S05.E03: Pastry and Cookie Week
ZenMoonPi replied to PrincessPurrsALot's topic in The Great American Baking Show
I'm this far in the series and think it's odd but watchable. One question does come up: Is Sherry Yard able to chew with her mouth closed? Worse, someone in production evidently hates her because she is shown talking with mouths full of food, chewing like a cow, and there are times when we can hear her chomping and smacking. Gross. This is hopefully the last time I run across this heffa. -
Wait. What? Really? Good Omens was my favorite romantic story the year it came out. More couply stuff in GO2 and 3? Yes, please!

They most likely were. Olduvai Gorge | archaeological site, Tanzania | Britannica

Seconding your guess. The straw(?) palm(?) hat was the tell. Aldean usually wears a straw hat or a trucker's cap and he's from Macon, Georgia.

Baking Impossible - General Discussion
ZenMoonPi replied to NotChristine's topic in Baking Impossible
Dr. Oluyesi's autoiography, A Quantum Life, is a great read. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him after learning his backstory. Joanne seems like she'd be a better judge for higher level baking pros. Andrew and Justin are fun to watch. I read somewhere that Andrew is involved with the skeptic community. For the most part, I loved the camaraderie between the contestants and how the teams eventually went from keeping to their lanes to contributing to all aspects of their projects. About Steve and Renee. He just seems very introverted and low key. He probably is one of those people with a quiet, wicked wit that may or may not land with some people. Poor Renee. Not everyone is cut out for television and timed competition shows can be brutal. If she works for the education arm of JPL, they may be pushing her to be a spokes-personality-critter. The way she talked during their exit, I got the impression she and Steve came to like each other, but she was very ready to get back to the lab. There was only one person I did not enjoy: Brandi. She was loud, obnoxious, and I'm sorry, but every person from Kentucky watching had to cringe at her bawling belle speech. She reminded me of every theatre/cheer/dance/karate mom who has to make everything about herself. What really got to me was her insistence on taking credit for anything that worked well. Whenever anyone complimented the actual engineering. she'd pipe up and bark out a "Thahnk yew!" before Manuka could respond. I noticed Dr. Oluyesi started addressing Manuka by name every time he talked about the mechanics of their projects. Toward the end, Manuka told a cute story about his uncle's jeep. Joanne asked him if that was how he got interested in engineering. Before he could answer, Brandi bellowed, "YES!" Oh, my goodness. Shut up, you jackass. You're embarrassing us. I was happy to see who won. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed both teams' designs, it was obvious the winning team's bridge was built better. However, the results of the final stress test came as no surprise with the team that came in second place. I think they could have stood on it themselves and it wouldn't have budged. Th winning team's weight test had me holding my beath. Both designs were so reflective of their styles. If both had passed all three tests, I wonder if it would have ended with a tie. -
Social Media: What's Up With Her?

Are you from Kentucky? I was so happy to see Kroger selling it south of the border! -
Thanks! Cn't believe I glossed over that teeny detail!

Just finished that season. Catherine got worse as the series went on. It felt like she was encouraged to be a character instead of herself. Sad to say, I went from rooting for her to being relieved when she was eliminated.

Did they stop filming at episode five? There hasn't been a new one on Hulu in weeks.

Loved Newsradio and Kids in the Hall. Still, I didn't recognize Foley until he spoke.
-
Remember this is someone who demanded Luke leave his wife or her. She's always been a cold bitch who wants what she wants.
-
Maybe he did it to drive home that they were not friends.

My first thought in that scene after Esther was such a bitch to Eyepatch was that she was scrambling for some way to ingratiate herself to June. I spent a chunk of my adulthood working with kids like her. (Yes, it happens more than you realise. Then again, I already live in Gilead.) They may very well have been assaulted. There is usually proof it happened What isn't always acknowledged is how the idea of the truth gets warped when these young people are gaslit, exploited, and removed into their own world of being identified as flesh to be bartered. It wouldn't surprise me if she wasn't entirely truthful. She's been on her own and had to fight down shame and degradation to survive.

I am so loving this show! My three favorite episodes are: 3. Pippin 2. Godspell 1. Anything Goes Did anyone else cheer when Adam and Coy walked out to introduce themselves to the cast?
