Not quite -insta- for me but as soon as I could actually read the clue I got it. I'll be interested to see if the board is cleared next game, Mikey seemed to look back and forth a lot before choosing a clue, something I don't understand, just pick something!

I didn't mind it too much as it could have been so much worse, Japanese/Mexican week anyone? and kept thinking of Brendan from season 3 (British season 3) when so many of his bakes were described as '70s' by Paul. I love Brendan.

They ask for the Geographic Word in the title, if -highland- is a geographic word then I can see the wiggle room. Highland is a word within the word Highlands. They did specifically ask for a word from the title, just a geographic word that was in the title. Sorry, probably not explaining well but I can see the wiggle room.

I actually got Sancho Panza, a character I never think about but despite knowing who it was supposed to be only got Don, even though 'Quixote' is probably the most famous part of the those names. Such is the state of my brain these days. I was rather sad no one knew the Bandersnatch, even with the frumious given. Along with that I got Immortal Portal, and Ocean's Eleven.

I think maybe, because it also crossed my mind, she was trying to think of First Ladies who would be against dancing? Lemonade Lucy might have fit that part? I was trying to remember if any were Quakers or something else very conservative, before I went to first names, duh! Really should've focused on dances. I'm half Polish and the first dance I ever remember was a polka at my Aunt's wedding when I was a flower girl.

I was going thru dances---easier! I was randomly going though pres's names also, but I was going through first names for some reason. I figured out when it was over that I should have been going through dances instead!

1950s Movies. 1950s TV Shows. 1950s Songs. 1950s Stars. 1950s Bestsellers. 😁I was born in the 50s.

I tried putting together the ears and the shell and got nothing, so I went with just the shell and came up with armadillo, thankfully! I said the Gutenberg printing press, I'm not sure why I didn't think of the Bible, something about the category and clue made me think of a 'thing' and books just aren't 'things' for me? I was just happy that I was correct on the Gutenberg part.

Did anyone else think it was kinda dumb for Marshall to text the guys and tell them exactly where he was?

I doubt it, the base is not really near the South Pole which is just a little dot sort of in the middle of the continent. If you answer a DD and Ken stands there like a statue, say something! even if you just repeat what you just said, maybe it will kick your brain into gear.

I wouldn't mind Eva coming back, with another Chekhov's Gun. What exactly did Sazz know about the Westies, and how do we know she knew it? Sorry my memory isn't what it was and I just can't remember this.

Thank you for that! I went back and looked at the 10/21 game, that's the one with the Lose a Letter category. Ken said that each response would be two words and then the $400 clue was called third and Marcus only gave a one word answer. I know it's easy to forget things in the heat of the moment but I'm still kind of surprised that the 'two word response needed' was forgotten so quickly.

After a little googling I found this: First this site: https://www.eatyourbooks.com/blog/2024/10/26/the-great-british-bake-off-baking-show-week-5-pastry-2024 says: I didn’t hear them say anything about tzatziki but the GBBO site includes tzatziki with the spanakopita recipe and the bakers had little bowls of what I assume to be tzatziki next to their bakes. So then I looked at the GBBO site: https://thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/recipes/all/paul-hollywoods-spanakopita/ and it does have a tzatziki recipe with the spanakopita. Of course this is the whole recipe and not the abridged version they give to the bakers but I'm inclined to believe they were told to make some and for some reason they edited it all out.

Not too sure about this, if it was provided why not just have a one bowl at the judges table for their use, why have individual bowls? I don't think they've ever been just provided with a side element like that.

Did anyone see what Dylan's hat said? Just when they were going for a frontal shot it disappeared. Was it a copyright issue?
