Honestly, I enjoyed the appearance of Rossdale in episode 8 of Burn Notice titled “Hard Out.” There’s no doubt that it’s way better than of the Big Show.

TV Fanatic: Where that WWE behemouth was barely on camera and almost swallowed by the scene, Rossdale – as Armand – was both suave and creepy, receiving a good amount of screen time in the process.

On the flip side, I was upset that Pearce and Jesse didn’t get to talk longer. Her curiosity about why Jesse works with Michael after he destroyed Jesse’s career should increase her trust and respect for Michael.

He is going to need it, too, because, no matter how hard Michael tries to avoid it, there is a storm coming, and Pearce could make the difference.

Can you explain Fiona’s jealousy over Pearce to this simple minded male reviewer? I was as baffled as Michael was when she went into jealous mode.  Michael had clearly said she was a woman; and while attractive, I’d put her on par with Fiona, not above, so I don’t get why Fiona suddenly felt threatened or misinformed.

While we are discussing Fiona’s strange behavior, why did she decide not to tell Michael all the details about Armand, and then to get all hurt when Michael didn’t appreciate what she went through to help him?

And, of course, poor Michael (having no idea,) looked like a monkey doing algebra while he was trying to figure out what Fiona was annoyed about.

Actually, this is a good time to mention something about men in general: Hints don’t work, tell us what you want us to know! Let me be clear: subtle hints don’t work, strong hints don’t work, really obvious hints don’t work… If you want us to know something, tell us!

Fiona, if you want Michael to appreciate what you went through with Armand, you have to tell him prior to getting bent out shape so he can properly digest all the details and thank you!

Actually, I’m surprised Fiona let Armand get into her head at all. She seemed very well guarded when she saw him the first two times, so it was a bit of a shock he was able to rattle her about her relationship with Michael so easily in the last visit.

Come on Fi! You know Michael loves you; you have to have more confidence in your relationship than that!

So did you like this episode of Burn Notice?
