![]() This burden clearly weighs upon the chameleon-like Colin as he also navigates a complicated personal life – Ted Lasso uses this episode to finally reveal, in full clarity, the fact that Colin is gay and has been in the closet for the whole time we’ve known him.Ī budding relationship with the football-illiterate Michael seems to be both a source of private joy and yet another burden, as Colin endures casual homophobia from teammates and has Michael pose as his heterosexual wingman at a group dinner. ![]() Zava’s presence doesn’t just stifle Jamie’s development as a player, it also totally ruins Colin’s, as he’s shifted from a reliable member of the starting line-up to the bench. Jamie’s right, we know it, and so, eventually, does Roy, who takes it upon himself to prod Jamie out of a private sulk about the matter and offer to spend his free time training Jamie one-on-one to become the best player on the team again. Jamie is our audience lens into the Zava story, he is, as discussed below, “the one guy in a musical who knows they’re all singing.” As Richmond’s former diva, he should know – despite how potentially ironic or hypocritical it might be – just how damaging a personality like this can be, and as the episode continues it becomes clear that Jamie’s inflated sense of self was not even one tenth as bad as our man Zava’s. ![]() So does Jamie Tartt, who watches this all go down with a mix of general scorn, resentment about losing his striker spot, and genuine concern for the dressing room chemistry that he’s come so far to thrive in. ![]() We know that if Richmond is going to win the league, this should not be the way that it happens. It’s completely antithetical to the team-first approach that Ted has worked so hard on, both on the pitch and off it. It’s one that Ted doesn’t take up, instead letting the celebrity player entirely dictate how things are going to be done, and everyone seems entirely happy to just go along with that. He speaks beautiful, poetic bullshit, but it’s clear that there is an immovable object in there – the way he re-arranges the coaches careful formation into one that centers him and only him is a steely challenge. Rather, he drifts through Nelson Road like a gentle and benevolent god, blessing the mortals with his breath, his touch, and his presence. Richmond’s new Zlatan-coded big dog, played with hysterical finesse by Maximilian Osinski, is not, perhaps, the outwardly prickish presence that some might have expected. Zava is here, and it’s an honour for us to meet him. Ted Lasso season 3, episode 3 covers a swathe of time that sees Richmond shoot into the top four on the league table, thanks their newly arrived superstar. Read on for our review of Ted Lasso season 3, episode 3, ‘4-5-1.’ Oh, and Colin’s gay, but we knew that already. Roy’s observation of this leads to a new development for the pair, while news from home throws Ted for a loop and a visit to a psychic has Rebecca looking for signs. ![]() In this week’s Ted Lasso, Zava charms Richmond with his crazy goals and cult leader tendencies, but Jamie won’t buy in, keeping his concerns to himself lest they be judged as sheer jealousy. ![]()
