It kind of seemed cruel for the police to ice the family out and let them keep hoping to find her alive. I know police can't reveal details of the case such as all the blood they found, but they could have sat the brother and sister down, looked earnestly into their eyes and said, "Listen, our investigation leads us to strongly believe your sister is not alive."

Stop calling it danger rock, Roland!!!!!!!! I know they all mean it in a respectful way, but if I am ever killed and eaten by a predator, I hope the predator does not thank me and tell me how beautiful I am while it is killing me. : D Did the guy with the meat briefs hanging in the tree leave? I can't remember which one he was. I really need a cheat sheet with the name and a few identifiers.

Sort of. They get eliminated from the singles competition for the big 200K prize but get to stay in there team to win team challenge money. Most of the people commenting on the show seem to really like it.

I will give it another chance. I guess I just don't enjoy watching people shovel stuff or move a wheelbarrow. (Unless they are at a wild animal refuge in Africa!) The show is trying to be 100% positive and while I totally appreciate a show without FORCED drama, I do think natural tension and drama between people competing is interesting on the Amazing Race and would be interesting here too. The slo motion hugging was just a bit much. Since it seems to be totally his baby, I am wondering if Phil used to work a manual labor job? Is there a personal reason he has such admiration for it?

Love him, but I am reminded that Jonathon Jackson had quite a few stretches with really unfortunate facial hair. I really, really just want to live long enough to see Sonny and Carly brought down. I'm 54, so it's questionable. : D Assuming the show doesn't last more than 5 or so more years at best, I do hope the producers bring it to a decent moral conclusion. If the violent, unethical mob boss and his clan get some kind of heroic happy Walton's ending, it will be soooo unsatisfying. There must be a huge fan base keeping them as heros and protagonists, but I just don't get it.

I started one here... https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/110397-tough-as-nails/ I only watch one hour of the premier, but I must report that it literally put me to sleep.

Phil Keoghan hosts as hard working Americans fight for a chance to win money competing in individual and team challenges. um... I mean... I just... why? But to be fair, I fell asleep after the first hour, so maybe it gets better. Still love you, Phil!

Reynold: "This season, my dishes have been inspired by love, god, the universe and world peace, but I've been saving one dish this whole competition, and I'm going to do it tonight! Now is the time! [music swells] I'm going to make a dish inspired by.... Harry Potter." I busted out laughing, people. Mel: "Look at these tuiles. Reynold didn't just make tuiles, he BENT the tuiles! This is tuiles on a whole other magical level that I have never seen before." OMG, she went on about how they were curved twice! I'm sorry but that dish did not even look appetizing to me. It looked like a football helmet for some team called the Golden State Finches. Meanwhile, Callum's dish looked amazing. It had just as many bits and bobs as Reynold's, and all the judges thought it was very creative and next level. They all cleaned their plates. Jock pronounced it one of the best liver parfaits he'd ever had. And Laura's was totally unique and beautiful, too. Maybe if they had dunked them in liquid nitrogen so their dishes could emerge from a billowy mist they would have had a shot.

Yeah, about Reynold's dish ~he said he was just happy he was able to get it up, but I was unmoved by the size of his stalk. I did rather enjoy this last cook. It was mostly just creative and happy. You see show, we do not need the frantic unnecessary drama of a Poh cook to be entertained. ... ... And just as I was thinking that to myself the preview for tomorrow came on. OH. MY. GOD. I have not seen such offensive theatrics since Cats, the movie. For me, either Callum or Emelia need to win this, as they have both shown amazing savory and sweet dishes across a broad range. Especially Callum.

@PepperMonkey, I am indeed. ...And you're welcome! PS. If we end up with Callum, Emelia and Laura in the final, we might lure you back!

Okay last week you guys were hiding out in the previous week's thread, and this week you are talking about last week's elmination in this week's thread. ... ...I'm starting to think you are trying to ditch me! : D I was so tense the whole elimination. Poh botched the pressure test and then decides to not only do a dish she already knows well in the second round (of course), but it's a dish she's already done in the competition! And that music as she was faltering at the end was like something from a scene out of Saving Private Ryan for fuck's sake. Anyway, she still screwed it up, but I was sure they would somehow find a way to put her in the top two. I was totally prepared to be all...

I only know the one bloke from the Apprentice, cuz I watch that too. He's a character, but they all seem alright. I did notice a few WTF looks on the faces of the resaurant chef's but surely they know what they are in for and are okay with a trade for the free publicity. Oh my, I still have 2 more episodes to catch up on. So I guess they are showing 3 a week?

Seeing that Callie's shelter was still basically a frame and a tarp and that she is living meal to meal does not instill me with confidence. Priorities, girl, make your pottery later! I think Keith wanted to go and the vomits gave him an out. I mean, yeah, food poisoning SUCKS in a bed with a bucket, so I am sure that was rough, BUT if he was really as serious about not tapping as he previously stated, he could have just taken it easy and slowly drank a bit of water until the next day to see how he was fairing. Most of the time one is much improved within 24 hours. Like @LittleIggy, as soon as that fly went in the ear, I was like, dude, do not stick shit in your ear! You are just pushing it further in. Flood the ear and it will wash out!!!

I jumped into this show this season cuz I am a fan of Josh Holloway, so I have only seen two episodes. Can someone tell me is Beth bipolar? That is how she comes off to me, with the chronic drinking and the wild behavior. I'm liking the show, but the wolf watching the sexing was wholly cringe-worthy.

She did the same thing she did when befuddled by the figs, just cut them up and put them on the plate. I had to laugh when she set those ginormous gnocchi down on the table. I mean those babies were monstrous. I was thinking, Poh, you should have selected the largest bowel in the pantry to make them look smaller! When Reynold wings it, he actually comes up with some of his best stuff. Bummer for Laura, but I love how Jock comes up to her at like 4 minutes to go to point out how the molasses in the crumble might overpower the vanilla. Not as helpful as pointing out Reynold needs a sponge a few minutes into the challenge when he still have plenty of time to make one.

The show was so much better when it was not afraid to show Sonny/Jason for what they are. If this storyline was done today, it would probably be some other mobster finds out who Dante is and Sonny/Jason actually save him from getting shot or some bullshit like that, and then everybody lines up to kiss Sonny's ring, and Jordan thanks him, and Dante admits he was wrong for trying to go after a mob boss as moral and kind as Sonny.

I was wondering where you guys were. Why are you hiding out in last week?! 😄

Isn't the whole point of the Mystery Box to make the chef's use their creativity, talent, and knowledge of how flavors work together to come up with dishes they've not done before, like Callum, Emelia and Laura did for the Rubix Cube challenge. It's not meant for the chef's to just do exact dishes they have been cooking for years, if not decades, and fit them into the brief. (Reynold, Poh and Reece) Has Poh even cooked anything this entire season that isn't something in her repertoire ? It seems to me the couple times she got thrown off by an actual challenge like with the beef and figs or whatever that was, she basically made carpaccio, cut up the figs, read a magazine with the remaining 45 minutes, and then got praised for her simplicity. One challenge per episode is not enough now that they are down to so few. They should throw in some invention tests, skills challenges, whatever. I'm tired of hearing all them say over and over again they want to make it to the final whatever, and it's coming down to the slightest of margins, and one tiny error can send you home, and they really want that immunity, and they are up against the best of the best, and blahhhhhh.

That was way too big of a clue to give Reynold during a "make a classic" challenge. But I've no doubt that even if Tessa had included the capers, they would have still put her into the bottom for the "slightly" over fish. Reynold basically made a tasty sorbet with some crumbs. In my opinion the presentation was a failure. It did NOT look like space, nor an asteroid, nor even appetizing. It looked like a black cow patty with a hunk of Extra Brite Playdo on it, with some white pebbles in the mist. None of them met the brief really, and both Poh and Reynold did poorly in the first challenge, but whatevs. Not sure why they were mean girling Tessa, but I hope they didn't break her. PS. Note to production: I never need to see Poh gazing into an oven/freezer with consternation again as long as I live. PPS. I did notice the Laura butt shot, but, to be fair, they had been doing that to Simon earlier, so at least they are not sexist in the exploiting of butts.

Bill's New Rule ate itself. Is he trying to support Black Lives Matter by criticizing how white people are too critical of how other white people are trying to support Black Lives Matter?

I could tell they were actually together and it was just kind of shocking seeing as the whole event was designed to be socially distanced. Then bam there they are at the very end together without any explanation. Way to set an example!

Team Squirrel! Is it me or are they featuring a lot more butchery this season? I can do without the "coming up....." scenes. I already have to close my eyes and mute during the lengthy title sequence which gives too much away. Also, I hate it when they open with a scene of who is going home and then back up and show what leads to it. I mean, Jesus God, can you possibly take any more suspense out of it?! The meat briefs suspended high up but away from foliage seems much harder for an animal to get at than the meat stand, and takes a LOT less energy to set up and manage. Plus, as some of y'all said, Jordans stand proved it is not fool-proof, where it would hard to mess up the hanging bag. Don't make the bag too big though, or a bird of prey might land on it and claw it open.

Even if they are neighbors... that did not look like social distancing to me. Also, I think he actually looks better with some gray in the hair.

I found in on the main General Hospital page. Happy for JT! But want to know what the story is with Mo and that woman he was with? Also, there is a web show with Sean Kanan and the Diane actress? Studio City. Is it any good?

Yay, JT won an emmy! He and his family were totally adorable. (Though I was rooting for JL.). At least Joss didn't win! Boo, MW should have won! Um, what's going on with Mo and that woman? Wait, there is some web show out there with Sean Kanan and the Diane actress?
