John Legend And Chrissy Teigen Mar Hollywood Game Night With Their Annoying-Couple Vibe
Also: SHE CHEATS.
Most Strategic Suckup
Valerie had a dream teammate: Donald Faison. Good call! So even though the teams have been sex-segregated for this couples' night (with Faison and his former Scrubs co-star Sarah Chalke being thrown together as a makeshift couple for the night), Jane Lynch makes an executive decision.
Too bad Valerie and Faison are on a team with a couple of real duds.
Most Annoying Couple
And that might actually be Most Annoying Couple On Earth, not just in the episode: John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen. All I knew about Teigen was stuff like her jokey domestic abuse Christmas message and her Farrah Abraham slut-shaming (not that I'm pro-Farrah, but it's the principle). But the preamble to Timeline shows them at their icky worst.
And the Back To Back intro is not much better.
ugh.
Most Egregiously Misidentified Cartoon Dog
It's not "Santa's Helper," JANE. It's "SANTA'S LITTLE HELPER."
Oh, you're going to double down? And no one's going to correct you? BOO.
Biggest Cheater
Chrissy Goddamn Teigen.
Hey, Chrissy? You think maybe they put that spot on the ground because you're supposed to get to it before you start miming?
Second-Biggest Cheater, And Then A Question Mark
Sarah Chalke, I guess? For her "Gangnam Style" clue?
But are you allowed to mime in this game or aren't you? Because if that is a rule, it seems like Chalke is the only one against whom it's enforced.
Most Hilariously Understated/Excellent Game Play
Take it away, my dear Donald.
"Let's just see," indeed.
Worst Choker
We already got a glimpse at what happens when Chalke gets flustered back in Take The Hint, where her buzz on "Gangnam Style" totally shattered her perfect Zen calm. So why Josh ends up picking for the final round was a mystery to me even before we discover that she has Minnie Driver Disease.
Oh, Sarah. You have brought shame to Canada. We're ALL talking about it.
