    Oh, and Ewan?! How the fuck did they guess that with a straight face. He wouldn't be caught dead with 100 miles of this show 

    Even if he did decide to do it for some dumb reason, have none of them ever heard him sing? He's got a fantastic voice and guessing him as McTerrier was an insult.

    I thought the show was awful. Everything seemed ridiculously faked, the production values were far below previous seasons, the editing was terrible. I thought the head falling off and the singer coughing/choking were both fake, especially when the firefly was talking afterward and gave no good explanation for what was going on. Did she panic from the mask? Did she choke on her own spit? Did she suck in a piece of fuzz?

    The whole episode seemed so lackluster. I don't know if I'll watch again. I also kind of missed the Golden Ear competition between the judges.

    The talking heads gave it away for me.  These reality show producers need to stress the poker face during the interviews.  Kim and penn were way too happy compared to the other teams.  But I was still glad they won.  Good job.

    I actually thought the total opposite, I thought Kim and Penn were tired and subdued in most of their talking heads tonight, while Raquel and Cayla seemed happy and upbeat in theirs. I was convinced Raquel and Cayla had won, I was pleasantly surprised when Kim and Penn pulled ahead at the memory task!

    The same reason they were wallpapering the graffiti art willy-nilly.  They are dumb.

    I saw on another forum that someone paused and read the directions for the belt task, and it clearly said to start the story at the buckle.

    So yeah, seem to be nice guys but I think your assessment is correct.

    Kim appears in the scene where Tony is threatening the Mandarin and, as @kris4n6 notes, has lines - she does a stand-up bit in front of her cameraperson, then turns to ask Tony questions as he's leaving. There's a whole crowd of reporters in that scene, but I don't know if Penn is in there somewhere or not. There is also a montage of on-screen news anchors, so he might be in there.

    I want to say he was in the background of that scene but I'm not 100% sure.

    I started rewatching all the MCU in chronological order last year and I'd forgotten I'd read they were in it so I was surprised to see them (I'd seen the movie when it came out but had no idea who they were at the time).

    I've been working my way through the Marvel movies, and both Penn and Kim appear as journalists in Iron Man 3, as do several other real-life journalists. Oddly enough, she is listed in the credits but he isn't (but he is listed in the IMDB credits).

    I think she got a credit because she had a speaking part, asking Tony Stark a question.

    Iron Man 3 was filmed in Wilmington, NC so there were lots of local to NC extras, especially in the news reporter scenes.

    And fun fact, my uncle lived there at the time and when my mom was visiting him, RDJ rode by on a bike and made eye contact. 😂 She loves to tell that story.

    To be fair, it wasn't just him—he and Taylor were both surprised and dubious about how easy the task was, and convinced each other not to trust Anthony. I think if it had just been Anthony and Penn or Anthony and Taylor at the task, then they might have accepted that there really wasn't anything more for them to do and gone back when Anthony did. It was the presence of another person who couldn't believe the task was that easy that did them both in.

    It's also interesting to note that in their podcast, Penn said a few extra things about the clue.  One was that there was an address and postal code on it, so he thought they had to find something with those same numbers.  And that when Anthony left, he also had a small box in his hands so they thought they'd need something else.  He also swore that Anthony's clue was open but I haven't heard any other confirmation of that so maybe it just looked torn on one end but wasn't actually open.

    I definitely agree with them that this is probably the easiest roadblock I've ever seen and I understand why they were confused (though I think 30 minutes more searching was overkill).

  7. Ok, so this goes back to a previous episode, but how certain are we that the Wanda that exited the Hex and threatened Hayward was actually Wanda? Could that have been Agatha too? She changed her clothing in the first episode, is it much of a leap to think she may have gone out to threaten Hayward and Sword on her own? The disappearing/reappearing accent from Wanda is kind of bugging me. Like it was what Hayward and the others expected Wanda to sound like, based on previous recordings of her, but not what she's sounded like in the Hex (or before/during the events of Infinity War either).

  8. After the last few episodes, I'm becoming more certain that The Frog will win, which sucks. He's a good dancer and can entertain the crowd, but his singing is not good.  It's the Masked Singer, not the Masked Entertainer.  I thought he should have gone home weeks ago, I was ticked he even made it out of the groups.  I'm hoping for a Night Angel/Turtle finale, but I just know Frog is going to hop his way in instead.

    Cant the president just tell everyone that she was being controlled, people obviously noticed that something weird was going on, and even if she blacked out or something when she was being puppted, she would certainly find out right away what happened right? 

    That's what I was wondering - how will this really help Alder, if the President is alive to refute what she said?  I could see that she might not want to come out and admit that a witch had taken her over (because the fallout from that would be huge), but just because she said this on a national broadcast doesn't mean she's going to actually stick with it.  She'll also know that it was Alder who did it, and while Alder is powerful I can't imagine that a well placed strike team wouldn't be able to hurt her (take out the biddies first and she'd probably crumble like Mother Gothel in Tangled).

    I fully expected the President to have an "unfortunate" stroke or heart attack right after finishing the speech.

    And as an aside, why is it that the flags have 50 stars when the map in the opening clearly shows there are not 50 states?  And why would there have only been 45 presidents, if the Revolution happened a good 50 years before it did in our world?

  10. We also never saw 8 transform into the War Doctor as far I know, so she could be slotted in there somewhere. 

    As for how long Lee and Ruth had been on Earth, All Ears Allen said his dossier on Lee only went back 15 years and nothing before that, so I'd think that was when they came to Earth.

    Of course, the simplest question for either Doctor to ask would have been "How old are you?"

    The leopard singing sounded just like Kenan Thompson, though neither the looks nor the clues fit.

    Yes!! That's exactly what I thought when I heard him, he sings enough on SNL that I know what his voice sounds like, and to me it sounds just like Leopard. 

    Too bad absolutely none of the clues fit so I'm pretty sure it's not him.

  12. I thought there was going to be a scene with Randall excusing himself to go to the bathroom to find the phone and delete the message, but the second they walked outside I knew she'd already heard it.  Hell, I'm not 100% sure she didn't hear it and then hop in the car and drive like a mad woman to get there and make him feel like shit through the whole dinner.

    I hope next week has a lot of flashbacks and isn't just an hour of fighting, like with the waiting room last week.

    As an aside, I understand singing "You Are My Sunshine", because the first verse is great. I sang it to my son (and my cat before that, lol). But the second verse, that I never heard until I listened to a nursery rhyme CD, is a killer. "The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms. When i awoken I was mistaken, and I hung my head and cried" Maybe I always go to worst case scenario but yikes. Not something I'd want to sing to a medically fragile child.

    Also, no way that 1) Kate's insurance still had her in the hospital (my son was in NICU and after 4 nights I was discharged) and 2) she stood up way too quickly and easily for someone who had just had a c-section.  I know I couldn't have, and I had a textbook easy recovery.

  13. Zoey, Zoey, Zoey, wtf were you thinking????  The "I'll only stay 10 minutes" plan was obviously not going to work, but cheating on the test was even worse.  Study in the weeks/days leading up to the exam.

    I know, it doesn't always work out - I had way more than one all-nighter in college, and I also went Christmas shopping the night before I bombed my Spanish final so I can't say I always studied like I should have.  I didn't cheat on it, though (unlike the dickwads in front of me that I should have ratted out, but c'est la vie).

    I can't believe she did something so stupid.  She's probably going to get expelled, or would if this were real life.

    I still don't know the name of the lady in waiting who clocked to the Duchess and the footman early on.  Downton made you care about downstairs, but none of these subsequent historical shows- which borrow heavily from its success- have ever managed to do it.

    Lady Emma Portman.  I had to look it up but I do now remember Melbourne calling her Lady Emma in the first season.

    I think it's arrogance on the writer's part.  Michael Hirst (Vikings) claims it can't be both historically accurate  and entertaining, which is hogwash.  As if that explains Ubbe the Dane heading the Anglo Saxon army against the Danes and Alfred the Great taking lessons from him!

    I don't mind the small things, but this wholesale rewriting of history is ridiculous.

    DG's arrogance is off the charts.  I checked the "Victoria and Albert: A Royal Love Affair" out of the library and have read a few chapters.  She has written in at least one spot about how the Lord Melbourne/Victoria love story from season one was actually accurate and in other places has thrown in what is clearly her made up opinion as "fact".  It's enough to make me want to throw the book at someone (preferably her).

  16. I just started watching (as in binged them all in one night, lol) so I'm sure I'm making guesses everyone else has made.  I've read most of this thread and while I know a lot of people are convinced Rabbit is Joey Fatone, I'm still sticking with JC Chasez because I'm contrary like that.  I do agree that Peacock is Donny Osmond, but it blows my mind that I never realized how much Donny Osmond sounds like David Hasselhoff, because when he started singing I immediately thought it was the Hoff and I've actually seen DO in concert before.  If it wasn't for the height given (and other clues in later episodes that made it pretty obvious it was DO) I would still be arguing for DH.

    No clue on the Lion.  

    Bee - Gladys Knight

    Monster - I'm going with Ruben Stoddard.  I think the costume is built like that to hide his body shape.

    Alien - Latoya Jackson (although I thought it was a Kardashian at first)

    I was inordinately pleased to have guessed Tommy Chong, Margaret Cho, and Tori Spelling right 😁

    Yes, and I thought Absentia handled it fairly realistically. 

    The show is still holding my attention despite its flaws. And I wanted to like Timelss but got bored after a few episodes. 

    I disagree, I found Absentia handled it (especially the first few episodes) just as unrealistically.  She comes back and the next episode she's living with her brother and when her husband's friends/coworkers refer to her, they call her "the ex-wife".  She was legally still his wife and the new marriage was likely void.  I thought they skipped way too much with that show, just like this one is doing.

    Ben must have had a job as a professor or similar prior to the trip. When he was in Manhattan, he looked at his phone and there were job listings for Lecturer, Professor, (or similar) when he was led to the Adio's father. So it seems he was looking for a similar position.

    Yes, and I found that realistic that his prior job wouldn't have kept a position - I expect he was an adjunct professor and not tenured, though he also may have taken a leave of absence to take care of Cal.

     

    Something I noticed this episode is that they showed the date when the mom died - it was very soon after the flight disappeared, in May if IIRC.  When the father talked about her getting sick and dying he seemed to imply it had been a long illness and not sick and dead in a month.  I don't know if that's going to end up related to the flight or not (though probably not).

    I still can't believe that no one in the circle of officials and scientists glossed over the fact that they not only traveled through time but space.  Since it is 5 --- and a half --- years since they disappeared, the Earth would have been on the other side of the sun from where they originally disappeared.  Let alone the fact that the sun (and the entire solar system) has moved substantially since Flight 828 disappeared.  Pretty sure the writers never took any of that into consideration.

     

    That's another thing - why 5 and a half years? Why not just 5 years?  I doubt they took it into consideration at all, but the timing is weird.  Why that date?

    Another random note in every scene in the Lighthouse we had random S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents walking in the aisles. A lot more than one quinjet load given the size of the place.  While not what Director Fury had or Coulson when working for the US government S.H.I.E.L.D. is a thing again.

    That threw me at first - I didn't realize the extra agents were still there and when one walked by in the scene with Deke and Fitz I had to rewind to see what the hell walked by.

     

    Overall a good episode, though I had no idea who the hell Von Strucker was until probably the middle of the episode.

  19. I just finished watching a few minutes ago, so overall right now I'm more upset that Henry and Evan lost than I am that Jessica and Cody won.  I didn't mind Jessica and Cody much, though I never fully rooted for them.  They were fine, although the last episodes when they wanted Henry and Evan to go home I started rooting against them a little.  I really really liked Henry and Evan though, from the first episode on, and I am SO BUMMED that he didn't ask for a check when he had it right.  I wish they hadn't even showed that, it's making their loss hard to swallow.  UGH.  I did like Kristi and Jen fine, and if they had won I probably would feel the same way.  All three teams ran a great race, but that decision not to get a check, dammit Henry!

    Hopefully this won't be the last season of TAR!

  20. I feel like I had a totally different takeaway from the final scene.  I thought it was showing that Wes/Christophe had been working with Laurel's father and Dominic, from the very beginning.  I'm theorizing that Mr. Castillo had him murdered because he found out W/C was sleeping with his daughter instead of anything to do with a public stock sale.

  21. Very misleading promo. Jessica didn't steal Brittany's gnome or IMHO do anything underhanded. It was Brittany's job to watch over her own items.

     

    I think Cedric was the only one to keep his backpack with him while doing the roadblock, and I think that's partly why he was so exhausted. 

     

    I thought for sure that Cedric and Shawn and the food competition guys were going to get penalties for calling out to their teammates when they were trying to find the start of the roadblock again.

     

    I was surprised Cedric chose the detour to go through the city again. I though the dance one was much easier - although I guess the descriptions may have made the teams think they'd be graded on their dancing (which is what I thought at first) and chose the other because of that. 

     

    Glad it was a non elimination round.

  22. Love that TAR is back!! I really missed it this past fall.

     

    I thought the episode was pretty solid all around - that ending was crazy!  I really wish the ring girl in the back had run a little faster (or they'd been able to park and not be in a race at the end at all). I hope Goat Yoga goes next.  Honestly, as soon as they were introduced I immediately rolled my eyes and hoped they'd go, but the blonde's bitchy personality really solidified it for me. They can go any time.

    My husband is rooting against the Big Brother team only because they're on BB and he hates that show. I'm reserving judgement for right now.

    Loved the skiers and violinists. I was not expecting them to say they were violinists.
