I actually really like escape rooms. They're fun, even though I'm not so great with figuring out the clues. But that is one terrible escape room.

The poo poo song is both adorable and hilarious.

I like that the recent episodes have all ended with a song during the credits. This one was alright, but still pretty good compared to most things.

Not a fave. The A plot with the double date tripped my embarrassment squick so viciously that I basically had to watch the entire thing through my fingers. I also thought that the entire thing with the comfort animal was uncharacteristically mean-spirited.

Same here. If they were going to go that route, they had to really go for it with some really outlandish critter to make the joke work. A relatively well-behaved dog (other than the crotch-sniffing, but eh) just isn't funny in that scenario, so it just comes off like a dig. Totally out of the norm for BB.

I'd like to see an emotional support animal show up in media without it being a mean joke once in awhile.
