Ted Lasso Season 3 Episode 10 International Break Reaction of Syntell and Snootyvegans

[@underwriter53]

Nick Mohammed really played the violin and his wife accompanied him on the piano!

[@JosefVlogable]

Roy’s sister was the Doctor at the hospital in Season 2 Episode 8 when Doctor Sharon got hit by the car.

[@Syntell]

Oh wow, good catch. I definitely miss that one.

[@curtisbme]

@@Syntell Don't think we knew who that was then. Only in rewatch are people picking it up.

[@franciscochavez3986]

Jaime giving Roy his Jersey and changing the E in Kent to U. Was hilarious! Phoebe getting a pound because she thought it!?!? Love Love Love

[@hanshotfirst4214]

God that scene with nate and his dad just hit deep. Got me crying.

Super intense Dani Rojas when he's representing Mexico was hilarious! I loved it!

FYI We have seen Roy’s sister before, but it wasn’t confirmed that’s who she was. She was the ER doctor that took care of Dr. Sharon after the bike accident. I believe it was S2E8 (Man City).

[@silviossocks]

The best thing about this episode, amongst a lot of amazing things, was that Nick Mohammed actually played the violin for that scene, and his wife played the backing piano. So moving!!!

[@undbiter65]

Dani embodying our narional teams spirit was hilarious to watch.

[@Syntell]

The countries on the line, we can be friends later. 😂

[@panamafloyd1469]

@underbiter65, Soccer (football) fan here in the US immediately got it. Y'all have come so close, so often. I've got a Mexican buddy that I worked with before I retired. OTOH, dude called me up when it was announced the '26 Cup would be in our hemisphere. We're both in Atlanta now, he said "..dude, I have a connection. We can get tickets!" 🤣

[@KaiGarGar09]

Dani says in Spanish to Van Damme: "son of your bald mother... you already screwed" 😂😂😂 the last part is not literally, but it's essentially what it means 😂😂

[@jossminion]

I definitely felt the air of “the end” with this episode. With the glaring exception of Ted, most of our main cast finally slayed their respective dragons in this episode. Roy’s tendency to self-sabotage, Nate’s desperate need for approval from a father figure, Rebecca and the power Rupert had over her…that’s all been conquered. I think they’re clearing the way to focus on completing Ted’s arc in the final few episodes. Amazing. I’m going to miss this show a lot. Regarding Rupert’s mini-redemption, I think we’re supposed to take from this that his self-image has been rattled by Nate’s rejection of him and his ways. When the person he was grooming to be his star walks away from him in disgust, that’s a sobering mirror that his ego just can’t cope with. He’s let go of the assistant that he was having an affair with, and hired someone who won’t tempt him, so he can tell himself the lie that he’s a good man. I also think this is why he’s reaching out to Rebecca. She sees him for the monster he is, so if he can kill her with kindness, then he can feel good about himself again. But of course, ultimately, it is all selfish. He’s still trying to cheat on his wife. He’s still trying to own Rebecca. And it’s all for the purpose of making himself feel “good.”

[@marybethloup9853]

That is very insightful!

[@janaris97]

I actually teared up when Rebecca made herself bigger in front of the mirror. I have been dealing with anxiety for a long time. N ever since she gave that advice to Nate, I have been following it too. It has become my ritual and to see her do this feels so personally emotional. I’m so grateful for it

[@mickdarcy3063]

Rebecca's mirror seen oddly reminded me of a positive version of the Homelander's mirror scene in The Boys.

[@Syntell]

Now that’s an interesting observation. Duly noted.

[@JRainshadow]

Oh wow. I had the exact 'oddly positive version' reaction, only thinking of the Kingpin's mirror scene in Daredevil. Now I've gotta check out The Boys :)

[@laurakali6522]

I loved the scene at the end when the guys just grunted at each other after Roy walked in with the new shirt on.

[@Syntell]

What is understood doesn’t need to be said.

[@laurakali6522]

[@fayesouthall6604]

That was great

[@wandi_bunny]

I am not ready for this show to end but I'm definitely looking forward to how the Rebecca and the Psychic story unfolds. It's one of my greatest mysteries this season. Thank you for another great reaction guys XOXO!❤

[@archeorogue8773]

I think Rupert is definitely irredeemable and has fucked-up morals, but I'm glad he is being humanized and that his actions this episode will probably help make Rebecca's memories from their marriage less poisoned by his betrayal. He doesn't deserve forgiveness but Rebecca deserves to not feel horrible about decades of her life, if that makes sense

[@bereasonable8018]

I think it helped that she saw Rupert cheating with his previous assistant and then Boat Guy shifting the perspective that it didn’t happen to her but rather that it happened for her. She’s realized that her life is better without him

[@joana6644]

I loved Dani in this episode! Oh, everyone knows when its about representing your country in football... Dont mess with anyone🤣

[@jmurphy605]

I just realized Roy’s sister is the Doctor that treated Dr. Sharon after she got hit by a car in season 2!

[@stevenrod100]

We actually saw Phoebes mom once before but didn't know it yet. She was the doctor that took care of Dr Sharon after her bike accident last season.

Scuttle butt was a term that I learned when I first went into the Navy, it has 2 related meanings, 1. A drinking fountain 2. The rumor mill, that gets started around the drinking fountain.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to check us out. It really means a lot.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Dani Rojas becoming Rani Dojas was a master stroke 😊 Sam had the perfect right to throw them out of his restaurant.

[@1234thisistemporary]

Rupert definitely brought Rebecca to the meeting cuz he knew she would shut it down and he wouldn’t have to be the bad guy

[@FiresCollide]

As much as I love the evolution of the relationship between Roy and Jamie, I wish we'd gotten to see more of Sam and Jamie. Also, I love this episode for Rebecca and Rupert, because it showed they really did share a deep love once upon a time.

[@Syntell]

Rupert and Rebecca's prior history was something I didn't realize I wanted to know. I'm happy they added it to the episode.

[@FiresCollide]

@@Syntell Right? All the other characters are so well-rounded and complex that I'm glad they gave a little bit of depth to Rupert. Otherwise he's just a cartoon villain.

[@noladr]

Lol, y'all totally missed why Jamie owed Phoebe a pound for making her 'think it' since y'all were laughing when Jamie told Roy that he had the people who made his kit (jersey) change the 'E' to a 'U' in 'KENT' on the back.

[@wilsonmark339]

Priceless😂😂😂😂

[@matthewlaird5235]

The scene between Danny and Van Dam in the locker room is a nod to the locker room scene between Maverick and Ice Man. Danny is actually wearing a leather flight jacket and Ice Man’s aviators on the plane.

[@philosophynerdlady]

Another great video! I'm sad we're almost at the end, but so glad I found y'all!!!! ❤

[@FlatSatire]

my possible theory for later is Ted coming out of his flat in the morning and walking by the usual street musicians, only to see Nate there with his violin!

[@dtgstl3148]

It's not the first time you see Roy's sister - she was the ER doctor who treated Dr. Fieldstone in season 2 after she got hit by a car while riding her bike, we just didn't know at the time that she was Roy's sister - she was Dr. O'Sullivan (perhaps her married name?) in that episode.

[@ClarkJ2265]

I love watching you and am smiling the entire time. Did you recognize Roy’s sister was the ER doctor when Dr Sharon was in hospital? Roy had mentioned that was her job in an early episode and I wondered if that was her when it first aired. Love all the returning characters.

[@Delboy0]

While I love Sam Richardson who plays Akufo and the character is very funny, I just have trouble believing a Ghanaian being so brash, bad tempered and arrogant, when Ghanaians are the most laid back, nicest and humble Africans you will find. The character of Sam in Ted Lasso was meant to be Ghanaian originally because the character was named after Sam Richardson who is Ghanaian and friends with Jason Sudekis. They cast Nigerian British actor to play him and the actor ask them to change the character to be Nigerian because he felt it was easier for him. So as an African it doesn’t seem realistic that the Nigerian is the quite humble person and the Ghanaian is the brash arrogant person, if you know the African cultures.

[@reymondcastro8354]

I don’t think Edwin behave the way he does is because he’s Ghanian, but because he is just a brat. And i dont know if it is by design or by accident, but wouldn’t it be nice to show that sometimes nationality or race has nothing to do with being kind.

[@Syntell]

I never knew the backstory, thank you for that.

[@hcroussette]

Akufo is not just any regular Ghanaian though. He is a spoiled billionaire.

[@fayesouthall6604]

@@reymondcastro8354that’s exactly what I thought. He’s a rich brat.

[@roaaoife8186]

Ted Lasso is pretty consistent on this- being a billionaire makes you a jerk, regardless of race, gender, or sexuality. Rebecca only escaped it through frequent and repeated exposure to Ted, and that she didn't originally come from wealth.

​@Syntell he's been in a bunch of short films, but what is really awesome is that before he started acting, he was a professional footballer in Mexico's Premier League, before a knee injury took him out. That's how he got into acting, and then made the choice to move to the UK, where he auditioned for Ted Lasso.

[@jamiefinch148]

Love your reactions. A bit off topic - how did you remove the Violin during Rebecca's speech?

[@julieharden2433]

I love Sam Richardson. I think this might be the 1st show where he plays a mean character. He is hilarious in VEEP. I loved this episode. I still don't want Nate to be happy. Will isn't the one he was awful to. He said some really, really mean things to Collin.

[@Syntell]

I’m happy that he started with Colin first. Work his way up.

[@thevoid99]

will is the first person he apologized to and then he'll go to will. members of the team, the staff, and ted. plus, richmond will play manchester city next week and i think nate will help them beat man city.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Colin and Ted need a huge apology

[@stanleysmith2221]

It definitely had that Finale feeling

[@mickdarcy3063]

It helps me to try to stay aware of the passage of time in this show, a lot of it is streaming past. 10 games in a row? Is that 1or 2 matches a week? So weeks have passed, definitely over a month between episodes. Stuff happens in between we are not privy to immediately. Did Nate confront Rupert? Rupert went from Miss Cake to Miss Bread (there's a metaphor there) -did Nate rat out Rupert to Becs or threaten to? I loved Nate sneaking in and setting up the kit to apologize to Will- I think that was in direct response to Nate's Dad saying he thought he had to push him-Nate realized that's what he did to Will, including his internal reasoning (excuse) for having abused Will. The way Rupert was played this episode had some wonderful shades of regret, I felt that he had loved Rebecca once and he is realizing what he has lost, including his youth. Still a douche, a narcissist but shown to be not the psychopath that Akufu seems to be. Weird detail, but when Rebecca sees the rich men as little boys, Akufu's assistant, Francis, is still an adult. I just wonder why that choice was made by the writers. A lot of time and space was given to breathe and i personally dug it. Thank you, Miss Beautiful and Mister Handsome!

[@Syntell]

Thank you for the great comment, and the wonderful observations. Now I’m even more curious about the creative choice of keeping some me children and yet others still adults. Maybe it has something to do with the men at the table being actual threats to her.

[@archandironic686]

My only thing with Dani is that those two aren't the ones that will have to clean up those Doritos on that plane 😬

[@Syntell]

International, Dani cares only about his country 😂🤣

[@gloriaeverson8577]

Rebecca, who only became a team owner for the purpose of destroying a football team, just save football.

[@Bobainthome]

this show makes me cry

[@sharonfieldstone]

Regarding Rupert, when Rebecca rejected him at the end, the look on his face - it seemed to be him finally recognizing what he sabotaged and lost. I think as terrible as he is/was, there was a sincere reason beyond her looks that he married her. He, in his narcissistic way, loved her once. And he'll never get it back. I think it was a subtle show of defeat and he'll continue to lose more in the last couple episodes. Maybe he'll make some changes to be a little less evil, but I'm not really anticipating that.

[@hiramrosajr8231]

[@rygarzayt]

So my take on the mountain phrase - it’s when you peak in life that’s the mountain. Lightning tends to strike higher altitudes which in my mind means opportunity. Kind of a variation of “the future belongs to those who prepare”

The fortune teller predictions ,have come to pass except one . The green matchbooks and her being underwater came true , the only one that has not materialized is the mothering one .

[@musicdaydreams2506]

I agree, I thought it felt like a finale episode, too, when I was watching it.

[@curtisbme]

@41:31 - By now you know this was a very wrong guess.. ;-) I'm assuming Nate saw at least part of whatever Rupert did to the assistant (guessing at a minimum, repeat sexual harassment followed by firing her for not giving in, on the high side, sexual assault) and that is why he quit.

[@jennypaxton7738]

I think Rupert was just feeling lots of rejection, what small time coach quits a position like that and in 2nd place? The new assistant? Now Rebecca?

[@noviranger88]

26:11 THOSE ARE NOT CHICAGO HOT DOGS! They have to be 100% beef.

[@michaelpeters364]

I thought it was telling and important that Rupert, before he would commit of Afukuos plan, asked what Rebecca thought... Rupert is still evil and always will be... but he does value Rebecca's opinion... and maybe he even wanted her there because also didn't like Afuko's plan and thought Rebecca wouldn't either?

The very premise of this show about an American Football coach coaching an English Soccer team is unrealistic. But a group billionaires unanimously choosing to not make more money for the benefit of the common man is probably the most unrealistic thing this show has ever done.

[@darrenwright3026]

I don’t think I haven’t not cried at an episode this season

[@jessh8972]

I also find it curious that we are in fact seeing less and less of Ted himself as the season continues. Are they preparing us for him leaving Richmond? Showing that (most) characters have grown and gotten to a comfortable in their lives off the pitch & locker room, and that they don't need him physically as present because they have to some extent all internalised the Lasso way? Personally, I think each episode we've had is a chapter of Trent's book and it ends in a narration. Doesn't make the most sense but this is what my brain has decided is happening.

[@TheDeadWax]

I think Rupert did invite Rebecca for selfish reasons, but i think it was driven by his understanding of her greater decision making skills. I think he has at least a begrudging respect for Rebecca.

[@alixc1855]

I think we are going to learn what really happened with the Nate leaving/Miss Cakes disappearance and Rupert trying to reconnect with Rebecca somehow next week, and it won't be good. Bex may have launched divorce proceedings. No redemption for Rupert, and his team will start losing. That buffoon George Cartrick seemed to be sucking up to Rupert on air after praising Nate all season in the hopes of being rehired by him IMO. The two are made for each other.

I hope before the season ends Van Damm will drop that stupid moniker, and make the name Zoreux synonymous with being the most bad-ass goalie in the league. It's a way cooler name.
