  1. A big city person always rushes into a small town diner and starts ordering a fancy latte or cappuccino. They never stop to look at the menu and cant understand a place that doesn't serve double lattes. Plus, the small town waitress invariably looks mystified because she is too backward to know what a cappuccino is.
  2. Glad Dwayne won and loved that he said he was winning for himself. No sob story about a dead grandmother or proving to his family his talent. Just loved it!
  3. Maybe it is just me, but this was one of my favorite seasons. At first, I wasnt overly impressed with Morbid Masterminds, but became more impressed as the show went on. Loved Team Ghou'ld and am glad they won. (Real minority, but I didn't mind Tator). I just really liked this season.
  4. Definitely the best two teams have moved on. I still am rooting for Team Gould whose work I prefer. Those heads were great!
  5. Love Ghouled works so far but have been oddly blah with Morbid Masterminds. I am just not as impressed as I am supposed to be. Still, I know they are better than the limericks team. Too bad for the pumpkin carver on the rhyming team. He deserves better.
  6. When I buy a baguette, it doesn't fit the plastic bag. ( no paper or recycled bag for me) However, it never looks whimsical because usually it is flopping around and I have to worry about it falling out of the bag. I guess I'm not the tv baguette type.
  7. I thought the winning dress was ok. I liked it even less though after seeing it in the Penny's catalog. No real shape and not flattering on the model at all. I'm not crazy about the twins, but I think Amy should have gone home. That outfit was well made but beyond ugly!
  8. I like John Henson. So far, he isn't too far over the top. The guy with the balloons looked really familiar but I can't think of what other competition he has been in. Guys Grocery Games maybe? I know I am in the EXTREME minority, but I have never cared for Carla Hall since the earliest times of Top Chef. She still continues to grate and I think my dislike is getting worse. Too bad, because I really like this show and look forward to it every year.
  9. Walking in a wooded area today made me think of this one. Every sound in the woods is always made by a person hiding or stalking another character. The stalked person then asks, "is anybody there?" because the sound couldn't be made by squirrels, chipmunks, deer, falling fruit, branches etc. (esp. in the fall). Seriously, the woods on tv must be the quietest places on earth. On the other extreme, you'll get the tv outdoorsman who seems to know automatically if a sound is made by a forest creature or a person. Maybe this one is true. I don't hunt so I don't know.
  10. Not a great fan of his comedies but Lewis was great in a dramatic role in the old series Wiseguy. One of my favorite storylines. R.I.P Mr. Lewis.
  11. In a way, I agree with you because of all the shows (fiction and nonfiction) that have dealt with child sexual abuse. However, the pain was so raw and the details so unflinchingly graphic that I found the episode very compelling. That being said, I actually found the descriptions of the everyday life of a child in scientology (or junior sea org so to speak) to be even more interesting. I wish I had heard more of that, mostly because I find it so totally bizzarre.
  12. I just thought of Quincy and that may have been one of the few shows in which the morgue was brightly lit.
  13. Yes, I am also a sucker for episodes in which some, if not all, passengers survive. I find stories about air crashes fascinating but still want to see everyone live.
  14. Ug, I am one of the few people that found the Ferris Bueller obnoxious even though I was a teenager and was supposed to relate.The commercials aren't that much better.
  15. I got pretty far into it but found that, more and more, I would put the book down and forget about it. I can't say I disliked it, but I just lost interest. Honestly, I don't think it ever gripped me like I expected. After awhile, I read the last few pages and then gave it away.
  16. I was thinking I might like Game of Thrones, so I decided to read the first book. I found it pretty boring, couldn't get through it, so never bothered with the series.
  17. I detest, unrationally detest the Infiniti commercial with the girl taking the driving test. I hate the smug girl and her smug mother, the now stereotyped dumb clueless boy standing on the side and the awestruck instructor who is just sooo impressed. I would have failed her for the simple reason that she failed to listen to any instructions. Everything about that commercial makes me unreasonably angry that I have to turn the channel if it comes on.
  18. Paradox, you are probably right. I mean, she must be a smart, driven journalist to get to where she is. However, her whole demeanor was just weird and distracting and I just had trouble getting past it. Still, I loved the others and am looking forward to next season.
  19. Glad to hear it wasn't just me. Like the people or not, I have always felt that each person interviewed in this series had genuine experiences and feelings. It is one of the reasons why the show is so fascinating to me. She was the first person who felt "off".
  20. Am I the only one who thought Janet Reitman(sp?) was a bit ditsy? I mean, she writes this hard hitting expose, but she seemed continually surprised at how bad Scientology is. Everyone else was fascinating to hear but she was so distracting, she nearly ruined the show for me.
  21. I was only able to see the last couple of minutes, but I am incredibly glad Sugar Pyschos won. I may have defended the Under bakers last week, but that did not mean I wanted them to win the championship. Tomorrow, I can happily watch my recording of the show knowing my favorite team won!
  22. I really liked the top of the winning look but the pants were awful! Lawrence should not have won this week. Plus, as much as I appreciate the craftsmanship of her outfits, I am getting a little bored with the sameness.
  23. My UO is that I don't think every judging decision on TV contests are rigged to create more drama. Not every disliked contestent is getting through just because the producers want more storyline. Maybe I am being naive, but I do believe that most judges are judging using their own personal standards and beliefs to decide who is cut or who goes on. I know producer influence can and does happen, but in some cases, a disliked contestant may get through simply because they were better.
  24. Ah, I don't watch South Park so I didn't know where the phrase came from. It still grates!
