  1. Of all the things in curious about is how did they (the family) not know the cousins were actual sisters? I gave more questions. It was a fine pilot. Most pilots are just fine IMO. I'll give it another go. I watched mostly to support Chestnut. I like the actor playing Shinwell from GOT so that was nice. I like Randall Park as well so I'll see how well he plays a bad guy. How old are these doctors working with Watson? They seem awfully young. Are they supposed to be like Doogie Howser?
  2. I've only seen the 1st episode. I enjoyed it for it being a first episode. Generally speaking, 1st episodes are okay. What I didn't like reminded me why I gave up soaps yet I'm here to support Tunie and Clifton. Thoughts in no particular order. I'm trying to remember them all since I watched a few days ago. - There's something I don't like about Dani. I think it may be the actress. I'm glad though that they gave her those lines about not knowing what she's going to do now that her life plan has been upended. - Homeboy playing Bill is going to get typecast. - Agree with those that think the white couple were boring. They were telegraphing so loud that there will be trouble in paradise. It better not be because of Andre. I'm going to be shallow and say he can do better. - The diner conversation was a bit stilted. - The country club must be like being at home because they were mighty comfortable talking about family business there. - Real estate lady (I don't remember her name) took the commission from Bill and his side-piece though she friends with Dani. I can see this being a recurring theme with her.
  3. I didn't get all the nursery rhyme characters either. I think overall the girls did well. I liked most of the looks for the mother look s well. The mother/father was hit of miss. I agree with the top 3. I'm not sure Geneva didn't deserve to be in the bottom 3. That last outfit wasn't flattering at all. I loved Nymphia's look. I'm not sure how much of it was menswear. I like Hershii. Her last outfit wasn't it and she didn't bring it. I kept waiting for her to and nothing.
  4. I can't stand Jane. She's pretty and not afraid to be silly. I like that. Her attitude is just ugh. I thought I understood her strategy. After reading y'alls comments, I don't know now. I love Nymphia! I hope Myh'ia isn't one note. I don't remember enough about anyone's talent to comment except I thought Nymphia's was the best or one of the best.
  5. The more episodes I watch, I'm not liking that they used the name. I agree it was purely for name recognition. Though I will concede they are similar superficially so TPTB would probably argue it's not a name recognition thing.
  6. I thought Shae was referring to being able to tell that something romantic was going on between Olympia and Elijah, which is ridiculous. I found Shae to be annoying. She doesn't have to come back. If she does, the character needs to tone it down. Not clear on why she's called Meerkat. I don't like Olympia's style in court. She's a hair from being over the top. I enjoyed Matty's closing. It wouldn't fly IRL. I know Mattie says the lying is hard. She can do it as well as she does because enough of it is based on truth. That's what would sell the speech IRL if it was depersonalized. To me, it's also what allowed her to sell it (i.e., the audience believe it) as we watched it. Part of me hopes, she gives the recording back to Olympia. The other part of me says she shouldn't, at least not any time soon. It's too soon to be softening.
  7. I don't usually watch legal shows, and I can be pretty nitpicky. For some reason, I’ve overlooked the problems with this show. I think it's the fact that I don't watch a lot of TV and miss this kind of comfort shows. CONS I don't buy for a single second that Olympia and Julian are married. Olympia is out of Julian's league. Making Olympia seem idiotic for potentially getting into a thing with Elijah. Making the Asian woman the ambitious one and a bitch at that. Seems lazy. PROS I like the casting and think they have chemistry. Pilots are usually hit or miss with me. I think the chemistry between the cast is selling it. NOT SO SURE ABOUT I'm not sure her being a rich woman out for revenge is more interesting than the backstory she created. I know a lot of shows like to have these overarching themes and what not. I went into this thinking it was a remake of Matlock and was looking forward to COTW storylines. (Admittedly, though I initially didn’t want to watch because I thought it was just a remake and I’m kind of tired of those. Then someone whose judgment I trust, said they like it so I gave it a shot.) Time will tell if the writers can really keep this up. I will say the plot twist did make me want to keep watching. Chicago Redshirt, mentioned Profit way back. Still mad to this day that the show was cancelled. It was a head of its time.
  8. So happy Alyssa won! For me, it was between her and Nelly, with Alyssa being my top choice! I love this take on the editing. I hadn't thought of that. I think the part of this episode that made me laugh as in "What?" were all the times people kept saying Kween was kind. The editing more often displayed the opposite that. I must say Kitty's ode to Barbie, while cute, left me cold. It wasn't good enough for the final competition.
  9. I started watching S2 after watching S1 recently. As I started S2, I realized I had watched at least part of it years ago. I was immediately reminded that I disliked Tyra then and I dislike her now. She does lack warmth as Merle said and she has a nasty attitude. I'm only on S2E5. I'm annoyed she's going to win. I like Pandora Boxx. Her style may not be the best; there's just something about her that has me rooting her. I think Titianna is the prettiest. I like Jujubee and Raven. I can see why some don't like Raven. She's kinda one note with the makeup and can be bitchy. I can't stand Sonnique and Morgan. Too full of themselves. And I really like Jessica Wild. Compared to S1, S2 does appear to be a downgrade as far as production quality. I can't believe that Jessica Glasscock made it to the final 3 in S1. She was only pretty. She didn't have anything else going for her compared to the final 2. I forget who Glasscock beat in the lip sync for your life. (I can see the face but can't remember the name.) I just know that girl got robbed.
  10. I would have a choice between Crystal Denny or Honey Kenwood. I think both of them would be the complete opposite of myself, just over the top with everything.
  11. When I heard the playlist, I was okay with it because I honestly couldn't remember ever hearing any of the songs before. I wonder if the girls given the list of songs before and should've been prepared to sing them. If so, no excuse not to know the words when $50k is on the line. It's been a few days since I've seen the episode and I don't remember any of the girls being on point with both the singing and dancing. I do think Eva was eliminated too early. Gala did lose her wig but I don't remember Miranda doing much of anything. Of the two, makes sense to me that Soa won. Agreed that it was kinda boring. Did they need a filler episode or something? While it was good to see all the girls again, I wanted to see the finale.
  12. Agreed! I'll miss her. I kept wondering if I missed something or something happened off screen because Kween's attitude towards Nelly was uncalled based on what was shown. It's telling that no one agreed with her. Pyhthia absolutely didn't deserve that. She's one of my faves! Keen was one of my favorites at the start. Now she's at the bottom. I think they all did good to great with their runway. I mostly agree with the judges as far as the critiques. Miranda was spot on when talking to Ru and Raven. I wondered if something happened to Raven because she was walking funny. I also feel like she was wasted. She barely spoke. I do think they need to mix up the challenges more to highlight a variety of talents. I'm glad Kitty got knocked down a peg a bit.
  13. I love punS! She was cracking me up. Vanity is the lip sync assassin. Sad to see Pythia go. She's one of my favorites. I'm glad Nelly was funny and Kitty had to eat her words a bit. The editing is making her insufferable.
  14. Pythia was robbed! Absolutely robbed! Agreed on the comments about Kween and Nelly. Kween was one of my favorites. Not any more. And her runway look was very grandma-ish. I will say her Snatch Game character was a choice and I loved it.
  15. Kitty is a cow. I liked her at first. Now, not so much. Nelly said she was upset because of her skill level and the type of fabric. No one also considered that it's stressful and she was in her head. During the same episode when Vanity was in hers. All the sympathy she got. Maddening. She was no different from Alyssa that complained multiple times about what she got. I guess because Alyssa is funny it went down better. As well as I think the girls are holding grudges against Nelly from her comments about some of them not liking her. The emotional intelligence of some of these girls is lacking. I liked/loved all the looks. I think Alyssa could've done better. I didn't love it but wanted to. I knew Tessa was going to win as soon as she came out. (Not sure how she won the mini challenge. Maybe I missed the point of it. She looked crazy AF. Maybe that was the point.) I'm so surprised considering her pink dress was terrible. I really liked Vanity's look. I can see why she wasn't in the bottom. To have made that in an hour is crazy. I thought Gala looked good but it was basic to me so I'm not surprised she was in the bottom two.
