Most of the action belongs to Fielder’s Asher, who still hasn’t managed to get Monica to squash the brand-compromising interview he gave last week. Without word from HGTV about whether Flipanthropy is getting picked up, “Pressure’s Looking Good So Far” sees our central trio at loose ends. I did not intend to leave myself any loopholes, and yet this week, in Bill’s casino office, I instinctively muted my computer when the Gatorade showers began. I would take the excruciating awkwardness of every Nathan Fielder choreographed moment like a pro. After letting myself down viewing The Rehearsal and Nathan for You, I made a promise to myself: No pressing pause for the duration of this series. We are, so far, a slight contingent (a subset of the people who subscribe to Showtime - already a select group), but what we lack in numbers we make up for in cringe endurance.
