I was hoping Cordell would win, point out how flimsy Denise's evidence was and offer to give back the Davidson's land minus the 20 acres in exchange for dropping the charges. Why is it nobody including Liam the smart attorney; explored how adverse possession could be applied (it likely could, in Texas, under the right circumstances, the Walker's could claim that land after ten years). Agreed, and Augie was stupid for going along with it. That or he's honest to a fault (that kid should NEVER play Poker!). The whole feud story line is just not interesting. It could be in limited doses, as a side story but this is sliding into soap opera territory. They don't need these heavy plots and twists to carry the show. It's a crazy idea but Walker is a Texas Ranger, maybe he could actually go out and catch bad guys from time to time? I could like the show, I do like the show a lot of the time but these Walker family drama plots are dragging it down by overshadowing a lot of the other characters and making things unbalanced.

It's allowed if they pass the medical tests so they can safely compete with whatever underlying condition they have and if it's something they can be given at the location. Thyroid medication would be a good example. And Tina Wesson took medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis the whole time she was on the show, she said medical would bring each dose and she was allowed just enough of a sip of water to swallow it (so she wouldn't even get an unfair advantage of more hydration than the rest).

I love doing escape the room app games but count the triangles (squares whatever) is one puzzle I hint right past. I just can't do them and they take me so long I get too impatient. That and slide puzzles, I even hated those as a kid when you got those cheap plastic versions in grab bags and such. I liked Jackson, he was definitely an early favorite. Very much hoping they bring him back on another season. To be clear on the Lithium thing - he didn't disclose it earlier because he thought it wouldn't matter, he thought he'd be completely weaned and cleared from it by the time shooting started. He told them about it late because he didn't get weaned off in time after all and that changed things. Should he have said up front "this what I'm on, this is the plan to get off it" though? Probably yes. I thought there'd be no vote at all because I thought Daniel was going to be out. He was hanging his arm at the immunity challenge and I thought his shoulder was out again but they never said a word about it. This is the first season in awhile that I see people I want to root for right from the start. I did like Zach a bit but he wasn't at the top of the list and I don't know how he'd be long term. I was on board when they briefly talked about getting Rocksroy out though - if I were in camp with him I don't know how long I could bite my tongue and play the social game. His attitude when they were building shelter was one thing, there's always that player who comes on strong and takes a team lead role early on. But he crossed a line and lost me when he told; not asked, told, (more like demanded) Swati "wash those things you call shoes" He and Lydia rub me the wrong way but for different reasons.

I liked the Jimmy Buffet plot; I think Danny bought the dinner for bragging rights "I once bought Jimmy Buffet dinner when I saw him at this bar". Fun story/memory for later. But what I liked more was the guy running circles around Danny - the Detective that plows over everyone try's to arrest the guy and instead gets let me show you this paper, loophole, loophole, loophole then he walks away smiling and Danny just stands there. It may have been a throw away time waste story but it still had me laughing so much. Although to be fair the concert discussion at dinner had me laughing more, that was pretty good too.

I keep thinking how pathetic it is if the reason the child was wandering was that Jana fell asleep. And I don't mean that Jana is pathetic I mean the situation - This is a 31 year old single women buried in a family of super breeders. We have no idea what her day to day responsibilities are but we've seen her on the show and in news stories watching the younger siblings and managing the house; watching nieces and nephews, going on shopping trips and wrangling the kids while Mom and Dad browse and going on trips with the married couples just to be an extra babysitter. We know she tends her garden for real (it's not just a TV stunt garden), she helps school the younger kids and I don't think it's a stretch to say she likely took on chores that Grandma Duggar used to do. So what's really pathetic is she's been raised to believe that this is her responsibility in life until she's married. Instead of the family having as many kids as they can handle and primarily raising those kids themselves they allow her to be the dumping ground for childcare. I think the poor girl is just plain exhausted and it caught up with her at the worst time.

Filming is already done but the network keeps pushing airings back, it was supposed to be summer 2020 then fall 2020 then this summer now it's "probably late 2021 or early 2022". I really want to see it but at this point it's been so long I have no hope for it to go further than airing season 2 or ever getting a season 3 at all. Matt Barr really deserves more attention than the gets, it's a shame he was used as the convenient red shirt family friend to give Walker more survivor angst. Couldn't Geri have dropped by the ranch and gotten caught in the middle of the gunfight instead? Pretty good episode for what would have been the first season finale if the network hadn't ordered additional episodes based on ratings. I still think they threw too many plots and people into the show too fast. And I definitely think they need to give both kids especially Stella some extra brains in the trusting people/think before taking action department. Still it's early in the shows life and it's a fun watch, at least for now.

Delilah wants to move to France because there she's not the sad widow/cheater that everyone knows. I hate to break it to her but she could accomplish the same thing moving to Lenox with Darcy. How well known does she think she and John were? Outside of her friend group in Boston she's a nobody. That said I have to admit I loved the scene with her and Gary - it was very well acted and also good in a way to see both of them blow their tops and have an actual fight not a polite, slightly irritated discussion. I've been thinking for awhile they should have just given Eddie visitation and partial custody as long as he took and passed regular drug tests. I can't believe it took them this long to come up with that; at least they both seem to be coming down from trying to take the "fight dirty" road. As far as Peter goes - I was wondering if Gary's little revenge attack was going to end up backfiring on Sophie. She of course doesn't know what he was planning and he didn't know about the podcast. But she named Peter to any and all listeners and if he ends up severely beaten he could say, especially with lack of police charges, that she defamed him and that her statement set vigilantes on him. If Gary is going to beat the guy up I hope he brought gloves - having a great alibi doesn't get you far if you leave fingerprints along with having some bruised and bloody knuckles.

Mary was over the top terrible to Missy - she could have at least paused to find out why her daughter was sobbing hysterically instead of just reacting. I think by the time she got to Missy's room she didn't care because she was so worked up she took her whole day out on her daughter who just made an easy target. It certainly looks like George and his cheating is going to be part of the show to match adult Sheldon's stories about his Dad. Interesting twist that it could be Brenda though. There was one other connection to adult Sheldon I'm not seeing mentioned much. It was sweet of Georgie to make Mom dinner but it also ties into the argument adult Sheldon and Georgie had when he tried to convince Georgie to come to his wedding. Georgie said at the time that after Dad died he had to step up and support Mom not just financially but emotionally too and Sheldon never knew because he was still a kid and off at college (which also cost Mom extra money and she didn't want Sheldon to know she struggled with that). I think him bringing that soup was the first hint of that kid turned adult who will step up when the time comes.

That's the one I just read that lead me here to see what people were saying. Honestly it was so disgusting I couldn't even bring myself to quote any part of it to comment; even the investigators said it was in the top five worst types a person could access. But outside what he looked at which I don't even want to think about I need to say I'm disgusted at the judge for allowing visits with his kids in his release as long as Anna Is There. That should not be, that girl is so far in the cult she can not be fully trusted - not that I think she would allow or encourage Josh to do anything just that she does not have a spine of her own and I don't trust what he might sneak by her and her inability to say "No" to her headship. It should have been no contact or contact only with an outside party like a social worker present at all times. Also about where the stuff was on his computer - he is both sneaky and stupid at the same time. He split his hard drive to hide the files from the porn monitor that was installed and he password protected it. Sneaky. Then he used a password that he's used on other accounts like his banking and that includes his birth date. Stupid. I truly hope law enforcement didn't and doesn't mess up here and has a clear line of evidence to present.

Both the family statement and Jeremy’s are pretty damning, they didn’t try to say they stand by Josh or his name will be cleared soon. Family went with The truth “No matter what it is” and Jer with “Fully support the judicial process”"........Neither of those scream we’re on his side or we deny things which is pretty telling. To go further I’ll take this to Jill’s thread but for here.....not long ago I read how Derrick had apparently encouraged her to go to therapy and that came around the same time she started wearing pants, drinking wine, avoiding the TTH and so on. He’s also declined to make any statement about the arrest; sounds like as much as we can’t stand Derrick a lot of the time he had Josh’s number long ago and has been trying to get Jill out of the FOG of her upbringing and forced relationship with her abuser.

I liked it but didn't love it.........yet. I think pilot episodes always need the benefit of the doubt, characters to introduce, background, main plot. Some do it better than others but it's usually them throwing a huge amount of info at us. Will definitely keep watching and see where it goes and how they build it up from here. But I do have to complain about one thing - the sound. Some of the characters seemed harder to hear than others but I also heard static and some breaks in the sound so I don't know if it was them or technical issues on that part. But they can control the music; did it really need to be over just about every single scene? It seemed constant to the point of distraction. And who thought it was a good idea to have an actual song with a singer while Walker was confronting his daughter at the gazebo? Music adding drama is fine but trying to hear the two actual actors talking while hearing a third voice from the singer was really distracting and seemed like a poor choice.

The writers need to decide if they want consistency in their characters or if they want each member of the family to have their own plot/story in each episode. It really bothered me how out of character Frank was - there is no way that with an officer shot, in surgery and possibly not going to make it that he would be hanging out in the gym with the disabled detective. In any other episode Abby or Garret bursts in, tells Frank the news, grabs his coat for him and Frank is straight off to the hospital. For pity's sake he's walked out on the Mayor and Governor to "be with my men" as he puts it. There had to be a way to handle having Frank manage his story of the week and acknowledge that one of his officers was gravely wounded but to not mention it at all even a "I just came from the hospital" throw away line was a huge mistake.

Just watched the Jinger gives birth episode (airing tonight 12/23 but available on TLC Go in advance). I really hate their decisions here, much more than usual. I'm assuming everyone had Covid tests, probably multiples but I question why did both sets of Grandparents minus Boob have to be there and worse why in the world did Michelle need to take Jordan with her. To a hot spot on its way to lockdown, on a plane then back home where they're in contact with the rest of the family. I seriously doubt they quarantined properly when they got home. I don't care where you are on the virus belief spectrum from grocery shopping in a hazmat suit to protesting masks there's a certain example set with these people among their serious followers and Michelle and Jordan taking that risk and Jinger and Jer allowing it seems terribly irresponsible. On a side note there's a point in the episode when they're in the kitchen and you can see the wall at the base of the stairs. Look closely at that - it is two full shoe racks of sneakers, just sneakers. And going by size the mostly look like Jer's. Seriously there must be 30+ pairs there, I have never in my life seen anyone who is not playing professional sports with that many sneakers. I'd say it's weird but I think for him it's par for his narcissistic course. There is always good with the bad though - the new baby is cute, Felicity is adorable and the name isn't horrible although I wonder if they'll just call her Evie or Eve or if she'll have the double "Evie-Jo" name permanently.

I'm torn between two plots - One that he went after Eddie in a fit of anger after the confrontation at the lake and he's calmed down now and feels guilty about it but doesn't know how to make it right or confess what he did. Two that his anger hasn't gone away at all and he's trying to get close enough to Eddie to finish what he started when he hit him with the truck. Those are sort of two opposite ends of the rope and each could be likely but if either are where they're going with this I'm honestly not sure which story I want to see, the guilty but can't confess is, as you said, needlessly melodramatic but then again the "I'm going to finish him off if I can get close enough to him" idea seems a little too soap opera. Katherine and Eddie just need to talk. What happened when they left the house was terrible for him but it's mostly just planning and the "new normal", it wouldn't hurt to say hey we need a checklist and routine for each day to make sure things are in order and where they need to be. The home health aide can help with that but please do not let this person be connected to the characters in any way or some sort of terrible borderline abusive person. Could we get someone like Howie from Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist for the role? For that matter could we actually get Zak Orth to do a little cross over and reprise his role even if it is a different network? I don't hate Delilah but I guess I don't care much about her either since the idea of her possibly being off the show while she's in Paris, if she goes, doesn't seem to bother me at all. On the other hand was anyone at all actually fooled into thinking she was making that offer to the boyfriend not her Dad? One of the worst fake outs ever.

Asher is quickly becoming a favorite of mine; he's a good actor and a good character both. I know most watchers don't like Leah and Shawn as a couple but I did like that she recognized that he needed to be at the hospital for that patient and she was kind about it. It's better than the usual, "you put your career over our relationship" drama that couples usually get stuck with. Complaint about Morgan though - shows of course take liberties with reality vs fiction but there has to be a middle ground - in her scenes on the hospital stairs with Park her shirt sleeves were wildly distracting. There is no way any doctor wears a shirt with huge oversized frilly cuffs. They not only hung past the end of her coat but went all the way down to her knuckles....very impractical and unsanitary. I'm sure the costume department can make them look fashionable without being ridiculous.
