Did Grodd Lead Zoo Attack? Should Candis Replace Caitlyn? Dream Dance Judges? Stingy Ninja? And More TV Qs

I Am Cait Candis

We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including I Am Cait, SYTYCD, Dancing With the Stars, Ninja Warrior and Mindy Project!

1 | Last weekend’s Worst Creative Arts Emmy snub: Jane the Virgin‘s Anthony Mendez not winning for Outstanding Narrator?

2 | How amazing was it that, even in the middle of a riot, Fear the Walking Dead’s Travis A) found his truck still in one piece and B) was able to just drive away, as if the streets weren’t packed with looters?

3 | All in favor of E! scrapping I Am Cait and turning it into I Am Candis — focusing on fabulous transgender actress Candis Cayne — say “I!”

4 | Masters of Sex‘s Bill/Nora hook-up: hot, or creepy? And does anyone want to take credit for speculating that Nora was in cahoots with the holy rollers?

5 | What was that one House of DVF hopeful thinking, bringing a photo of her husband to a job interview?

6 | Isn’t it high time So You Think You Can Dance added a weekly segment spotlighting the great (though often under-the-radar) careers of its alumni? And (provided its renewed), who’d be your ideal Season 13 judges’ panel? (We’d go with Misty Copeland, Mary Murphy andSYTYCD-Dewan Stephen ‘Twitch’ Boss — and ditch the “Stage vs. Street” nonsense!) Also, did seeing Jenna Dewan-Tatum perform this week make you wish someone would cast her in a dance-themed TV series a la Bunheads or Starz’ upcoming Flesh and Bone?

7 | Who was a better Today guest host: The Mindy Project‘s Mindy Kaling or this past June’s Unbreakable Ellie Kemper?

8 | After that Dancing With the Stars‘ season premiere, are you growing concerned that Gary Busey will be voted through simply for his entertaining soundbites?

9 | Where are the Emmys for American Ninja Warrior commentators Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila? (We’re dead serious!) And how much you wanna bet they change the rules for Season 8, to award any Geoff Britten-like runner-up at least a little cash?

10 | We know those Beneful “talking dog” ads are all about selling kibble, but isn’t there a way to communicate that idea without having the “pooches” record their voiceovers with full mouths?

11 | At the end of Zoo, was that Grodd helping lead the charge?

12 | After stealing scenes on HIMYM, serving as a stellar awards-show host and wowing Broadway as Hedwig, have we just found out what Neil Patrick Harris can’t do, on Best Time Ever?

13 | Do you think The Mindy Project will address how Ike Barinholtz’s Morgan is suddenly significantly slender than he was last season?

14 | Were we supposed to find ourselves rooting — just a little bit — for The Bastard Executioner‘s terrible, villainous Corbett, or was it merely Stephen Moyer’s charismatic performance that prompted such a reaction?

15 | At this week’s Republican debate, why were Dana Bash and Hugh Hewitt even there if Jake Tapper was going to ask 90 percent of the questions? And wouldn’t the proceedings have benefited from a buzzer announcing a candidate’s response time was up? Also: Has that debate ended yet?

16 | Were you surprised that the Impastor finale didn’t clue one person in on Buddy’s secret? And how funny is the selfie Russell keeps handy on his phone?

17 | Wouldn’t America’s Next Top Model 20Qs-Milanoacting challenge winner Lacey have made a great Hart of Dixie guest star? [Sigh]

18 | Should Alyssa Milano be glad the caption wasn’t “She’s a Mistress No More”?

19 | In the end, do you suspect Jenna Coleman’s desire to tout her new ITV/Queen Victoria gig outweighed the BBC’s obvious desire to keep her Doctor Who departure on the down low?

20 | If we never again hear Littlefinger 20Qs-Ratmanwelcome us to “the Scorch” in Maze Runner 2 commercials, will it be too soon?

21 | Place your bets now: Will Empire‘s Season 2 premiere come back even bigger than the Season 1 finale, or will the audience dip?
