Monday's are going to be my longest workdays (by far) this semester. So yesterday, all I got through was DOOL and a Lifetime flick I had missed:
DOOL - I'm caught up on this one... FauxRafe stops the wedding and says he can't marry Jada. When Jada (and others) demand an explanation, FauxRafe claims that EJ actually hired him to investigate Jada (as if that story makes a lick of sense!) and that "Rafe's" contact in the police department found that Jada was cutting legal/ethical corners and was "dirty". Ridiculously, Mayor Paulina buys into this, esp. after Shawn shows up with the "evidence", and they haul Jada off for questioning. After getting chewed out by NuGabi and Javi, FauxRafe flees the scene! Stephanie is irate about what happened, but Patch (smartly!) is the only one who smells a rat: EJ!... Meanwhile, Belle (dummy!!) and EJ "do it" again!!
The Sunday before last, I just plum missed a Lifetime flick - didn't record it; forgot it was even on! So that meant:
Match, Meet, Murder (OnDemand) - This flick I had to pull off OnDemand (which meant it had the usual commercial load, and 2-hour runtime) because I forgot to record it.
    This flick was just OK, if that.
    Lingerie(! 'cos, of course!) fashion designer (Stephanie Sy) uses a dating app and is matched with a "millionaire" (Jacob Blair, who usually plays baddies in Lifetime flicks). Her friend quickly shows her that the dude was previously on a reality show (something like "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire"!) - the friend then reports that the winning woman/fiancee "disappeared" (we see her get murdered in the film's opening), and this doesn't set off any alarm bells about the "millionaire" dude!!??!!
    We also meet the reality show's producer/host (Lisa Marie DiGiacinto), a smarmy piece of work.
    The film pretty quickly reveals that the dude is at least some kind of con man. Which pretty much means he also has to be a murderer.
    This flick pretty much goes exactly where you expect it to.
    The only thing I really kind of liked here was the film's implication that the real villain of the piece was the reality show! producer! (Reality show's producer = worse than murderer! Ha!)
    But as Lifetime flicks go, this one definitely belongs in the bottom half.
