And let's not forget she literally BROKE HER CONTRACT and spilled the order of eliminations weeks ago.

Pretty much, yes. And it's not just one freak-out. It's the fact that she keeps talking about this as though she was predestined to win it, as though Katya and Detox were on some different show, and weren't equally deserving of the crown. She's awful, and the overwhelming opinion on Twitter and Ru's Facebook page is

If I had realized All Stars: Season 2 was just going to be a reality show remake of Lost, I wouldn't have bothered.

Sir, I love your writing and I want to marry you, or at least subscribe to your newsletter. This is SO spot-on.

But that just fits with the modern variation of the trope, which is that the Gay character is "too good for this sinful earth."

I agree with Alex's POV, but I'm still not happy with the decision, however—especially since they brought back Gideon just to kill him one episode in.

I really wish this show hadn't succumbed to the Bury Your Gays trope.

We're at that point of the season when even the person who wins LSFYL is losing, because you just know Derrick has at best two episodes left before Girl is Gone, Girl. And Chi Chi is going to be gone with her.

Remember, the idea was that the jury was not in the room at the time. Clark's concern—probably rightly—was that his statement would get back to the jury through family visits.

That hurt more than when they took out my gallbladder.

I stopped watching Gotham five episodes before the end of the last season, but I still come here on Tuesdays to see the answer to this week's Riddle.

It's been feeling since the first moments of episode one that Paul was going to be the sacrificial lamb for this season. Setting Paul's death against a scene of the other two TDs hooking up only heightened the trope.

I like AV Club better when it wasn't grading shows on a curve.

Fuck you, True Deteczzzzzzzzzzz…

Tonight was hopefully a glimpse of the show Ballers has had the promise to become all season. I'm keeping with it in the hope that like another Florida-set sitcom with a bad title and a worse premise, it'll find it's footing in season two and take advantage of its solid cast to produce something that rises above.

D-: God's taken a buyout for early retirement?

Poor Rosie Larsen.

Pizzolotta co-wrote part of Season 1 of The Killing, so, yes.
