Tiresome
FarrierNoire21 January 2024
There have been at least 10 episodes devoted to Kate being jealous with Luke acting like a bumbling idiot not realizing he's "flirting" with whatever woman is opposite Kate.

I love the show but my God I hope this is the final "jealous Kate/Luke being oblivious" episode I ever see.

I have a feeling it won't be though.

The premise itself isn't interesting whatsoever. 3 episodes max about Kate being jealous I would've been okay with but did they really think we want to see Luke and Kate go back and forth, for it to ultimately always end with "oh sugar babe.. you know I love you."

Luke and Kate are always fun and great to watch...unless it involves their love life, jealousy or bitterness toward each other.

I agree totally with Farrier.

When I put my DVD in the player and saw that the name of this episode was "Kate's Competition", I rolled my eyes and thought "UGH! Not again!". How many times do we have to be subjected to Kate and her jealousy and anger and henpecking, domineering treatment of Luke? I have had my Real McCoys DVDs for a while, and lately decided to get them out and start watching them again. Watching the episodes this time, for some reason I really noticed the fact that Kate can just flat out be a spoiled brat and a hag! I used to like "Sugar Babe" and again I don't know why I didn't notice it before, but she can really be a bossy, domineering witch of a woman. And her jealous rampages are not entertaining. Neither is the way they make Luke look like a fool.

The writers could have done a much better job. Again, I agree with Ferrier, they really ran this theme/plot into the ground.

If they had had just one episode of Luke turning her over his knee and giving her what she needed like John Wayne did Maureen O'Hara in "McClintock!"👍🏻 Very lazy job on the writers part in rehashing yet again this tired, boring, unfunny story.
