Mentalist Trivia - Improvised Scenes
For @katebeckets and @whydoyouhavetobefictional.
All the improvised scenes (that I know about) in the show. If you know anymore, please let me know. If I remember any more, I will add them to the list.
1x14 - 'There's no business like Cho business' is an adlib from Simon Baker
S1 - the conversation between Wayne and Grace about carrots and the bloopers of this scene is hilarious.
5x02 - when Charlotte (Dove Cameron) rolls her eyes at Jane (Simon) and he says don't roll your eyes at me
5x04 - Jane's handshake with the mob boss
EDIT 5x14 - the poker scene that was gifed by @tmsource and @katebeckets. Robin dealt those cards to Simon on their second take and Jimmy Gadd (our lovely editor) decided to use the scene in the show.
EDIT 5x21 - when Robin hits Simon on the arm as she is driving and her smile immediately afterwards. He then mentions anger management classes referring back to 3x20 Redacted which is her punishment for punching a suspect for Jane.
ADDED 5x22 - Robin had a hand injury which is why she is wearing a cast on her wrist so the dialogue between her and Simon about it was improvised.
ADDED 6x22 - according to a tweet by Emily Swallow, Simon actually hurt his ankle when filming the airport scene so Jane limping and sitting with his leg propped up is not scripted!
7x05 - the final scene when Jisbon are talking about their future plans. You can tell as Simon's accent slips into Aussie and he directed the episode so kept it in.
7x13 - the crazy dancing of the cast was scripted but the selfie between Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt was an improv.
ADDED 7x13 - the triple kiss between Jane and Lisbon was an improv according to a tweet by Robin Tunney as she stated she had 'never seen a lip wipe in a script'.

15 YEARS OF MENTALIST Day 7: Free Choice (Series Bingo)
I truly can't believe it's been 15 years since this show first aired. It holds such a special place in my heart. So to celebrate I decided to make a Bingo to play while we watch.
I've included some fun things that I notice often in the episodes and some of the things that we all love in the episodes. Please tag me if you play and if you get any Bingo's or Blackouts! And please feel free to tell me what are some things that you would like to see in another Bingo. I had such a fun time making this bingo that I may make another one :)
Thank you @tmsource for hosting this event it was the perfect boost to make this bingo a reality!

There’s so much negative space and I hate it but this was just a practice for a more 2000s adjacent style for like silly things so. Yeah. I only like how Grace and Rigsby turned out tbh I think this style looks awesome on Grace idk
