Only Murders in the Building – As the episode was starting, I got to thinking about the twist from last week, and it stopped making sense to me. But then they reframed things and everything made perfect sense. Very well done season overall. And they saved the building. The only question I’m left with it, how has it been five years for them since most of the seasons start right after the last one ended. This is only the second time we’ve had a time jump, right? I guess the murders take longer to solve than the couple of months I’d given them. That ending? Yes, I was laughing. Not the victim I thought it would be. Glad to hear it’s been renewed for season six!
Dancing with the Stars – There were some great dancing. I feel for Elaine. I hope she is doing okay and is able to come back strong next week. They didn’t leave Andy in the bottom three, which was a surprise. Jen never really caught my attention, but I’m still sorry to see her go. At this point, it’s hard to see anyone go.
Shifting Gears – Not the biggest fan of the episode. Maybe it’s just the mood I’m in (didn’t laugh at another sitcom I watched earlier in the evening), but I also didn’t find the subject matter that great. The ending scene was touching. I’ll give it that. And I liked the meta jokes. They just should have had something about Galaxy Quest. Especially coming from Stitch. Heck, he barely had two lines all week.
The Challenge – A couple of interesting challenges. At this point, I am over the alliance vs alliance thing. I’m hoping we aren’t too far from the final because I’m more than ready to see who winds up at the end and who wins.
Survivor – I’m not sorry to see Shannon go. She was annoying me. As much as I’ve talked about how annoying it is to constantly be having them break up the merged tribe into smaller groups (which I still stand by), I did like this twist on things. Looks like it is only for one episode, but still, it was nice to see just a little bit of different scrambling and dynamics before we merge.
The Amazing Race – A rather boring episode. Were there any position changes? Yeah, a couple of people got lost, but it
doesn’t appear to have been for very long.
Hopefully, they shake things up again next week.
