I support this and stand with you.

If the first contestant eliminated made it all the way through LCK and got back into the show, then they would have only competed in one quick fire and one elimination challenge prior to coming back in. So he's not missing 5 weeks of competition, he's only missing one. I understand feeling like he's a ringer which he might be. However, the person coming in isn't going to have participated in 5 elminations and 5 quick fires, unless the person that comes back in is the one most recently eliminated.

I don't care about David or why he's not there. I'm just thrilled he's the fuck off my TV. I'm pretty excited about Soo. Valentine was totally out of his league on the show. He seems like a good chef, and a nice guy even though he has this perpetually confused/shocked look on his face, but the time/ingredient constraints are not a format where he was going to shine. Kenny's egg pizza looked revolting, and I really like Limburger. I thought Soo's eggplant looked so amazing that I ordered eggplant parm for dinner last night. Too bad it didn't have that sharpness Limburger would have given it. I think Soo's real advantage is that he isn't coming off an exhausting QF and EC challenge and being thrown into something else, but that's always an advantage for the incumbent on LCK.

I finished the season and loved it. I liked Arthur’s personality so much, but he was clearly cannon fodder. His had no where near the skill of the other artists. I also enjoyed him staying over, “I’m going to just ignore the brief and do my think and I should stay because I am the best” guy who made the smoke/skid mark. I loved both final installations, but one was clearly more modern and moving the medium forward.

Loved seeing JP!

Oh, I get what he is supposed to be. I just find the character poorly done and harmless. The actor brings no fun to the role. He's dreary.

Too much jazz/bone breaking/contemporary/ballroom/swing/belly dance fusion. They get 30 seconds to dance and 4 minutes to talk.

I’d like to see more dancers and less talk. I can’t wait for the choreography round.

Dom is like overcooked spaghetti to me. He can go at any time.

LV should be shamed for eternity for the poorly sewn zipper in Emma Stone’s dress. I wanted a Lily Gladstone win. I am beginning to despise hosts knocking the honorees. People loved the 5 presenters system for the acting awards for a reason: they were beautiful tributes to the nominees. Much of the Oscars is a bunch of super pretty rich people patting themselves on the back. We get it. How about lean into it and talk about the good rather than the host ripping on people for 15 minutes? It’s a waste of time that could be used for the technical and behind the scenes award winners to give speeches. They’ve earned their moments.

Discussion of book differences. I love Charlotte Rampling and she had me even behind that veil. Rebecca Ferguson was excellent. Love her! Zendaya‘s best scenes were with Josh Brolin. Not an Austin Butler fan after Elvis, but he was a revelation in this. He completely steered into the freaky and owned. I can see a supporting actor nomination for him. Those scenes on on Giedi Prime were amazing. This film was an achievement.

I hope they did it to pair Gloria with Dom and free up Jean for Caron.

It's not Florence. *sigh* The UK is an episode ahead.

SunsetChaser is Florence, right? She’s in witness protection but found a way to reach Neville.

I love Idris but he was not good. Hosting these shows is a terrible job. It would be nice if they got someone who agreed to just be a boring complimentary host, not someone trying to be funny. Tan France is annoying af. He can get off my screen. I felt like the camera crew/director of the broadcast had never done an awards show before.

My hatred of TCitR knows few boundaries. What a piece of crap. I loved Love Story but never thought it was great writing.

I thoroughly enjoyed this first episode. However, it was jarring to go from Commissioner Patterson floating in the water, blood spill out, to the super cheery theme song.

I had no idea! I loved FC! Thank you.

We share a first! I was five and wore my Terry Bradshaw jersey (with my pigtails) to my first day of kindergarten fall of 1976. I grew up in Ohio.

Well, the exciting ending made up for a shit first half. I feel bad for the Niners.

I have reached the Mute The TV portion of my evening.

Eta I’m wrong.

Gut punch series, right there. I don’t know what Reid said at halftime, but it was the wrong thing. @Bastet I’ll forget :) But thank you. I’m just hungry. It’s time to start drinking for me.

Yeah…that was nice…
