    S12.E02: Biscuit Week

    in The Great British Bake Off

    If Juergen weren't already hands down my favorite, that would have done it. Such a sweet moment on his part. 

    I hate these over the top challenges. I miss seeing simple but beautiful work. Even the best of the showstoppers this round was just okay. it doesn't surprise me at all that the nicest ones were the simplest in structure and "moving bits"

    And I really, really wish Freya didn't have that damned vocal affect because I quite like her, but that voice is worse than nails on a chalkboard for me. 

    I am happy that I don't really dislike any of the bakers. That said, other than Juergen, I don't love any of them either. They are just there. I still miss what this show used to be. 

    Whenever I hear Freya speak all I can think of is Anna Kendrick’s British impression.

    ESPN's coverage is so annoying. The Zverev match ended a while ago and instead of switching us over to McCoCo taking on Hsieh and Mertens in doubles we have to endure a round table of Brad and the Chris’s talking about Djokovic for 30 minutes. Blah.

    The Medal Race

    Not to jinx it but the US should have golds coming in women's basketball and water polo. The women's volleyball team is also playing Brazil for gold and Nelly Korda is currently leading women's golf going into the final round. Leave it to the women to get things done!

    Quoting myself to say all 3 of the US women’s teams plus Nelly Korda in golf won the gold. Amazing stuff!

    The USA subs just aren't as good as the starters.  I'm also not as crazy about Chelsea Gray as the backup point guard, although she is a great shooting guard.  I wonder that Courtney Vandersloot didn't get a look.  

    Fortunately, Taurasi and Stewart are  doing their thing and Griner just came back in.  

    ETA:  The commentators made the excellent point that the first-time Olympians might be nervous.  Also, Kara Lawson is a great color commentator.

    Courtney Vandersloot plays for Hungary. She, like several other US born players, was tired of getting overlooked for the national team and decided to play for another country. It’s a shame because she’s great.

    Meanwhile, the US has the most medals overall, but we are still trailing China in terms of the most Gold medals in these games. The latter metric is unacceptable. I'm a greedy American patriot -- I want us to win in BOTH metrics!

    I can't be too upset over Adam Sandler. I heard he was great in it but he has made so much crap. As an actor I don't know how I feel about him. 

    Nice Florence got in for Little Women finally a worthy Amy. Greta did that as well. Adapted Screenplay for Greata I had a feeling that was all she was going to get. 

    Well Joaquin Phoenix is winning best actor.  Joker got more love then ,any said but at least they nominated a movie people saw. Netflix did well with The Two Popes and Marriage Story. 

    A few snubs no J Lo and Taron Edgerton. Taron was still a long shot so not too surprised.

    I understand why Adam Sandler wouldn't get nominated because, as you said, his film history is full of crap, but man he was good in Uncut Gems. I was one of the few that didn't love Taron in Rocketman so I'm not too upset there. And you're right Greta did get a screenplay nod but as we all know Director is the big prize. I'll be pulling for Bong Joon-ho but it will probably go to Sam Mendes.
