It's been replaced by Big Blue Chinoiserie Pot, which is now on the mantel. (I've always wanted to use "Chinoiserie" in a sentence, so thanks!)

I think Soul Train night was taped last week. There were spoilers out there about how the contestants did.

She’ll be back for two days only, from what I read. Rock On!

I read that they have cast Josh Morrow's (Nick of Y&R) 19 year oldish kid Crew as Will Spencer. It will be his first TV acting job (Crew, not Josh).

ML89 above shared a youtube link to Kévin D'Andrea‘s Breaking Baguettes show. It’s fun and worth watching. All five episodes are now also on Peacock. It’s him interviewing current and former Olympians (and they also interview him), then cooking with them. NBC is producing it as part of their Paris Olympics coverage. Kévin is very affable and has a good rapport with the athletes. I hope he’ll have more hosting duties in the future.

I’m sure that Saratoga, “the official sparkling water of “Top Chef,” appreciated Dan’s ripping out an enormous belch after chugging their product. Made me laugh.

I'm OK with the changes, using the "some form of SYTCD is better than none" philosophy, but the overly-scripted comments from the judges are making me cringe. Down to top 8 already, so do we only have 4 episodes left?

Sheila was probably reconnecting with her plastic surgery doppelgänger Sugar and somehow convinced her to attack Steffy in her home. That explains why Sugar said nothing while attacking her - Steffy might have noticed the voice change? Better count those toes!

Sheila’s mom was so traumatized when she found out that she had a stroke and was barely able to talk. I only remember this because we used to go around saying “Shee lah swished ba bees!” (funny what the mind remembers from 30 years ago!)

I think they'll keep Finn as the father. That way, Beth and Hayes can be a couple in the future, with warring mothers (rinse, repeat . . .)

I think the endgame for the preposterous Hope/Thomas kiss is to cause some cracks in the Steffy/Finn marriage. They needed a reason for Liam to run once more to Steffy. Someone must have snapped a pic of the kiss of Steffy and Liam, which will miraculously end up in the hands of Sheila. I smell a jigsaw puzzle blackmailing in the future (which happened twice on Y&R).

My pulse was pounded by those exciting action sequences! It just needed some Batman TV show BAMs! And POWs!

I’ve only been watching this show since 2020 (started because they were the first ones back filming), so I have to ask - are they ever capable of carrying more than one storyline at a time? It was Sheila/Sheila/Sheila, now Hope/Hope/Hope. I’ve seen half hour soaps before (going back to Ryan’s Hope!) that managed to juggle multiple stories. It is so boooooooring if you don’t like the one plot they’re using as a sledgehammer.

Truly trivial trivia: I just started watching MTM after decades and was surprised that Chuckles made an appearance in a very early episode. He was played by Valerie Harper's husband, Richard Schaal.

On the topic of pronunciation, is anyone bugged by the host's and judges' botching of Clement's name? The contestants are saying Cleh-MON, which sounds like the correct French way, while Jesse and company are saying it CLEM-ent, like Clement Clark Moore. (Apologies if this has been brought up before.)
