhere, toss in some horses for the hell of it, so strange. Only good part was Zach leaving, along with the non-existent Rachel Bilson character. They should have ended the show on ABC. We only had 1 song this week, and nope, I'm not counting Blondie and Beiber's duet. Thankfully we had Maisey singing, but it also showed how much better this show could have been without the storylines that make zero sense. Ugh.
