July 12th's Weekly TV Thoughts

American Ninja Warrior – I also get so incredibly nervous when Joe runs.  Glad he made it.  Nice to see Rob again even if he didn’t make it very far.  Not too many fast finishers, but an impressive number of finishers overall.

 Lego Masters – I correctly picked the top two teams.  I preferred the other team’s build, but it’s hard to argue since both were impressive.  At this point, it really does get hard to see teams go.  They’ve all had great builds, but one issue can send you home.  And so many of them were breaking this week, too.  But only one on the runway.

 Quiz with Balls – There were some hard questions tonight, at least for me.  And some super easy ones.  How did people from Brazil get that one wrong?  Didn’t seem to be any super big swings in the game, just slow and steady people going in the pool.

 The Librarians: The Next Chapter – As much as I typically don’t like the flashback to see how we got there stories, I do enjoy something like this where we get different perspectives.  Nice to see them focusing on different characters letting us get to know them better.  And that final scene?  I’m very curious to see where they are going with that.

 The Snake – Yikes!  I get that lying and manipulating are part of the game.  But man the gaslighting is out of control.  I have such respect for the pastor walking away like that.  Yes, his fate was pretty obvious, but still, I respect him for it.  And I’m glad he didn’t turn into a manipulator like everyone else. I don’t like them adding new people this late in the game.  That just doesn’t seem right.

 Destination X – I thought they were in Venice from the clue we got they didn’t.  So seeing the players all over the place and no where close to that was interesting.  And the players reactions when they learned where they were was so fun.  Sorry to see the bold strategy didn’t pay off and the alliance was broken.

 Press Your Luck – I was so worried she was going to wind up hitting a whammy at the end.  That did seem to be the theme of the night, after all.  But she got a very nice prize package there at the end.
