I wonder if Timothy Olyphant's character is to be the "moral" compass of this season like Keith Carradine and Patrick Wilson in seasons 1 and 2. I kind of hope that the Fadda family does devolve into a civil war between the two brothers as I don't really care for those characters. So far I don't really see a clear story outside of two rival gangs. Like others, I think the story should be a bit more developed at this point.

I don't blame Asuelu for walking out after Lisa called him disgusting. There's no hope after a descriptor like that. I think that Lisa lets him know on a daily basis what she thinks about him and I wouldn't be surprised if she has repressed feelings towards Low that she lets lose on Asuelu. I would not want to be married to someone like Asuelu, but Kalani chose him and certainly lets him know what she thinks about him. Colt really proved who he is when he started talking to Jess during the "break." He waited until everyone else left their cameras/rooms and then started that sickly sweet talking to Jess. Tania is another who knows who she married, but like Kalani, she wants her husband to immediately change into someone else. It was interesting that Syngin complained about the American work culture as it made me wonder what he expected as it is the norm in most countries that if you want money, you...work. He must have thought that somehow everything would just magically appear. Also, I think Syngin drinks specifically to bother her as she tries to control him and everything has to be as she says. I really do like his friends as they totally know what's going on in that relationship. I just don't like Angela and never have. Now that they are married, she has turned on Michael about having a baby. She so went along with all of that and is now "offended" that he still wants a baby. I never want to see her again, so unfortunately will have to limit how much of this show and its various forms I will watch. Andrei looked so happy to no longer be on the hot seat...

If only it were true that there was a Season 7...I would actually start subscribing to Netflix. What a cruel, cruel prank Vulture.com is playing upon me...

Totally being rewarded for abusive behavior. So many of these cast members demonstrate disturbing behavior, but she is actively portrayed in a humorous light in spite of her behavior towards Michael. It really encourages future poor behavior by cast members as they will try and get as many seasons as Angela. I tend to enjoy pillow talk, but it's too hard for me to fast forward segments as they intercut amongst the participants so quickly. I did not watch when Family Chantel was on pillow talk and I won't watch if Angela is on.

Olivia can dish it out to Brett but sure can't take the slightest hint of criticism. She really revealed herself when she told Pastor Cal that she easily trusts people and when he questioned her about what Brett had done to cause her to not trust him, she had nothing. I think her image of herself skews her perspective of what she is experiencing. Brett was absolutely correct when he stated that her calling him disingenuous puts him in a position of not being able to defend himself because she will call that "disingenuous." And, her telling Pastor Cal that when he said she was insecure is something she can't get over. But, Brett has to just accept disingenuous and live with it. I believe that she totally wants to control whatever relationship she is in and the fact that Brett is his own person really bothers her. I also think she may be someone who will always find fault with others. I have no idea why the show is trying to make Brett the villain in this relationship (based on earlier episodes and Unfiltered). Christina also seems to have a different view of herself than others do. Is she the one who watched t.v. to see how relationships should be? I skipped quite a bit of this episode. All the playbacks of the weddings, Bennett's meeting with his sister (really, do some of these people ever do anything without having to be the center of attention or to prove how quirky they are?), conversations with friends, etc. I would think that being on t.v. would be enough for some of the participants, but then again there are others who are seemingly trying to prove their "more special than anyone else in the whole entire world" quirkiness.

Thank you so much for letting me know. I remember the scene but wasn't watching very closely so I missed him. I will make up for that oversight during Episode 3. Ever since Justified, I love me some Timothy Olyphant... (in an appropriate t.v. watcher/movie goer way...).

I really enjoyed this episode. I am very interested in what will happen with undead Gerald McRaney's character. Will he go immediately back or will he try to find new purpose/direction? I am also interested in how the pastor got so much power within the t.v. network/dynasty. I am here for the duration!

Somehow I missed Timothy Olyphant-can someone tell me when he appeared? I, too, thought there were way too many characters introduced but will hopefully be able to keep track of who is who. I am so very glad this is back. The story didn't pull me in immediately like earlier seasons, but that's okay as I know I will end up loving this season. It's been far too long since the prior season.

I enjoyed most of Disney night as it brightened my mood due to all of the extenuating circumstances of life. I liked that there were not huge production numbers and instead they played excerpts from some of the movies on screens behind the dancers. The costumes were overall very fun for me. However, there is just something bothersome about Tyra for me on this show. I really missed Tom last night as he would have had fun with the Disney theme whereas Tyra treated it more as the MOST! IMPORTANT! EVENT! IN! THE! WORLD! I am glad that the judges kept Anne over Carole although I, too, remember Anne's manipulations of both Steve Martin and Ellen Degeneras. I agree with others that something just seems off about Shai and her dances. I think producer picks are now starting to emerge. What a shock that Kaitlyn and Nev do so well (both trained as dancers)... Johnny seemed very shaky to me and his posture was really bad when he pulled back his partner. There were others that didn't seem deserve the higher scores that they received. Not sure how much of the rest of the season that I will watch. I tend not to like most memorable year episode. If they have more "lighter" themes I may watch.

So, after reaming Michael for daring to be on the same boat as a woman was on (a couple of seasons ago for those new to the show), for daring to look in the direction of a dancer in a strip club, and for daring to just talk to women, Angela with glee asks Colt for a picture, admits she dirty danced while at the night club, and kids about a relationship with Chuck. Yes, I know she was kidding (maybe?) about Colt and/or Chuck, BUT, if Michael dared to make a similar joke she would jump to angry while telling him it was his fault she was angry. I really wish this show would take a stand on domestic violence and abuse. Sure, they didn't include Geoffrey and Varya on Pillow Talk, and did not have Paul and Karine on the Tell All, but we have seen Angela push, hit, and verbally debase Michael without so much as a peep.

I felt that Shawn really went after the male spouses and let the female spouses have the one-sided story telling advantage. She even asked Michael why he did something when he knew Angela would blow up as a result instead of asking Angela why she gets angry all of the time. Angela talked about how Michael makes her angry as she is always blaming her for her own temper and outbursts. I also wondered why Shawn never questioned Libby about why she encourages her family to get involved in her relationship with Andrei. Stop telling them every little thing. Shawn also seemed to lay blame on Asuelu without any reference/thought to Kalani's actions or the over-involvement of her family (looking at you Kolini). I actually think that Asuelu had a point about volleyball versus stores, etc. (don't hate me...). He may be playing volleyball with the same small group of people and they may not even have 6 people on a team; plus, it is an outdoor activity. He also needs someone who will patiently explain things to him and I don't think Kalani is all that patient. Even the example of smelling the milk-I think in the U.S. that we may not understand the possibilities of contamination, etc., that other people have to deal with on a daily basis. When Kalani brought that up, everyone laughed at Asuelo without any consideration for cultural differences. I get why Asuelo may feel he's all alone and nobody is on his side as even when he tries to explain what he means, people are laughing at him. Shawn also went after him about teaching dancing during COVID-well, at least he is working. I agree with Kalani and others that he has other responsibilities and that playing volleyball 6 days a week is wayyyyy too much, but lately I have gone shopping and fewer and fewer people are wearing masks and those are people I do not know at all within the confines of a building. I guess the producers have decided who they want to show as being at fault in all of the relationships (Andrei, Asuelu, Michael). And it was obvious that Larissa worked on her "one-liners" prior to the Tell All as her first insult to Colt was that he was fatter than ever, yet he noticeably had lost weight. Hopefully the producers will start finding new people for these shows as I think I'm just overly grumpy as I don't really care for these participants. But, you can bet I'll be watching parts 2 and 3 of the Tell All.

I would be so happy to not see Larissa and many of the others who come back season after season with no real reason or story (other than the same story over and over and over again...). I would be especially happy if TLC fires Larissa and therefore she has to return to Brazil.

Was there really a studio audience there without masks or was it creative editing? And I was really surprised the security guys didn't wear masks or distance. I thought that maybe this was filmed before quarantine, but the judges were socially distanced. I think the snow owls are Donny and Marie. Of course, I'm probably wrong. No idea even for anyone else.

I just couldn't stand Olivia this episode. When she snapped at Brett to stop looking at her like that, I didn't know what she was talking about. He just had a grin-but she told him more than once to stop it. Then, at their lunch, she ripped into him for telling Dr. V. that she had a beautiful smile. Who does that? He has given compliments to her and I think he is hurt that she has not given compliments in return. I think she may have a very high opinion of herself and see him as "less than" due to his priorities about money and spending not matching her priorities. Although he was very sarcastic with him comments about owning a home, Olivia could have given some type of acknowledgement about that. She doesn't have to love/like his home, but just some credit for buying one. I think she is super rigid and wants to control their relationship and activities. Brett doesn't play along with that and that frustrates her even more. Yes, I have seen that Brett didn't interact well with her friends, but maybe he just didn't like them (I know, I know--we all need to try and get along with the friends of our beloveds). I'm still on Team Brett mainly because I think Olivia is relentless in trying to control the relationship. I now think that Christina is purposely trying to hurt Henry. She may realize he will never like her so is intent on punishing him or trying to make him look bad. The show should stop using participants who are recently out of a relationship. It never seems to work out and is unfair to the other spouse. I really enjoy Amani and Woody. Although he identified himself as the life of the party when we first met him, I think he just wants to be loved and not have to "live up" to his reputation. And yes, like others, I think he will love the dog Amani chooses for them.

For the second episode, I was surprised that they didn't verify the ID of the victim more thoroughly once they realized she had a twin. It seemed more haphazard that they discovered the switch. They should have asked the brother-he seemed to know right away. Like others, I love the dog...

How sad is it that Bennett is talking about cleaning the apartment and doing chores when in the first episode he explained that he doesn't necessarily have a good relationship with the concept of hygiene. Things must be really bad in the apartment (in terms of cleanliness) for him to be initiating trying to keep the apartment clean.

I thought that I would give the show another try as last week was not as bad as I expected. But, what was the first segment I saw? Tyra and her "smizing." With, of course, her critiques for the celebrities about their smizing. So, I just changed the channel. I can't take this if it's all about Tyra all the time. I watched most of the seasons of America's Next Top Model and think that Tyra is beautiful and talented in many ways. BUT, when I watch this show I want it to be about dancing, NOT smizing...

I really enjoyed this and appreciate that the story seems to be moving fairly quickly. I did not catch what Jason did in the hospital room so thanks to those of you who explained. It helps me understand the story a bit more. I was surprised by the ending that Eugene is still alive. I don't know why I didn't see that coming.

I think Family Libby discovered what happens when you encourage bad behavior (Charlie) and then all of a sudden cannot stop that behavior. They have been so cavalier about criticizing and questioning Andrei, but after Charlie drinks quite a bit they can't stop his behavior that had previously been supported and encouraged by the family. However, Libby tried to blame Andrei for her brother's behavior. She kept lumping them together in her wailing "why can't they both behave..." comments. And then she took Andrei outside to lecture him about his behavior when he displayed no negative behaviors during the reception. It was ALL her family which she instigated by always criticizing Andrei to them. This episode seemed super short. Oh, wait a minute, that's because I fast-forwarded the hours of Larissa's surgery recovery. And, I did not feel sorry for her at all. I was also able to fast-forward a lot of Angela's story. Yes, I know that it's hard to lose a parent, but I didn't need to spend time watching Angela grieve her mother. I felt that Colt was trying to gaslight his own mother. He used many of the words and actions that he had used with Larissa and Jess. I could hardly believe it. Tania so wants to be a sympathetic victim, but she keeps displaying her entitlement and drama. I would have loved to watch Syngin tell her that he was staying in South Africa, but alas... Neither one of them are sympathetic in my mind. As for Kalani and Asuelu-I don't feel sorry for Kalani one bit (even though she too wants to be a victim). Asuelu was 19 or 20 when she fell in lust with him. Neither one of them are suited for the other. I do want to say that I thought she dressed much better in this episode and in my opinion the higher necklines (i.e. not showing all of her breasts) framed her face more and really showed how pretty she is (IMO). I also think she feels entitled and superior to Asuelu-especially when she downplayed his working on the outside of their home. She basically said that yardwork didn't benefit her so she is not interested in it and Asuelu show focus on doing other chores. She better be careful though because if they divorce, they may not get invited back for another season.

I have loved this show from the beginning (on POP t.v.). I have to admit I had happy tears in my eyes while watching the emmy sweep and the real joy shown and shared by those at the Schitt's Creek party. I also appreciate that a show based on love, without a huge budget or on a pay cable channel, could bring such joy, laughter, and tears to me and others throughout its run. I am just sad that the series is over...but look forward to seeing the cast in other projects and to see what else Daniel Levy will create (not to be confused with Dan Levy and Indebted [which I watched for a few episodes as I thought Daniel was behind it...]).

The way the show and contestants go on and on about the desirability and wonderfulness of the current Bachelor/Bachelorette, I can see how someone could really start believing it and therefore believe that whoever they chose should be honored to have been chosen and therefore owe a lifetime to the Bachelor/Bachelorette. I really hope that the producers really implement psychological examinations for the leads as it could be hard to face reality after being the highly desirable lead that the contestants fawn and fight over. Fortunately, most of the leads seem to handle "after the rose" fairly well. I think the huge swell of fan support after the fence jumping scene may have added to the entitlement issue (what he did for love...).

Anyone else besides me nervous during the gender reveal party after the disaster that started a fire in Oregon? Anyone know how gender reveal parties became a thing (this is a serious question as I have no idea). Did not miss Jamie and Doug at all. I loved the genuine joy of Deonna and Greg over having a baby. Am also very glad that Danielle and Bobby and Ashley and Anthony all seem so happy. It really is interesting that three couples are expecting babies very close to one another. Also loved the Hurd family portrait!

Okay, I watched a bit of Unfiltered (don't like Jaime so don't watch it too often) and found it telling that when asked what love is/when she would feel like she was in love, Olivia answered that it would be when she felt supported by her husband and that he would do things with her. She never referenced what she would do/feel for her husband but rather what he would do for her. I think she really thinks the marriage should revolved around her. And, she never seems to really have fun. Of course, I also think Brett was really annoying at the bar. So, maybe they are perfect for each other? I also thought that Amelia was a bit offended when Bennett brought up cleanliness and her lack of washing the entire glass. I think it's important to have some common areas of interests as well as one's own interests. However, they are both so "quirky" that they could end up being too similar to each other. I also think that Henry may have shared his thoughts with Amani hoping that she would then communicate them to Christina so that he would not have to tell her directly.

I hope that this is the first of many... And, the casting was fabulous!

I am so tired of Nicole crying because she thinks nobody is trying to help her win. She was so dramatic about what Ian's leaving would do to her game. I really hope someone takes her out very soon.
