Let’s talk the traders podcast for 28 yesterday with Rachel Riley. We spent a lot of time talking about it. And one of the things that we talked about was, Oh my gosh, there’s going to be an explosion in the turret.
The word I used a word I learned yesterday. There’s going to be an explosion in the turret when the episode starts, because last week’s episode ended with Danielle and Carolyn and Boston Robb arriving at the turret. And we knew that. Danielle had targeted Carolyn. Well, the explosion was more of like, I don’t know, a dud because Carolyn said, let’s throw it all out there.
And Danielle’s like. You know what? I’m sorry. I’ll get this fixed. And that was it. And then they all hugged. And they agreed not to go after each other. And I was like, okay, that really bombed. That not exactly what anybody thought was going to happen. It was definitely disappointing in the moment. So then the episode goes on.
They murder Bob H. Whatever. Bob H. barely spoke this season that I saw. And then the mission starts. I swear these missions are the stupidest thing about the show. Thank you to everybody who did let me know that. 250, 000 is not a guarantee on this show. Every week when they play for a mission, they’re looking to add to the pot.
Okay, great. These missions are stupid. I literally don’t care about them. I understand that there might be some strategy involved of who’s looking to go get a shield, who is saying things and who’s kind of running off and having private conversations. I get it. Just I wish. The missions were, I don’t know, different.
The explosiveness happened at banishment ceremony because going into it, Carolyn found out about Danielle again. And what’s weird is. Well, let’s talk about banishment. Boston Rob did it again being targeted throws out a great story Spins it on Wes when everybody threw it at him Derek threw it on Rob and saying look you did this You said this and the guy you eliminated was the person that brought up your name.
You’re a traitor I’m voting for you And then Rob did a whole story where he spun it on Wes and Wes ends up going home by a vote of 7 to 5 now Also, within the same banishment ceremony, Danielle votes for Rob, and Carolyn votes for Danielle. I mean, the traitors, this is the messiest group of traitors.
Granted, we have a small sample size, only three seasons. Because Edmer watched any of the overseas editions. But, this group of traitors, Rob, Danielle, and Carolyn, just an absolute hot mess. They literally all just hugged at the last turret saying, Let’s not go after each other and then here’s Carolyn going after Danielle and Danielle putting in a vote for Rob Here’s the thing that I was slightly confused by when they went to the tour We actually got the turret discussion after banishment after Wes was gone He reveals that he’s a faithful and Danielle’s got her head in her hands because she’s like, oh shit I voted for Rob and he’s not gone and Carolyn can’t wait to get up to turret to confront Danielle But here’s the thing, while yes, Danielle did target Carolyn, it seemed like she targeted Carolyn before last week’s banishment ceremony.
Because, did she really hug her and say I’m not coming after you and then throw out her name again? I didn’t really see that. It seems like Carolyn’s saying, People were bringing you up saying you were throwing my name out, which is correct. Carolyn’s not wrong there. I just think it happened before the last turret meeting.
I don’t think it happened after. So Danielle, while she has thrown out Carolyn’s name, she was going after Rob on this banishment. So between last banishment and this one. She had gone after Rob. She went after Rob. If she wanted to get Carolyn out, wouldn’t she have written Carolyn’s name down? At last night’s banishment?
I don’t know. I got a little confused on the timing there and I think things were probably shot out of order. Well, they were shot in order. I just think editing definitely left out exactly when Danielle was throwing Carolyn’s name out in relation to when Banishment ceremonies took place because in last night’s episode, from the time they murdered Bob H till the time we ended the episode last night with the three of them in the turret, I don’t remember Danielle bringing up Carolyn’s name as a, we need to get her.
She was on the, we need to get Rob out trained. So, so Carolyn’s not wrong, but I also think, don’t think Danielle is wrong. I think when Danielle said at the beginning of the episode that started with the ending of last week’s turret meeting. Hey, I’ll take care of it. I’ll, I’ll squash it. I got the impression that that’s what she did.
And she just never brought up Carolyn’s name. But then Carolyn comes to her and says, you were bringing up my name. People came to me and said that it’s like, okay, but they, they did. We know that, but when did they, and I think editing got a little tricky there. Either way, it’s another shit storm coming next week because Danielle voted for Rob, Carolyn voted for Danielle.
Rob’s like, what the hell’s going on? They don’t even know who to murder now. Those three are coming after each other and basically Carolyn is like no more and Danielle’s like well I’m gonna defend myself and she’s like, okay, but all you’re gonna do is tell lies So they’re basically going at each other next time It looks like one of those two is going home and probably Danielle because nobody thinks Carolyn just the way she acts Is a threat to be a traitor, but it should be a damn good episode.
I will say that I wanted to talk about a show that just premiered this week that I just started watching and Boy, is it good? If you have Hulu, there’s a show called paradise that started this past Monday premiered this past Monday. First three episodes were released actually Tuesday. They came out, I think they actually released the first episode last Sunday as a surprise, and then Tuesday they released episodes two and three.
And then from here on out, it comes out every Tuesday, not Monday. Sorry about that. So the first three episodes of paradise, here’s what you need to know. If you’re a, this is us fan, just know that the creator or one of the main writers of this is us. Wrote Paradise and decided to cast Our boy Randall, Sterling K.
Brown, as the lead actor in Paradise. Now, even though I’m a spoiler guy, I don’t want to give you the spoiler of what this main thing is. Because the end of the first episode, just like the end of the first episode of This Is Us, if you remember back to that, that’s when we learned that Gosh, am I going to get these names wrong?
Randall, Kevin what was Chrissy Metz’s name? Oh, gosh, Jesus, you’re going to kill me. How did I watch every episode of This Is Us and not remember Chrissy Metz’s, Metz’s character name? Obviously, Randall, Kevin, the three siblings. Anyway, remember, the very first episode of this, as you’re watching the very first episode of This Is Us, you’re just thinking that these are three people all celebrating their birthday on the same day and they’re not intertwined, and then we find out Not only are they not intertwined, they’re all siblings.
Kate, of course, the name pops into my head just now. Kate, Randall, and Kevin, we find out. Very end of the first episode, like last segment, we find out, Oh shit, these three are siblings. Well I can tell you right now, on Paradise, the way, if you’ve seen the premiere for the show, you’ve seen a trailer for the show, it’s a little misleading because they don’t want to give away what’s kind of actually happening in this show.
And I will say, the last scene of episode one flips the whole show on its head. And it’s nothing you’ll probably ever could have predicted, but it’s really good. So the, the basic premise of the show is James Marsden is the president of the United States and Sterling K. Brown is a guy by the name of Xavier Collins, and he plays a secret service agent for the president.
That’s what I’ll give you. And then at the end of the first episode, all shit gets turned on its head. You’re like, holy crap. And then episodes two and three dive deeper. And I will say this about the show. If you watch This Is Us, and you know Dan Fogelman, and the way he likes to do his shows, this show is kind of in the same vein of This Is Us in terms of the storytelling is done through a lot of backstories and a lot of flashbacks.
So you’re going from present day to a scene in the past where it explains things about the characters. Just know that. Excellent, excellent show. I can’t wait. I’ve already started reading articles on it. I started reading an article that Dan Fogelman did, the creator of the show. He said he had this idea before he even started This Is Us, and then once This Is Us was over He thought about it again and said, I think I want to do this.
But he also said he has a three season plan for the show. So it’s not like he’s just thinking one episode at a time, or I did first season. If they pick me up for a second season, then I’ll start thinking about it. He says, even though they haven’t been picked up for a season two or season three yet, he says, I’ve got a three season plan for this show.
I don’t want it to go any further than that. So it’s called paradise. It’s on Hulu. And it’s excellent. I would never stray you wrong if you like mystery and you like kind of having to think during your television shows and try and find clues and Easter eggs to thing. This is the show for you. Absolutely loved it.
Can’t wait till next Tuesday. Now, granted, first episode is eight. First season is eight episodes of what I read. So the first three episodes are out. Episode four coming out next Tuesday. And then it’s every Tuesday after that for eight episodes. And then I’m assuming this show is going to get picked up for a season two.
I don’t see how it doesn’t. It’s really, really good. Jennifer Love Hewitt went on. I’ve always had a trouble pronouncing Blossom’s name. Is it Mayim Bialik? Yeah, I think that’s it, right? Mayim Bialik. She went on Mayim Bialik’s podcast and they talked about how she was so sexualized in her teen years. You know, she was on the cover.
She was voted Maxim magazine, sexiest woman. But she talked about the fact that she would do the talk show circuit while she was still 16 years old. When she did, I know what you did last summer. She was 16 and obviously they always had her in tank tops that were very revealing of her chest. We all know this.
And she said. Basically, when she used to do the talk show circuit, grown men would be openly talking about her breasts on a talk show. And people were laughing about it. She said, I didn’t even remember that. In hindsight, it was very strange to become a sex symbol for people before I even knew what that was.
And she was kind of looking at it and talking about it. And, again, this kind of goes back to, well, what was the culture back in the early 2000s? This is what it was. She’s not lying. You want to find something totally cringeworthy that could never happen in a million years? On a late night talk show. Now go Google Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Craig Ferguson. I don’t know what year it was probably late. I actually, I don’t even know what year it was. It wasn’t any time in the last 10 or 15 years. I know that probably before 2010 hell, I don’t even know when Craig Ferguson show went off the air, but Google Jennifer Love Hewitt, Craig Ferguson, who had the late, late show on CBS, watch that interview.
And tell me if you think that anybody in a million years could get away with that right now, he would be fired the next day. Then again, if you watch a lot of Craig Ferguson’s interviews, because these show up on my feet a lot. He was just totally inappropriate when he had good looking women on his show.
He would always make sexual innuendos about their legs, their breasts, their cleavage, all the time. And it’s just like, unfortunately, and this is an opinion, this was the culture back then. This was, this was fact. This was an opinion. It was allowed. Nobody really said anything. People probably thought, wow, that was slightly inappropriate.
Maybe you shouldn’t have said that. But nobody was getting cancelled over it as they would now. And, you know. A lot of, you know, this is the way it was. I mean, I’ve talked about this on my blog in the past, in the early 2000s. I mean, that’s what my blog was about. Like when I covered the bachelor and the bachelorette in the early 2000s, I, I would literally comment more about the women and their bodies on the show than actually covering the show itself.
So that’s what I mean. And I did it for shock value, stupid. And. You know, you just don’t realize it because you’re just going with what the culture was back then. It doesn’t excuse it, but everybody was doing it, and you can’t say that they weren’t because they are, and the evidence is out there, but yeah, it was listening to Jennifer Love Hewitt on one of the clips, seeing that, it’s just like, yeah, and you just look back on it now and like, oh my gosh, you know, she’s got daughters, she’s got a daughter, I think.
And they’re just like, what if her daughter sees that and stuff? But yeah, how do you explain that away? Anyway. Thank you all for listening. I really appreciate it. Follow me and Apple podcasts also rate and review, but you got to hit play. It’s the only way it counts as a download sports daily coming up in an hour from now.
Hope everyone has a great, great weekend. Fortunately, no football this weekend other than the pro bowl, but. Hope you have a great weekend and I will talk to you.
