The voice: I kind of love the steal.
Mee too. And it fixes one of the big frustrations from earlier seasons where really strong people were up against each other. Better and more fun this way.
TAR:
The Sri Lankan girls are growing on me. But I can't imagine those fish were ever destined for anything but cat food.
It seems weird to talk about "deserving" to go to the end this early in the game. But there's no one clearly odious or out of their depth yet, so that's a good start.
It is a shame that the woman with the prosthetic legs was brought down by a taxi driver, though!
For sure. At least they weren't the only ones who had issues, I guess.
OK, WTF? Now they aren't showing all of the battles? I possibly take back what I said about stretching out the season.
Also, Melanie Martinez should be the official Rookie songstress, no?
Right? I rewound the whole thing to be sure.
Face Off: I am biased against any kind of live action Seuss looks, but some of these were pretty cool. Also, the one judge really looked like a Seuss character when the camera was cutting from the make up to the judges.
Eta; and that's the elimination I've been waiting for for weeks!
Survivor: Enjoying this season so far. I am really liking Malcolm. And I was totally surprised by Peter's masterful clue-plant. Abi is a total loose cannon, but fun to watch. I find Lisa W. a simp and don't understand why she isn't playing the TV star card for all it's worth.
I like Denise a lot too, particularly for her attitude. In the first ep I think she said something like "whether I belive in god or not, I'm pretty sure he's not going to reach down and win these challenges for us. Instead I will try harder" or some such. [Not that that's really working out so well.] And "There's three of us. My alliance may or may not hold but it's not some grand betrayal if it doesn't." I just wish I thought she was going to get far enough to expose more than like three people to this radical thinking.
Yeah, she seems to actually understand that it's a game and have a wise attitude about it. I also love how she goes so all-in in challenges. Kick-ass older woman FTW.
