Looks like the new episodes are now on every Monday at 11:05. I’ll use a box in case anyone is still watching it on Tuesdays. This week’s episode was good, plenty of funny moments, but wasn’t it supposed to be 90 minutes? It was only an hour. [spoiler]I predicted they were going to keep Ingrid, but I was surprised that they let her in on the joke. And wasn’t Matt supposed to be in this episode? Maybe he’s the “message from the past” next week…[/spoiler] ---

Weird, last week even Tivo said this week would be 90 minutes. I guess Spike had a change of plans for some reason. Anyway, [spoiler] I think they _may_ have salvaged things. I’m glad they gave up on Ingrid, but I dunno about her staying on as an actor. Like (TJ? or was it Gerald?) said, it’s hard enough to do if you’re a trained actor. But so far, so good. And I’m glad they brought in another shmo, even though she’s missed out on a lot. Ingrid’s a smart cookie. She even picked up on Tim being another Shmo. Tim seems like a really sweet guy from the lie detector test. I’m wondering if he got more questions than the others or if they editted them down to the funny ones. No Matt? Weird… 10 bucks say Bryce will be back soon peering in the windows. Great acting in his farewell.[/spoiler] ---

It’s been on twice now, so we’re done with the spoilers. After catching it again last night, I noticed Bryce saying, “Mockingbird, mockingbird, mockingbird” after he was sent away! That was his hypnosis trigger for Piper. Great touch. gonzoron: Did you see the preview for next week? Looks like they’re going to riff on Big Brother, and have Bryce send an airplane banner message of love over the compound. ---

Bryce’s acting was sooooo much better than whatsherface’s from last week (Anastasia?). That was great! My only complaint this week? They should have hired the guy who did the lie detectors on _Meet My Folks_ to do this one. I love that guy. ---

I read on another forum that Spike wanted the episode cut to 60 minutes because they noticed their ratings falling off after midnight (apparently sleeping is more important than JS2 to some folks), and if the show ran until 12:40, that would drag down the average ratings for the entire episode. Ratings were also behind the move from Tuesdays to Mondays. When Monday’s show after WWE was a repeat, it got better ratings than the new episode on Tuesday, so they just moved the new episode to Monday after WWE. ---

> [@Liberal](#): > > I think they had them ham it up because they’re going to eliminate Ingrid. The extra half-hour next week is possibly for the purpose of following her storyline into the production booth. My guess is she returns as one of the actors. How about some props to **Lib** for nailing this prediction? ---

Yup, the setup… annnnnnd the payoff. comedy gold. I wonder what Amanda thought, though. Unless someone filled her in on what happened at dinner. > [@](#): > > gonzoron: > > Did you see the preview for next week?
