EP 8 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
mswood:
While I liked the drama of the episode I was much less happy with the tasks.
Especially the detours that looked like they took very little time to complete, especially the bunny task. It seems like it didn't take anyone even ten minutes to complete.
It felt more like a speed bump then a detour.
At least on the dancing it seems the judges took it seriously. Compare that to Fran and Berry getting a passing job in Germany. So nice to see real judging.
Just had real problem with the detour especially one side of it.
And based solely off the previews I don't think I am going to be very pleased with those tasks either.

Ronald.. :lol: but that's the asian thing LOL.
Whose worst? I really like Gary (Mallory), Jim (Marsha), Gus (Hera), Duke (Lauren)... I don't know who else worst? LOL.

yeah but for all we know Laurence's behavior wa a cultural thing.
Check out family edition.
We have o e grief moment where Laurence plays the blame came in one leg, but besides that he never crosses a line. The closest is when he says he would have been better at a task, he has also admitted when he made mistakes. Several parent child teams have had at least one bad moment and several have said they should have done a task over the other.
And as far as blame game, Ron is vastly worse then Laurence. We had the southern Dad who caused there teams elimination and constantly blamed his son Brock over it in the Family Edition.Gus has told off Hera, and the reverse is also true and dismissed his daughter as father knows best (and I liked them).
If anything I thought Laurence just reminded my of the Dad who thinks he's cool, but isn't, something many people have experience with.
Prophet:
Gary is a superhero! <3 :hero:
The odd thing about Laurence is that sometimes he was funny. :duno: I have to wonder if TPTB edited him to be negative since they were eliminated in that particular spot. Who knows.
mswood:
I mean Liz and Marie got into a bigger fight in the first episode then what we ever saw Zac and Laurence get into. It's just Liz and Marie were more enjoyable overall to watch.

when was he negative in this episode? Stating that your kid is having a hard time (when he clearly is) isn't being negative. Saying would have been better at the task isn't negative either. Now if he said something like we wouldn't have been eliminated if Zac wasn't a screw up, that would have been negative.
But I didn't hear anything negative or mean spirited, but I fairness the sound omy feed kept going in and out so I might have missed something, in this episode.
