I chose Take Me Out as one of the show i saw during my NYC trip in March for very shallow reasons, so I'm glad it's at least won Best Revival of a Play so i can now tell people how I had the foresight to choose this now award winning production. Company though....i have been so tempted to go to NYC again to see this sensational production. I can't believe Katrina Lenk was not nominated this year.

Season 16 premieres this fall on CBC.

Lovely interview with Mattea Roach on CBC's The National tonight. (video will start at Mattea's segment)

To be fair, nasi lemak is a Malay dish, and not Chinese dish ( I think he mentioned before his mother is from Malaysia?) The sambal should have some kick to it. Did he mention whether he cooked the rice with coconut milk? I don't recall him mentioning it and that is a major component of the dish. And now, I need to find some nasi lemak....it speaks to Buddha the same way it speaks to me. :)

I would say summer.

Somewhat OT, but for those in the Toronto area and vicinity, Jake Epstein's one man show 'Boy Falls from the Sky' will be on stage starting tomorrow. I recalled some of y'all lusting over him in his multiple holiday movies last year,..looks like this might be a good time? https://www.mirvish.com/shows/boy-falls-from-the-sky

Everytime Hai complains about that tribal council, l am annoyed again that Lydia was saved and still there. So he should just quit whining about that.

Try it on me!

Billie Eilish and Finneas remained the most overrated people out there right now.

I wanted Raquel and Cayla to win, and I realized that on the first hour when they were neck and neck going to the pit stop. They nearly had it in the final leg! But no shade to Penn and Kim who is a lovely couple and ran a great race from start to finish. It's more that I think if I ever spend any amount of time with Penn, he will annoy the ever living fuck out of me. I really wanted him to leave after the 3 pre-covid legs, but he sort of grew on my towards the end, although that part of Penn that I disliked came out every once in a while during the back half of the race. The previouslys in the beginning with the montage in which Phil only eliminated three teams during race shows what a strange race this has been. I am glad it's here and done safely for all, but was kind of bored in the middle. Europe has always been my least favourite continent for the Amazing Race, so having it completely there, while understandable, gave it a very low key and low energy feel.

I wonder whether everything was changed because they are now filming in the US and not Australia. The band were probably all Australians in the last season.

I, for one, am thrilled. I get to savour the show over a longer period of time and don't need to watch it all over a weekend. Those who like to binge can still wait until everything is dropped before starting to watch it. I blame Netflix for this drop all episodes at once madness and I'm glad other steamers are now dropping episodes in a much more reasonable way. Yes i know it's about keeping subscribers longer but I'm still happy.

Feeds delayed until Friday.

I love Sue Ann, and i love Rose Nylund, but i feel the urge to watch Password, Pyramid and Match Game episodes that feature Betty. The wit and brilliance of Betty White in game shows are truly unparalleled.

I know people love their binge watching, but I'm glad this will be released two episodes a week over four weeks. More time to savour each episode and I don't feel like i have to marathon through the whole season in one weekend.

Here are the two moments:

I love when TJ Osborne kissed his boyfriend after he won, and that speech he gave at the beginning of their performance. It took long enough and it's still things I never thought I would see in a Country Music show.

I think that was the year of Glee vs. Modern Family (season 1 for both series)

In my opinion, 7 times Emmy winning Ed Asner should have gotten the final slot.

He was the second host after Dean McDermott.

Probably because it is not produced by Food Network US. It is a Food Network Canada original that the US station probably purchased to fill airtime and aren't as invested in it as their originals. Brad Smith. Former football player for the Canadian Football League (that nobody here cares about except for Saskatchewan), former Bachelor Canada and former host of Chopped Canada.

Loved every minute of Come From Away on AppleTV+. It was shot so beautifully and really captured the show perfectly. Not a fan of them editing out the 'fucks', but I ugly cried as much from watching on screen as I had when I saw the show live.

Really, America? You give Derek F 100? Britini, as much as I cannot deal with her, I can see with her always a pawn, recent veto performance (even though she need to STOP SHOUTING!!). But Derek F? That useless person who has done nothing of substance at all in this game? Really?

Wasn't last year a live move in? They had to enter and play that maze game where the women had to roll their balls all the way to the end and the men's just goes to the middle of the maze. Then they played that stupid pedestal game where some of them wobbles and Cody could see which one wobbles and wins HOH and the whole season is ruined before the first episode ends. I believe that was all live.

I usually find it easiest to watch it on YouTube.
