That is direct from the books. Everyone including his mother called him Reacher since he was a little kid. Even though it was also their last name it was basically his family nickname that everyone used.

David Hasselhoff was the star. She was the eye candy who got bigger than the show and got a lot of air time because of that but as shown in the episode it was mostly for eye candy scenes only. She wasn't allowed a lot of dialogue from what I recall or at least not emotional stuff that showed any acting ability.

I don't like that they are trying to make Rand sympathetic like he was somehow justified in his actions. He was and is a scumbag loser by all accounts. I mean Tommy may have treated him badly but his actions were just as bad in my opinion if not worse. Maybe that will change in future episodes. On the flip side, much like Antonio Brown, if Tommy just paid his bills, all of this could have been avoided.

As someone who saw that leaked video with him and Rebecca Gayheart and Kari Ann Peniche, I knew right away it was a prosthetic. I am pretty sure almost all of the male nudity is prosthetics or CGI in this show.

I like Sebastian Stan and his acting is good but agree there is a charisma issue. Not sure why but as a contrast I think MGK did better as a younger Tommy in The Dirt.

I don't think today's culture has anything to do with it. Girls have been attracted to "bad boys" over guys like Ethan since forever.

Are we not getting individual threads for each episode?

I am probably in the minority but I hated the ending but enjoyed the season overall. I didn't mind the ending of the original series either as I want him to get away and keep killing other bad guys (and I am ok with the occasional good guy collateral damage. This isn't real life but an absurdist fantasy drama). I think Dexter is interesting and the way Hall plays and most importantly narrates him is extremely entertaining so I am very bummed he died. I don't get why actors hate their roles so much especially their career defining ones but I guess some get sick of them. Harrison Ford is another. I doubt he would have came back for Force Awakens if they didn't kill him off. If that were me, I would only have come back if my character lived or at least left to interpretation if they survived but I am not an actor.

Nice return. I can't recall seeing an erect dick before on an HBO show, lots of flaccid ones sure but full hard on? Maybe but I am not remembering one. A close up in HD no less. I know it was a prosthetic or CGI but that was a little shocking. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

Kinda puts Cara Maria's actions on Bloodlines in a whole new light doesnt it? Not that I thought she deserved the shaming she got but she was looking for any way out.

Yeah I like Paula but the things Laurel was saying were specifically targeted to hurt her and her only. I am of the opinion personally if you start a verbal battle, there are no limits when it comes to the other party coming back at you. Laurel is older now than Paula was and is not married and has no kids. I dont think she thinks being older and not having husband and kids is something to be ashamed of in general but knew that for Paula as an individual it was a thing that bother her. Similar to Big Easy, Laurel never starts these but she fucking ends them. Easy got off so well "easy" due to the editing. He said worse things to Laurel first but MTV conveniently edited those out and just showed Laurel's response after he started insulting her. Btw also using some of the same insults that Laurel used to Paula about having a partner and not being able to have kids as I think Laurel has a medical condition or was worried about one. In summary I am on Laurels side in both of the arguments she is most famous for. I am very happy Paula made it out of reality show hell and is by all accounts a very happy wife, mother, and has a good career and is happy. She ended up winning in the end. Easy can fuck right off. He is a cancer of a human being.

I am pretty sure they have catered food at times but also they get a per diem to order food as well. That is what Jodi was referring to. She used her per diem allotment to buy the takeout food and was apparently saving it and Ayanna just decided to eat it for...reasons? If you look you will see other takeout boxes and stuff in some shots. They are provided with a small amount of alcohol in the house but when they go out to a club or bar they have to pay for it themselves. This has lead to problems in the past most notably with CT being stuck with a huge bar bill since everyone kept putting their drinks on his tab.

I noticed how much height Clancy has lost due to age. I know it happens to all men even myself as I have lost almost 2 inches myself and he appears to have lost the same or more. Age is a MF'er.

Tyler may have done a liitle better back in his in shape trainer days when he was on roids but he had no chance against LT regardless in my opinion. He just doesn't have that compete switch that guys like Landon, LT, CT, Derrick K, etc have.

Nany's mom passed away in October so safe to say she didn't watch.

CT joined Devin because he knew that checkpoints are the most important aspect of the finals and the reason he has won them. He knows the only person close to him with puzzles is Devin so by being on the same team he ensures the other team will not be able to beat them. He also knows if it comes to something physical within the team he can beat Devin the easiest. Not sure if this was posted already but I didn't see it upthread, but Amanda went live on her OnlyFans after the show and said she was leaving either way. Apparently she got court approved leave through July 1st. However due to the extra 2 weeks in quarantine, the show ran over and if she did not return on that date, custody would be given to her baby daddy which she did not want. She was in contact with her lawyers and said they didn't know an extension could be granted or not. She said production and the whole house knew she was planning to leave regardless and she asked to be put in. She said she thinks originally the puzzle was going to be for the women but when they knew she was leaving they switched up the eliminations. That also is why TJ gave her that nice send off because they knew what she was going through and how it was for her. I think she kinda tried on the first round thinking she would do her best and if she happened to pull off a win she would let Tori take the next 2 but when she lost the first, she just did not try as hard on the second. You could tell the lack of effort on the 2nd round for sure. She gave up easily. I didn't hear it myself and have no clue how much of this is true, but that is what she is claiming and would explain some of what happened with regards to everyone voting for Amanda over a rookie and also with how TJ reacted to her leaving. I just wanted to add that I don't mean permanent custody would be given to baby daddy but that the baby would be given to him at least temporarily and she would have to fight to get him back. The baby was staying with her friend or relative from what I understand and the father had visitation only.

I am pretty sure Cory got most of those followers after being on Teen Mom. Kyle has so many from doing shows in the UK, I don't think it has grown so much due to the Challenge but was one of the reasons he was cast in the first place. Even Bananas was below CT before he started doing his other shows. But other network or show publicity can net big gains in social media followers than just doing the Challenge does overall it seems.

Kyle knows that CT is most likely going to win if he makes the final so he will do anything to be on his team. But I think he also doesn't want to piss of Devin his ACTUAL real friend in the game so he faked like he forgot the instructions and took a Sapphire dynamite hoping that if Emerald did somehow win, Devin wouldn't think he was plotting against him and would pick Nelson over him to go in. All in all for all his arguing with CT about being voted in, I think he wanted it so he could switch. It ended up working out exactly how he wanted in the end.

While I did agree production making TJ come down on them for their performance just to introduce the "twist" was lame, it has been reported that TJ often tests/tries out the missions with production too and a lot of times will run the final as well. They dont publicize this nor want it even known, but I did think Tina's response was funny considering he has probably done more missions and finals just off camera than most of the cast there.

9 people died the same way at a Pearl Jam concert in Roskilde in 2000 as well.

Yeah Emerald was clearly going to win no matter what but CT also didn't really want to win and did not really try. He needed the team to lose so he could get rid of Bettina/Amanda. I think Sapphire only lost by 2 bags which is coincidentally how many he had unless I am mistaken which is possible. On the official podcast a producer was on earlier this year and flat out said CT doesn't always try his hardest and doesn't want to win the daily missions all the time. He thinks long term and doesn't care about winning a daily unless it benefits him.

I enjoyed this ep a lot, was fun again. On a shallow note while Caity Lotz is always attractive, she was stunning in the ringmaster outfit with her hair done like that. Not sure if it was the lighting or what but I think that might be my favorite of all her looks for me personally.

Johnny is no longer on the cast. Contract issues with his other show apparently.

The spoiler sites reported before the show aired that CT was proactive in contacting the vets before they left to team up against any rookies. So he basically pulled a Wes. Very good move. CT was always smarter than he let on but also his use of substances legal and illegal impaired him using said smarts, plus I think being smart was looked down upon based on his upbringing so he learned to suppress it until he matured and it wasn't seen as a weakness (not that he is anywhere as smart as Will Hunting but some of the same dynamics were in play, that was pretty realistic in my experience as a Mass resident). He started taking the mental and puzzle stuff way more seriously in recent years though because he recognized that can be the difference maker in winning.

Hughie's butt is big not because of being out of shape or anything, he has had 2 Brazilian butt lifts to make it that big.
