    Raj and Tam, Tam and Raj

    Not much to say here. More people meddling in other people's business. There's something rather unattractive about the woman Raj is engaged to. She is from a totally different world. Tam was Sheldon's friend in school but something happened to mess up their friendship. Just another bland episode.

    Sub-par

    One of those WTF episodes... all over the place and going nowhere.
