I’m glad they had the proper time to discuss the Simpson case today, focusing on the victims. It was clear yesterday that Whoopi had absolutely zero interest in discussing it.

Whoopi’s skepticism over the Princess Kate mystery becomes increasingly annoying. First of all she’s absolutely wrong about Americans being far more interested in the story than the British. Not true at all. On the extremely popular radio call-in network LBC this story is often the subject of discussion. The only thing different is that conspiracy theories aren’t allowed due to libel laws.

So Joy finally got Covid, apparently. She’ll be out all this week. I hope she’s getting through it OK.

My god, Billy Porter is insufferable.

I’m wondering if the new Star City head will “out” Margo as a way to taunt the US. It would seem a logical thing for the new hardliner Soviet government to do. And could this lead to the US to attempt to “extract” Margo?

So it’s a possibility we’ll see Putin as the actual leader of the Soviet Union? Yikes. So perhaps total worldwide nuclear annihilation in the series finale? With the Mars folk stranded forever? In this episode I only stopped to watch the Kelly/Aleida scenes and the ones with Margo. I don’t care about Bad Makeup Job Ed or anybody else. Well, maybe Danielle. As for Danny I like to think the production regime finally got a clue how universally hated he was and if he does return it’s a photo double playing the role of his dead body.

I’m aware of that but that doesn’t strike me as a reason “the boys” weren’t mentioned.

I think the Ghost Diana scenes are justifiably being ridiculed in some reviews. They’re awful. Not once in either “conversation” are “the boys” ever mentioned. I can only assume this was intentional on Peter Morgan’s part to avoid wallowing in sentimentality but still. I thought the Ghost Dodi scene was absolutely unnecessary, too.

I agree with Hisam-he and Mecole could indeed have made for a formidable pair in that house. But Mecole only seemed interested in being part of a resurrection of The Cookout so them’s the breaks, toots. So Izzy and Blue were the only ones who ever knew about Cirie/Jared? Shame that Survivor nerd Cory never figured it out because he could have used it against Cirie during the later stages. I enjoyed Cameron’s looks to the camera when Mecole labeled him a “hero” and when he won AFP. Not quite John Krasinski-in-The-Office-level but enjoyable, nonetheless.

Did you get a load of BJ’s parents? The mother looked like a frigging Aussie Vanderbilt. Or maybe a Murdoch. And Mother cooed that she and hubby went on a three week “holiday” but kept up on BJ’s time in the house. How sweet. Something tells me their “holiday” wasn’t at Ayers Rock. Mother no doubt has the best dentist and on-call hair stylist in Australia, too. Anyway I assumed Jag and Matt clocked how prosperous they looked. Of course it would mean zilch in their decision to drag her into the F2 if either of them wins but still.

I’d prefer a twist where another group of HGs are revealed to have been playing in another house since August, aware that their game wasn’t being televised. And then on Finale Night the F2 from both houses get voted on by America. The nation, I mean, not the HG.

I can’t decide what I’d rather see (and I realize this is Fantasyland): Cory blowing up Cirie’s game by outing her as Jared’s mom during his live on TV speech to the HGs or for him to whisper the info in Jag’s ear as he heads out the door. I suppose the latter would be more fun from a game perspective. Jag would assume Blue and Felicia knew about the familial relationship and he, Matt, America and Bowie Jane would then unite in getting all three of them out one by one.

Good for Cory. As I posted several days ago it made no frigging sense for Cerie’s win on The Traitors to be ignored and glossed over.

I totally wouldn’t put it past this damn show for revealing in Season 4 that Bradley and Laura were at the Supernova music festival in Israel, Laura was raped and murdered and Bradley recorded all of it on her phone before her miraculous escape.

All hail Cameron, the rural juror…I mean the first juror. To quote his favorite dramatist Mr. William Shakespeare “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Actually it should be “Thou ne’er receiveth goodbye messages because thou sucketh.”
