And the earworm!

Another crappy 1/5, Monday only. I did get 'moons' for Thursday's FJ but never got to the 'of Jupiter' part.

That would be my choice. Or just go further down the line based on most money won.

Did the contestant correct himself?

1/5 0* Just Smokey the Bear for me. I thought I was familiar with all the Winnie the Pooh books but I guess I missed that first one.

I hadn't heard any rumors that Rex had died but then I don't go to Reddit. I thought the delay in the show was maybe because Diesel had just gotten too old to do the job and they were training one of the other dogs. I am very sorry to hear about John's cancer and do hope he is all recovered now.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow.

Have a safe trip home, @Browncoat. I appreciate your taking us along with you on your trip.

1/5 0* I just got Blanche DuBois. I could not get on the site until just a few minutes ago. Didn't know what to do with myself all day.

2/5 1* Sardinia and Marie Curie.

Oppenheimer was my first response for FJ but I very quickly switched to Marie Curie, didn't even think it might be Pierre. Kit Carson shoutout to us. I am very familiar with the Oscar Wilde quote and was surprised that none of the contestants knew it.

There's a great big table of us 'just Morticia' people.

Emmaline had given him a healing so he was much improved if not completely cured.

It did add an extra syllable so I think it would have been ruled incorrect, had it been the correct answer in the first place.

Ditto.

Yeah, I hate wasting food even as you say, it's not good food. Ann Marie is really growing on me but I don't think she's going to be around much longer. How many times has she been nominated for elimination already?

That was a very satisfying conclusion to the competition. I'm glad Chanty and Moira were the final two and the best chef won.

A lowly 1/5 0* for me this week, good thing I knew Tennessee Waltz.

@cardigirl, I take it you are watching MM on CBC Gem? That is a week before we get it on regular CBC. I really enjoyed this episode for all the reasons everyone has already pointed out. I liked seeing Christmas from the point of view of different people from different walks of life. I loved seeing Margaret kicking out her very annoying sisters as well as the Higgins-Newsomes, although Ruthie was hilarious. The Starbright Room certainly seemed the place to be on that Christmas Eve. Loved Brackenreid arriving just in time to catch the bad guy. I hope Watts' new relationship goes well. He deserves some happiness in life. I enjoyed the jazz Christmas music but when they had Shane MacGowan sing I was just amazed - I have never heard that song before and it floored me. I do love me some Irish singing. Wonder when this was filmed since he died Nov. 30 2023.

The Frost clue was a missed DD in DJ last night. I was referring to Monday's FJ. I did not get last night's FJ either. I saw US Supreme Court Justices and knew I wouldn't get it. I didn't.

Once again they sent the right person home but I was sad to see Lisa go. On Haan's part I thought that was a prettty desperate move, and not a good idea, to mention to the judges all the challenges he's won when everyone knows that everything rests on your last dish. I liked his Lady and the Tramp concept but he just didn't pull it off too well.

He reminds me of Father Brown, as played by Mark Williams. I did not get FJ. I was hung up on it being something by Kipling but the only book of his I've read is Kim and I knew it wasn't that so I had nothing.

@Grundoon59, I gave you Fire for your 5/5 + 1* but I would also like to send hugs to you for your awful cold. My cold is also hanging around and sounding like consumption. I guess it will eventually go away. I am having chicken soup for lunch to help it on its way. We need to be able to do two emojis at once to make our response more precise, like Fire/Hugs, LOL/sad, etc. Pipped by Clanstarling right before I posted!

For FJ I pre-called Psycho but Gaslight never entered my mind. It's been so long since I've seen the movie that it just wasn't on my radar. I remember Angela Lansbury playing the housekeeper who helped the husband. Have a wonderful trip, @Browncoat!
