Declaimer I am a Bill's fan so I was glad about this. But I was confused when they decided to do an outside kick right at the start of the fourth quarter. I mean it was great, they basically just gave us a touchdown. But it was a weird call for that point in the game, when they were only behind by 10 points.

It was clear that Georgie won based on her show stopper. And honestly hers was the only one I'd eat. Strawberries and cream is a classic flavor. I'm glad that Dylan got a job at a Michelin star restaurant as that is what he wanted to do.

I honestly thought they were grapes. I think I zoned out when she first said what she was making. That might have been the closest semi-finale I've seen. There was no clear person to send home. But Gill makes sense based on previous weeks.

As a Bill's fan, I'm glad to say we managed to beat the chiefs. Now if we can beat them in a playoff game that would be amazing. I'm not sure, they never showed her on the TV if she was there.

Long story short, I decided a month or so ago to finish Smallville. As I had stopped somewhere in season 9, didn't know where (apparently it was Echo). For no reason other then life happening. But I saw it was on Hulu. I thought I'd post my thoughts on this thread, as it deals with all seasons. Hopefully that's okay Season 1-4: I didn't rewatch these this time, as I've seen them so many times. But these are good seasons, because they are so grounded. It is about the characters doing normal things while dealing with the freaks-of the week. Which the later seasons kind of lack. season 5 & 6: I started with these as they are my favorite. I love the Clark & Chloe friendship (still do). And this is where it really gets it's start. Chloe shows to be a good friend after she finds out. These two seasons have the perfect balance between the "grounded" first few seasons and the serial story of the later seasons. Season 7: Or I should say the forgot season. I did watch this one when it aired, but all I remembered was Kara being there and the infamous Pete episode. Now that I've binged past it, I still can't remember most of it. I think Kara was underused which is a shame because she was a good character and this remains true in her appearances after. Season 8: This is probably the worst season in my opinion. The doomsday stuff goes on to long. They waste Jimmy, like it's awesome that he is the only character to figure the secret on his own (without seeing Clark do anything) only to kill him off right afterwards. The Lana stuff is so old at this point, and I wish they didn't rehash it. And the whole thing with Lex isn't explained well,unless I just missed something. I get that Michael didn't come back, but I feel like they didn't really explain how Lex ended up so disabled. Season 9: I loved this season a lot. Collum Blue (Zod) was clearly having fun with the role, and it worked. I bought that he was charismatic and why people would follow him. Lois & Clark starting date was great, as was Oliver & Chloe. My really only complaint was a this point Lois not knowing was ridiculous. Every other character knew at this point, and it was insulting her intelligent. Yes I know she learns at the end of the season but that was so late. Season 10: This was a good season as well. Though the Lois knowing (but Clark not knowing she knows) went on way to long. But once that was resolved the season got better. I have to admit (not bring real life crap in), but Chloe's absence was felt. Once she came back for the 4 or so episode arc the show just seemed so much better. I love the team dynamic and wish we saw more of it. The finale, which I literately just watched was rushed. I also feel like we didn't get present day closer. Like why would Clark & Lois not immediately get married. What happened with the farm. Martha guilt Clark (well me) into saying he shouldn't sell it, but this wasn't resolved.The use of Lex, honestly was also a negative for me. At this point it made no sense to bring him back. And despite his good scene with Clark, there was no purpose to him as the threat had nothing to do with him, and his return honestly didn't make sense. He's a part of all the clones I guess? Overall thoughts: Tess: great addition. I like how the twist of her going from grey character to good guy happened over the course of the last few seasons. And I'm glad one Luther turned out not to be evil. Just wish she got a better ending. Oliver: I didn't remember my opinion of him the first time I watched. But he grew on me a lot. I wish we got to see him with his son and wife (Chloe). But at least we got the arrows to show they are still together. Over use of timetravel/comic book things: Like I said the earlier seasons are so grounded. The later seasons has to much future people. I know it's supposed to be surprising but "Clark becomes superman!". I seriously didn't need this shoved in my face so much. And I found most of the future people annoying. The worst being the ones with the rings. Suit: This I know was a thing that annoyed a lot of people. I'm not one of them. I didn't care if Tom put on the suit, we get that he grew up and will ware it. We got to see him finally fly, and he has that cute exchange with Lois on the plane. Also, lets be honest Clark had been superman since season 8 or so just without the name. Overall, I'm glad I finished the show after all these years. I still think the characters are what make this show. And I think they are why I will be rewatching this. Anyhow sorry this is so long but 10 season show there was a lot.

I'm glad the show had Noel just come out and say it was Dylan. As it wasn't really close, he got a handshake in signature, won the technical and had an amazing show stopper. Sumayah was the right one to send home. Lemon and Coffee sounds gross together. And based on Paul's reaction, it was.

They could have had her still be in it, just not "get back together" with Clark. Actually it would have been refreshing if she told him that she wasn't looking for any relationship, as she had so many issues with what Lex did to her. And to meant everything she said in the "dear John letter" but since life has brought her back to central Kansas, she wants to tell him in person as he deserved that. Then I was thinking that they could have had her notice Clark almost kiss Lois at the wedding. And tell him it's okay (not that he needed her permission) but it would have been nice. Maybe have the scene kind of mirror the Oliver & Lois scene where he tells her to go for it. They have a scene in the Talon which would have been perfect for this conversation. Then the rest of her appearances would be centered around her getting her revenge on Lex (just like the actual show) only instead of getting that suit, she destroys it.

As sad as I was to see Nelly go, Dylan's at least tasted good. Nelly's didn't look appetizing, but that's because I wouldn't put spinach in a cake. That being said, I'm calling it right now, she'll be back for one of the holiday episodes. I was wondering this too. He seemed sad or something. I mean throughout the whole episode.

Oh. I didn't think it was that bad. He should have realized it was a bad time to try to talk to her or anyone for that matter, it was toward the end of time. But as other's have said, he backed of when she asked.

I feel like I'm missing context? He didn't do anything to show this at least in this episode.

This as well. If they not done the stupid rebound thing with Lana in season 8. Then that season was setting up the relationship between Clark and Lois actually nicely. The two have a nice and funny moment at Chloe's engagement party and they almost kiss at the wedding. Maybe they start noticing each other a season earlier.

I'm watching this season for the first time. And this is something that bothers me. It's not just Clark, it seems like all the characters dropped out of college. Chloe may have graduated off screen. But besides a throw away line (in season 7 I think?) there was no mention of her attending college. How did Clark get the job at the Daily Planet with only a little bit of college (likely one semester) and no work experience. At least Lois had a year and half at the inquisitor as a journalist. Seeing Clark trying to do a dorm/college life, could have been fun. Plus this would have solved a lot of things. The forever changing compute time between Smallville and Metropolis. As they would all just be already in the city. Maybe have Clark transfer to the school Chloe (and Lana) were going too. Sure, the title town would be less important, but it kind becomes that way anyway.

At first I thought did they all get the same sauce to use or something. But then I realized they were all different. So they did make them. It's weird that it wasn't mentioned at all.

No, the part with taking his food out the oven. But I might just be getting the constants confused.

I think I actually agree with the decision to keep Sumayah and send Mike home. While both had a rough week. She was toward the top in the past weeks. It makes it interesting if they are factoring the whole competition. Especially when it is that close, that it could go either way. As star baker, I'm glad they gave it to Georgie. As this on the other hand wasn't really close. They always name other people but she was at the top for all the challenges. And since everyone's showstopper was kind of meh, it made sense based on the other two challenges. Well except for Nelly's, I wanted to eat that off the screen, but she just saved herself with it. That was Mike, I think. That said that. And now I get it lol. I honestly didn't at first.
