Good point that might be why “Rebecca” last so long. She wasn’t an insta model, she was a real person. She was beautiful but not in a fake too polished way. Karen (my fav) was the worst wirh this - too perfect and then even more filtered.

I am convinced it is because a much of major magazines pointed out that it was online. I googled and I saw it was mentioned in Oprah’s magazine, and a couple of others and like the next day it notes they took them down. I think Karen should have been herself (I loved her), but I don’t think you can compare the women to Shooby. I think women who aren’t “traditionally” attractive are judged much harsher than men. Think of all of those 90s/early 2000s sitcoms with shlubby husbands and hot wives, so I don’t blame Karen and the new woman (whose name I am sorry I don’t remember!) chose to use other photos.

I am on last Troy episode this am. It moved to Acorn - I never use other people’s accounts, but Acorn was just something I was not adding so I am using my mom’s account.

I liked all 3 of the finalists, but my favorite part of the episode was the part I usually hate the family part, but like people said when Rahul’s friend said that his life was richer with him and I loved when Kim Joy’s partner was testing the bake and gave her a Paul Hollywood handshake. i also agree that I dislike the “impossible” challenges - too little time, tricky themes, but I do love the technicals. Was it in Canada that someone was saying a few seasons ago they cut that part in their airing? I would not have been happy.

I work with events and we use a lot of rental - chair, tables, flatware, plates. They just drop them. Our facilities people put the chairs and tables out and our caters move the crates with the plates, etc.

The one thing I wonder is, since turquoise team was last, of course they would have the longest back up. I feel like at judges table they were implying they all had big FOH issue, but editing really just showed team turquoise. I wonder if like they Orange team who went first eventually got backed up too? It really seems like going last in general is a bad position (judges already ate 12 plates of food)

I wrote this in a Top Chef thread - I liked that the limitation was just the time and ingredient and that creates the drama. I liked that besides something like needing to use a paella pan, they really didn’t have weird limitation. Cook with no knives! Use only food from a 7-11! Only have a toaster oven! That stuff is the stuff I can’t stand. The host bugged me and it took me to realize he was from the next iron chef (where he also amnoyed me). Didn’t recognize him with the short hair.

I agree with all of you who hated the overly complicated challenges. Maybe it is because I watched a ton of GBBO and just finished The final table (which has its own issues), but I like to see the cooking and I feel like the time constraint and ingredient constraints are enough. However many of them cooking dessert (which they usually all complain about in a “home” kitchen was annoying.

I am just sick of reading the posts on twitter that keep comparing Kaycee’s game to Josh’s. To me, that was a very different type of game where he just followed Paul all season. Kaycee might have been part of an alliance but she was a total comp beast - she didn’t win because other people threw comps she went out and killed it. I am not saying Tyler wasn’t deserving, but she played a strong comp game once she had to AND a good social game.

To me that is the biggest problem - you bring in Hillary Swank, Brendan Frasier, and Donald Surtherland and they barely use them. I was interested at first because of the great casting - this is true crime there is no suspense - if you dont know the outcome it takes 2 mins to google how it ends. I came for the performances.

Ha season 6 lizard people. I had stopped after 5 and then watched six this summer when I heard this would be the last season. There was no point to that season and I still don’t get what those “lizard people” were doing/how they really thought that blowing up cities plan would work.

The obvious solution to this problem was to remove the baby sac like Dina wanted and give to Amy ;) that would solve the America’s actual pregnancy issue! Garrett, Cheyenne, Matteo and Sandra are my favorites in every episodes and I think they each get used just enough that they aren’t annoying with their quirks.

I am sad about Dusty too. She really didn’t stand out for me at first but her story last week broke my heart a little and I wanted her to last a little longer.

Reform is older than conservative - I believe late 1800s, early 1900s and it would make sense for this group - at least Midge's family. It was either in this episode or the one before, where Moishe even remarks that Abe is a non-believer. I think they kind of show that Joel is from old school/traditional -- garmet district, vs. Abe who is a professor of math at Columbia (which wasn't always an option for someone Jewish -even though traditionally Columbia was pretty welcoming to Jewish people compared to some of the other older Ivies.) Joel's mom with the chicken soup, also more old school. The YK stuff confused me too, especially the timeline. Was it Kol Nidre the pilot episode? I grew up and still belong to a consevative syngagoue so I go on Kol Nidre and the next day, but even my most reform friends go to Kol Nidre (and then maybe Yizkor the next day if they have lost a parents or sib or spouse) -- more than take off for RH and up there with Passover seders in terms of most people observing it. And agree with who ever said the garment factory would be closed. Back then the whole business was Jewish, there would have been nobody to even do businsess with because most places would have closed back then.

It's so weird. I didn't like Viv when she was in most of the episodes the first season, but I was glad to have her back. I thought her and Oliver competing for the inheritance was a fun plot. And as soon as I saw that the "pig whisperer" was hot, I knew where that was going.

I watched last night and couldn't stop itching after and now reading the thread I'm itching again. The part with Anna Kat at the end was my favorite, but I did like how she and Taylor came to an understanding. I know Oliver is the worst, but I find him hilarious and I knew where he was going as soon as we had the scene with George Hamilton talking about having no family. Is he supposed to reoccur the rest of the season?

I thought John Early as the brunch guy was great voice casting and I love the Fischoeders so much.

OMG, that is the best idea I have heard.

This was my first season of Survivor. I watched it for two reason - it is supposedly the best season and 2. I am huge big brother fan and I kept hearing this season that Paul (spoiler for the B.B. part) So I needed to see exactly what that meant and let me tell you - yep pretty good comparison! Since this is on Hulu I feel like need to catch up and binge watch the next 14 seasons :)

Jessica and Cody definitely benefited from how annoying others in the house became. I have a friend I text with and I was away from June 25th until after July 4th. So I watched the first couple of episodes and then skipped a bunch because I figured i would catch up with just the new ones after a while (since in 2 week you miss 6 episodes and I was never going to be back on scheduled at that rate). But the first few episodes I watched I hated Cody -- he only wanted to be an alliance with other cool/hot people. He was so mean and just said to people I put you up because I don't like you, etc. I was texting her, I hate him and I hope he leaves. By the time he came back from the battleback and I was all team Jody. I still don't like them, but I'll take them over Matt/Raven any day of the week or Paul/Christmas. In fact the first few episodes I was super into Alex. I thought she was a strong player and appeared to have good strategy. I think that is why I was so disappointed when it turned out my opinion on that was very wrong. Also, I really can't stand Paul and just his speaking voice -- it might be irrational, but that is also why I gave up in the middle of last season so I am definitely biased (but isn't that half the fun of watching BB?)

Okay I am late to this. I had stopped mid season 5 and caught up this week since I figure I will watch the last season. There was something all of season 6 said and I feel like I missed something. Every scene where the Vargas win is shown the news reporter says something like after a huge set back he won. They never tell you what caused the setback but because it was shown so many times in those first half episodes I really keep thinking it would show up again because otherwise why not just say it was close and he won. Does anyone have any insight on this?

I think he might not see him again, but he is having Mike dup him for them because he promised them and real Cooper keeps his word. Also, I would watch a spin off with the Mitchum Brothers. They were so thrilled to have hearts of gold! I felt so emotional when Cooper came back and the old score was playing and again during Audrey's dance. So speculating - is all the roadhouse in Audrey's mind. Did we see the fight that we saw to the side before? Was that the James fight from the other week or a different fight?

Yep and right after decided the idea of dating his young assistant was a good one and asked Beverly to dinner. Did you also notice the line wher Bellushi was like if we fire her she has no where to go...such a weird thing for casino gangsters to care about so that made me curious.

Also Nadine's Silent Drape runner store for the win!

I think everyone else was watching GofT. When Gordon saw Laura in the doorway I couldn't handle it. Richard Horne is the worst (he already was but he keeps doubling down). I had just rewatched the first episode of this series (I just finished the secret history of twin peaks and I was wondering if I noticed anything new to me) and in that episode when they show Margaret it breaks my hear a little. She is so excellent in that role and her loss is sad.
