Hello, I am new to Everwood and I am really loving it! I am in the first season when the grandparents just return back to New York. I feel a bit sad because Ephram and the granddad have a great connection and I feel like he would have been better going back with his grandparents to NY. It wasn't his decision to go in the middle of nowhere and maybe he would have processed his mom's death easier if he were close to his grandparents and friends. Also NY offers more music opportunities. Of course, that would have ruined the show.

I noticed I really crave JetLag the Game on Monday mornings, when I open my laptop and my boring office job is waiting for me.

I crave adventure and new scenery :) What about you?

I think, as an audience, we don't care who wins; we care whether the choices the protagonists make are logical and make sense.

In my opinion, the editing is done more from Adam's and Ben's perspective. For example, we truly understand how exposed and vulnerable they feel (lack of challenges in the south, being more subjected to steals, etc.).

The editing doesn't make us fully understand Sam's perspective. For example, the reason they spent so many coins before the % challenge was because they actually noted it down incorrectly (they mentioned it in the layover). So we get to hear Adam's and Ben's thoughts: “Oh, that's stupid to waste coins before a % challenge.” But we don't get to hear Sam's perspective: “We actually made a mistake noting it down and now we feel so bad about it.” Without Sam's perspective, it just sounds like a bad decision.

They also mentioned that, during the whole season, Sam and Mike were not feeling like they were winning. They felt like they constantly had to defend their location and their access to challenges. However, the editing makes it look like they were confident and a bit "cocky"

I feel like this season has been edited more from Adam's and Ben's perspective, almost like a hero's journey. Badam overcome so many obstacles and, despite having less advantageous challenge placements and being victims of the steals, they still end up winning.
