While it may look like it’s simply a person in a costume like Barney, Big Bird is, in fact, a puppet. While the performer is inside the costume, he still requires puppetry to work (it’s pretty ingenious how they do it…all the credit in the world to performers like Carol Spinney, because it is not an easy task!)

I don't understand all the Beatrice hate. She clearly is having a ball competing and is excited to be on the show. She has back to back wins - I don't think it's arrogance for her to acknowledge that she is very good at what she does, especially since she's proven to have the skills to back her up. She's only 18, and she is showing she has cooking abilities on par with or better than people twice her age. I'm honestly surprised so many people seem to dislike her.

That one triad of guys - Tyler, Jake, and the third one with glasses (is it Joe?) are insufferable. What kills me is they’re 2/3 correct but for the wrong reasons. And the ridiculousness of their Kas reasoning “he’s a doctor! Saving lives by day, killing at night!” is bonkers. They do remember that Claudia chose the traitors, yes? lol I feel bad for Kas, it’s tough when you’re constantly being hammered at and regardless of how he tries to defend himself, they aren’t going to be deterred.

Since HBO seems to have no plans to continue airing seasons, is there any way for those of us in the US to catch up/watch elsewhere? We've been in Pottery withdrawal.

Mike Rinder has passed away at age 69.

If I live the rest of my life never hearing Gene Simmons utter the word “gyrations” again, I’ll be happy. *shudder*

His reaction when he saw her during the initial “reveal” was also the most muted I’ve seen from someone since I started watching this show. I feel bad for him being stuck having to make the most out of this.

Treat was included in the In Memoriam at the Emmys 2023 ceremony in January.

Yeah, there was a massive eyeroll in my house when that was read off. Hud and Mackenzie basically handed him the win. No one to blame but themselves for forgoing their initial plan to get him out and instead freaking out on each other.

Terry Pratchett is my favorite author, and I highly recommend the Discworld series. Do you know what book you plan to start with? (Forgive me if this has been discussed before). Terry’s books don’t necessarily need to be read in chronological order, but rather you also have the ability to read them by character track (witches, wizards, Death, Night Watch, etc). His website has a good primer either way you choose: https://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/discworld-reading-order/ I’m very excited for your ability to experience him for the first time. He was a funny and brilliant author and we lost him far too soon.

The Silent Patient raves utterly enrage me because the entire book had plot holes, but the ending in particular made *zero* sense. The praise of that book for me is the definition of "the Emperor has no clothes".

I hope that Bob the Drag Queen lasts longer than Peppermint did. I loved their season of Drag Race.

Renewed - for TWO seasons!

My father also died suddenly of a heart attack, and I made the mistake of watching this episode before bed last night. Oof. The actors absolutely nailed it.

Am I missing something here? At no point did I feel they accused Dan of being a child predator. They absolutely said there were jokes done on the show that were clearly sexual in nature and were inappropriate (which...yes), but no one I can recall said anything about Dan facilitiating sexual abuse by Brian Peck or the other guy - at least any more than any other exec who let them get work afterwards. I mean they even left in Drake's lines (which he repeated in the fifth bonus episode) on how Dan was the only one to reach out to him from the network after his abuse to see how he was or if he could help in any way. He's a creep, but not *that* particular brand of creep. Just seems like he's trying to lash out now...I don't see how this suit holds up though.
