May 17th's Weekly TV Thoughts

As with last week, there are some spoilers below.

Tracker – That’s the big reveal?  Sorry, but that was pretty much sharing nothing new.  Going into this episode, I thought I’d be willing to watch at least some of next season depending on what we learned here.  Not really enough.  Yes, I guess I’m very much an impatient person, but I had hoped for more than this by the end of season two.  Meanwhile, I knew the person he was tracking down this episode was dead from the beginning.  At least, here, I felt like it was set up and made sense, unlike some of the random death’s we’ve had all year.

Suits LA – What did we learn in the flashback?  Pretty much nothing.  Some fun moments.  Louis Litt was always a character who could get very annoying in the original Suits, and he was more annoying than entertaining here.  So many jokes they didn’t need to be making.  I hope we get a good enough resolution next week since the show has now been cancelled.

Survivor – You’ve got to feel for Shaheen.  He was voted out by people who trusted him because other people lied to them.  Yes, it’s the game, but it’s brutal at times.  At least he won the reward challenge.  I’m sure he would have preferred to win immunity.

The Amazing Race (Wednesday) – I’m so upset with that cliffhanger.  I need to know if I will be grumbling all through Thursday’s episode or not.  Seriously, Jonathan, take a chill pill!  I just can’t.  I mean, look at how he treated his wife about stepping in front of him in line.  Meanwhile, look at how the other married couple are handling their stress.  They aren’t constantly at each other.  Yes, she’s having to calm him down some, but they are behaving in a much more civilized manner.  If they wind up out, I’m going to be upset.  Meanwhile, I’m curious if the prize for first place this leg was the upgrade, or if all the teams are going to get that.

The Amazing Race (Thursday) – I was hoping that broken tile would be more of a hindrance.  Oh well, at least they weren’t fighting and actually seemed to be supportive.  I found it funny that all the teams paddled through the sailing challenge.  And they all did them in the same order.  The order made sense, and I would have done it that way, too.  But I like a scramble where they don’t know where everyone else is.  Makes it fun for something different.  Of the three teams left, I was happy with who won.
