Wild rear end guess: If it is Vicki, she is totally method and ends up understanding Michael while trying to inhabit her character and becomes the second demon they manage to change and then even if the overall experiment technically fails, it succeeded because it made a another demon become a better "person"

Love this, it's basically what they are explicitly doing with Brent- making him "act good" with bad motivation, which earns no points but does hopefully become a habit. I would enjoy it if the group fail on improving the test subjects but end up improving the bad guys instead through the antagonist role.

They are really leaning into Dumb Useless Jason more than ever. He thought putting Chidi and Simone together was a good idea! He stands by the bro code even when his world has fallen apart and does NOT leave Eleanor hanging. Show my dude some respect 😠

I miss chidi being part of the group dynamic. :( I know it's part of the endless shaking things up but it feels emptier without him. I hope he gets looped back in soon.

I agree, William Jackson Harper played neurotic very well but he gave Chidi a real depth and warmth that I didn't realise until it wasn't there any more. He was such a good choice for the role.

They all were, tbh. I know Jason Mantzoukas isn't everyone's cup of tea but he brings a real "Mork from Ork" energy that I find hysterical here

I wonder if playing Good Janet for bad reasons will become a habit and eventually Bad Janet will be Neutral Janet. The experiment itself fails miserably but team cockroach win because Glenn and BJ are no longer actually evil.

Reincarnation is the end game. All those resets for Team C and Janet, maybe Genny will decide that we all get a few do overs before being consigned to the dump of the afterlife.

Well, it IS dumbass theory time!

Brent is a charicature of a person but still, maybe team cockroach is going to learn that you can't win them all. He is destined straight for hell because he has no willingness to change.

Props to Chidi for actually throwing that lunch as well. I cheered when it happened, season one Chidi would never!

And yeah, my theory stinks, I get where you are all coming from x

Jason is pretty much governed by his impulses. There is no question that he is "not smart" but a lot of it comes from the fact he is off in his own head and doesn't pay attention. When he does try, he's able to put things together ok. He's still kind of unrestrained Id and a wild card though.

Simone is proof that even good people, with no threat of consequence, become a bit lovely. She was repeatedly told the people around her were actual people and had feelings but she did not give a hint of a poo poo until Chidi put his finger in her food.

Eleanor was KILLING it in that dress

They are all very attractive people. I loved Tahani's ballgown, and Simone was hiding her smokeshow under a bushel until the end.

I dunno, Jason was in many respects a visionary. His vision was small and basic but it was his own. He went first because he was the only one who was authentically happy with himself in the first place (ignorance is bliss, if you must) so he had less to work through. He wasn't very good with actual things and really hazy on the deta but he was pretty good with people (and not a person Janet) and in touch with the emotional stuff a lot.
He hot too.
