I kind of laughed when the ball kept on landing on Katie's head. Mean, I know, but the whole thing was pretty adorable.

i think it all comes down to her attitude at the judges' table. She kind of strikes me as a feminine version of Lisa from the Chicago season. Remember her whole "I dunno, because we were stupid" comment when Tom asked why they decided to serve the botched rice?

I thought Travis should've won this week, given the stark contrast between his cool approachable style and Sara's trainwreck. Though mad props to Nick for leading the purple team.

I did feel that too! Maybe it's because lately their first segments have been about the most talked-about films of the year, and they're trying to ease the listeners in to the B segment by making their conversations as interesting as possible?

I agree with you, and this is exactly my problem with the third season - it felt a bit like it was a bunch of random episodes (especially the one with all the pigs, oy that sure was a misfire) building up to this one. Though the season was built around the idea of her comeback, I was expecting it to be as well-written

I think the best sketch was the Thanksgiving turkey girl one - it was so Kids in the Hall that I was expecting the Chicken Lady to shriek randomly.

Didn't Harold from season 1 win a quickfire with a (janky-looking, as far as I could tell, but maybe it was very tasty) popcorn ceviche?

Aidy Bryant just standing there being Adele was the funniest bit of the night. And the weird laugh at the end!

Are we never going to see a full opening credits sequence this season? I kinda miss it, quite frankly

Ahhh, Kenley, the crying hot mess of Season 5

I'd watch the living hell out of Bitch Apartment

My thoughts exactly. :'(

Seconded with your point re: Amir. He never really embodied the Green Party for me - Svend-Age, Anne-Sophie and (to a lesser extent) Pernille, Thorsen and Troels really felt like they were trying to push for their party's stands on many things, and Amir felt like he was just… there. Or maybe I just see it like that

I agree - this episode really is the deus ex machina-est of the entire series. The way the car salesman showed the photo of his son to Birgitte, as if it were a loaded gun, was the campiest most awesome thing I've ever seen on this show.

Not really a complete letdown - there were only two storylines that I had huge issues with but apart from that it was sort of at par with season 2.

What made the TV1 interview (and how rehearsed and fake it was) more depressing is how at some point during the earlier episodes, Birgitte and Phillip were sitting on the couch of their weird house, seated next to each other in a very loving way, watching and mocking the TV1 appearance of Lars Hesselboe and his wife.

As much as I love Diane Kruger (and her acting skills), I liked Sofia Helin's take on Sonya Cross/Saga Noren more. Sonya feels devoid of emotion, Saga is unable to process emotion (which in my head is different from having no emotion at all). I dunno, I got too distracted by Diane Kruger.

She was also in The Lucky One as Zac Efron's squeeze (the only bright spot in that incredibly depressing and trite film). Glad to see she finally got a role fit to her talents.

I also love the fact that she referenced the fact that she looks a lot like Jennifer Lawrence in the O'Nutters sketch. Which she kind of does - a more sexually liberated, less insane version of Lawrence.

The second season dives further into Kasper's past, but the sudden introduction of his interesting (and very messed-up) backstory is a little jarring.
