Wow, that broad was a real piece of work. I can't add much more to what the rest of you have already said. And I'm totally disgusted that she got such light jail time for what was a really brutal and pre-planned murder. If that had been a man who pumped 8 bullets into his wife, he'd be doing life without parole. And yes, she did look so much like Kirsten Dunst (and when I said that to my 74 year SO, he said, "who's that?"). And it really is mind blowing to know that somebody is plotting a murder and you don't call either the police or the intended victim. That interview with Andrea was great - usually not a big Andrea fan but she nailed it there.

Does Katrina Law have a martial arts background? Was that really her doing that fight scene - if so, she has some awesome moves!

Looks like I guessed the winner. And I read that FOX has given the go-ahead for Season 2, which I won't be watching as I've come to the conclusion that "Competitive Reality" shows are not my thing. That being said, I would have very happily eaten any of the meat dishes as well as Pyet's appy.

Carolyn defected to Russia??? How and when did that happen? And I thought she was in Spain when that young twerp came in to see her.

I guess that I'm the party pooper here; I wasn't really enjoying this episode. The case of the week was interesting, the Delilah side story was ok (and she wasn't annoying) but I didn't like the Jada Pinkett Smith character. The concept of Robyn having to enlist the aid of a Master Art/Jewel thief was fine but I didn't like the "crazy" in Jessie. "Chaos" may work for Jessie - it didn't work for me. There was also too much jabbering back and forth between Robyn and Jessie and I was watching and saying to my TV "Shut up already and get the heist on!" Sheesh. Loved, loved, loved Mel's "Rich" look and Robyn & Jessie's evening gowns. And whoever does the makeup on this show does a great job. When the ladies have to look every day they look great, and when they have to get glammed up, yowza! the NCIS and Dick Wolf shows should take notice.

Interesting the different slant Dateline had on this case as opposed to 48 Hours a few weeks back. Dateline seemed to have left out a lot of the info we found out about on 48 Hours and seemed to lean in the direction of leaving the viewer with some doubt that he did it (the victim's siblings feelings just the opposite). If the husband gets off, it's going to be a) no body has been found, and b) the reasonable doubt of the DNA on the inside of her car. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't 48 Hours say that the DNA was only a partial match to some guy who was a multiple sex offender? Dateline made it seem that it was , oh okay, we got a DNA match of a known sex offender in the victim's car. Dateline also didn't go into the details of the victim's affair as much as 48 Hours did (motive) and I don't think brought up that recording device disguised as a pen which the victim bought to use to prove her husband was cheating but which exposed that she was cheating. I still think that he did it.

This was almost painful to watch. The story was weird, the music way too loud and too intrusive, and way too many commercials (which we know going in, so this show is DVR only in my home). Yeah, so Eve is getting laid by a hunky guy. We get it. Villanelle is still full blown psycho - she might have killed the cat by accident but to try and drown that young woman who was obviously taken with her? No, Villanelle hasn't changed, but seems to have reverted. I really hope the rest of the series is better because watching this is going to be a slog if it isn't. I can't begin to convey the disappointment as "Killing Eve" had been one of my favorite shows.

It's an absolute miracle that Katrina survived what happened to her. Talk about a harrowing story and this woman's will to live and also to eventually thrive. She should be giving talks about domestic abuse. Hopefully, her book will generate talk about the subject. And there was a story in the NY Daily News today about a 23 year young woman from Staten Island who had been dating a cop (whose father was a high ranking NYC cop) and who died by supposed suicide using her boyfriend's service gun in 2003. Her mother had never thought that her daughter had killed herself and had been pressing for years to get the case reopened. The original police work had been fast and sloppy to say the least. The cop boyfriend called it in and the "investigation" was basically, "Oh, yeah, ok, she shot herself in the head with your gun", case closed. The cop boyfriend wound up retiring a few years back with a shoulder injury and a tax free pension of almost 70k a year. Oh, yeah, and a few days before her "suicide", the victim had decided to leave the boyfriend.

Good episode. Leslie Odom Jr comes across as an intelligent and thoughtful person. And it always makes me shake my head when we see the white slaveowner who fathered a child with one of his slaves. So the Black people were inferior and considered not quite human (a large part of the rational behind American slavery) yet they were totally fine to have sex with and have the SLAVEOWNER'S child who could then be added to the asset bottom line. As a human you just want to hang your head in shame and disgust. I don't consider myself the most "woke" person in the room but it just makes me so sad to know that it took a civil war to end slavery in the US. And count me as another person who until very recently thought Nathan Lane was Jewish. I had read an article about him and it mentioned that he was of Irish descent and I went, "huh?" He seems like a person who always feels the need to be "on" when in front of an "audience" (meaning when he is not working as an actor). He is very witty but a bit too much for this show. Yes! I agree that HLG and his "how does that make you feel?" over and over again is tired beyond belief! It's like it should be a question on Jeopardy: "His catchphrase is 'how does it make you feel?'" Postscript: since many of us who watch this show enjoy history, The History Channel is running a very good 3 part mini-series about Abraham Lincoln. There's a million commercials so DVR it and watch it after the fact, but like the previous two History Channel President mini-series, it's very well done and interesting.

Yup, I agree 100%. And yeah the gold leaf - I think that is "something" in Indian cooking, used for very special events. I guess with everything having to be OTT nowadays on these TV shows, it's like add something to the dish that is totally unnecessary, super-expensive, to give it some kind of idiot "wow" factor, because maybe it impresses somebody willing to pay $$$ for a dinner out in Vegas. So now that we're almost at the end of this show, my bet is going to be on Pyet for the winner. Lets check some marketing boxes here: she is young (30), she is very attractive, she is already on social media so she knows how to play that angle, she is Native American and cooking foods that are part of that tradition (which right now seems much cooler than somebody cooking their great grandma's sauerbraten) and she seems to have a pleasant personality without a lot of drama. She isn't a "pro" chef and she doesn't come across as being arrogant or a kitchen know-it-all, which would maybe make it easier to "mentor" her in the chef world. As far as Mariah and Reuel - they'll probably be offered jobs in somebody's restaurant and they can still be known as the semi-finalists on Next Level Chef. And to be petty here - is anybody else bugged by Mariah's makeup (the false eyelashes more than anything)? I can understand wanting to look glamourous on TV but it kind of makes me think of the 1950s ads showing the housewife decked out in pearls and high heels vacuuming the floor or stirring the pot on the stove. You're standing over steaming pots and hot stoves and chopping onions and you're wearing makeup more suitable to going to a nightclub. No. Just no.

An ok enough episode I guess. These Dick Wolf shows are the modern day equivalent of watching some moral hand-wringer back in the 30s. In last night's episode it was OA and his wrestling with personal right and wrong. Frankly, I think that OA and the older agent should have been interviewed at different times for obvious reasons. Maybe OA would have been more forthcoming about what really happened if he didn't have the other guy in the same room with him. And speaking of OA, I like the actor but he looks as if he's taking acting lessons from the Mariska Hargitay school of bad acting. Check out his facial expressions and his body motions when he is trying to show frustration or surprise or anger. Then go watch L & O SVU.

I had seen this case previously (I think on Dateline). Its another obvious case where the husband did it but whether he will be convicted without a body remains to be seen. I just really, really, wish that young people would be educated in school about the dangers of abusive, controlling partners. I've read so many times that the person is in the most danger when they decide to leave. It's a damn shame that May didn't quietly make her plans to escape and finally take the kids, grab a bag and go someplace safe. Too many partner abused people seem to have the idea that the abusive party would never REALLY try to kill them and be stupid about telling the abuser that they're leaving. The night before we watched "48 Hours", we watched a movie called "Star 80" about Playboy covergirl Dorothy Stratten. She was murdered by her controlling abusive husband when she met with him at home to tell him that she wanted a divorce. When her lover advised her against going to the house and she did it anyway, I was yelling at the tv , "No! No!" but unfortunately she did and paid with that mistake with her life.

I haven't been under the impression that Nyesha is a Gordon Ramsay type of hothead. Methinks this was all staged for "drama". And did anybody else notice how Trisha smiled an awful lot? Like she'd be racing to grab food and have this big smile on her face, and be taken to task by Nyesha and still have a smile on her face. It was weird. Anyway, I'm glad that we've finally seen the end of her, and I think that as stated on the last episode thread the winner is probably going to be Pyet, with Mariah and Ruel as the runners up. The way this show is being edited is leaning towards that. But who knows? We may have a big spoiler where one of the other ladies makes the top three, but I think the winner is going to be Pyet.

Another episode that was interesting and where I had no clue who one of the people was (Lena Waite). I've been a fan of John Leguizamo for almost 30 years - he's just such an amazing talent. And it's eye opening that his father came from a father that had all sorts of money but since he was only a "natural" son, and apparently not acknowledged, he had to find his own way in life. I wouldn't doubt if he had an inkling of who his father was and it must have stung. There might be some really good reasons why John Leguizamo might feel more comfortable in character than as "himself". And as an aside - nobody is commenting on HIS Noo Yawk accent - LOL. Although I'd say his is more how most of us downstate Noo Yawkers speak as opposed to Tony Danza and his old style Brooklyn honk. And I do know people of his age who speak like that. Don't get me started on Cyndi Lauper though - nobody has sounded like that in the Bronx since Clara Bow left town.

Good episode and thanks to all who mentioned that Abernathy was played by "Flambeau". It was driving me nuts the entire episode trying to figure out where I'd seen that actor before. Yes and his accent slipped a few times but that seems to be the case on so many of these British shows when they feature a British actor trying to play American in guest parts. Seems as if they aren't able to pay for the "talent" that can do that in these small parts. The actor who played Bass Reeves was good though. I'm wondering if there is some mystery with the female stagecoach shotgun rider? She couldn't really be Estella? Or was she just put there to flirt with Fogg so we could see his discomfort with it? And I think that we will see Estella as part of the New York City leg of the trip. Maybe Bellamy is in contact with her and will use her to win the bet? And not tying Bass Reeve's horse to the stagecoach bugged the hell out of me. Horses were very valuable pieces of property back then (you could be hanged for stealing one) - no way, one would have been left behind. Also, I didn't pick up on the show being filmed in Europe because of the horses' leg action but I kept thinking to myself that those were some really fancy horses for an old west stagecoach, and you also don't keep galloping horses forever or they'll drop from exhaustion. I have to keep telling myself this is "fiction" and to just enjoy the obvious fantasy of it all. Can't believe that it's almost over...

Another enjoyable episode and an interesting choice of who the bad guys were. My only complaint is in the soap opera ending. Why does this show have to go THERE? I really don't care about Max's love life - I want to see crime solving, not stupid love triangles. At this point, I'd rather him wash his hands of both women and save that kind of drama for the cases. Anyway, I really hope that the show is renewed and we get to see more of it in the future.

Amie Harwick - what a sad story. I wonder if Gareth Pursehouse had ever been arrested for physical battery and/or violating the orders of protection when he was abusing Amie years ago, and if not, why? It's also a shame that after the incident at the red carpet event when it became apparent that this guy was completely unhinged that she just didn't jump on a plane and get out of L.A. for a while. It sounds as if she didn't have a good security system at her home and maybe that she just really didn't want to believe that she was in that kind of danger. The mind-boggling thing is that the psycho might actually wind up getting off scott free. One would hope that a Los Angeles jury would be smarter than that, but then again,..

Glad to see I'm not the only one feeling this way. Is she supposed to represent everybody who is wracked with insecurity but with enough "attaboys" gains enough self-confidence where she can Triumph? Yecch to that. I also think that Chicago Redshirt is on to something. And if it goes the way CR is predicting, then you know the fix was in.

I really enjoyed this episode although I had no idea who Terry Crewes is. And I also assumed that his father was dead from the way they talked about him and also happy to see that his grandmother is still alive. At my age, it's beginning to give me pause when I see people on the show whose GRANDPARENTS were younger than my parents (both deceased). And I agree 100% with iMoney above about Tony Danza's hair! I kept saying, "Guy, it's not 1975 any more - get a freakin' haircut!". It just looks bad - not flattering at all.

I really love this show and wished that it got more notice. Seems like a "sleeper" and I don't understand why PBS doesn't advertise it more. Only one episode to go and I want more!

I think you make some good points. I had forgotten that Reuel had been the person hectoring the person in the elimination round that her salmon "burger" should be an inch and a half thick, and than Gordan Ramsay wound up saying there was too much salmon for the sandwich. Makes you wonder if it was a sabotage move or he actually thought he was giving good advice. I'll keep watching this show as I'm curious as to who is going to win it but I doubt if I'd watch a 2nd season. I'm also going to add that the show is a commercial for Gordan Ramsay's new line of cookware. I'm badly in need of a new pan and have been looking at cookware on line and now my FB feed has an ad for the cookware at least once a day. Everything has a marketing tie-in - you can't get away from it!

Another good episode and just have to say that David Tennant is such a good actor - I don't think I've ever seen him in anything where you don' t think of him as not being who he is playing. I would have really liked to have seen how the bad guy (don't remember his name) got the three of them on the life boat. And count me as somebody else who thinks that we'll be seeing Estrella on this trip. There is probably going to be a twist concerning her somewhere. And I also hope that Fix's father lives to see her return as it seems as if they are building up for something bad to happen to him.

A puzzling case. I got the feeling that what 48 Hours showed us was meant for us to think that Todd was innocent and got railroaded into jail. Personally, I thought him changing his story so many times in regards to whose car he was going to be fixing was hinky. Also, why not just drop your wife off to work and then go fix the windshield - why make her late for her job? And I noticed that there were two holes in the windshield - ok, so lets buy that the pipe went through the windshield but you'd think it would go through once, not twice. Also, that the car was shown on the horse farm security footage but no truck in sight. It appears to me that Todd beat the holy hell out of his wife and then staged this "accident". I wish there had been some apparent motive though. They may have appeared happy on the outside but you never know what goes on behind closed doors. As far as the kids thinking everything was just peachy keen between their parents, I've been in enough group therapy to know that parents (especially mothers) don't tell their kids everything and do plenty of coverups for Dad's misdeeds. And many abused women do their best to hide it from everybody - kids, parents and friends.

Trying hard not to look at the spoiler. At home, I called the winner of the cook-off. This is the first time I've ever watched a cooking "reality" competition show so I'm talking out of my butt here, but what is the end game other than the 250K prize money? Is it a shot at a cooking tv show or to work for one of the judges or ???? If it's to get a tv show, I'll tell you off the bat who isn't going to win - the two black guys and the middle aged blond home cook. Why? The two guys seem very serious but they are both quiet and not showboaters. They cook, get the job done and both seem very competent but neither has "TV or social media personalities". Either one might be offered a job working in a Gordon Ramsey establishment but to win the prize, no. The middle aged blond lady might be a really good home cook but again, doesn't seem the type to be a hit on TV and I doubt if she could handle the stress of working in a busy restaurant. Ok, so who is now left? The tall black lady might be a spoiler here. She looks a bit old(er) to be on a TV show but she is attractive and and seems to have something going on beneath the surface. I could possibly see the younger black woman winning - she already works as a chef and is very good-looking. She is also very intense and again, serious about what she is doing. Could see her being offered a job with Ramsay or one of the other judges. The end game here is the question for me. And that leaves us with who? Pyet, who I can see winning because she had the bubbly personality, can cook, and is on social media. She is also young and pretty and those are always big pluses. I don't remember the other young lady's name, but I'd put her in the same category as Pyet. Could they cancel each other out? As far as the crybaby goes - OMG, if she wins, you know this show is fixed to the hilt. I think it's all a big act. She gave up a 6 figure job for what? Cooking on social media? Gimme a f-ing break here folks - and then she is going to pieces at the least little thing? I don't buy it, unless the true story is that she couldn't cut it in her 6 figure job and wound up cooking on social media because she couldn't figure out what else to do with her life. I'm very cynical about these competition shows. I watched Season 1 Masked Singer and that was such an obvious fix that I didn't go back for the next seasons (goofy fun that it is). Those of you who watch these cooking shows might have a totally different take where this is headed - I'd love to know your opinions.

I'm really enjoying this show. In a way its beginning to remind me of an old 60s show called "Route 66" where a couple of friends hit the road in a very cool car and wind up in different towns and get involved in somebody's personal drama and it all works out in the end. When our heroes finally return to England, I'm really hoping the bad guy (Lord Snake In The Grass) gets his ass kicked. Bankruptcy won't be enough.
