He is as guilty as OJ. And like OJ, he go away with it. They both even tried to spin the "hypothetical" possibility of their involvement in their murders. I wonder if the prosecution wasn't able to use the scumbag's priors in her argument? Otherwise, his previous guilty pleas and gross behavior with minors, plus the evidence of him getting physical with Rhonda would be a good bag of evidence to bring him to trial. no? I'd convict him on looks/mannerisms/patter of speech alone. Creepiest creep whoever creeped. I think the mother was right, he is a sociopath & I'd throw in narcissist as well. He loves to hear himself talk. Why else would you OK a televised interview, then act shifty and coy by saying "Next question." with that smug pursed expression on your slug-like lips. He is a disgusting P.O.S. to suggest Rhonda committed suicide. He killed her. He did it. She probably told him it was over and she was moving on. He didn't want to lose his eye-and-arm candy. She made him look better b/c he was able to "get" such a pretty girl to live with and procreate with him. And once all the sex with minors (her own sister as victim) details came out, he knew if she left him, his chances of seeing his daughter would be nil. He threw or pushed her off the path in anger. When he climbed down to see what he'd done and she was still breathing, he put her out of his her misery (don't you love how he made himself the war buddy hero in that scenario?). He did it.

Wow, Megan the wife in the real estate ep was afull on bitch. And she is teaching her kids to be as disrespectful and unappreciative and irresponsible as she is. I really hope the husband gets his balls back and goes back to TX to rebuild. I would advise him to get a job with a modest salary so he can live comfortably while sending child support and minimal alimony. Don’t make too much money for a few years so that bleach blonde leech will be forced to find another ambitious man with a fat wallet. Once she hooks a new sucker, Zeke can ramp up his career and make a bundle of cash and be happy. That woman was a nightmare. She had no real interest in her kids or husband. She liked the facade of being a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills. She was all about playing the victim. Rolling my eyes hard at her attempt to be a “strong independent woman” at the end. Totally hated her from start to finish. Run Zeke run!

Forgot to mention....YAYAYAY! Alyssa looked Ah-may-ZING at the Hard Rock & on the runway! Finally. Please let this new benevolent stylist remain next to Alyssa for the remainder of the season.

I thought Helen's looked "country" for Faith Hill or Shania Twain & Fabio's looked like a Taylor Swift outfit. Helen hasn't ever been a favorite of mine, but I didn't think hers was worse than Stanley's. I like Stanley, but that was a sad case of "GarAnimals" walking down the runway. He should have kept the vest & ditched the skirt. No "bad-ass" rocker chick would wear a matchy-matchy get up like that. Ken & Anthony's looks were both great, so I'm glad they had a virtual tie. And if Edmond's too literal rock look winning meant Helen had to go, then OK. But his look was just so literal - black, fringe & leather.

OMG! yes, it so distracting! Bradley looks like he's one of those face swap apps come to life. Like someone took a screen grab of a 2 yr old's mouth and put it on Bradley's adult-sized face. I can't not look at his mouth. And while I'm swimming in the shallow end of the pool...I think Sebastian's face looks like a little monkey's. A cross between a Macaque/Capuchin/Marmoset maybe? His face/head look to small for his body. He's more wiry than bulky, but still his head looks out of proportion. He's missing some real estate in the jawline/chin area. Don't know her name, but stripey leggings yoga lady had better not weep about being a single mom "proving" something to her kids every damn week. I find it irritating when moms or dads go on a reality show to impress or teach a life lesson to their kids. If your children haven't gained the capacity to love or respect or learn from you during 'x' many years under the same roof, I don't think running around a jungle with complete strangers a thousand miles away is the best parenting choice. As for the show, I really give Michael credit for his attempt to persuade someone to flip at TC. His idol story was much more plausible than Dom's fake idol or Seth Rogan's less fortunate looking twin's fake story. I wish there was a way Chris & Bradley could both be shipped off to Ghost Island. Then the weight of their combined smugness would crush them both.

I like Hoda. She is more likable/tolerable than KL. Hoda definitely comes off as more intelligent than Jenna Bush-Whatever, Chenille and even Tamron Hall. The only thing that bugs me is the constant attention to Hoda's adoption story. I'm an adoptive mom and I appreciate her journey to motherhood. My family is so grateful for the process that brought my daughter into our lives 11 years ago. But the Today Show staff act as if Hoda is the first woman to ever adopt/have a child for Godssake. I get that she is over 50, so becoming a parent later in life is fulfilling a dream she had and didn't think was possible. Many congrats and blessings to you and your baby. Now, please MOVE ON! I feel like Hoda & Haley get extra attention from the co-hosts since Haley's arrival vs. Savannah's & Dylan's kids. Not that I want their children brought up as much as Hoda's.

Oh, yes! We have reporters who take the news van to the most infamous towns/sites for flooding or high winds or unusually high tides. They get pelted from waves while standing next to a sea wall, stand in flooded streets with hip waders (alternate camera shot: rowing down a flooded street in a canoe/kayak/raft), show us how windy it is by letting umbrellas turn inside out, pick up snow/slush to show us what the consistency is, plunge rulers into snow drifts to prove to us how much has fallen, do the snow -to - rain conversion, try to interview some random person struggling to get home or stop a jogger to ask "why???". And of course at the end of their rants, they remind us to stay off the streets so the plows can do their jobs.

Erika and her “look at me! I’m sooo provocative! I’m so above drama! I am a cold gangsta gurl who doesn’t need any girlfriends!” and her skanky teeny bop K-Pop, Japanese anime kiddie porn, 3rd rate Key West amateur night drag show sense of style and sexiness have worn thin. When she lashes out in her full on bully mode, she exposes her insecurity. Nothing about any of Erika’s designer costumes clothing read “expensive” to me. She looks cheap and is aging herself with the sex clown doll makeup and hair. She does have an amazing body. With her crypt-keeper’s husband’s money and Camille’s help, she could look stunning all the time instead of only 10% of her screen time.

Sigh...no Judge Judy for me Yesterday or today and probably not tomorrow thanks to our 3rd snow storm in 10 days. The local news channels keep breaking in to tell me (get this...) IT’S SNOWING! So that’s what all the cold wet white stuff piling up on my deck and lawn and car is! The weather guys are wetting themselves in excitement, reporting all the facts about snow. Important things like snow is wet and slippery. BTW, I am in New England where we typically can expect snow between November and March every year. Yet every year, we have to be reminded how to drive and dress in this meteorological mystery material falling from the sky. So, I will depend on all of you to fill me in on the parade of plaintiffs this week!

Not a Rosie Perez or a Josh Radnor fan, so not going to be watching. But after seeing the ads for this, it looks like a reboot of "Fame" with a little "Glee" mixed in.

Is the premise that these contestants have never baked before? Or only used Easy-Bake Ovens? I've watched 3 episodes, and while pretty funny I don't get why they are so clueless. Unless that's the point? Several of them introduce themselves as "loving to bake", but I'm not seeing even intermediate level knowledge from these folks. Yes, they are being asked to recreate amazing cake art done by professionals in ridiculously short time allotments, but I don't think knowing how to butter &/or line a pan before dumping batter in it requires an advanced degree from Le Cordon Bleu.

Still liking this show! I don't know how long they can sustain the weaselly store manager's role before he is too big a liability. One thing confused me. The stolen car- the ladies only took one car, right? Why did the police/car lot owner act like several were missing? Beth's husband said he was waiting on inventory to find out how many were gone. Um....look at the lot and see how many spaces are empty? One. Problem solved! Or, did they take more cars and we didn't see it?? Loved how Ruby shut down the "thirsty skank" in church!

If this is the wrong place for Megan Kelley topics, my apologies.... i don’t watch her show very often, but in the past 2 weeks I had it on as background noise. I noticed several times during cooking segments Ms. Kelley turns into a complete idiot. She doesn’t know what basic kitchen tools are...ummm, that is a spatula?? She had no idea that there a different types of mushrooms? She is baffled by anything that requires more than pressing microwave buttons. Yes, a lot of people don’t cook or prepare food like a chef. And I do not believe as a wife and mother, SHE must be the one in charge of cooking. However, she is married and has kids so at some point in her family life, someone must be cooking something occasionally, right? I doubt her entire family has been surviving solely on take out and Hot Pockets. Does Megan run and hide when meals are prepared so she can’t ever absorb cooking methods, vocabulary, ingredients or recipes? She has been earning a great salary for many years, so maybe she has just been able to afford prepared meals delivered? Even if she hates cooking or just isn’t interested in it, fine. But as a talk show host who prides herself on being smart, savvy, and sharp why wouldn’t she do a tiny bit of research before the cooking segment? Is she playing dumb? Or is she trying to give an attitude of “I’m so above cooking! I am a journalist for God’s sake!” Again, I don’t watch her show daily, but the cooking segments should just be pulled out of rotation because her dumb “I don’t know nuthin’ ‘bout no casseroles!” Comments ruin it IMO.

Not loving this mostly b/c of the half-assed premise. As others here have brought up, there is NO WAY a group of over-achieving academic focused kids would tolerate this setup. Neither would their parents. Even if he were a one-time substitute, I know of some kids and parents who would be outraged they missed out on 50 min of quality, college-prep class time. And does that classroom set even have any lab or biology equipment in it??? Is there even a row of plants in the window? I get that the teacher is not planning to teach biology, but most science-based classrooms have labs/shelves/experiments/charts etc hanging in them. This classroom could be English or History. The whole show should have been called "Study Hall" and it would have made a smidge more sense. All the classroom stuff aside, I think I'd watch the hell out of show with the Principal & Helen! Throw in the Greek Chorus in the teachers room.

I will give it one more chance. I am not warm and fuzzy about any of these people yet. Is the current Indian GF going to be a regular? I don't know if I can not like the lead guy AND his GF and still watch the show. I don't think Mindy will be on as a regular, so there goes the one likable person I could stick around for! The goofy brother is OK. He reminds me of a sweet golden retriever. The kid...he may be very talented, but I was exhausted after 10 mins of his "ON!!!" personality. Shades of Kurt from Glee...started out as an amazing character, a wonderful actor, good writing...but then it got to be too much Kurt drah-ma (honestly, I lost interest in the entire Glee cast and stories after 3 seasons). I know this is a comedy, and we must have some weird, farce ensue to get the characters together, but this is reeeally stretching it. A single mom from OH drives her son to an exclusive performing arts school in NY when a hiccup (naturally) occurs. The only one she knows in NY is her baby daddy who she hasn't seen, mentioned, or contacted in 15 years? And she leaves her one and only child with the guy??? A bit far fetched, no?

I didn’t like Helen’s dress at all. It was OK while the model stood still, but when she walked, all I could see was the puckering on the seams. Everywhere the two sides of fabric met were puckered and drew my eye right to it. Especially b/c of the shiny fabric up against the flat fabric. By Josh! You are not as talented, unique or fierce as you think you are. West Hollywood Mardi Gras Drag Queen parade wear has a place, but it ain’t on Project Runway Allstars. I think Alyssa’s Runway get up was one of the worst she has ever worn. And I am including her super unflattering maternity outfits. There are so many different choices out there for women who are not as thin or as tall as the models! Why does she consistently wear clothing that makes her look short, square and dowdy? I will say her face/makeup looked beautiful, so thank goodness the glam crew likes her better than the stylists. Speaking of models...WTF with Stanley’s girl?? She is beyond skinny! Do you think she has the same number of bones, muscles and organs as the rest of us? How do they all fit into such a tiny frame?

I missed what the text said in the last scene....I assume that was Alexis’ phone & it was Ted? Loving Patrick on his own as a character, but the coupling of David and Patrick is growing on me too. Catherine O’Hara continues to slay me every week. Loved her delivery when discussing David’s previous “long term relationship”....”She was in prison,dear.”

Oh yes...she was a fake cryer for sure. I think she thought she was auditioning for a soap opera or a role on Real Housewives of Orange County. I didn’t finish the show because of the local weather hysterics (we are getting rain! AND snow! In winter! In New England!).

Yikes! I know she has had work done before, but I haven’t seen her in a while. Her nose looks like it has a fake tip. She is in Michael Jackson territory now.

I am still unclear on this season's big dust up over the supposed mean things said by Dorit/Kyle/Teddi about LVP. It makes no sense why THIS is the focus. Last year's "pantygate" was as stupid, but easier to find a reason for Erica's feelings. Previous so-called plots were also silly but kinda justified the hurt feelings (i.e Yolanda/Rinna Munchhausen, Kyle/Rinna/Brandi/Kim's addiction, LVP/Brandi/Kyle gossip rags, Adrian/Brandi surrogate) This go-round is so minor. Dorit said LVP was needy & was jealous of Dorit & Kyle's friendship. OK, and....? Why was this blown up and why are Kyle & Teddi involved? It isn't interesting in the slightest. Still hate Dorit with the fire of a thousand nuns with fake accents. When she was chasing after LVP at Camille's, she kept asking if she & LVP were "goooT". "Are we goooT? You & I, we are goooT? Are you goooT?" WTF with that accent? And WTF with Peekay changing her swim wear line name? I think it's a vanity project at best, but Dorit's name (Nava? Navid? Naya?) was better than "Beverly Beach" for crissake. No wonder Peekay is not very successful. He's a marketing nightmare. Beverly Beach sounds like a low budget drag queen's persona. I am envisioning sequined seashell pasties and a starfish thong.

This episode wasn't one of the better ones. I always love seeing Taran Killam, but despite being one of the biggest unsolved mysteries, the story was blah. I didn't like any of the story tellers either. At least no one threw up. I never heard about the Circleville Letters. Looks like I will be spending time on Google & Wikipedia today. Thanks Derek Waters for giving me today's reason to be distracted from my job!

I know people cannot help how they look and it is not nice to make fun of someone’s appearance. However, since my ticket to Hell in a Handbasket has been bought & upgraded to “express” many years ago, I’m gonna just say it. This was an exceptionally unattractive group today. And Giant Misfit is 100% correct about Rebecca’s ugliness going beyond skin deep. I don’t believe for a NY minute that she was “afraid” of her step father, or that he was abusive.

If Rebecca was going to kill herself b/c of guilt and grief over the little boy’s death, wouldn’t she just have easily done it by overdosing? Wouldn’t she want to just get it over with quickly? Who does elaborate bondage naked head first dives off a balcony to end it all?? NO ONE! “I’m so depressed and wracked with guilt over what happened, I cannot live another day with this and I just want to leave this world. Now, all I need is my copy of “Escapism Fails” by David Blaine and oh, about 20-30 feet of random rope I have just laying around here somewhere...” Total BS and bungled investigation by the Keystone Kops. I hope poor Rebecca’s family gets justice somehow.

I finally caught the pilot, and I am glad I didn’t come here to read the comments before I did. I seem to be one of a very small minority because I liked it! Yes, it has some cliche storylines and the wacky antics will get more ridiculous, but if the acting/actors are strong enough and the writing is intelligent, or interesting enough, I can stick with this kind of show. Because if I had to rate “good” shows based on the level of realism involved, I would never have watched (& rewatched) shows like Justified, The Sopranos, Friends, Friday Night Lights, This is Us, Deadwood, Seinfeld, Outlander, Mad Men,etc., etc. I am loving the female leads! Amber was my favorite Braverman in a family full of mostly unlikeable Parenthood people. Donna was my soul sister in Pawnee. Joan and her savvy are the main reasons Sterling Cooper (and eventually Sterling Cooper Draper Price) succeeded. And I got the bonus of seeing Matt Saracen again! **Note to the writers and producers of Good Girls - if you can manage to get Coach Taylor to drop by occasionally, I will forever be in your debt.

This show is a mess. SJP wants to be Carrie Bradshaw until the day she dies I guess? I never watched Sex in the City, but through osmosis, I picked up on enough about the characters to know I haaaated all of them. It makes me crazy when shows try to make the lead female seem so charming/sexy/gorgeous that every.single.man wants her immediately upon meeting her. The whole famous gallery owner guy story was more Sex in the City shenanigans. He sees her once and buys an expensive gift? Sees her small show in her small gallery and instantly knows she's an amazing art world savant? And with all the dopey acting & sloppy writing, the thing that irked me the most had almost nothing to do with the "plot". When Frances was attempting to hang the new sunny painting, she tried to use a 6" masonry nail to do it. I get that there had to be some contrivance to get Robert over to the house, but really? Does Frances use railroad spikes to hang art at her gallery too? If this show comes back for another season, I won't be watching. The only marginally "likeable" character for me is Dallas. The kids are awful. Too much Molly Shannon is annoying. Is Robert supposed to be the dopey, n'er do well with bad financial skills we met in Season 1? Or the well adjusted, real estate tycoon with a healthy relationship he became so quickly after divorcing Frances? Sloppy and unfocused IMO.
