Well, you know, he "just came back from Mexico."

Even though you can see more gray, I think he looks younger on the right. Maybe it's because you can see more of his eyes in that picture.

I just watched that whole thing and didn't notice anyone in a pool.

I'm not the person who brought it up, but I would say "when you can't pay to get it fixed." So "when you can't pay for it(1) to get it(2) fixed" sounds like it(1) is going to get it(2) fixed. For me "when you can't pay for your car to get your car fixed" isn't possible, but you could say "when you can't pay for your sister to get her car fixed." My husband was never in the military, nor has he ever been within hundreds of miles of Camp Lejeune, but he gets emails about it.

I think that's what the commercial in general is about, but I think the person I was responding to was referring specifically to the doctor looking like they were going to kill the wolf.

This is not major, but, the song Bust a Move goes: Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry In five days from now he's gonna marry He's hopin' you can make it there if you can 'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man For decades I wondered why the guy would be his friend's brother's best man. Is Larry not also his friend? Why did Larry choose his brother's friend to be his best man over the brother? I always thought the whole thing was nonsensical. Then sometime within the past couple years I realized that he's going to be Harry's best man, and Larry was just mentioned for the rhymes and the additional syllables. But I still think it's dumb because it's confusing. (Sidenote: I also hate the way he pronounces "materialistic" in that song.)

I think that's what they were going for. Your doctor (or nurse or pharmacy person) gives you the vaccine and your immune system hunts the virus down and kills it.

Same. I thought she told a story about being in a craft store or a yarn store or something?

I've worked in customer service for several years, and it never ceases to amaze me how ignorant many people are of how banking/credit cards work. Ads like these certainly don't help. I really don't know why they don't teach this stuff in school. I read a tweet or something once that said he looks like what Beetlejuice must have looked like when he was alive and I've never seen a more accurate description of anything.

Who is the friend?

I thought it sounded good. I think she should have used creamed corn or pureed her corn, though. I'm not exactly sure how well the cinnamon would go with the corn, though. I thought the two who went deserved to go, and I expected two people to go in this episode, but it would have made things more interesting later, if they had saved the extra elimination for some other week when two people messed up badly. Yeah, I think Paul said something about it. Before I watched this episode, I saw a video Pati Jinich posted showing how to make flour tortillas, and she used a rolling pin. I wondered why the bakers couldn't use one. Did they have to use the lids, I wonder? I remember once when I was a kid I was standing outside a Mexican restaurant (in Seattle) and I was mesmerized watching this old lady making tortillas. She grabbed a random hunk of dough and mushed them two or three times with the fingers of one hand against the palm of the other and they came out uniform. Not that I think the bakers would have been able to accomplish this, not having made thousands of tortillas in their lives, but I don't see why they couldn't have flattened them however they wanted. I'm not a makeup expert, but I think it's two things. She's not allowing the color to fade a bit when she draws the inward ends (makeup experts I've seen tell you not to go with the full color all the way to the end, to mimic the way actual eyebrows usually thin toward the inner ends). And she's drawing them too close together. It looks like it's past where her actual eyebrows end, too, so it's not like she's following naturally close brows. I think that that also exaggerates how harsh the inner edges are. It ends up making them look unnatural. I was noticing in this episode that they look like doll eyebrows and I couldn't look away from them. They seem really precise, though, and I don't claim to be able to do any better! I'll never forget that. I think of it sometimes when I eat churros. I agree with others who said flan would have been a good technical. It's something most of them have likely never made, but they've all probably made custard, so at least they'd be able to draw on technical knowledge.

The first time I saw that, before I realized he was supposed to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, I thought his own damn skin was coming off and was horrified.

Cactus Plant Flea Market is the company that's making the prizes in the Happy Meals. I only know that from a segment on the Today show. I haven't seen any commercials, but it sounds like that should be made clearer in the ads, since probably the whole deal is supposed to bring attention to the brand. The Today Show people also didn't know why the characters had two sets of eyes, so maybe that's something McDonalds should have told them.

I don't think it's weird for people to want to still see the movie. What happened doesn't make me want to see it any more or less. That is to say, I don't want to see it because of what happened, but I also don't not want to see it because of what happened. I only think they should change the shot they were setting up for when he fired the gun. I'm surprised that anyone involved in making it would want to proceed. (Although I realize people might not have a choice in the matter if they have contractual obligations.)

I don't really play close attention to the ads, but I doubt they do address the topic, because I don't think the companies see it as an issue. Even the websites/instruction for use are just like "rinse before washing." I mean, you treat the underwear the same way you treat your underwear/pajama bottoms/sheets when your period comes in the night and you wake up to a blood bath. Some people might prefer to do a load of just that stuff, and others might simply rinse the items and wash it with other stuff. (I rinse my underwear until the water runs clear, so it's not any dirtier than other dirty laundry. But I also wash my clothes I've leaked onto with other dirty laundry.)

Yeah, but I was talking about using it up, which means she wouldn't have had three ounces. They did an overnight challenge once that I remember. Does anyone recall what the reason was for that?

I wonder how they'd implement a sourdough challenge. Tell everyone in advance that they need to get a starter going if they don't already have one? Give them all a starter? When Syabira almost used up all her starter, I hoped it wasn't all of what she had had at home. I'd be bummed if I used up all of my starter at once and had to start over!

I'd be shocked if my friend were separating from their husband, especially if it were for Johnny Depp.

I had pizza for lunch today. It was good, but I wished I'd had that extra cheesy pizza that Paul was complaining about it. I thought that looked delicious.

Why is she called Compost Carole? Also, I'm not creative enough to use a lot of unusual flavors in my baking, but if I were on a show like this, I'd definitely spend some time researching and playing around with flavors so that my bakes wouldn't always be mundane. I just assumed that they call thicker crust pizza "American-style pizza." Like a "Canadian bacon" or "French toast" situation. I think he might have gotten flustered. I'm no big bread maker, so I don't know how typical this is, but I've made more than one bread whose dough you add melted butter to. So I think he was trying (incorrectly) to combine two basic skills. I don't even like figs, and I wanted to try that pizza! Have they ever done one where a baker was home sick and they still did an elimination? Like others, I just assumed no one would be going home at the end, so I was surprised that they were surprised (or told to act surprised). I guess the producers thought it would be uninteresting if there were no stakes? I really doubt the bakers would give up and not try if they knew they weren't risking getting eliminated.

I loved how eager Paul was to give her one! I feel like that's what they should be targeting with the technical, and I don't think they always do.

I do think it's worse if they know the other person is married. I feel like I should clarify my comment. I don't think it's worse for me/my husband/my relationship if someone hitting on my husband knows he's (monogamously) married. I think the flirter is a shittier person if they do know. But the effect is no different if they know or don't know.

I mean I wouldn't like it either, but only because I know that he will shut it down, and if they still pursue him after he shuts them down, then we're dealing with a harassment situation, not an other woman situation, and I don't want my husband to be harassed. If it's a one-and-done shoot-your-shot situation, I don't think it's worse if the person knows he's married than if they don't. Just more of a "WTF, people are crazy."

Or like when someone gives someone else an uninvited kiss, and they don't tell their partner about it and it becomes a big thing between them. I mean, that person just assaulted you. If your partner is mad at you about it, then you need to break up with them anyway.

I think that just because the other woman/man did something shitty, it doesn't mean they are to blame for an affair. It's not that person's fault the cheater can't stay faithful. I wonder if by pointing out age discrepancies, Emily Ratajowski's point isn't to infantilize, but to say that the cheaters are seeking the affair partner out, not being tempted by sirens. Some of you may be interested in the book Female Chauvinist Pigs , which addresses the sort of raunchy feminism mentioned in posts above. It's almost twenty years old, though, and I read it when it first came out, so I don't know how dated it is.
