TVLine Asks: Is The Voice's New Twist Unfair? Was Ted Lasso Reveal A Red Herring? Should Matthew Rhys Return His Emmy? And More
We've got questions, and maybe you've got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we're lobbing queries left and right about "The Voice," "Ted Lasso," "The Beast in Me," and more!
1 | We love a good meta reference, but did you have trouble suspending disbelief when "All American" repeatedly referenced "Brown Sugar" this week — a movie that stars Taye Diggs, aka Billy Baker on this very show?
2 | After the first few minutes of the "Line of Fire" premiere, were you sure there was some way (flashbacks? something?!) the show was going to bring back Anna Chlumsky's character? And were you shocked when you learned that absolutely was not the case?
3 | On "The Voice," is the show's new First In button the most unfair-to-contestants addition yet?
4 | Who do we have to pay to make Andrea Martin a "Best Medicine" series regular?
We're also wondering...
5 | Of the many enjoyable aspects of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" paying tribute to "Gilligan's Island" this week, was the most enjoyable the realization that Glenn Howerton's Dennis is actually a dead ringer for "Gilligan's Island" professor Russell Johnson?
6 | Were you waiting for one of the "Dancing With the Stars" judges to acknowledge that Taylor Hanson took their advice and cut his hair after Week 1, to keep it from getting in his eyes as he dances? And did you have to pick your jaw up off the floor when you realized Guillermo was giving his Week 2 performance his all?
7 | What are the odds that "Law & Order: SVU" won't address that "love you" at all when Chris Meloni's Stabler returns for the 600th episode?
8 | In the season premiere of "Survivor 51," would you have wanted to see the players live like the "One World" season for a little while longer? And what do you think of the new spin on the coin flip twist?
9 | In "The Challenge: Cutthroat," how surprised were you that "Challenge" and "Survivor" champ Chris Underwood finally lost his first elimination? And now that numbers are dwindling, which team and players are you rooting for to win?
10 | Now that Roy F–king Kent and Keeley F–king Jones are back together, can the "Ted Lasso" writers promise us to never, ever break them up again? Because the journey back was... not always fun! And do we think Rupert is the one buying back shares of AFC Richmond — or is this week's "reveal" just a red herring?
We'd like to know...
11 | Should the Emmys rescind Matthew Rhys' win for "The Beast in Me," now that it's coming back for a Season 2 and is officially not a limited series anymore? (He can still keep the one he got for "Widow's Bay"!)
12 | On "The Traitors: New Blood," did Tomica and Joe select the right accomplice to join them as a traitor?
13 | How loudly did you gasp when "A Different World" power couple Dwayne and Whitley revealed they were now separated?
14 | In the "Stuart Fails to Save the Universe" finale, when Stuart admits to Denise that he once burned down the comic book store for the insurance money, should we take that as confirmation that that's what actually happened in "The Big Bang Theory" Season 7? Or since this isn't Stuart Prime, could that be what happened only in a parallel universe? And in the universe we leave them in, where the show-within-a-show also exists, what are the chances that universe's Penny is a successful actress?
15 | On "Outlander: Blood of My Blood," is it too early to 'ship Grace and Murtagh? (Because, too bad: We already 'ship it!)
