December 14th's Weekly TV Thoughts

Wipeout – Is it just me, or does the final course seem a little easier?  Definitely the first half.  Of course, if I were on it, I’d probably fall off multiple times trying to cross that beam.

Poppa’s House – I kind of liked that episode.  Still some things that went on way too long, but there were some good laughs a long the way.  Hopefully, the writers can find what works and make the show funnier.

LegoMasters – How I’ve missed this show.  Will is so silly that it makes it fun, and I love seeing what the teams come up with.  The two winners were obvious in each challenge, so I’m glad the judges agreed with me.  Seriously, I was very impressed with what both teams that won came up with.

Survivor – Not sorry to see either of them go.  Andy has been bothering me for a while, and the fact that he was such a flip flopper was also pretty bad.  Geneiveve was a bit too arrogant.  Honestly, I’d like to see Rachel gone for the same reason, but my gut says she is going to be in the final three.  Speaking of which, next week, with all they still have to cover, I bet we hardly get any reunion.  Again.  Seriously, stop it already.  We like to see that.  Trim elsewhere.

The Challenge – So, who sponsored the episode?  I didn’t quite get it.  As annoying as the sponsorship stuff is on The Amazing Race, this seemed so much worse.  Having said that, the challenge itself looked terrifying, but I’m not a fan of heights.  And the difference in the strategies in the elimination certainly paid off.

Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking – Considering I had no idea what I would have done with a time turner, I’m very impressed with what that team came up with.  Obviously, the judges were, too.  I agree with the results.  I feel both of those teams needed more time to make the pieces look their best.

Happy’s Place – Considering the episodes where they focused on the sisters have been some of my least favorite so far, I was a bit worried about this one.  I shouldn’t have been.  It was very fun and funny.  I think they’ve finally found the dynamic between those characters to make them funny and not cringe worthy.  And the subplot was fun, too.   I still think last week’s is my favorite episode of the season so far (and why wasn’t the Christmas episode this week?), but this was still very fun.
