Jenny’s Choice

brooklyn991213smallLast week on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, we basically met the complete opposite of Jake and Rosa – cop partners from Sweden who were there to find stolen diamonds. They were all sorts of touchy-feely, waaaaaaay too far into each other’s personal business (*snicker* The best line of the night was that he already had his sperm in a tooperware container when she and her husband were trying to have a baby.), and were overly cheerful yet…condescending, too. Of course, Jake and Rosa don’t touch, don’t talk, certainly don’t share sperm, and much to Jake’s disappointment, don’t even share things like what he should get Amy for their anniversary or that Rosa and Marcus broke up. In the end, they were able to solve the case and Rosa not only helped Jake out with a gift idea, but she shared that she has a new boyfriend – only admitting his name was…*gasp* Tom *gasp*…after she’d downed a bunch of shots.

I love the show this year. It’s fun seeing the different pairings working together, and I love that we know Jake and Amy are together but it hasn’t affected anything negatively in terms of the show or how they work together, etc. Tonight is the fall finale, and it was a fantastic episode (gotta love the press screening rooms. *grin*). One of my favorites. There’s some great scenes with Jake and Charles, which are always fun, and an awesome story line with Capt. Holt, Rosa, and Amy. Overall, it’s a great way to go into the fall break.

On tonight’s episode, “Yippie Kayak,” Jake, Charles and Gina are involved in a real-life Die Hard situation while off-duty on Christmas Eve, and Terry must leave his family celebration to try to save his squad. Meanwhile, Amy tries to prove she’s just as tough as Holt and Rosa. Dean Winters, Merrin Dungey, and Jamal Duff guest star.

To see what predicament Jake, Charles, and Gina find themselves in, tune in to FOX at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, The Librarians, Jill and Jessa: Counting On, Agent X, Holiday Baking Championship, CSI: Cyber, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 12/11/15

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Kyle’s Choice

theamazingracesmallLast week’s penultimate episode of the season of The Amazing Race was so tense and put me through a roller coaster of emotions. It was first week that the green team finally lost their lead and made some nearly costly mistakes. For the detour, the teams had to choose between cutting out fabric patterns for a suit or looking through a pile of old cell phones to find one that worked. The cheerleaders, reporters, and paparazzi all went for the former, while the green team chose the latter. The green team got lucky and finished quickly; however, instead of just talking the 2-minute walk to their next destination, they took a cab that ended up driving them around in circles for an hour. And after that, they took the wrong ferry to the next challenge.

At the House of Dancing Water show, one team member had to dive off a ship 30 feet in the air into a pool of water and look for fish. The reporters and paparazzi finished on their first try, but the cheerleaders had trouble finding the fish, and it took 20 minutes to reset the challenge after each attempt. The girls were on their second or third attempt when the green team finally showed up, but they failed again. On the next attempt, the green team found their fish, but the girls did not.

When the green team got to the mat, they discovered they had a thirty-minute penalty for taking the wrong ferry, plus another 25 minutes since the ferry they took was closer. (I think the producers, like us, also really wanted to see the green team gone!) The girls finally completed the challenge but had some taxi trouble, which delayed them just enough to arrive minutes after the green team was checked in.

I was so happy, cheering at my TV, at the chance that green would be eliminated (I can’t stand Justin!) while also screaming for the girls to find that stupid fish! The final 15 minutes of the episode were so tense, and I was so devastated to see the green team make it to the finals. (But Jenny was thrilled.)

Tonight, the final three battle it out to win. While I would be happy with either the reporters or the paparazzi winning – anyone but Justin! – I would prefer the reporters to take home the prize.

On tonight’s episode, “We Got a Chance, Baby! (Long Island, New York),” season 27 ends with the final three teams racing on Long Island, N.Y., to the finish line.

Find out who takes home the prize tonight on CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Undateable, Truth Be Told, Grimm, MasterChef Junior, Bob’s Broken Sleigh, Z Nation, and The Knick.
