July 6th's Weekly TV Thoughts

American Ninja Warrior – In both rounds, I had someone I was rooting for lose in the races.  And so hard to see Nate go out early, too.  Happy that James saved his run, and thrilled as always to see Joe move on to the next round.

Race to Survivor: New Zealand – I’m surprised only one team pushed through.  I would have bedded down for the night, but I’m surprised that the river guides did.  And I’m glad we are finally getting to the rules violation.  I’ve been dying to know what that was since they teased it at the beginning of the season.  I’m wondering if the hedgehogs are what it was.

The Acolyte – The beach planet was beautiful.  I wouldn’t mind visiting that.  But the rest of it?  We could have covered that in five minutes if a good writer were working on things.  And I’m wondering if Sol really didn’t know it was Mae with him the entire time.  At least that’s all out in the open now.
