American Ninja Warrior – We’re taking three weeks off? With the Olympics coming to preempt the show later in the summer? Yikes! Okay, back to what we watched this week. Good runs by quite a few of the contestants. Not sure anyone stood out to me in positive or negative ways. Always happy to see Sean Bryant do well.
The Weakest Link – They actually got further than I thought they would based on some of those rounds. Definitely a nice chunk of changes. I do agree that hearing he’s putting it into stocks is a little off putting since most people have plans for that much money. Then again, if he can invest it wisely, that will pay off well for him down the road.
Race to Survivor: New Zealand – All that drama and no one really left this week. And how many teams got stuck right before the finish line of the leg? I think it was three over two days. I would have been frustrated, too. I’m over the two teams that are constantly fighting. They can be eliminated next as far as I am concerned. And I had to laugh at the captions. At one point, they were saying the teams had completed race 1 when this is race 2. Oops.
The Acolyte – Obviously, everyone and their brother has thoughts on this episode. And I get it. Even from someone who isn’t a super Star Wars fan, I can see how what they did here goes against the franchise. I’m just going to focus on how poorly it was written. Seriously, some of that dialogue! And they tried to set up the Jedi as being evil people. I might have understood if they had explained who these witches are and what they want. Oh, and if Mae hadn’t tried to kill her sister. Seriously, that was over the top. Plus, I’m not a fan of flashback episodes. Give me the story, and don’t interrupt your story to tell me the background I need to know.
Glad you are having fun with all the games this summer.
ReplyDeleteAcolyte is a snoozefest. We did not need that entire flashback episode. It might be good to watch if I'm having trouble sleeping. :)
