Overall I didn’t have any particular problems with the episode, it was as funny or not as most. I have never seen the Bachelor, and never really get what is supposed to be funny about the recurring sketch, but I LOVED it this week, solely because they used it to do what I was so hoping they would find some way to do, which create a an excuse for an Adele jukebox. That’s all I wanted. Sure, I am eager to hear the new album, but no rush if she doesn’t feel it’s ready. But not only is it a thrill to hear and see her sing her classics (effortlessly, take that those who said skinny Adele would not be as good a singer), but it is a thrill to imagine the cast and crew on the stage, who must have been saying to themselves: “Jesus Christ, that’s Adele right there singing her songs!”
I Didn’t need anything else to make that a stand out episode (and also, did not get much else).
