I found this show confusing and the way the evidence was presented was not that coherent. Also thought they spent a lot of time on crazy theories that really have no factual evidence to support. Based on everything I saw I don't see any other logical explanation except that Adnan did it. Maybe Jay changed his story, maybe the police were unethical and got Jay to state things in a way to make their case stronger because there wasn't a lot of physical evidence---but my gut feeling is Adnan did it. Its gone too far for him to admit it now. I feel sorry for his mother, she didnt deserve for her life to unravel like this. It may be true that there was reasonable doubt and he shouldn't have been convicted, but tell me who did it if not Adnan?

Are we really supposed to hold this against Brittany? Do you vouch for everything anyone you come into contact with says?

About the food thing.....I kind of agree with the guests a little bit (although they could have been less rude about it). If I am on a once in a lifetime vacation, paying tens of thousands for a two day excursion, I want to EAT! This lunch at 2, dinner at 8 or 9 thing they seem to do on this show....I would be pretty darn hungry too! Especially with all the alcohol they seem to consume on these trips, I would want some nibbles. Doesn't seem like there are ever any hors d'ouevres or snacks available. These guys all looked to be into body building as well. Muscles burn a lot of calories! To me, being the chef would be the worst job on the boat. I know how time consuming cooking for one person can be....can't imagine being responsible for feeding the guests, the captain, and the crew every meal for weeks on end. I'm really surprised there aren't two chefs, or at least a 'sous-chef' or assistant. How can one person cook that much food?

I'm in for sure....love creepy underbelly of small rural town stories. Something strange up with the teacher/future wife?

Maybe I'm just being a grouch because I don't feel so good today, but where do they find these people and why does every show need to stress the 'family traditions and memories' of the hosts, especially if there is some unusual ethnic component involved? I guess this woman is probably a decent cook but I have not seen a single thing she does that tells me she is any kind of expert or can teach me something I don't already know. Same goes for Ree Drummond, Trisha Yearwood, Valerie Bertinelli and their ilk. I really don't care about her home, her husband and their 'farm'. I would love to see some true cooking experts that can really teach me something! Why not produce a baking show with someone like Nick Malgieri or Rose Levy Beranbaum who are true experts in their fields? I would love to see a show set in a professional bakery or restaurant to learn the real tips and secrets the pros use. I really liked Anne Burrell's old show "Secrets of a Restaurant Chef" because you actually learned how high-end restaurant food is created. And now for what bugs me more than anything else....why the incessant background music playing constantly? Oh she's chopping something...cue the music! She's squeezing a lemon....time for a different tune! Seems like Barefoot Contessa started this trend, but at least her music was really distinctive and interesting. Guess what I'm really trying to say is that I'd love to see cooking experts rather than these 'lifestyle' shows. What about the Jewish Ina Garten? Nothing wrong with diversity, but I am more interested in seeing expert-level cooks who can really teach me something, not just putting on a show simply because the host happens to be some particular ethnicity.

Katie really are you that fragile that you will quit a job you've been 'working' at for years because someone made a stupid comment? Just another example of how people are becoming sooo overly sensitive.

As others have noticed, i think there is a serious undercurrent of strangeness lurking in Adrian. "Rhylee is not allowed in the galley at all and can't even glance in my direction! She pushed a van seat back at me!!" Ok....... Seems a tad overboard for such a minor thing and I don't even think Rhylee really has anything personal against Adrian. It was just another one of her drunk outbursts. I'm wouldn't be surprised at all if Adrian had a psychotic breakdown at some point during the season. I know Rhylee has a serious chip on her shoulder and is kind of nuts but I strangely like her for some reason. She goes about it completely wrong, but I think her intentions are actually decent. She wants more responsibility and to help but just has no patience or tact. I think with some maturity she may turn out OK.

Is this the Sansa psychological analysis forum or the spoilers and speculation forum???

Isn't this show usually 12 episodes long since the beginning 7 or 8 seasons ago? Why the sudden change? And the last season of this show that held my attention at all was Hotel. I enjoyed the broody atmosphere and the music and most of the characters (especially Liz Taylor, although I hated the cop). The last 3 seasons have been really bad. This season has devolved into utter garbage!

Loved hearing the Hotel music and was holding out the slightest bit of hope there would be at least a fleeting glimpse of the fabulous Liz Taylor, my favorite AHS character of all time....alas, but no...... This episode was light years better than the others this season. Having a coherent plot always helps! Random observations: Why the hell was Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan killed so soon? Cody has like no muscle tone whatsoever but is doing a good job with the role. More Ruth Fisher, please. Princess Leia's daughter is not much of an actor. Don't understand the point of Queenie's constant racist remarks.

Thought Gen's huge room turned out really nice. I always thought her rooms were very hit or miss but this was a winner. Really mainly wanted to post that I can't believe next week is the season finale???? So Frank isn't even going to get to do a room? Laurie and Vern only got to do ONE room for the whole season? Why did we get Hildi TWICE? And claiming the original carpenters were coming back was really kind of a lie since they were only back as designers. Really hope if there is a next season it is much longer. I remember the original seasons going on forever and all of the designers appearing many times each season. That was my favorite thing watching the old show...seeing which pair of designers would be on the show that week. Why did we need THREE new designers, Clinton, N&J, when freaking Frank didnt even get to do a room??????

I find it hard to believe there are only 4 episodes left. Why bring back all 8(?) original designers, 3 new designers, Nate & Jeremiah, Clinton, and whoever else they might spring on us for a what, 9 or 10 episode season? I can't seem to find anything online that officially says how many episodes there are. I'll definitely keep watching if for nothing else out of nostalgia and to see what some of my old favorite designers will do, but otherwise this show really doesn't work anymore. America is much more savvy about design now and $2,000 is just not enough to do a convincing job without looking amateurish and cheap. And I don't know how Hildi can keep a straight face talking about the 'integrity' of her designs when she is obviously coming up with the most ridiculous things she can think of for shock value.

so i wonder what happened to the guy Carrie was in the car with? Guess he was not so lucky? The part with Saul at the airport was very tense and I love what the Vice President did. Little too much Keane for me.

Nate and Jeremiah's house looks so colorless and drab to me..really can't stand that style.

I hate to make 'armchair' observations based on the very limited amount of time we saw the couple from last night's episode, but after just a few minutes I sensed something VERY strange lurking under the surface with those two. As others have said I could see maybe a year going by like that due to life getting in the way, but SIXTEEN YEARS of NO KITCHEN SINK??? What the everliving F? I mean even if you don't complete the remodel at least go buy a laundry sink from home depot and hook it up to the water line!! The woman seemed sweet but there was something off about her, almost as if the sweetness was a put on. I don't really know what exactly but she seemed damaged. I sensed anger lurking beneath the surface with the man. I wonder what they are like behind closed doors. I think the final design looked decent but I didn't care for the terra-cotta above the stove at all. I think they chose nice furniture and accessories but that house was so small and oddly laid out it was very difficult to arrange the furniture. I feel the pain because I also have a small house (not quite as small as theirs) but the living room is also basically where the front door is and it's a pass through to the rest of the house. I would really be interested in seeing what's become of the house after Nate and Jeremiah left. Oh and Nate, please shave more regularly.....

I don't particularly care all that much for her either and i don't think Saul and Carrie are doing this for her. A foreign country is trying to subvert our government! It's not about Keane. I hope we don't see Frannie for several episodes at least. I mean that's pretty cold of the sister if she actually goes through with that threat

This season really started slowly but it sure has gotten exciting! Come to think of it the Pakistan and German seasons were kind of like that too.

I know Anthony seems to be the 'sweetheart' of a lot of the viewers here, but I am getting kind of tired of his squealing as well. I think he may be very good at making gowns for women going to some annual ball, but I don't fconsider him all that great of a versatile designer. I love Ken and believe he operates on a level of fashion far beyond Anthony. Have we seen Anthony make anything other than draped items? Ken can f*cking sew and tailor! I believe Stanley is the most talented and I share his love of classic, timeless design. I like some of Fabio's stuff but was not feeling his look last night at all. I have seen that bird pattern (which is not really chinoiserie) in wallpapered bathrooms.

I'd say that Sandoval might be the best looking but that front tooth gap just turns me off lol. Actually I think the new bar back Adam is pretty hot. SOMETIMES Schwartz is kinda cute but sometimes he looks like he isn't far off from the triplets....

To be honest I don't really think any of them is all that amazing looking.

I must be forgetting what happened to Dar Adal last season. I miss him this season.

Kaleb is gross. How can Madi kiss him with that disgusting brillo pad growing from his face? And then the shirtless scene of him in the bed....did we really need that? These girls really are not picking mates too well. Kaleb, Fat Tony, etc. At least the Duggar girls got decent looking men (well except for Jill).

I know objectively and logically Meri is to blame for a lot of this, but I do feel for her. She is really in a no win situation that is not totally her fault. Don't know why but I've always had a soft spot for Meri. Have they ever said if she was for or against Kodi initially taking on a second (and then third and fourth wives)? I feel like she would be so much happier just married to Kodi in a traditional marriage. JanelleI think it actually sort of works for. I think she enjoys her time away from Kodi and I'm not even sure if they have sex anymore. She is a very private person so she kind of gets a husband and kids without having to be the one entertaining Kodi all the time. Christine just loves being around a lot of people and grew up in polygamy so it kind of works for her as well. I think at this point Meri is staying out of fear of the unknown, the loss of the TLC check and most of all Mariah. Meri is the only one who has just one kid---really her only tie into the family at this point. To compound matters, Mariah comes out as gay in this ultra-conservative faith. Now Meri is further singled out with possibly no grandchildren in her future. Her personality type makes it extremely difficult for to effectively re-integrate. But the key to all as others have said is King Kodi. Unless she can figure out a way to be 'unbanished' from his kingdom, nothing will really change.

This was a really good exciting episode. I couldn't follow exactly every detail but it still felt like it was building to something and anytime Saul and Carrie cross paths is good. Have to say the agent who double crossed Carrie is pretty hot without a shirt!

Thanks for that article explaining about the location of NYFW. I had totally forgotten about Bryant Park, but the setup of the runway looked the same to me whether at Bryant Park or Lincoln Center, so I really didnt notice a difference. However this year's show really took a nosedive. It really looked like some smaller fashion show rather than the big important NY stage.
