I love and admire Tina so much, both as a person and for her music. I couldn’t help but feel a little bad that this documentary exists at all. She kept saying over and over and over that she didn’t want to talk about her past and here we are asking her about her past again. 😢
I am so grateful she found true love and was able to receive some of her flowers now.

I like cooking competition shows and I know and like many of the contestants, and I know I’m not the first to have this opinion, but oooh boy is Guy over the top annoying. He screams EVERYTHING and is constantly at an 11 and now his voice is hoarse. Guy, you have a mic. Please take it down a notch.
And I’m also annoyed with all the acronyms and nicknames. I feel like I need a guide to keep up:
- Triple G
- TOC
- ICAG
- Chef Shenanigans
- Princess Warrior
- Ninja
He’s almost making the show unwatchable for me. Less Guy and more chefs/cooking/commentary please!

That was cringe worthy and made me consider quitting the show. My 6-year-old niece would have gotten yield sign, spelling respect, Uptown Funk and the pizza question. I thought I was being punked! May have to abandon and stick with Jeopardy. It’s bad enough when they suck at banking money, but this was legit awful and not fun to watch.

Devi’s a sophomore, and Paxton’s a junior, right?
The actors are 18 and 29. I agree the actor playing Paxton looks much older (I feel terrible saying this but the lines under his eyes made me think of him as much older than her as well)

It’s possible it’s because it’s been a long, emotional/stressful week, but stupid Top Chef made me tear up about three times. From the Floyd tribute at the beginning, to the heartfelt responses of some of the chef/owners at the restaurants, to Kevin’s story and reaction. I was a hot mess. 😭
That said, I’m so grateful this show is back. It’s just what I need right now.

The final bonus round was indeed painful to watch. Ugh.
I would have preferred they cut the stupid singing when coming back from commercials in favor of telling us which answers were left out of the cup pong game. (I suspected Ellen Degeneres would be in top 20 for twitter followers and was shouting Facebook, YouTube, Twitter for top 20 websites. I realize I could look them up but still)
At least we avoided Jane singing which is my absolute least favorite part of these shows.

In general, I agree that we don’t need so many reaction shots of the judges, but I confess that Mayim’s reactions made me smile. She seemed so genuinely into it and having fun, it was infectious. And while some jokes are fine and keep the show light, I also generally prefer the “really playing the game” questions.
I also had to smile when the fighter guy came out with his basket of crocheted goodies, including headbands.

MILA LICKED A STEAK.
I had seen this story in my twitter feed before I watched the episode this evening so I was on the lookout. I rewound and played in slow mo. She. Licked. A. Steak.
With her tongue. After being sick. I cannot.

I was excited to hear this show was coming back since I did like the original version. Now I’m struggling to make it through the 30 episodes. The food looks gross, she barks at her husband and staff, repeats the same things ad nauseum. I cannot listen to her “I chop onions differently” bit one more time. Or that her mother doesn’t like an herb. She is infinitely more annoying than I remember. How many rotisserie chickens has she used? “LBS” “sexy beast” “ridge” Being excited over setting off the smoke alarm. “Tee hee I’m so short, isn’t that funny?”
I am annoyed by oh so many things
I’m going to do my best to finish this run of episodes because I’m not a quitter, but I will be glad when I don’t have this homework sitting on my DVR anymore.

Was the fake cancer doctor Michael Novotny from Queer as Folk? Can't remember his real name because I couldn't stand that character.
Hal Sparks, yep!

Definitely something I've seen on another show, but for the life of me I can't recall which. I don't think it was a medical drama - maybe something along the lines of CSI or Elementary?
Do you watch The Resident? It reminded me of a storyline on that show where they are suggesting a Doctor is over-treating patients w chemo, hiding medical records, etc.

Well I think this is the first time I ever cried during EHG! RIP Mr. Hooper.

My Comcast just notified me that they are adding the Universal Kids channel BACK, but the only upcoming episode that is airing that I can see is a repeat of the Un-Bee-Lievable episode. I hope we’ll get to see the end of this series at some point! I’ve already been deprived of the Great American Baking Show ending!

I also thought the Carmen "injury" was out of left field.
I can't wait until Melissa leaves. She is so over the top and camera hungry. Please leave my TV!!

@Athena Thank you for the recommendations! Downloading now!

I feel like I'm committing adultery, but I actually listen to both ATK and Milk Street. I'm obsessed with podcasts and love food podcasts. (other food ones I listen to: the Sporkful, Foodstuff, Gastropod, The Splendid Table, Prince Street, and Bite). They're a nice distraction from all the politics podcasts!

There have been a few episodes since November, but none for a few weeks now. Does anyone have news about it?
A "new" episode appeared in my feed today - but the intro just said the ATK Radio was taking a hiatus and then they played an episode of "The Splendid Table"

Ha anyone seen the Sticky Bun episode yet? When Bridget and Julia were eating them at the end and then kind of got the giggles, it seemed the most real I've ever seen them. I like them both, but do feel a certain level of phoniness from them. (Maybe the phony comes from pretending to teach someone who already knows). But the end segment was so out of character and real, it made me seek out this board and post. Curious as to other thoughts.

I love TJ Miller on Silicon Valley and was looking to his performance here. Was sorely disappointed. I'm not sure he lip synced a single word on the second song? Boo!

Sorry if this is lazy of me to ask, but is there a list somewhere of the crime shows mentioned in the podcast? Especially the "people should watch these" list - I was listening in the car and couldn't write them down. I can relisten if it's a pain to compile, but wasn't sure if the list already existed somewhere that I was missing?

I thought I had read that Chris would continue to be the host of the ATK radio podcast, but the most recent episode has Bridget as host and so far no mention of Chris (I haven't finished yet). Guessing the lawsuit had an effect on that as well. Yikes.

Deion was the worst. Did he know this was not charades? And he seemed to do some kind of "dealing cards" mime for half his clues.
My DVR cut off halfway through the winner's circle with Rosie. Did they win?

I’ve had a bad taste in my mouth about Cliff ever since his assault of Marcel, but admit I am warming to him a bit. At a minimum, as a contestant I would much prefer to be on his team since he has a bit more of a low key vibe. Anne just yells. So. Much. Makes people who are already stressed out even more stressed.
The drag queens are a lot, but I also love them—esp Peachez.
I do wish the show was 1h instead of 1h30
