Your Ten Favorite Shows Currently on Television

Yeah, it could be editing but I think that's why I don't like Alex - all Kate seems to send out to the group is arse-covering stuff and Dan is calling it out as why she's not popular. I'm surprised he hasn't said it outright to her though.

There will be a day when Freddie sits down or wears some clothes but it will not be in 2018. It was hilarious when he dropped his trousers just to jump around and he's such an intrinsic part of what makes the show good, but you'd throttle him after 10 minutes beside him, wouldn't you. There was also a tweet somewhere pointing out he constantly uses facts are facts which is a drag race reference apparently and should be flagging him as a potential catfish?

Yes, very instructive on today's 'straight lad' but also on today's 'straight girl' if you do any of the hashtag following on twitter. After Hannah's confused pronouncement on sex in and out of relationships (which I actually agreed with once she explained, like everyone else in the house) the tide had already turned with girls attacking the female contestants for daring to slut shame Hannah.

yeah i was no fan of hannah but she certainly got the raw end of various deals. her pronouncement on sex in and out of relationships was still wrong - when you're starting to see someone, are you not, in some sense, in a relationship? tbh she was a depth-free libidinous basic and while slut-shaming isn't right her conduct left her open to...disdain, at least. her parting shot at scotty was dignified and suitably furious at least

sian and aiden are/were much more likeable as millennial straight girls go

there has been a pleasing lack of a personality type far worse than the fairly straightforward people we've seen - something that tt has coined, actually, the 'noun'. it's quite hard to explain but quirksters and quirkstrels who like cupcakes, pop culture and being random make up a large part of the contingent. the name comes from people whose usernames on the webforums she'd frequent were things like 'button' or 'apricot' or 'spoon' uh of course not everyone whose username is a singular noun is a 'noun' uh yeah totes

See I saw it as making some kind of distinction between when you start to see someone and when you're in a relationship that wasn't all that clear except in her mind. Kind of a 'when things get serious' moment.

I really liked Aiden, her bashfulness and simple pleasure when Mitchell was speaking to her was a joy ditto the little skips when she went into Kate's apartment.

I know what you mean about 'the noun' - feel like KimJoy on GBBO is a hyper-stylised and specialist version of that and not quite the more mainstream model you have in mind.

fwiw i am hoping that if kate gets knocked out, she'll be replaced by alex (as played by his girlfriend)

although that would deny us alex actually getting to meet someone (eg dan)

So no one here also watched the Cry? ;_;

or will horrid kipper fraud ryan get his frankly overdue desserts? and then go and hash it out with freddie? (oh PLEASE)

yassssss

Amazing that even once he'd met him Freddie still had to point out to Ryan he was gay.

A noun has entered the house!

lol

A "feminist"

american vandal season 2 was fantastic. they have such a command of story-telling. it's barely a parody of those true crime shows anymore and the characterization and plotting is note perfect

xp I mean technically, she's an adjective but

as for American Vandal S2, I'm sure it's great but as said elsewhere we can't watch it for actual-phobia reasons

On The Watch podcast, they said they were going for that thing that true crime TV shows do where they keep cutting back to the gruesome crime-scene photos over and over to keep you outraged and disgusted. We made it through, but I felt bad for my wife, who could barely take it. It was worth it for how great a show it is, but... yuck.

It was a lot, and it was worst during the opening scene. I got desensitized after a while, but the Brownout was hard to take

Mairead's argument against veganism is the worst thing I've ever heard, and is also why Brexit happened

Truly awful. "You're responsible for the death of all those rabbits and worms."

Although Sian thinking you had to cut a cow in half was a bit makesyouthinkemoji.

Precious is awful, she will go next I reckon.

Precious is dreadful yeah and I really hope she goes. why does Scotty keep winning everyone around? he is truly a renaissance man

I suspect he's learned the art of appearing sincere when he apologises and it's not much more than that.

Dan and Mairead meeting doesn't look like it'll be that interesting.

Precious and Harry (?) will be the next two to go, it's too late for them to do well unless someone massively fucks up. They keep broadcasting fakeouts of Freddie and Kate being caught in their catfish but it's not going to happen - unless maybe Freddie gets caught out over football by Harry since he isn't a psychic.

i really love how Dan has called EVERYTHING spot-on except kate hahaha

After the first couple of days I read on twitter:

Dan slowly falls in love with Kate
Dan finds out Kate is Alex
Dan questions his sexuality and goes with it

This might be the ultimate outcome.

well it's all gone a bit dark now

Yeah, Alex has fucked that right up.

Dan doing Oprah "...and YOU get a red flag" was the highlight of the night though.

Still sticking with Precious and Harry to the the next to go, although after tonight I actually think Freddie could fuck up before Kate (even if nobody trusts her - I think her best play now is to go to Scotty, Sian and Dan with the truth as "secrets" because they'll appreciate the honesty, although it might be too late with Dan, and may not share it with each other).

what are you guys talkin about

start a new thread

please for the love of god

First episode of Crawford-less Lethal Weapon was...ok.

Although looks like Wayans is leaving too now so can't see how it can go beyond this season.

tiny ray of hope in a soulless universe

Doogie Howser MD

yessss at the Lodge 49 renewal! was not expecting that at all.

Cool! I watched a few of them and loved it, but hadn't watched the rest of of fear of cancellation.

Oh my days Freddie doesn't know what a lifeline he's thrown Kate there, sparing her from making the deciding vote. Maybe a return gift for the mindblowing fact she told him earlier

Him thinking through his logic was undeniably right though.

Oh dear

Channel Four, what have you wrought

the girlfriend reveal...

Dan is fuming.

Alex basically has to share the money with the others if he wins

He gave Dan only 2!! Dan gave him 5! Oh god this is dreadful

This is going to be the most Pyrrhic victory ever, unless he gives...half of it to Dan

Maybe even all of it lol

He's proven himself to be just the teeniest bit of an utter dick.

Sian just called herself "a little bit Butters".

he's a youtube comedian who used to work for unilad. He's definitely an utter dick

Twitter is apparently siding with Alex over Dan, interestingly

Dan was being a dick when they met, which suits the knee jerk.

As opposed to Alex, who's just a jerk.

Channel Four has wrought the tragedy of our age. GIVE HALF OF IT TO DAN

yeah this is a bit grim tbh

This is the most traumatic thing ever
