BEST EPISODE YET! FIRST TIME WATCHING TED LASSO S1,E7!!!

This episode was a roller coaster of emotion! We laugh, cry, swoon and appreciate a good wakeup call from an old friend!

[@Thrawnwalker]

You know that Roy has watched Frozen a million times with his niece

[@caitlin329]

Hannah Waddingham didn't want to sing Let It Go (as a professional singer she avoided it for years), but when challenged to find a song which was more appropriate she couldn't. She did consider Reflection from Mulan which I think could've worked. She decided to sing live every time and the shoot was apparently like 8 hours. That's a lot of Frozen.

[@jessaandalexwatch]

Ooh, Reflection would have been good, too!

[@renlessard]

Next episode is my favourite. Love the Diamond Dogs

[@chefskiss6179]

- Absolutely no apologies needed, I'm still finding it surreal seeing the two of you in the same shot. - Yup, one of my fave episodes ever as well. - 14:30 You. Rock. - definitely forgetting one more... :/ OH RIGHT... glad you kept 'it in', one of the quality reasons why I keep coming back to view stuff with the both of ya ;)

[@wilsonmark339]

Take a look at your faces when rebecca was singing ( laughter) and seconds later when ted was having an attack ( sheer concern) the power of the script captured!!

[@mayavmarinho]

Just a couple of fun facts guys: - Hannah and Jason improvised that scene of Ted being helped outside the club; -Rebecca was always supposed to “save” Ted, but her singing was a change made after they casting Hannah; - On the original script of this episode it was supposed to be Rebecca at Ted door, but Bill Lawrence said they thought Ted/Rebecca relationship was too important for a nightstand; - Hannah didn’t want to sing Let it Go, but Jason said it was the perfect song for the characters in that episode, and they dressed Rebecca to be Elza inspired.

[@mayavmarinho]

also something that i find very interesting in the panic attack scene is that Ted hears 3 voices, Henry, Michele and Rebecca. And what it’s even more interesting is that when he is coming back to himself, Michele’s voice merges with Rebecca’s sorry for my english guys! 😄

[@eolsunder]

Brett singing along with Hannah singing is just Brett, he is, as Hannah says "he's a theatre queen". Brett has been a writer and a big theatre fan for his whole life and that is just Brett, singing along with the song. Hannah said when she first met Brett on set he was such a fanboy of hers he just was in her face quoting all the plays and shows he's seen her in. I've seen you in this, i've seen you in that.. etc.

[@SchulzEricT]

2 things: 1 - I just LOVE that Ted just signs the divorce papers. Any other (lesser) show would belabor that forever, spend several eps on him being shitty to his wife but trying to make us sympathetic towards him, and maybe they'd get back together (because he guilted her into it, but the show would frame it like a triumphant, happy thing). In this show, they're just like... nah. They're divorced now. 2 - I believe my favorite Lasso moment - at least from season 1 - is next episode, so... excited for that.

[@TheTororist]

should have sent it to his lawyer first. thats the prudent thing to do

[@TerryYelmene]

a truly fantastic reaction ladies. Alex smiling at all the best friendship moments and Jessa tearing up as she was re-experiencing it all... was the best. imho, this series is as good as TV gets and this episode stands above the rest in this season. thank you! this was made even better by you two reacting to it together!

[@mvaliente2001]

The scene of Roy mesmerised with Rebecca performing "Let it Go" wasn't scripted. It was really Brett Goldstein reacting sincerely to Hannah Waddingham singing.

[@deanmaynard8256]

Jessa and Alex watch Ted Lasso days are my favourite days....

[@eviive8496]

I'm so happy that you pointed out that Roy Kent is singing along to Let It Go!

[@allisonotto]

I've watched this show with a lot of people and I think Alex is the first person to go "oh nooooo" when Sassy meets Ted 😂

[@timgraham410]

OMG she WAS in Pitch Perfect. That just blew my mind

[@sethheasley9538]

The new friend and old friend fighting thing just couldn't happen because Keely is just the absolute best.

[@bereasonable8018]

Wait. Sassy did meet Ted before knowing of his connection to Rebecca. She was headed to have a cigarette and saw him at the concierge desk asking for a fax machine. She said she was attracted to him on sight. He didn’t expect her to show up at his door and was emotionally depressed. He was just divorced and needed emotional support. I’m happy they got together that night.

[@caitlin329]

She did, but I think it was more that because she's friends with Rebecca and that can be a bit awkward for some people (although it doesn't have to be).

[@Sandy-gg7to]

Alex, I couldn't stop looking at your earrings! Even noticed when you switched ears for the moon and sun...so pretty!! Loving this series, ladies. Waking up to something so joyful sets a great momentum for the day

[@Toast960]

Loving these reacts! So looking forward to the next episode. My favorite moment of the series so far is there. To me, the barometer of how good a show is depends on how excited you get when you know someone else started watching and you have to make an extra effort not to say anything because you don't want to accidentally spoil things. Ted Lasso is definitely one of those shows. :)

[@crigarsha]

FYI...since i know you both watched Bridgerton so there won't be any spoiling for you, and at this point in 2023, if someone hasn't watched Bridgerton, then sorry, shit is going to get spoiled! The song playing when Ted is signing the divorce paperwork and Keely & Roy have their moment, is "Strange" by Celeste, which was in Bridgerton as an instrumental version, it starts playing during Daphne & Simon's, "I Burn for You" speech on their honeymoon. I had only heard the instrumental version until watching Ted Lasso, but i thought it sounded super familiar and then once i paid attention to the words...UGH! "Isn't it strange how people can change, from strangers to friends, friends into lovers, and strangers again." Good Lord...talking about bringing every memory of every break-up i've ever had together all at once. OOF! Anyways...love your reactions, you two are awesome! Keep it up! Cheers!

[@Wizardofgosz]

Sassy Smurf marrry me!!

[@jacquesvz]

I just love watching you ladies break shows down .. it's very entertaining. Love it

[@sethheasley9538]

Sounds like your mic wasn't actually plugged in. Happens to the best of us.

[@jksgameshelf3378]

Wait ... no ... you have to sit on the same side in the order of the channel's name! It's so confusing with you on the opposite sides! Just kidding ... kind of ... but another great reaction. I only now realized watching this reaction that of course Roy knows the words to 'Let It Go' because he's probably seen it a thousand times with his niece. Man, the closer we get to the end of the season the harder it is to wait a week between reactions! Also, have you reacted to 'Fleabag' (or watched it)?? Man, I think you would love it cuz it's genius and each season is only about 2-1/2 hours long with 8 25-ish minute episodes per season. ALSO, 'Russian Doll' season 2 starts next month on Netflix and if you've never seen that, it's SO good. AND 'Barry' with Bill Hader (which takes place in LA) is amazing and season 3 is also starting in April so it would be a great time to react to that one. And, wait, do you both live in LA now (not that I knew where anyone lived/lives anyway)? I'm moving back there in May so I'm sure we'll just run into each other ALL the time cuz it's such a small town (that sounds kinda creepy/stalker-ey but totally not what I meant)! Okay, bye-ee!

[@jessaandalexwatch]

We are both fleabag obsessed!

[@jksgameshelf3378]

@@jessaandalexwatch - That makes sense as you're both intelligent and artistic women. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a freakin' genius. I thought s1 was a perfect stand-alone work (and the one woman show that she did that started it all was fantastic, too), but then s2 was so amazing. That first episode of s1 is one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen. So excited to hear Phoebe has the green light for a new show with Amazon, although it's still a mystery as to what it's about and who is in it (hell, they might not even have cast it yet). I also still need to finish 'Killing Eve' but none of the seasons have lived up to s1 when PWB was fully involved in writing it.

[@UhOhHereWeGo]

YES! We need more people watching this

[@kevt1932]

Nate's speech is awesome in this episode, but of course he had to give it before they went & beat Everton. That's the most Everton thing ever! I'm a big Everton fan if you can't tell. 😂

[@InnerFury]

I loved the episode and loved the discussion even more, a lot going on in the episode, always love to hear your thoughts and views on what's going on with the characters, my fiance currently has covid, so far I'm negative, staying in the bedroom, bought a couple of older thriller movies, I've seen them Fiona hasn't, once she is better we'll watch them, curious to get her views on them, No Way Out and Insomnia, ps First Minister announced Scotland still on course to have independence referendum next year! :) be safe ladies :)

[@jessaandalexwatch]

Sending healthy thoughts your way!

[@InnerFury]

@@jessaandalexwatch Thanks my friend, it's her first time having covid, I haven't had it yet, we both are fully vaccinated, fingers crossed she feels better soon, I have an admission to make, I've never seen a Harry Potter movie, only small parts on television, I'll need to watch them all some time, i have the first two fantastic beasts movies and I enjoyed them :)

[@myoung7654]

No Way Out is a tremendous movie with a truly sensational ending. Would make for a great reaction.

[@InnerFury]

@@myoung7654 Yeah, my partner hasn't seen it so I can't wait to see her reaction and get her thoughts on it! :)

[@bereasonable8018]

This was my favorite episode too up til that point

[@justarandomveryintelligent8934]

Dunno if you guys heard about this but i know there was a suggestion not too long ago for you guys to do the netflix marvel shows. Those shows are all on disney plus now!

[@liljackypaper]

I have a crush on Alex. She is so adorable!

[@danieltate6092]

I have a few great movie suggestions for you if you haven't seen these they're great films. 1. The Changeling (Horror, 1980) with George C. Scott. 2. Deathtrap (Mystery/suspense thriller 1982) with Christopher Reeve, and Michael Caine. 3. Parenthood (comedy 1989) with Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, Mary Steenburgen, Keanu Reeves, Martha Plimpton, Dianne Wiest, and Joaquin Phoenix. 4. Soapdish (comedy 1991) with Sally Field, Robert Downey Jr, Kevin Kline, Carrie Fisher, Whoopi Goldberg, Elizabeth Shue, Cathy Moriarty, and Teri Hatcher. 5. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (comedy 1988) with Steve Martin, Michael Caine, and Glenne Headly. These are all great films, and I promise you'll love them all if you give them a watch. And what's great is most are all star casts, and they are all very well written, and not many KZbin channels have done reactions to them. In fact I don't think I've found any reaction video that covers Deathtrap.

[@SecondLineNews]

[@gi8228]

I absolutely agree that Rebecca needs to own up to the shit she's doing to the team right now, but I did not appreciate Sassy victim blaming Rebecca for disappearing when she, as a psychologist, should know that isolating the victim from their support systems is one of the most common things abusers do to keep control.

[@caitlin329]

Yeah, I think it wasn't intentional but it definitely comes across that way. Very unfortunate.

[@kyleyoung3446]

When I first saw & repeatedly rewatched this episode, I had never caught the Roy moment in the karaoke bar until the edit in this reaction. Thank you for pointing it out. Now I have even more appreciation for Roy.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Obviously he watched frozen a lot with Phoebe

[@ESJonas]

Ted lasso plays with expectations and if you find every spot where tv would throw a cliche, you can anticipate there will be a twist. At first I didn't want to watch it cause I am a Brazilian who doesn't get why people love football so much. (More than half of Brazilians don't care for the sport btw). That was the first surprise. It's not about football. It's almost an anti-cliche show. Cliche list: Friend jealousy to generate conflict... Nope Making a big deal out of something small dragged during a whole episode or episodes... Nope Dragging the beginning of a relationship for keeping the audience's sake... Nope Taking people ages to realize they were wrong... Why??? Of course not. Focus on race, because a big part of TV thinks everything is about race... Nah Making all men sexists and idiots and all women smart to spark gender disputes... No!! Making people fall into a group stereotype... Come on... It's possible to make great TV without so much forced drama and with people making right decisions and learning with it and people falling into holes but with motives, not just as a plot generation device. This show caught me by surprise.

[@bereasonable8018]

Summed up perfectly. This became my favorite show, not just of the year, but ever.

[@amycope7970]

Of course you were suspicious of sassy. Because tv shows so very rarely show actual, strong, supportive, realistic female friendships. It’s always some high school, immature, catty, competitive version of female friendship as imagined by a male writer.

[@GF_Baltar]

You two have lives?? But Ted Lasso *is* life!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

Sassy smurf - best nickname ever! ♥

[@GodBear97]

It's not the fact that Roy knows the lyrics to let it go, he's got a young niece whom he clearly spends a lot of time with, so that makes perfect sense, it's the fact that he can't help but mouth the words

[@anonymes2884]

Agreed. In many ways this is quite a traditional type of show but one of the things that makes it a breath of fresh air IMO is, it constantly zigs when the trope says zag. Great reaction too BTW (Jessa's delight when Alex catches Roy mouthing the 'Frozen' lyrics was one highlight for me :).

[@pebblesanddirt]

Wish I could like this video twice. I get to enjoy the highlights of Ted Lasso season one as well as watch Alex’s immediate reaction. And you two look wonderful in the higher definition camera.

[@HeyRowanEllis]

look at the gang together in the same room!!!!

[@cathunsworth7915]

You’re in the same room! Yay!

[@thisisrenren3657]

I feel like Keeley had to ask why Rebecca is so mean to Higgins, and Rebecca was just like "he helped Rupert sneak around on me" and that's why Keeley is nice to Higgins, but doesn't stand up for him with Rebecca.

[@commanderkorra3316]

Love Sam, but will always ship Ted and Rebecca.

[@Awhmanitsdanttv]

Great lighting stop it

[@fayesouthall6604]

Your faces when Keeley and Roy kissed first both of you smiling and blushing! The laugh and surprise when Roy says ‘Goodnight’ 😂

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

This is probably my favourite as well and I had the same thought when Sassy came around. I should have learnt to trust the show by now. They never take the cliche path. I was so hesitant to even start watching it because it looked like a typical fish out of water comedy and they'd go for the easy joke but they never do. Despite how over the top some of them can be, especially Ted, the show feels far more realistic than most other...sitcom I guess you'd call it. I didn't think I'd like Roy or Keeley at the start and Rebecca seemed to be the typical antagonist but none of them are caricatures even though they easily could have fallen into that trap. They change and grow throughout the series. It's kind of amazing this show is as good as it is.

[@VictoriaBrewer91]

I'm sorry, but no. Sassy "calling out" Rebecca is not a good thing that should be praised. Rebecca was in a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship for 12 years. He literally said used to tell her what to eat and wear which Hannah Waddingham added in because she herself was in a verbally abusive relationship and wanted to shed more light on the subject. So the fact that Rebecca's best friend, who is supposedly an amazing child pyshcologist, stood there and victim blamed her does not sit right with me at all. Also, the fact that she nicknamed her "Stinky" simply because Rebecca was more beautiful than her is gross and reeks of jealousy. I can't believe how many people give this all a pass. I've enjoyed the reactions you girls have had to these epsiodes and your discussions as well, but I'm very hestitant to continuing watching and supporting you after the way you condone Sassy's speech.
