  1. Yeah, John Cena and especially Nicole Byer are not a patch on John & John from the previous Wipeout. It was all falling flat for me. And why is Cena looking slightly off? It's unnerving.

  2. Barry: "Felipe was trying to heal, just like the rest of us"

    Iris: "He died a hero"

    [Half an earlier in the show] "Hero" Felipe brutally murders a man using cards burying into him.

    Me: "OK then"

    So Barry talks Abra Kadabra down from murdering an entire city using...

    [Celine Dion starts singing] Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn about the power of love...

    Oh well, at least he got taken out using a monster brought to life using 90s CGI.

    Are we ever going to get an answer about Megan Boone? Is she not coming back? What's going on?

    I'm not complaining. She's the worst part about the show. I just wish they'd move on from storylines involving her.

  4. Right, I gave this show three episodes, but now I have to bail. 

    Too many disjointed pieces, not enough coherent progression to keep me interested in the story, and the leads are rather wooden.

    I don't think he will achieve greatness at all. Easily 50% of why I'm watching now is just to see what happens to him and Michael, especially Michael.  This isn't going to end well for either of them, but (barring some completely unrealistic deus ex machina action) I think Michael is doomed. Adam will be lucky if he's just broken.

    That's not the actress who plays Fia. This is her: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3188162/

    And she looks distractingly older. I get that actors in their early 20s play teenagers all the time, but they usually can look the part. Fia looks like she's dressed up as a schoolgirl for a costume party.

  6. Trying hard to watch this show.

    But running into a major problem: every time Tariq appears on my screen, I want to punch him repeatedly in the face. Unfortunately, I cannot keep watching a show that evokes such a visceral reaction in me.

  7. This show started off in a promising way but now I have to bail on it. It's too convoluted and the writers have not tied all these past and present plot lines in a meaningful manner. I have zero interest in doing another Lost. I'd like to figure out at least something when I watch an episode.

  8. Tariq is rapidly moving up the ranks to take the title of "most infuriating kid on TV" from that kid on The Strain.

    By which I mean "needs a bullet in the head pronto" level.

    So, from watching The Grifters” I thought the whole point of beating a person with a bag of oranges was to create nasty bruises without too much actual damage, so I was surprised Vincent did it right in front of Ghost and Tommy. Obviously it worked on Tasha but I assumed those two would know that trick?

    It's the other way around. It will cause a lot of damage and hurt like hell but not leave a bruise. 

    (So the bruising was puzzling.)

  10. OK, that does it. I'm done with this show. It's just too slow and boring. Might have tolerated it as a Netflix series where all the episodes come out at once, but can't be arsed at this pace.

  11. I can live with Poh and Curtis but I find Maggie Beer annoying with her whole Granny Goodness act (bonus points if you got that reference). Plus she can't handle a hint of chilli in her food and that's going to be a problem when judging. 

    Honestly, I'm not cut up about the judges leaving. I've been questioning their judging for a while now, and when a finale dessert with a broken meringue gets a 10/10, I am fine with some fresh blood. 

    I wish Larissa all the best with her probable ice cream truck venture in the future.

    Did she say that, @babs1226? I must have missed it.  When in the episode was it?

    ETA - I just had a look at Nicole's Instagram account and there are definitely lovey-dovey pics of her with a very Greek-looking boy! Have a look here.

    I'm pretty sure she said his name is "Stanley" on previous episodes.

    So he stole almost 8 million dollars from his employees and had to pay a fine of only $200,000? Wow. I don't understand why he doesn't have to pay the entire amount. 

    He does have to pay the entire 8 million dollars. The 200K is a fine on top of that.

    Which is a laugh, really. If the situation had been reversed and his employees had been stealing money from him, they would be in jail.
