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.

And her name is a palindrome!

Food Network has given me more than my fill over the years of the Best Story Championship on many, many other shows, so I would gladly take the Holiday Nice Person Championship, please.

Don't forget having the parents in a room watching on the Kids Baking Championship for a season (or was it two?) -- sometimes it's like they're actively trying to ruin the franchise.

Yes, that's rather how I feel about it too 🤣

Same for me! And that is a LOT of thyme. Plus, I don't even know where one gets four terabytes of thyme... 😜

King of Rock by Run-DMC perhaps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wMFOL_sAPk

Just adding my voice to the chorus of those tired of the blood and gore cakes. This is the first time Mrs. Dew and I have ever stopped watching one of these series, and this is why.

The first one is a bit of a puzzler, but the galaxy does have north and south coordinates.

*raises hand* Nearly his entire catalog predates me, but he was my grandfather's favorite, and my mom played the hell out of "That's Life" when I was growing up. Now, I've built a collection of my own of his music. The man defined cool to probably three generations, and modern singers of traditional pop are still chasing his shadow.

I always assumed that he was referring to the West vs. Communism (as that episode was meant to mirror), and that WW III was some alternate configuration.

See, I also heard it as "the linen", which made sense to me as the singer saying he just wanted to see his lover and not sleep with her (i.e., linen sheets).

This is actually hinted at -- there's a throwaway line by Otho, something like, "if you commit suicide, you become a civil servant in the afterlife." Glenn Shadix was great in that role. The overall casting of this movie was mostly great -- the mains (Keaton, Davis, Baldwin, Ryder) were all pretty perfectly cast, and then Shadix, Sylvia Sidney, Jeffrey Jones (if you can put aside his real-life loathsomeness), Robert Goulet all nailed their parts. Surprisingly, I think Catherine O'Hara was kind of the weak link as Delia -- unlike the other characters, she didn't come off as real to me. Anyway, a great movie, and required watching every October in the Dewelar house.

Whenever I see topics like this, I can't help but notice a lot of artists pop up that had long careers in the UK or elsewhere in the world. Coming from a different angle, who were some artists that were huge in the US but were one-hit wonders elsewhere? To kick things off, I present John Denver, who had a bunch of hits in the US, but only a single top 40 hit in the UK:

Ne-VA-duh, with an a like in "ham", is correct. Ne-VAH-duh, with an a like in "car", is incorrect.
