Yesterday, I watched a new (to me) episode of Paranormal: Caught on Camera that began with the laughable nightcrawler cryptid caught on camera around the time he found a dead mutilated deer in his yard, at which point I rolled my eyes because animal mutilations have been debunked some time ago. So I watched the footage and sure enough, noticed at the other side of the frame was some car headlights. Seriously, guys? There was one intriguing footage of a woman experiencing poltergeist activity and a shadowman peeking out from her kitchen door. Shadowmen footage give me the creeps! Lastly, there was footage of Bigfoot lurking behind a clump of trees and shrubbery that looked like a bear but the footage was too blurry, of course, and I'm assuming the ground behind the shrubbery was actually not level with the ground in front. In this night shot, they alleged the two deer are watching it.

Well, that wasn't very good...

The guy with Elton John in the commercial.

A Marylin Manson poser.

I'm not sure I remember either, but I think there was a scene where Charli was playing with their dog at the party. Hokey smokes! It must be at least ten times worse being married to Scheana. Something with "Toms'" in the name, like "Toms' Diner", "Chez Toms'", etc? Tom and Tom's? T and T's? Wait, they're not on the show? I swear I saw them! 🤔

I thought it was me, but I was underwhelmed and my attention began to wander about 3/4 of the way thru. I'm not very interested in watching these young parents who probably no longer work for successful businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks' various bars and restaurants. Even worse, I had trouble remembering anything worth mentioning, but here goes nothing: Lisa Vanderbucks, her husband, and the Tom's reunite while preparing to reopen. TBH, I thought things were still on lockdown there. The Toms are fretting about successful restauranteur Lisa Vanderbucks finding out about them opening a business on their own. Yeah, right. She knows and she probably is a silent partner of some sort because I cannot imagine them having the capital or ability to do this on their own. Them wanting to install double-decker booths only reinforced this feeling. Schwartz and Katie tried to be parents, like their friends, and failed. Schwartz, I adore you, but you and Tequila Kate would be terrible parents! James has been sober for two years now, but smokes pot every day and takes "pre-workout vitamins". Did he let slip he was drinking when he and Max got into a stupid fight over sharing a plate of pasta? Schwartz & Sandy’s is an awful name. Katie, who totally looks like a Karen (who was that candid reality show bitch with eight children who had the same style?) hates the name too and thinks she can be a manager there. Isn't her Frump & Frown blog keeping her busy? Schemer got herself a man and a baby. I was amused by her poster-sized photos covering the walls where the poster-sized photos of she and Shay used to be. LaLa continues to be thirsty, crass, and gross. 🤢 Master negotiator Lisa Vanderbucks forces Max and James to meet so the latter can DJ at Sur and have a reason to be on this show, but Max isn't cooperating for now and things get worse. Oh no, will they ever become friends again? 🙄 Schemer has a lame "pink and black" birthday party with a magician as entertainment. How old is she? Naturally, people pair off for some mandatory conflict. 🙄 What is the deal with Arianna's childish mocking act? So tedious! Raquel should be more concerned about DJ Muppet Baby's rage issues. I'm not sure which is worse, Schemer getting slapped on the butt in the "music video" last season or seeing her in the only tight hot pink dress that still fit her. I'm not sure I'm going to watch this season or not, but nothing else seems to be on Tuesday nights. 🤔

Well, that wasn't very interesting. I'm glad it's not just me. On a related note, I'm glad I'm not the only person who gained weight during the pandemic lockdown. I'll post more when I remember what happened (I think I zoned out near the end).

I just remembered the reason Lois went blind was because the LASIK clinic had a cat on the premises. 🤣

This one was adequate, but I lost interest by the time Lois appeared on the Helen Disingenuous Show. Heh. I cannot remember much else, other than thinking Lois has done this before.

There's a Citibank credit card commercial with Jennifer Garner giving her spiel in front of a classroom (during what I assume is parent-teacher day). At one point, she uses a marker to draw a circle around a map of the world that's hanging in front of the class, but I cannot help but notice she's not really drawing anything; it's a post-production effect!

I'm really getting tired of seeing that gross commercial everywhere. It's a good start...

In the Little Caesar's commercial for their pizza/calzone hybrid which takes in a boardroom meeting, what disturbing things was he saying about his ass?

I have no recollection of this episode. I must have stopped watching for a season or two or three. Lala has a crippling "panic attacks" for the camera. 🙄 Wait, did they play the previous episode again by mistake? I don't know a lot about panic attacks, but I am very skeptical that crowding around, cradling, and stroking her would be good for one. My theory is that she drank too much and was covering for it, plus getting extra camera time as a bonus. I enjoyed it when successful businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks dressed her down (pardon the pun) for what she was wearing at the hostess stand but then I remembered their normal uniforms aren't that much better. Was this a little bit of "acting" for our benefit? 🤔 Watching "battered" Beau blubbering in bed was cringe-worthy. Holy déjà vu! I was amused by Raquel the nitwit begging people to come to she and DJ Muppet-baby's lame "puppy shower", but the way some people declined looked like kicking a puppy. I'm not sure which is worse, not knowing who Charlie Manson was, or thinking the Underground Railroad was a subway. I despise Billie and always have. It must be exhausting having to deal with the constant sturm und drang this singularity of need carries around. That said, I enjoyed watching Brittany struggling to explain why Billie hadn't been invited without being accused of "transphobia" and having an tantrum. I also enjoyed inclusive and tolerant businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks reading the riot act to Billie for making that scene. Billie, you knew what you were getting into when you joined this show: you get a chance for exposure for your acting career and she gets the opportunity to show everyone how magnanimous she is for hiring a trans hostess. One doesn't bite the hand that feeds them, eh? Schwartz laying a trail of rose petals and junk food to their bed was cute. I find it hard to believe that successful businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks scheduled Flat-Iron Tom for a shift at SUR and had to "fire" him to make him work at Tom Tom. That whole bit seemed strangely staged and symbolic to me.

I guess the Friday marathon of Ghost Adventures is now on Wednesdays?

What kind of casserole are you going to give her?

I joined this episode in a marathon yesterday but have no recollection of it. I must have stopped watching for a season or two or three. Ugh, I forgot how much of a crass poser LaLa is! Yeah, yeah, you're tough and "gangsta" yet suckle baby bottles and have crippling "panic attacks" for the camera. 🙄 Was it in her first season that someone called her bluff and she ran home to her mother in UT for a week? I remember Britney's doctor telling her to quit drinking and assumed she'd ignore his advice, so no surprise there. Watching "battered" Beau blubbering in bed was cringe-worthy, but then I noticed the microphone wire taped to his shaven chest... 🤔

Wasn't there commercials in which everyone thought Flo was a maid?

He's Eugene Levy (from SCTV)'s gay son. I cannot say whether he's as funny because I have never watched Schitt's Creek. I hate that commercial. HATE it! I mean, really, you know it's a business party because you're asking your friend about the frumpy outfit you want to wear and you think you hear her tell you to wear the most outlandish costume you can and don't even bother to question it? I blame the cookie for repeating the answer they told him is incorrect.

I noticed they've been playing old episodes while the cast watches and comments lately.

What was that yogurt commercial from last decade featuring an Old World woman calling the women wearing swimsuits "filthy whores"? I myself wondered why getting her some french fries made her a great wedding planner.

I don't mind Dan Levy, but I am getting tired of seeing him.

I think that's Deon Sanders. Annie Murphie, the popular Canadian 1970's singer?😲

I guess someone just invented the beefy version of the "chicken or the egg?" question.

I noticed there was a marathon Wednesday night, including a "Top Ten Ghosts Caught on Tape" special episode. Unfortunately, there were audio issues, but I think they put them in reverse order because the last ones weren't nearly as convincing and were more obviously artifacts or cast by passing car headlights.
