I was just happy to watch Daniel Freitas cry. A poor winner and a poor loser. I was worried but am so glad that they lost. Replacement driver of Riptide, we REALLY don't need Ethan Kurtz Jr. Your "Let's go!" can get lost.

If I was Carolyn, when the women told her how "inspiring" she was, I would have asked "Then why didn't you vote for me [bitch]?" That was so insulting! I know that it's near impossible for women to work together (whether it was the "Moms Alliance" that lasted five minutes, or the "Lauren's such a powerful player that we can't vote out Yam Yam" at the end. So many opportunities for an all-female final three just squandered for no good reason.

Daniel Freitas and his toxic masculinity are abhorrent to me. I find him the most unpleasant person on BattleBots to the point that I want to punch him in the face.

i was hoping for a all-female top 5, but as usual, they can't hold it together for 5 flipping minutes. it was the perfect time to blindside Danny or break up the Three Stooges by voting the always annoying Yam Yam off my screen. The only one I want to win is Carolyn. Danny, Carson and Yam Yam are the usual smug misogynists this show loves to cast and can't be gone soon enough!

i would actually be OK with that -- wildfires are completely different from urban fires. Plus, we'd still have Manny's group vs Vince's group -- any number of substories could be told there. The bus was fairly far from the front of the train: 1 engine (about 7- feet), at least 3 cars (3 times 60 feet, or 160 feet) plus what looked like another car's length from the back of the train = over 300 feet after turning ass over teakettle. It also dodn't look like it was going 15 miles per hour -- more like 60 or so. You can't count on accuracy on a show that uses water to put out jet fuel and fights fires from the top down.

When Jeff asked Heidi a question, I literally asked my wife "Who the hell is she???" My wife didn't know either! God how I HATE it when gay men call each other "girl". You are not female -- gay men have very different struggles than women do, and considering how many gay men seem to despise women (there was a term they used for women with gay friends -- "f** h**"), just Please Stop. To be fair, so did Yam Yam. And Yam Yam was trying to vote out Josh -- Josh's only "crime" was stopping him. Jeff has always had a thing for "manly men", but has dialed back a bit since they don't go far anymore,

Totes agree that they'll make a mess of keeping this The Bode Show (compare this to S.W.A.T., owned by star Shemar Moore, but definitely an ensemble show -- Moore doesn't even appear in all episodes) now that they've brought up Bode's parole. I could easily see him jumping ranks to be the new leader of Three Rock -- he practically is anyway, Totally unbelievable plot -- most of those kids would be dead after being T-boned by a train like that. Instead the train magically launches it into the air so it comes down on the only exit. So dumb.

It's a reference to the zodiac sign. I laughed her intro music: Rock Me Like A Hurricane is by The Scorpians!

She got older -- that's something women do. And they can grow older naturally and be shamed for the wrinkles or go artificial and get shamed if anything goes wrong.

It's bad on the other side too. So many things can get you labeled as a sex offender (like urinating in public, even if you try to hide), then you're on the list for life, unlike drunk drivers, for example. The concept that no one can stop being a sex offender is stupid and offensive. Any list should be far more specific and amendable. So many police departments are thoroughly corrupt, willing to look the other way when one of their own shouldn't be a cop, that I wouldn't be surprised if there's a fair number of bullies hiding behind the "thin blue line: and the slime that make up the Police Union.

My wife knew that Fairy was Holly Robinson-Peete from the "21" clue. Pretty cool that she got to sing with Oscar the Grouch who her dad introduced. The "Ding Dong Bell" is supposed to act as a tie, while still limiting the number that go through. I thought that the Gargoyle did not deserve the bell at the time and I really wish that they had saved it for Axolotl. At least they got the costume right!

If I were the senior attorney, I would have called for an immediate side-bar and asked the judge to hold the other lawyer in contempt of court. He knew that he was being a bully by exploiting her disability which would be problematic in the best of circumstances. I'd further ask the bailiff to "squak" the chair two more times and get a plain wooden chair for the opposition.

It's very far from the silliest thing they've done on this show -- the "switcheroo" at the end of Against All Todds was pretty stupid. But the idea that Natalie Harris or the DOD would roll over on such a flimsy case, when discrediting Amy is a slam-dunk, was very weak. If the DOD wanted to keep it quiet, they would never have let it go to trial. But suspension of disbelief is an absolute MUST for this show.

The conclusion of the case ("We found a ring and some boots that were never in chain of custody had some dioxin on them which must have come from the DOD!") was lame and stupid, but the writers had painted themselves into a corner. Overall, this was a better episode than most (the only death took place waaaaay off-screen) and I did like Ava.

This week on The Bode Show: You mean "the tribute to Bode", I think. He spoke more about himself than about Rebecca. On a true ensemble show, Freddy (who knew, and was helped by, Rebecca far more} would have given the elegy. (Rebecca had to die because her interactions with Freddy were taking time away from The Bode Show. And of course, Bode Sr can get two homicidal Plot Callers to get their gangs all docile in two minutes. Best lines of the show always go to Freddy. He is, by far, the best character on this show.

Blatant racism is so much easier to exploit,

I loved Will acting like he was still on The Mole: "i'm going to 'win' this show by competing!" Apparently, no one told him what the show was about. The Black women were (as usual) extremely short-changed. Neither Colony or Diamond were given much of a chance and were unceremoniously dumped as soon as possible. Of the three "perfect match" couples, they were the least passionate to me and always felt like they always chose each other just to stay in the house. Totally not surprised that the minute she was introduced to another guy, it was "Dom who"? I felt like Kariselle and Joey were #1; Chloe and Shayne were #2; and everyone else was an also-ran. I'm sorry that Kariselle and Joey broke up (but I feel like there may still be hope for them). "Reality Whores being whores together for real" is how I described this show.

She was a Black woman literally fired for being "uppity" (which is what Sandy was saying -- via dog-whistle -- with "insubordination").

Ben was able to get the venue and the cooking equipment (not just warmers as would be used at a site like that) through the magic of PLOTTTT!!!!!

Misogynoir is real: "A Black woman has to work twice as hard to get half the recognition". The reason that Ross was there when Allissa was fired was two-fold: Sandy sucks deck-crew dick, and "hierarchy!!!" be damned, Frasier should have stood up for Allissa. Allissa worked until the last guest went down, even until 3 AM, and was up the next morning before any of the guests arose. A good captain would have heard what she said and used it for self-improvement but not bitch-ass Sandy. "Sandy Captain Sandy" is not insubordination and neither is griping about your boss in what was supposed to be private. Funny how the only time we've ever heard about "snacks" is when Allissa supposedly messed up. But, yeah, she's the worst -- so uppity! We deleted the season as soon as she left the boat -- we don't support casual racism.

Nope. I don't care if he's not even mentioned at all. I'm done with this show until they're done with him.

I'm done with this show until Elijah is dead. If I'd been there, I'd have popped Elijah dead in the street, shot one of his goons in the leg and told the other to bring the body into the house, unless he wanted more, Then set the stage to make it look like Elijah shot first. "Anyone have a problem with this" Yeah, I didn't think so!" Then I'd make sure that the ass-wipe who kicked the bottle was physically unable to be a cop anymore. Last, shoot Long and Sleepless' Rhodas' plane out of the sky as well. Just YUCK!

I thought that Danny was the older brother?

In theory. having a new, clean and renewable source of energy should have vast repercussions in the future. Including how QL gets its energy. I think (but I'm not sure) that the first time that he leapt into a woman's body, he made some comment about having breasts (possibly about wearing a bra). Talking about other bits, or having more comments about body differences wouldn't work with the tone of the show.

She is a white woman from a well-to-do family which would greatly reduce her sentence.
