I actually felt proud of George when, in response to Brenda's "suggestive" behavior, he asked her what she was trying to do.

I love Kemi. She is such a good character.

This! I've only seen a few episodes of TBBT, so I didn't recognize Howard's voice (in fact, didn't know whose voice it was until reading the discussion here) and both voices sounded very similar to me. So the whole beginning voiceover banter was lost on me, although others here seemed to enjoy it.

Overall, I thought it was a good episode. Just a couple of things felt weirdly out of place for me. The Dale/June/Meemaw story line was kind of silly and out of rhythm with the episode. And IRL, I don't think a teacher and president/principal would get such joy out of upsetting a child, albeit, a very annoying child. Sheldon, although quirky, is quite harmless and I am surprise these grown-ups and professionals allow him to get under their skin.

Very good point! I hope it's true. I've liked Meemaw's character throughout this series and didn't want her to turn into a jerk. 👋

Agreed! Not liking the illegal casino behind the laundromat premise. I liked Meemaw's character better when she's dating quirky men, rather than cheating her grandson. If Georgie quit school to make some money, why should she undermine that by assuming he would or should work for her for half of minimum wage or less. Cute that both mom and daughter are having thoughts of the youth pastor. The fruit didn't fall far from the tree! 😆

Anyone else notice how much weight Billy Gardell has lost?

I thought this was a bummer episode. Meemaw laundromat is a drag, then the backroom casino is closed down. Georgie moves into the garage and resorts to urinating in the slop sink. Mary's not happy and neither is George, although that is not such an oddity. And Sheldon isn't happy about being separated from Missy. Maybe Missy is somewhat happy. Doesn't seem like any of the Cooper's won this week.

This is the first time I actually liked Georgie's girlfriend. As HurricaneVal said, she's the only one who gave him some pause. Quitting high school is clearly a foolish thing to do, and he owes it to himself and his family to stay in school while living under his parents roof. I am not liking the direction the show is going with Dr. Sturgis. I liked the premise better when he was awkwardly confronted with dating and romance and sex. I loved him with Connie, although they did seem ill-suited. Dale is too miserable for anyone to want to be around.

Then they go in the chicken coop together to discuss, basically, nothing. Seriously? Talk about arousing suspicion. How out of character for Brenda to respond to Connie the way she did. I would expect Brenda to say something like "What's with the 20 questions? I've got shopping to do!", not quake in her boots over nothing.

I find the George and Brenda attraction unfathomable as I don't think Brenda was ever particularly nice to any of the Cooper's. I suppose they were just two lonely hearts fueled by some alcohol. It seems like a ridiculous premise, however, if discretion is one of their goals. With George and his family living next door and Meemaw across the street, they're just asking to be caught. George was deservedly riddled with guilt since he knows something likely would have happened had it not been for a medical emergency.

The characters of both of Bob's siblings add the least to the show, in my opinion. They're both kind of sad and pathetic and I don't really enjoy seeing the effects of excessive substance abuse, whether past or current. I think the brother played the ex-husband of the Christy on "Mom", and he was a similar character.

Not a "Bob", but a Lou . . . there were a couple of episodes of the Mary Tyler Moore Show (I'm old too!) when Rhoda redecorated for Lou Grant. To say Lou was not pleased is an understatement! 😄

I am surprised that they were able to throw the wedding together so quickly, including having friends and family from the USA attend. Wasn't their sole mission to Nigeria to get Dele back, or was the wedding planned for this trip all along? That was unclear to me, and the whole episode seemed haphazard. Although things are moving along quickly this season, I am not enjoying it as much. I still haven't seen a burning, loving relationship between Bob and Abishola develop, but now that they're married, I guess it's inferred.

Rather than writing Dele off the show, maybe they are keeping him in Nigeria for a while so they can readily include Tayo and Abishola's mother in future episodes. I would not like to see Dele written out; I like his character and he is a large part of his mother's life and the decisions she has made.

I am not invested in any of the couples to win because I like them all. I don't know whether any of them are in it for the long haul after the show or for the grand prize money. It's impossible for any of the couples to truly know each other just from their experiences on the show. The show may offer a foundation for the relationships, but the true acid test is in the outside world, with stresses such as careers and jobs , distance and problems that we all face. I like Olivia and Korey as a couple, and I know it's unpopular, but I like Olivia a lot. I thinks she's really pretty and I don't begrudge her for not finding a match with Korey the first day. Also, another unpopular opinion, but I really like Jeremy too. A very funny guy with a good sense of humor and he seems like he's fun to be around. And he's really nice to look at. Very handsome, in my opinion. I think Alana is as pretty as she is nice, and Charlie seems to be coming out of his shell. I thought he was really funny during Korey and Jeremy's fake date and it was sweet he wanted to dance at the luau. I like them as a couple. The only couple I don't want to see win is Will and Kyra. Simply because they were always off by themselves doing their own thing, and not really part of the experience. I don't think any newcomer ever picked Kyra for a date. She's a cute girl, but everyone knew she was 100% unavailable. It made them a very boring couple and I found it hard to build any fondness for them because of it. My heart aches for Kyra's father who has some serious reservations about Will's intentions. It must be a horribly helpless feeling for him. In the end, I wish them all well.

So, what's left of this season? Does one more couple gets kicked off? Then the remaining couples continue posturing to show they are the strongest couple and deserve to win? The finale is Sunday, I believe.

As for Cash, it seems like she sabotaged her relationship with Charlie, whether subconsciously or on purpose, so she could pursue Cinco without scrutiny of the show, the other islanders, or the public. Once things aren't going too well in the villa, it has got to be a relief to get out of there. She didn't look too miserable to be leaving. I truly wish all these people well in their journey.

My husband thought that perhaps she has vitiligo.

I think Kyra was hugging Shannon because she was afraid not to. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer . . . . 😨

Without taking sides on who-said-what or who is right or wrong, I find it appalling that Shannon yells at people. We've witnessed twice in as many days her becoming very argumentative, shouting and talking to someone in a condescending manner because she disagrees with them or takes issue with what they are saying. There is a civil way to talk to people and one can cite their opinion or state their point of view in a constructive manner.

Agreed. Unfortunately, even the challenges that ask questions about the islanders, the questions are mostly sexual in nature, sometimes aberrant, and don't expose anything deep and meaningful about the person. Looks fade, but personality lasts a lifetime. Also agree about the Spiderman Kiss challenge. Those images can't be erased. Eeek!

I wasn't aware the contestants had access to SM or any media beyond the Villa during their stint on Love Island. That certainly can and does sway their decisions and actions.

It's curious how with 8 billion people in the world, two people who know each other end up on the show. Unless they were all sitting around one day, Shannon, her sister and Genny, and decided to try out for the show. Perhaps the show ought to screen to avoid situations like this. As for the generations appearing this season, I thought there was a stark contrast between the ages of the 5 new women sent to the Villa vs. the 5 new men sent to Casa Amor. There's a big difference between a 21 year old and a 30 year old. Another strange casting decision.

Genny is best friend's with Shannon's younger sister, I think. Which further illustrates that the new women sent to the villa were so young, while the new guys sent to Casa Amor were older.
