This week more lifeguarding. What's this show coming to?

Only one main plot. A promoter who is just as selfish and self absorbed as Cort tempts sharks into the bay to promote his restaurant. Jill is injured by one during a rescue. Someone is out for Blood. Mitch that is. Not the shark.

Not perfect. But not bad. Having only one plot helps. Especially one not focused on Cort or Eddie. Slight feel again of folks doing what the plot requires. But it's not terrible.

And Jill gets more backstory. And more scenes. And then gets killed off offscreen. The ending is emotional. Because you feel the loss of a wasted character.

The assembly of footage in the action scenes is rough. Slo mo running appears. And you will be laughing for the wrong reason as a result at action scenes that should be dramatic.

Even so, Cort is so much better when he's not the focus of a storyline. Eddie and Shauni don't get enough to do to annoy. And the Hoff as ever really does try when he has to emote. Bless him.

Gina the only one missing this week. Ms. Keller pops up again. But will be forgotten after. As seems to be the fate of that dog from last week.

Not perfect but better than some.

Worst shark attack scene ever! Jill disappears, then suddenly in hospital, has lost lots of blood no bite or external injury. Could foresee she was going to die in the hospital after waking up. Wouldn't be trusting Eddie with no shark cage. Sharks and footage weak.

There are sharks. There is screaming. Don't bother. Just skip straight to season three.
