A thing I liked from Sunday's TAR: How all (or most, at least) of the women who were like, "Ooh! A beauty pageant! I will kill at that!" still thought so after they learned it was camels.
It kind of drove home how artificial pageant standards are.
I thought Ciera voting her mom out last night was pretty big, in Survivor standards. I was wondering from the beginning if any of the couples would do that. (Or if any of them would be given the opportunity. Most were split up by other votes before the merge.)
I agree, Jessica. My DH felt that Ciera was selfish and unpleasant and he really lost respect for her for doing that. I understand her strategy, myself, even though I don't think it's actually going to get her much farther in the game.
I'm not sure it will get her to the final three, but it will get her farther than she would have otherwise. With her mom around, she couldn't make any other deals - now she has room to maneuver.
I'm sure Redemption Island plays into it too - she didn't vote her mom out out.
OK, I just saw last week's PR (the classroom materials challenge) and I do not understand the decision to keep everyone AT ALL. WTF?
And now that I've seen this week's, I guess they've been working so hard to keep Jeffrey on because they knew menswear was coming up?
Man, I loved Irina's look. I don't think I've ever said that before, but that was beautiful.
Good news for Sing-Off fans: [link]
I'd love a whole season, but I'll take what I can get.
I am excited for new Sing-Off, but there will never be another Pentatonix, so I feel like it's doomed to disappoint me.
I feel the same as flea.
I've so enjoyed previous seasons and fear I won't like be as happy with the new format and attitude.
I think the stunt scheduling is fine, partly because I watch too many shows in general, and kind of like the idea of getting it over with. In the best possible way.
Didn't The Sing Off start out as a holiday/Christmas season show? I may be misremembering. At any rate, I'm just happy that it's coming back because I so love this show. As long as Ben Folds and Shawn Stockman are still in, I'm in. I don't have strong feels about Jewel taking over for Sarah Barielles. Anyone is going to be better than Nicole Scherzinger, so there you go.
