The Great Pottery Throw Down - General Discussion
jpgr replied to saoirse's topic in The Great Pottery Throw Down
Steven is also an art teacher, so Donna is not the only one with an edge on that front. She got a degree in ceramics but has said she didn't touch clay for 20 years while raising kids so yes, she has the knowledge but she still needs (and has) the skills to build things well. I still like her, but it does seem a bit of a foregone conclusion with her winning so many challenges. -

I may have to go back and check, but I believe he has also called the men "Lovey." My dentist used to call me (and other women patients) "sweetie" and it really bugged me, to the point where if I didn't adore my hygienist I might have found another dentist. I mentioned it in a post-appointment survey and I must not have been the only one because he stopped doing it. -

Agree about Donna and Jan - I have loved all of their pieces. I also feel the same about Shani, she was hard to watch. My mom had dementia, and I was a bit worried about the "Lovey" for that reason, but when he and Rich are discussing everyone's makes, he has no trouble recalling names and details so I'm just not sure why he keeps up with "Lovey" in the pottery. -

Keith calling everyone "Lovey" this season is driving me up a wall. That is all. -
I agree 100% with this. I really haven't been able to warm to Cristy and I'm not really sure why.

The Great Australian Bake Off - General Discussion

I guess I'm in the minority because I don't mind the judges or hosts. I did see one season with the other judges and they were better, but these two are OK. The hosts' humor is better than most of what Noel and Matt came up with, and I know it helps ease the tension in the shed. I'm happy with all of the final 3 and can't wait to see what they all make in the finale. -
On the one hand I understand that, but on the other hand I was so annoyed when Paul went to help Carly finish (and she didn't want him to, she said she wanted to finish with dignity getting it done herself).

*Dancing a little jig* Not off my screen, but out of the running.

I already didn't like Paul, but going over to "help" Carly finish the job was the ultimate arrogant prick move. Would he have done the same if his rival was a man? I sincerely doubt it.

I was so hoping Paul would have to punch out and shut his smug mouth....

Same here - I majored in French but started learning Russian my junior year and my brain went Russian -> French -> English and back. I'm happy with the finalists, and glad that Sara won that challenge with her soup. Can't wait for the finale!

No, it was Charbel who won the first elimination challenge with the onion dish.
