Whodunit?

[Spinderella]

I'm still leaning on Cris. She said to Sasha when they were examining the zip ties on the doors, "she wouldn't have gone where an explosive was planted" - I mean, they just started investigating. She has no idea for sure that one was "planted" but that there was an explosion at that point. Not to mention how much she can't stand Lindsey or trust her. I think that she gave a winning review of Lindsey's theory reveal and let her be the #1 spared. She wanted her out of the main A-Team group and get the others to suspect her as well.

With this week's kill, it was a little harder to know at first blush what the entire kill was from beginning to end, but I think it became much more clear where to find the final piece from the riddle and clues. I don't know why Don is such a big goof for a former homicide detective, but oh well...that's why you weren't spared from a scared card a second time!

As for how he was killed, I have this theory: SPOILER:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}When he was given the raw T-bone, after deciding to go into the kitchen to cook it himself (which obviously, he was told to do before hand and the entire kill scene was pre-recorded earlier in the morning is my suspicion), he stepped onto a rubber mat that had a trick lever that allowed for the mountain lion to be released from the dumb waiter. Now that seems pretty blah in terms of trying to figure out things...like the scene of the crime will be the main piece, but what about the last known whereabouts? And they're going to examine the lion for clues, too? Interesting!

I'm enjoying the campy feel of the show and since it's a summer show, I'm just glad I have something to watch. Now, if they get down to one player, how is that going to work if someone is the killer? Would it be possible that the killer would be "killed" off and throw them off the scent? Or is it Giles? I started to think it COULD be Don since a lot of the kills were related to fire, arson or the like and then he gets killed to confuse.

[NappingAthena]

Yeah, they haven't really talked about what happens in the end. I'm assuming its a final three-the killer and two players and they have to guess or something? But that wouldn't work if they both guessed the right killer, unless they have to explain things. Which is another problem I have with a 'no plot' thing-there's no reason why for the killings that would help guess who it is.

This show is pretty hilarious even though I don't know if it was meant to be. That lady who was laying stuck in a tree- I thought surely that was a dummy or a stunt person, because how could they expect a contestant to lay wedged in a tree that long? But then she was sitting in the tree when she was giving her exit interview. So, I hope they only had her sit in the tree long enough to do the exit- but not for the whole time during the "autopsy".

I think Don's problem was because he was an ex-cop, he was too used to the real thing. These "crimes" are pretty elaborate and campy. Real crimes tend to be more straight forward.

I was suspecting Gino, but now I'm wondering about Ronnie. He seemed to figure out that attic clue awful quick. Plus he kept repeating "I saw her die, y'all! I saw the whole thing! She looked so scared!" Well, yeah, he saw the video the killer made- but also if he WAS the killer he would have "seen" the whole thing too. Of course it could be Dana(?) The woman who's been "scared" twice in a row but managed to stay alive. She's been on camera saying she's going to kill people for not sharing the info with her. Plus she's so over the top all the time.

But really, I guess it could be anyone. Even Giles maybe. He's the most awesome thing because he's so over the top too.

[Spinderella]

See, GirlyGhoul! This has how I've felt all along. I can appreciate the campy vibe, but man is it hilarious beyond that!

With the actual contestants having to lie still during the autopsies, that's brutal. There must be a lot of editing going on there because I'm sure it's really hard not to have to move, make noise or talk. I did see her moving her foot during the autopsy, but it was no big deal.

As for figuring out the attic clue, I got it after saying the riddle a second time in my head. Not that there would be a TV up there per se, but I had a pretty good idea that's where they were needing to go. Honestly, these riddles are too easy IMO and make me wonder if they're written by a woman (meaning a woman killer) because they say things that seem more in the feminine like "PJs" or other little comments in their riddles, letters, etc.

BTW: They're spelling the show 'Whodunnit' instead of 'Whodunit'. I always wrote it as the latter, but maybe that's wrong?

[GirlyGhoul]

This show is so silly! But kinda great because of that. A guy is attacked by a mountain lion in the middle of a kitchen... but really died from cyanide poisoning shooting out of the stove? Agatha Christie would approve. And from the previews it looks like a guy falls from a horse but maybe actually will turn out to have been bitten by a snake.
But it would all be pretty bad were it not for the extra campy Butler. The contestants snipping and sniping and whining wears thin after a while. I think it would be better if they were all given an equal chance to examine the clues. I understand the logistics of only allowing them one choice of either viewing the body, the crime scene or the last known whereabouts. But when it comes to the riddle, they all run helter skelter and it sometimes boils down to some contestants crowding others out or other contestants pushing their way onto someone else's investigation.

If they all had the same chance at the riddle part it would boil down to who is the most clever and not who is the fastest or biggest. How they would do that, I don't know. But it's my least favorite part of the show when they're all piling on top of one another trying to squeeze into a tiny space to find a clue. And usually only one can see the BIG give away.

If Dana is not the killer, I applaud her for figuring out the cyanide poisioning based only on Don's coloring and not the clue that Gino found. Of course, she could be the killer. Her bit about her father having access to cyanide could be a clue in and of itself.

I'm still leaning towards Ronnie at this point. Ronnie or Gino.... Or Dana... Ok, I have no earthly clue.

Poor Don having to suffer bloody paw prints on his BUTT! How the other contestants didn't burst out laughing when they flipped his "corpse" over and saw that I don't know. That said, he seemed like a good sport- as have all the "victims" so far. I think allowing the contestants to "go out" in such a campy fashion reduces some of the bitterness they might otherwise feel for being given the boot early.

[NappingAthena]

Yeah, it really seems like they care more about fighting each other than figuring out who the killer is. Which may have something to do with how as far as I've seen, we've had no real clues to the killers identity-its been all about how they were killed, and not who did it.

I think the idea with the riddle is that in the end very few people would know the answer, and more people would worry about being next. The contestants went the other way and have larger groups than planned. I think the producers assumed it would be four groups of three to start with instead of what happened.

[Spinderella]

Well, tonight just got interesting.

It gets a little harder to fully figure out how each murder went down since we can't see everything as the contestants can. Although, we do have the ability to remember things a little bit more clearly then obviously these sillies do.

Always go with your gut, peeps!

I'm really surprised by the next episode's kill(s). How morbid and creepy!

I'm not sad to see Sasha go, but I am about Dana.

I still think that Cris is the killer.

Yes, I figured that it would be a double murder since they added the twist with three scared cards, but I thought

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Geno was a goner too because there was a clip of someone getting hit by a chandelier in one of the previews. I think he might win now though because they've set it up to be Team Kam vs. Team Geno, and he got a teary eyed confession last night about winning the money even though his team failed spectacularly. Or I just jinxed him.

I'm not sad to see Sasha go, but I am about Dana.

Yes, Dana annoyed me in the first two episodes, but she really shone in last week's episode, and I wanted her to win after she quoted the Mrs. White from "Clue". While I do think Sasha was very clever most of the time, from the first episode she seemed too much of a mean girl when she said something to one of the other women about not being as smart, and I never was able to warm up to her personality.

I still think that Cris is the killer.

I'm pretty positive that it has to be one of the ladies left because the guys don't really seem that suspect to me. Geno and Kam seem like they'll be the last two contestants left because of the way they framed them having a rivalry from the beginning, and while Ronnie seemed suspicious at times before because it seemed like maybe producers were feeding him clues to get the show moving, he seems to be too much into the gameplay aspect, albeit badly most of the time, to be the killer to me.

Cris was my top pick last week because she just seemed to be there, but she actually did the best this week. So now I think Melina is the killer because she's never received a scared card nor has she been singled out as doing the best. She just seems to be there while really being over the top about worrying about being killed off.

[NappingAthena]

The thing that annoyed me is that after last week with Don not dying via mountain lion, it wasn't so hard for me to assume that the snake thing was a red herring, but none of the contestants seemed to feel the same way.

And didn't Cris tell Sasha the same thing she told Ronnie but before hand? So why were they so upset about Ronnie getting back before the bell-did Sasha not tell them what she was told?

[GirlyGhoul]

I think this show could use some improvement- but the overall formula for awesome is there. I'm enjoying the craziness of the murders every week. Though, if Ulysses had been poisoned with Oleander- would he have had some discoloration to his skin? It was Don's pinkness that clued Dana in last week. She might have zeroed in on a floral poisoning if they had painted him up as such.

Sad to see Dana go... though the way she goes looks HILARIOUS! Not as sad to see Sasha go. She started out promising but just grew more and more whiny as the weeks went on. I don't see how her knowing about the difference between king and coral snake and knowing about oleander- but still getting it all wrong was somehow everyone else's fault. The clues were there- even at the morgue the fact there were signs for both snakes and flowers should have clued the morgue people in. If he's all snake bit up- why have a sign about flowers?

I'm still gonna guess Gino for now. Even though he teared up and swore he would win the money. Both Dana and Sasha went to bed, but he was never shown sleeping. When Donte bought it, Gino was shown on top of his covers. Yeah, this may be lame as far as clueing into the killer. But it's what I got going for now.

I liked how Ronnie tried to hide the oleander petals from Cris, but she still got it... Or else she's the KILLER!!!

Still loving Giles- but they used that Back in the Saddle joke twice.
