It’s worth tuning in Sunday at 11. The show was the first time we’ve seen the candidates really interact with one another. Virginia mixed it up more than she has in the past, Freddy and Gifford shared an odd little moment (“Thanks Freddy. You’re great too.”) and Anthony at some point, inexplicably, said, “We do too much prevaricating.”
