American Ninja Warrior (7/21) – Proving yet again that age is becoming a factor. Yes, I get that some of my favorites are going to age out, but getting the teens on there earlier is forcing them out sooner. So I’m always happy when one of the older Ninjas does well like Sean did. And, I do have to say that there were some impressive runs by the youngsters tonight. It’s not that I don’t appreciate them, it’s just that I miss those I’ve rooted for for years.
Lego Masters (7/21) – The wrong team went home. It’s rare for me to feel that way, but the two teams that had issues had issues because of their ambition and storytelling. The brother and sister team’s build was pretty safe. Yes, they had the one hiccup, but seriously? I could have done that. I was really hoping no one was going to be eliminated. But I can’t wait to see what the teams build for the finale.
Quiz with Balls (7/21) – I wish I could have heard what the rest of those questions were at the end. But I knew he wouldn’t get very far based on how much time was left in the episode. Most of those questions completely threw me, but there were a couple of questions I knew, which made me happy. As to this week’s rivalry, I couldn’t decide who to root for since I grew up near San Francisco but now live near Los Angeles.
The Librarians: The Next Chapter (7/21) – Anyone surprised by the revelation of the family connection? I thought not. Not sure I liked what they did to the Round Table, either. But there were some things I enjoyed in the episode overall. A time travel episode that built in the paradox, too.
The Snake (7/22) – Nice to see the bro trio get broken up. It will be interesting to see how things play out now with the power trio no more. I couldn’t believe how much everyone was running and jumping for that rope. Makes sense, but wow they were fast.
Destination X (7/22) – For some reason, I was thinking this was the finale. But I’ll get there soon. Not sure how I feel about gambling to move players and yourself around. And I sure didn’t pick up on those clues.
The Challenge (7/23) – Kind of a wasted episode since I can’t remember who people are until half way through the episode and most of the point was to introduce the cast, especially the newbies. But I guess next week is the official premiere.
Match Game (7/23) – It’s always interesting to see what everyone comes up with and if I would have thought of those answers at all. I think I would have matched with more celebs this week, but that’s not always the case.
Press Your Luck (7/24) – Whammie was so good during the first round, but man he made up for it at the end. Still, considering how much she won, it’s hard to feel sorry for him.
American Ninja Warrior (7/28) – I was really worried when they put Joe in the middle of the episode instead of at the end. Yes, it was tough to see him not hit a buzzer, but I was glad he still made it past this round. Some impressive finishes overall. And I loved the shout out to the celebs, especially Stephen Amell.
Lego Masters (7/28) – I got spoiled for who the winners were, and obviously, based on my comments above, I wasn’t thrilled. Yes, I would have preferred to see the brothers win since I’ve been rooting for them all season. But Sage and Ian had a better build. I can’t fault the judges for their choice.
Quiz with Balls (7/28) – I was impressed with how well the guy who won did as a whole. He really did seem to know quite a bit on things. I felt like the final questions were relatively easy. I mean, I knew them all without any second guessing, which usually means they are easy.
The Librarians: The Next Chapter (7/28) – I feel like the character development has been fairly predictable, which has made it hard for me to truly care about the characters. Still, they are continuing to grow on me. I did like the team aspect of the story. And that fight? Completely silly but still so much fun. I couldn’t keep myself from grinning as I was watching the cartoonishness of it all.
The Snake (7/29) – I seriously don’t see what Kathryn thinks she is doing. If you literally lie to everyone in the game, they are going to figure it out, stop trusting you, and send you home. I think she is on very thin ice, and I’m not sure how she can keep from being sent home next. It will be interesting to see if she squirms her way out of it or not.
Destination X (7/29) – I was rooting for Peter, but I’m okay with Rick winning. I felt so badly for Biggy. I mean, he was so close. Who knows if he would have really been a threat or not, but that really hurt watching what happened to him tonight.
The Challenge (7/30) – Nice to see the UK alliance take the first hit. Especially when he got who he asked for. I’m surprised they are changing teams already. I honestly figured they’d go a few weeks before they did that. It will be interesting to see how the politics plays out next week. And when I start fast forwarding through the politics part.
Press Your Luck (7/31) – Wow, I thought the Whammie was active last week. Ruined the bonus round again, although I get why she kept going. I would have as well. But so many in the first half, too. Got to admit, I thought the winner might go into labor from all her jumping, but she made it.
