Status Updates From Christmas Candy Corpse (Cou...

Courtney never even considered pregnancy.

I noticed. None of the characters did. Which is strange. It’s usually the first thing people (men mostly) guess when a woman is out of sorts.

Courtney, how did you figure out Kinzy and I were a couple? We were very careful to keep our relationship concealed.

I guess you are not counting that very public emotional breakdown after her body was found.
Or the photos from the party where you are constantly holding hands.

Shannon had what appeared to be a hot flash, which she was way too young for, so it had to be something else.

Nope. It is possible for a woman to enter peri-menopause before the age of thirty.

Saw that twist coming since page 62

Why wonder how Leon could have gotten on set the first day? He was on set, he argued with Kinzy just outside the make-up room. Wonder instead if anyone saw him leave.

Leon wants to file a defamation of character suit against Courtney after she questioned his integrity. Moments after he claimed shannon murdered Kinzy. He didn’ even use the word allegedly.

threatened bodily harm this morning by making fists

Oh, you’ve got to do better than ‘she clenched her fist in the hallway when confronted with an intruder/tresspasser’.

Why is not the second question people ask of lawyer Leon: you’re from Montana, are you allowed to practice law in this state?

Victoria complains: I handle one problem and there’s another.

I think that is the job description of anyone that has the word ‘assistent’ in their job title.

Aghast that Shannon thought no one else had problems

Yeah, Shannon is so selfish, you don’t even ask her to share her story.

Het, Marley, if you don’t like the conditions of the competition, you can leave.

I think I can squeeze you in.

What ever woman loves to hear right after being asked on a date.

Courtney has not even tried to make an educated guess as to what is going on with Shannon. At this point I’m hoping my guess is wrong, ‘cause the author is really signposting it (and Courtney not picking up on that bothers me.)

These male contestants don’t seem to understand the concept of a competation. A judge is supposed to give the highest praise to the product they like best. That does not make them unfair. It justmeans the otherfudge was better than yours.

The bakers get a surprise ingredient to incorporate in their baking.

Someone forgot that baking is about precision and exact measurements.

The contestants were not prepared for having to think up a recipe on the spot.

this is what mothers do to help their child succeed.

Fuck that. Taking over the job of his assistent and being stellar at it goes a little beyond sewing your kind a costume for the school pageant.

I’ve now had more of an introduction on both previous murder investigations Courtney was involved in, than of any of her coworkers.

Police brutality. You do not touch a person unless making an arrest. And when making an arrest, you clearly state you are doing so.

There going to redo the challange of day one? That means all other challanges get pushed back a day aswell. Is everyone on board with a day extra of filming?

What can you tell me about the murder weapon?

That it is too soon after finding the body to make any definitive statements about the murder weapon.
Please, do a post-mortem first.

Brenden is such a wet blanket. Rather than make excuses for his employee to his mother, he should put his mother back in her place and tell her not to talk to his employees in the way that she does.

Can’t believe the mother would have ever thought her son fit enough to take over her company. She doesn’t even trust him talking to a strong-willed employee.

it isn’t fair to the other contestants that you’re favoring Mya’s fudge.

Uh, the other contestants are aware they entered a competition that can only have one winner? Surely they realize that the one making the judges’ favorite product is going to win.
They’re adults. They should be way past the everyone wins stage.

I refrained from asking her if she was feverish.

Signs galor that your friend may be having health problems and you “refraine” from showing any sort of concern. You are a lousy friend.

feeling bad for Kinzy.Was she in denial or shock about hergrandfather’s death? Even estranged, shouldn’t she have some feeling of loss(…)

I’m feeling bad for Courtney. Projecting her own feelings on someone else, without understanding what she’s doing.
