Yeah, the mom can just google it, but why does the mom not automatically know that crustaceans don't have hair?

It was her reaction of "this guy did not just tell me to beg."

I'm not getting a murderer vibe here, but I don't feel comfortable that I walked in on their pre-threesome.

I did. Allison gave her the weakest relative-I-have-to-hug hug I've ever seen on the show. I'd been put off by how she'd always tell Noel how much she didn't like him, because it seemed sincere and not jokey. So when she was eliminated it made me wonder if she was actually as snotty as she came off on the show.

I don't know how any of that works either, but I wonder if Michelin-starred restaurants typically hire people who haven't been to culinary school. Has Dylan? I assume not, because I would have thought they wouldn't take culinary school grads on the show. My thinking was also that he made connections on the show.

Alison was saying how she was the first finalist from Wales. (So yes, first winner.)

The version with Two Truths and a Lie confuses me (or one of them? I think there might be more than one of those). The guy says that he has a secret twin, that Geico does something great, and that he can compel trees to bear fruit. Then he says that he made up the twin. So he can make trees bear fruit? Is that just a fancy way of saying he has a green thumb?

Yeah, when they were giving the instructions, I was like, "So a croquembouche?" But once I saw what people were doing, and Georgie said that hers was going to be like a croquembouche, I realized it was more like, "Build something with profiteroles."

I've always thought the worst things were things like grand pianos. What a hassle.

What was also weird was that they did include a shot of Paul pointing at someone's tzatziki, although the audio was him talking about the spanakopita.

I loved that it came after Noel saying she says such mean things but it sounds so pleasant with her accent. I was thinking the same thing. Didn't Rahul or somebody have a bowl explode and they gave them more time?

I think it was "How does Fanny taste?"

I'm American, and I got it. I don't have anything to say about it, though.

I still think of that promo every time I hear that song. They also used it in their commercial bumpers.

She said that her parents liked the taste (I assumed they sampled what she practiced), so she was going to trust them even though she didn't like it. And it paid off. What I'm curious about is why she tried it in the first place if she doesn't like the taste.

There was an ad in my area recently that said something similar about a musical act that was coming to town, although I can't remember who it was. I always wondered why they didn't just say that you could come see the people. But since apparently this is a thing, I wonder if it's to reassure people who don't want to fork out money to see an older act play only new stuff that they'll be able to hear the songs they know and love.

I think that "vegan chicken" is fine. It indicates that it's approximating chicken while not being some other meat product made to seem like chicken. "Imitation chicken" could still be meat, the way "imitation crab" is some fish.

Not in the Netherlands, apparently, which is I think the point they were trying to make. (Not saying I agree with the Netherlands's laws.)

My great aunt lived in place that wasn't assisted living, more like a step down from that. One night she woke up to someone standing over her bed and it scared the crap out of her. She had knocked the phone off the hook in the middle of the night, and if someone's phone was off the hook for a certain amount of time, they'd send a nurse to check on them, so it was a nurse, not an axe murderer.

It occurs to me that the "avoiding interstates" part may have also tripped the person up. If someone asked me how to get to a neighboring state without taking the highway, my next question would be what city they were going to, because it's a very different answer depending on their ultimate destination. So maybe the person just assumed New York City? But that still doesn't explain the "no state" thing. Was it a way of saying that no one ever cares about the rest of the state, not that there's literally no New York state?

@Anduin I think you're talking about the Green Glove Gang. It's on Netflix, if you're looking for it, and the second season just dropped.

I can understand where people are getting "me and my husband," but I don't understand how something like "myself and my husband are going on vacation" sounds correct to anyone's ear. I want to know who this "we" was that she was talking about. It was probably just her. I can see how guests might mostly only ever be asking about New York City and not the rest of the state, so it might not occur to her that someone might be asking about the state. But saying that there is no state doesn't make any sense.

I like how they could only come up with three slow animals.

But that's why I said "reachable" windows, although it looks like you quoted before I was done editing. I wouldn't expect them to do every layer. Just the pane that's getting the fingerprints on it.

I must have grown up in squalor or something because the window cleaning descriptions I've seen in here are intense. I've never heard of someone removing blinds to clean a window. Like, use some windex on the reachable windows and call it a day. I'm surprised to learn it's not common for cleaning services to do that. Are they not cleaning the mirrors, either, because it's the exact same thing. And they won't dust your blinds, either? Like with a feather duster type thing?
