SixFeetOver

Yeah, I know. And the writers seem to love Toby. But for a brief, glorious moment, he felt less permanent.

I feel sorry for Kate, but if the miscarriage means that there's a chance of Toby going away, then.... YES!!!

Are we supposed to pretend that Kate is a good singer, who might be able to make a living at it? That's almost as ridiculous as selling Connie Britton as the biggest country star of the last twenty years. Thank goodness for the fast forward button! Bye Toby; bye Kate singing.

That does make sense. I just figured that since it's a rare outcome -- and this show is so soapy --- that it would have been done for plot reasons.

Did I miss a plot-point or episode in which it was suggested that Rafael might not be the father of Petra's twins? If he were their bio-dad, then wouldn't they be even a little bit darker (physically)?

Shania Twain's botox and/or fillers made me sad.

I don't think Varner is genuinely sorry for doing something wrong. It was calculated, and he seemed to take great pleasure in throwing this supposed missile at Zeke. His reactions at TB were telling as to why he was crying: It was about his image and potential consequences, not guilt. His illogical explanations for his actions (both now and then) contain bold faced lies. He's trying to get out of it, not make amends or really understand his motivations. Also, I think it's gross that he retweeted messages from his fans, expressing how they still love him and feel bad for him. He should have just posted his apology, and nothing more about the incident. I was uncomfortable when Zeke forgave him on the spot, and went out of his way to make Varner feel OK... it was like watching a victim who still wants his bully to like him because he's internalized the guilt and shame.

Why are boot lists only available as spoilers when it's an all-star/returnees season?

Is it unusual to not have a credible boot list at this point in the game? It's been a long time since I've thought that if certain people make it to the end or win (kyle/scott/nick), then I probably won't watch the rest of the season. I don't always avoid the villains, but these guys are somehow both aggravating and boring.
