My favorite moment was the final scene of the Rumba still trying to clean up the zombie apocalyse (RIP). Just a lot of non-ending nonsense. I have always been a Rick fan and an on and off Michonne fan. I liked Richonne on the original show, but here it just felt...blah to me. Okay, I did like that they found a working car (and justified it still working as it's electric/hybrid but I never bought that the apartment complex would still have everything up and working) and drove off. Oh, and I was glad that Michonne finally told Rick he had a son and that she mentioned that Daryl kept looking for him. Actually, the meet-up I really want is Rick and Daryl as they were more like brothers than many actual brothers are.

S17.E21: Climbing Down From Decision Day
seacliffsal replied to TwirlyGirly's topic in Married At First Sight
Well, I think the show will never go back to Denver. All of these participants are wildly disappointing IMO. I think they all buy-in to the idea of just keep lying-defend your lies to the bitter end. They also all try to blame the other person. And, it's all psycho-babble when they do the 'fake' I take responsibility as in 'I have learned to trust myself more...trust my gut more...etc.' That is not taking responsibility and learning from this experience. It's building oneself up-I DO know better than others and I am right in my assumptions about others... They point out the bad behavior of those they deem the 'enemy' as when all the women ganged up during the pizza party and made accusations against Austin (and the men in general), but don't acknowledge their own bad behaviors. Where is the 'well, he did this, but I did that...'? They all seemed to try the self-righteous argument of 'I didn't deserve this' without acknowledging that maybe, just maybe, they could have made some compromises or may to blame for the relationships going up in flames. I do give credit to both Austin and Becca for admitting that they could have done better. But, in general, there was a lot of jumping on the bandwagon of how wronged they were by the others. -
Deal or No Deal Island Discussion: Let's see what's on the Board

I think part of it is that they think that he won't be able to manipulate them. Rob is really good at reading people so he figures out who will work with him and who won't and then starts undermining those who won't. I think Claudia is a good example in that she claims (during her exit interview referenced above) she has never watched him on Survivor, just heard about him from other participants on Deal, and wasn't an ally with him. Yet, she ended up being an ally and it seems like she didn't even realize it-yep, Rob just is that good... -

I actually do ask people if they drink alcohol or not as if they don't drink, I won't either as I don't want to offend them or 'tempt' them. I can drink alcohol or not, so I try to be respectful to others. I, too, have been asked if I drink or not. I have several friends who are in AA (or another program) and respect their boundaries and struggles. -
I enjoy this show so much, and this episode was so much fun! Sure, there are plot holes, but I just enjoy the fun. Too many shows just take themselves too seriously for me. Life can be hard and serious, so I sometimes just want to be entertained without having to think about 'real life' too much. The sisters were so much fun. I liken this show to 'Psych' which is one of my all-time favorites. Case of the week-family and friends interact and help, adventure, and humor. And, yes, I realize that I probably overused the word 'fun' in this post...

Farmer Wants A Wife - General Discussion
seacliffsal replied to CountryGirl's topic in Farmer Wants A Wife
I don't really understand the purpose of bringing someone else into these groups. If they wanted to bring McKenzie (?) back because she had to leave due to her father's health emergency, then just bring her back. But, to introduce someone else to all the farmers? Too much, too late (don't like it in the Bachelor franchise when they have done it and don't like it here). I am with the already on the farm women-if the farmers bring someone else back, then leave. It is a clear indicator that the farmers just aren't into the women they have left. For some reason, Mitchell just seems like he is playing the part of a farmer and really isn't one. Like, his 'farm' is more of a hobby farm (he just brought his first animal in last episode [the horse], aspires to have a farm like his neighbor's [where he took his date this week], etc.). What if he loses interest in having the farm? I think Brandon's farm is the most remote and would the biggest lifestyle change for the women. He seems really sincere though-and I was totally surprised by Joy and her lack of empathy. He even mentioned that it was interesting that she went into nursing without the capacity for empathy. I hope Brandon finds a successful relationship (whether through the show or after the show when he may be contacted by women who are very interested in meeting him. Not sure what to think about Ty. A bit insincere? Nathan seems really nice-and he may have the best set-up in terms of home, access to other cities, etc. (and a pool!). We shall see... -

S17.E21: Climbing Down From Decision Day
seacliffsal replied to TwirlyGirly's topic in Married At First Sight
It's a bit suspicious to me that Michael said he has not told his mother that he got married. And, Chloe supported that (at least she said so). Very similar to Cam who did not tell his father (maybe his whole family) that he got married. I wonder what some of these participants really wanted from being on this show. While some had their whole families at the weddings, others haven't even told their families about the wedding. -
The importance of being able to sit out players was in strong evidence when Liz had to participate in the Immunity Challenge. That tribe would have been so lost without Hunter-she basically couldn't do anything. As for when did contestants stop trying to be able to actually survive? I think that's definitely a part of the 'new era Survivor' (and, wow, do I cringe everytime a contestant says that). It's not only the idea that it's easier to survive 26 days than 39 (and it is easier), it's acknowledging that Survivor is casting for personality 'types/stereotypes' and 'characters' over people who could actually survive...

After watching the episode as well as the Afterparty, I am convinced that once Clare realized her marriage was over that she actively tried to get the others to end their marriages as well. It was really interesting that Becca (during the Afterparty) said she had some texts between Clare and Cam and he immediately said he had all of them in context and not selected ones. Also, when Cam took responsibility for bringing up double dating to Brennan and Clare immediately went after him for it (it was a clip from last week) after which Cam said Clare told him to back her up when she put the blame on Brennan. I think they are all liars, but it is interesting when we finally get to hear a different perspective and recollection. Cam also brought up that Emily actually cheated on Brennan which Becca tried to defend and put the blame on Brennan (but she also acknowledged that it happened). I so want to know what actually happened throughout the season and not just the sob stories the producers showed us. -
I guess I have a different take on Randon's injury. I thought they should have taken him out at the first medical visit as he had absolutely no feeling in his hand/arm. Maybe it's because as I age I am more aware of the effects of strokes and even heart issues/attacks as I have more and more friends experiencing them. I am glad that Randon was taken out as it could have been a very dangerous scenario. I was glad that he told us at the end of the episode that he had recovered. Unfortunately, I know far too many people who use tears and a 'poor pitiful me' persona to manipulate others into giving them what they want. I don't know if Bhanu is trying to manipulate others or if he is really falling apart. But, I get it-he is on the outs of his tribe and he just really, really, really wants people to like him. I liked him in the first episode but, at this point, I think it would be a mercy elimination to vote him out. Q is trying to think of ways to use Ghanu to his own advantage-but even though Boston Rob makes his Jedi-mind tricks look easy (i.e. Phillip and others who end up doing his bidding) it's not easy to do (oh, and to see the current version of Rob's mind-trick mastery, watch Deal or No Deal: Island).

Great idea-let's get women who didn't 'win' the Golden Bachelor and have them give advice to women still in the running for The Bachelor. Oh, and let's include Leslie who has had numerous failed relationships (per her own words) and is not only negative but also bitter about her time on Golden Bachelor. Yea, yea, that's the ticket...said no one ever other than producers looking for drama...

Deal or No Deal Island Discussion: Let's see what's on the Board
seacliffsal replied to Thalia's topic in Deal Or No Deal
In Rob's first season of Survivor (Vanuta? Something like that [it may have been season 4]), he arrived ready to work hard and survive. But, he realized that the majority of the tribe didn't want to work so he changed his game plan immediately. That's one thing I really like about him-he understands the motivations of other players and that he needs to adjust his game plan (he really didn't like it in a later season when he had to then plan around hidden immunity idols as others had experience playing with them and he didn't so he had to 'catch up' on that strategy). He also does/did well physically during challenges. I like him a lot, but there are quite a few people who don't like him. -
To me it seemed like Michonne had a continual smirk on her face whenever talking to someone not named Rick. It helped me understand why Thorne was considering killing her. Both Michonne and Rick need to be honest with each other. She needs to tell him about RJ and he needs to tell her why he can't leave. I'm so ready for them to break into Jadis' room, steal the map or whatever she has that will lead the CRM to Alexandria and then kill Jadis so that I don't have to ever watch her again. My favorite moment of the episode? When Rick told Jadis how bad her haircut was.

S17.E20: Decision Day Round One
seacliffsal replied to TwirlyGirly's topic in Married At First Sight
Thanks for posting Becca's website-I thought the photos looked lovely. And, the smiling, relaxed Rebecca in her photo on the website is the one I wish we had during this season-she never seemed just happy and relaxed and I wish she had. I don't think any of the participants were truly comfortable throughout this season. I wonder if there was more going on behind the scenes or with production that helped set them on edge. Whatever the story is about this season, it just led to a not-enjoyable season. Yet, here I sat and I kept watching it. Maybe I was hoping it would get better? I think they should start a season by bringing in the parents of the applicants and have the parents decide the matches. That way at least someone would be thinking about the pairings in a way that would not be based solely on potential drama. And, after all, that would be closer to how traditional matches had been made. I don't see how it could be worse than this 'process' with these 'experts.'
