I don't expect it to hold up the second week but judged as a
standalone it's excellent.

(and btw it's over an hour long so even with limited ads CBS will
still likely edit it.)

certainly original. And I can't imagine this will get on CBS without some
pretty major edits.

Do you know who the name of the actress playing the blonde team member? I've
