Go Anh!
Good to see increase in 5 bedrooms.
Im still watching the Good Fight but Im starting to get a bit sick of the Trump storylines. Just go back to focus on court room battles.
I gave up midway last week, didn’t bother with this week. The constant anti-Trump lines killed it for me. I thought this was a courtroom series.
I watched real time last night (usually watch On Demand)….I thought is was another really great episode….People are missing out…*sad*….
I don’t watch Colbert as he is always Trump bashing…no opinion one way or the other…but it does get ..same old/same old.
I really enjoyed Ahn interviewing Danni last night, although I had read most if what she said in her autobiography.
I’m enjoying 5 bedrooms. Such a well made show, totally jealous of Doris Younane for having a sneaky pash with Steve Peacocke though.
Take a number.
Its a great show. I hope they build more rooms ?
I want to like TBYG, I really do, I love Shaun. But the team captains just aren’t engaging enough for my liking. They just don’t have the appeal that the originals had, not big enough personalities. And I think this means that the guests haven’t had as much material to ‘bounce off’ and the quality of the guests hasn’t felt as high. I’ve tried each episode, but then switch over to Anh – every time.
For me it was the emphasis on the silly games that turned me off. I didn’t think it was so over the top in the original show and it at least attempted to have valid questions and answers, but they all seem to be jokes and Micallef making up the rules is it goes along.
Something has happened to this season, and it suddenly now feels out-of-kilter. It feels like segments are chopped off mid-way, games are announced and then we cut to ads which mucks up Shaun’s flow of comedy. Someone has fiddled with the true format, and made a right mess.
I haven’t seen enough to comment, but it is the same producers as 10 days. Maybe it’s a post-production thang.
