S14.E11: The Great Christmas Bake Off
dewelar replied to Athena's topic in The Great British Bake Off
I hope so too! I wouldn't be surprised to see Andy as well. I have noticed, though, that they never have bakers from the most recent season, so since Netflix is a year behind on the holiday shows, it'll likely be 2026 there. -
This annoys me every year. Just because it happens to mention packages and mittens, I guess. Seriously, any song that even mentions Christmas (e.g., "River") or, hell, anything to do with winter ("Let It Snow", "Winter Wonderland", "Baby, It's Cold Outside", etc.) is automatically a Christmas song.

Possibly because when they mentioned who won the bakers' vote later in the episode, the judges seemed surprised, which struck me as odd. -
S15.E09: Patisserie Week - Semi-final

On Extra Slice, she said that she'd spotted it the first week when her station was in the back row. -
Here's one in a different vein. This was the song I used to use to pump me up when I played the sports ball things, but it still feels pretty uplifting to me now.

Honestly, Michael Franti is probably my go-to feel-good guy these days, for either the happy-peppy stuff like "Say Hey" (which became annoyingly ubiquitous a few years back) or the burn-it-all-down stuff like a lot of his early albums. Here's a lesser-known one of his:

Just another reason why orange is my favorite color.

From a sport that deserves way more attention, I give you Dutch handball player Angela Malestein.

I usually enjoy badminton, but so much of it has only been available in three-way split screen that it's been impossible to watch.

This is my favorite of Disney's live-action movies of the era. Disney had so many great character actors under contract at the time, several of whom were used here to great effect -- Mills, Jones, Lanchester, Demarest, Roddy McDowall, Richard Deacon -- add in Frank Gorshin and Neville Brand as the villains, Bobby Darin to sing the theme song, and, of course, DC himself and you have what I consider a brilliant film. Good call. A sad waste of Christina Ricci, who looked too bored to even bother to rise above the material. Should've been a DCOM.

Yes, that's correct. As far as how to describe (team) handball...well, I think of it a lot like water polo, but not in the water :) . One of the announcers described it as a combination of basketball, (non-American) football, and netball...which may or may not help, as I don't know what netball is, either. What I do know is that it's fast-paced and fun to watch, and my favorite team sport to watch at the Olympics, with (non-beach) volleyball a close second.

Tournament of Champions - Season 5 Discussion Thread
dewelar replied to Mellowyellow's topic in Tournament Of Champions
Sadly, I think Shota beat himself by not showcasing the randomizer items enough. I often have trouble predicting who's going to win, but I called this as soon as I saw how little he used the chard and especially the sauerkraut. It's too bad, because Carlos was working my last nerve. I don't remember much about him from past seasons -- has he always been so abrasive? Anyway, here's hoping Jet goes three-for-three against him.- 308 replies
