Anna Pigeon (10/9) – So, is Anna going to be in a new park
next season? I take it she killed
Paulson. And I get she had to do
it. But really? He was so over the top. A poorly executed season of a TV show. Not sure I will be back for season two.
Marlow Murder Club – Not completely sure the payoff was
worthy of the set up for this one. But I
still enjoyed the episode (and season) overall.
I feel like the storyline with Becks’s mother-in-law was in one of the
books, but I don’t remember which one.
Possibly the third, but don’t quote me on that.
Marble Hall Murders – I’m impressed with how things came
together. They even pulled off multiple
climaxes without making me feel like they were milking things. This is supposed to be the last story for
Susan (and Pund), and I will definitely miss them.
Celebrity Weakest Link – One of the people I was rooting for
won! Not that I was rooting for her
because of the movie she was there for, but because of her other work (some of
it in the horror genre). Of course,
someone else I was rooting for was the first to go. Not that I could argue with the team. I am always torn when a team could have run
the chain but didn’t. It would be nice,
but with how much they’d gotten wrong, it would have been risky. And they still banked a decent amount that
round.
Dancing with the Stars – Not my favorite week of the
season. Too many hip hop infused dances
for my taste. The judges mostly seemed
to like it, which means it must be me.
Glad to see Guillermo go home. It
was definitely time for him to leave.
RJ Decker – That was lots of fun. I’m glad they didn’t spend any time acting
like the delusions were real. I’ve got
to admit, they got me with the who, and I found all the hows to be fun as
well. And I mostly liked the
ending. Did I miss something on why the
murder took place? I guess the guy was
going to blow the whistle on what he was getting for disappearing each night,
but I could be wrong.
The Challenge – Going into elimination is part of the
show. I get that it isn’t something you
want, but how can people be so angry over it.
It’s one thing if you’ve been down there this season. But if you haven’t even been down there
yet? Yeah, maybe you shouldn’t go on a
rant after you win. I was very sorry to see
Justin go home, however. I do feel for
him. So close yet again. CT would have done well (if he’s as good at
puzzles as he claims), but I still would like to see him in the sand again at
some point. Stop resting on your history
and prove you still deserve to be here.
Survivor – It’s been a while since we saw the two tribes to
three tribes switch. I am liking seeing
these old school things in the open era.
But seriously, have these people never seen the show before? You don’t just say everything going on,
especially in front of everyone like that.
And don’t make your friendships/relationships so obvious. It’s a good way to get voted out. And, once again, the team that is down in
numbers does to tribal and gets to vote someone else out. I hope we aren’t going to have a tribe that
can’t win. I really don’t want that.
The Amazing Race – I was sure the grandfather/grandson team
was a goner. Still not sure how they
hung on, but it probably won’t be for too much longer. Really sorry to see the siblings go because I
really liked them and their attitude.
There are some other teams I wish would be eliminated. Not that they are bad, but they are a little
annoying. So far, there is no one I
hate. I do like a good scramble because
it does mix things up. And, what is the
name of this show again? In a race, do
you wait for others, or do you go and try to finish quickly? I will never understand teams that get upset
when another team won’t wait for them.
Heck, I don’t get why teams try to work together other than maybe right
when they are both getting to a task at the same time. I also have to ask – what was the point of
that cliffhanger last time? I thought we
were going to have a non-elimination leg or something. Why not just eliminate them last week.
Traitors: New Blood – Victor is annoying, but he is the only
one who is on to any of the traitors.
They’d be stupid to kill him, but they keep doing stupid things and
getting away with it. I mean, how is
Victor the only one who picked up on the fruit.
I can’t believe they dodged that bullet.
And Joe confessing was heart breaking.
Honestly, all of this is heart breaking.
These players are taking is very seriously.
Special Forces: World’s Toughed Test – I was really worried
when they started interviewing Candace that she was going home. I did like getting to know her better, and
glad she didn’t leave. I probably would
have done the same thing with the hostages.
Keep everyone together sounds like the smartest thing in the
moment. And the tear gas? Not something I ever want to experience. I can’t fault those who baled right away.
