  1. I think her usefulness is about used up, so hoping she doesn't come back. They would need to create a new story for her and after a while that just gets old.
  2. Posters in the Yellowstone thread: This show sucks, the writing sucks, what a stupid plot, makes no sense, I hate that I watch it but not enough to stop, Beth is a bitch but I’ve been watching this shitty show for 5 seasons because occasionally I get a shot of her cleavage and I’m extremely thirsty and desperate, ugh how many more seasons will Taylor Sheridan force me to suffer? Posters in The White Lotus thread: This show is amazing, keeps getting better, can’t wait to see what happens but I’m sad that the finale is coming up, Lucia and Mia are both hot and we’ve seen them both topless and can’t decide which is better, maybe Valentina or Daphne will also strip down, wonder who dies, can’t wait for season 3.
  3. Agree with most others that this was my least favorite season. Not terrible, just not great. I liked the historical tie-ins of the early seasons, and now that is fading away and being replaced by tabloid marital disputes. Perhaps that mirrors real life, and perhaps that symbolizes the status of the Royal Family in the modern world. Most of my knowledge of the RF comes from The Crown and from googling shit after watching these episodes, so I could be completely misguided in my thinking, but my criticisms of season 5 are this: 1. It seems they softened Charles up, starting with the casting of Dominic West, as if to portray him as a man who screwed up a little bit but is mostly misunderstood and overall still a decent guy and worthy of our respect. 2. It seems they similarly downplayed Diana’s strong points - her glamour, social charms, and humanitarian work. She’s portrayed as a combination of depressed, awkward, confused, vindictive, and reclusive. Is that accurate? 3. Queen Elizabeth is basically a grandma who sits on her couch and struggles with the TV, or worries about her yacht, but does very little of importance. Regarding the first 2 points, I wonder if the RF has finally influenced the production of this show to make Charles appear less vile than he actually is. And finally, I thought for sure this would end with Diana’s death or at least let the final scene be her getting into the car. Seems better to end a season with that tragedy than to start a new season with it.
  4. Good season and I liked all of the final 3 teams. Slightly wanted the twin sisters to win because I think they have the best story, but kudos to Derek and Claire. I do miss the old Amazing Race pre-Covid, back when teams would have to book their own travel and gamble on tight connections, and when double U-turns would shake up the power rankings and create sketchy alliances and bitter rivals. Now it’s just happy-go-lucky help each other until the end, and teams teleport from one city to the next off screen. Too clean and boring. I suspect this format is here to stay.
  5. I assumed it was a budget piece of furniture. I know one person who has one and I’ve sat on it enough times. Never thought of it as being overly comfortable or stylish, just kinda meh, something good for a college apartment. Had no idea people were spending $5k+ on them until seeing this thread.
  6. Annoyed me too, but then I started thinking, it probably hurts like hell and it's in the forefront of her mind and it's hard not to comment on it. Even if she only mentions it once every couple of hours, the editors can take each of those comments and put them in the episode so that we hear it condensed into one hour. Makes it sound like she is whining non-stop when that may not truly be the case.
  7. I agree that Harper believes that, but she’s mad at Ethan because he expresses no interest in her. Ethan flat out sucks. He’s terrible at communicating with Harper and everyone else. She told him she doesn’t think he’s attracted to her anymore and he did nothing to reassure her, only eventually giving out an obligatory “I love you” without the slightest bit of affection or intimacy. She’s begging for affection or reassurance and he doesn’t know how to give it. She’s beyond caring if he cheated on her or not. She’s decided that if he won’t fight for her, she’ll do her own thing and maybe stir up a little jealousy in the process to get back at him.
  8. I feel like once this situation with Tanya and Greg runs its course, then both characters have served their usefulness. Keeping Tanya around in season 3 would start to get tiresome, especially if she is the only character to keep showing up. So from that standpoint, I wouldn’t mind her dying to close out her story arc. Then they could pick Harper or someone else to move forward in season 3.
  9. I suspect the prenup is invalid in the event of her death, like if she does a bunch of coke and falls off the deck of the yacht. They definitely paid Jack to distract Portia for the day/night so they would have Tanya isolated.
  10. Swimming and driving a stick shift. It seems like every season, one team goes home over this.
  11. Just double checked episode 2 and Ethan is watching a porn of a girl masturbating by herself. So I really doubt the theories that he's gay. He probably has a porn addiction and can't connect directly with Harper because of it. I would not be surprised if Harper ends up in a threesome with Cam/Daphne, or possibly just hooks up with Cam directly. They already told us that Cam would make a point of hooking up with whatever girl Ethan liked. Also, Harper has a look in her eyes like she is interested in doing something bad for the sake of doing something bad, as well as to get back at Ethan for A) rejecting her advances and B) partying with hookers.
  12. I think he was looking at straight porn that morning he came back from his run. Maybe he has a porn addiction and can't perform properly with Harper. She offered it to him a couple of times and he turned her down. He seems very insecure in his relationship with Harper as well as in his social interactions with Cam/Daphne.
  13. I suspect someone will either be murdered or commit suicide on that little island.
  14. In the opening scene, Rocco tells Valentina that “a few” guests have died. Tanya seems like a likely candidate to die, but it can’t just be her.
  15. On the one hand, he claims to be rich and he’s on a lavish vacation. On the other hand, if he could easily get $1,300, you would think he would want to clear his debt with Lucia to put it behind him and avoid a public confrontation with her. Also, it’s funny that Cam owes $1,300 but Albie owes $2,000. Cam got an overnight with both girls. Albie only got Lucia and got a higher rate.
  16. Lol, it looks like Texags has reversed course on Jimbo. Turns out he’s a great coach after all. Extension time!
  17. You guys are still watching this show?
  18. That was a great episode. I knew some kind of evidence would be in Ethan’s room, figured it we be a thong or something, but the condom wrapper was perfect. Harper might murder someone. Interesting that even though Cam and Daphne have cheated on each other, they seem at peace with that situation and are the happier couple. When they are alone, they seem happy. Meanwhile Harper and Ethan seem completely miserable together. The entire sequence with Mia and Giuseppe was hilarious. Mia and Lucia frolicking around the hotel and gradually interacting with each guest is great. “I need to fuck him right now.” “I’ve created a monster.”
  19. He looks lost out there and it’s pretty easy to think the hype and the NIL money have gone to his head. Hopefully the extra practice for the bowl game helps, and hopefully he dedicates himself in the offseason to becoming better. The beard and the mullet are only cute when the on field performance is good.
  20. I definitely think it would be better to watch it weekly rather than to binge it. It would help to have a break between Roman’s endless diatribes and Logan’s endless fuck offs.

  22. I finished the first 3 seasons. Pretty mixed feelings. There are times when it is great, but times when it is awful and feels like a chore to continue watching. Tom and Greg are easily the best part of the show. So many great scenes with the 2 of them on screen together, but the best part was Tom sticking the knife in Shiv's back in the finale. I was probably ready to check out until that moment, but I may keep watching to support #freeTom. The narrative absolutely sucks. Company in huge debt, let's find a billionair "friend" to fix it. Then there's a bear hug and proxy vote that lasts multiple seasons and goes nowhere. Then they suddenly have extra money to buy Pierce except that Pierce doesn't want to be bought. Then they want to buy Mattson except that their company sucks again and Mattson wants to buy them. It's an endless cycle of almost takeovers and mergers that always turn out the same. Cruises are kind of a huge problem except not really problem at all. Someone has to go to jail, no wait nevermind no one needs to go to jail. Boring and entirely predictable. The Roy kids are all insufferable. Roman is probably the worst because his dialogue is like listening to 13 year old Seth Rogan hurl insults at everyone around him. Continually. Shiv is a horrible person. Kendall is probably bipolar or has some other severe psychiatric issues, compounded by substance abuse and a history of killing someone, and it's just hard to watch him on screen. I think some of the flaws were tolerable for 1-2 seasons, but to keep adding seasons with essentially the same content will get tiresome. I predict there will be some technicalities in season 4 that prevent Mattson from doing a clean takeover, so that will drag on for most of the season and eventually they will be back to square one with Logan in charge and each Roy sibling fighting for the CEO position that will never come.
  23. Finally watched the first 3 episodes. I’m enjoying it although not quite as much as the first. Definitely missing Armond, although I think the new hotel manager will be very interesting in ways we don’t fully appreciate yet. I suspect Greg’s entire reason for being married to Tonya is to get some of her money. I wouldn’t be surprised if the person on the phone is his true partner and he is merely a con man. Four previous marriages could be four previous targets. I liked Jennifer Coolidge in the first season but I find her pretty annoying so far in this one. She seems like a crazy person with a pill addiction who is both narcissistic and completely spaced out at all times. I’m rooting for Portia and Mia.
