I fear this is going to fall into the category of 52 minutes of padded minor plot forwarding, followed by 2 minutes of "something shocking" to get one to go to the next episode.
I'll give it a couple more hours. then probably give up and add the books to the list.

Could get a bit of a bump, or be dinged…historically men generally win more than women and there could be a am unconscious bias against her as for her, particularly since she’d already won.
yeah, when I brought her up, I wasn't trying to say judges would go one way or another with her, just that as far as I can recall, her Indian flavorings have been unique in the contest.

i'm not familiar with the actor playing Maximus (Aaron Moten), but he certainly has good comic timing here. 🙂

Episode 8: "And the Winner is..." Maneet Chauhan!
It was a very emotional win and I cried, too! What I did not like was the cameras staying on Antonia while she was deep in her disappointment. They lingered a bit too long and I was so glad Hunter didn't intrude upon Antonia in that moment.
it was pretty clear based on Hunter's abrupt turn around in the background that the producer whose arms Antonia fell into shewed him away. Good call.
Maneet C. is a great chef, but... I will forever look slightly askew at the judging because based on the field of chefs, even with the large group this year, it's always fairly obvious when she is cooking.

I am just endlessly delighted by the presence of David Cronenberg.
and aren't he and his hairline like 80 or something? Amazing.

I noticed Lisa did that with the word important (‘impor-ant’).
Is that a Utah accent thing?seems to be regional (and somewhat generational), notice it lately in Rocky Mountain areas. and yeah, it's annoying. :)

are we surprised Monica and her mother acted like this at the Easter party considering their behavior at the past-their-prime home the previous episode?
I was a bit shocked at the polling in the tacked-on Frat Boy episode immediately after. The majority sided with Monica??? wow. Maybe more people have sour parental dynamics issues than I imagined and blame their lives on their mothers (I know a few).

How much food did Mary get from McD's? She got a big shopping bag of it.
I just assumed the bag was for all the production crew too since Mary made them drive all the way there. All that eye rolling they must do burns calories.

sad when the best parts of a movie are
Spoilerwoulda-coulda Nick Cage vs. spider scenes
and a falling dog over the credits.

I understand why they did this way, but do people who live in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio actually consider themselves living in the "North"?
grew up in Minnesota and it was often referred to as "North Country" at least in advertising in the 1970's.

(Never mind. Figured it out myself)

I'm concerned that on BBQ Brawl, Sunny will be the loud-obnoxious Sunny version because she always is that way around Bobby.
obviously, this show needs the combo of Sunny AND Brian Malarkey to really drive people away.
and FYI Sunny, I live like 30 minutes from Half Moon Bay, NO ONE calls it "PCH" up here in Northern California. It's simply "Highway 1." That's for Southern California types only.

There are mounted, stationary cameras all over the boat, like surveillance cameras. That's also what's in the crew quarters. Glenn doesn't allow/disallow what they film or show, he has no control over that. The shots of Glenn relaxing in the wheelhouse or foraging for food in the kitchen are just what they seem, a contrast to the mania and hijinks of the crew out on the town. I don't know why they don't do that with Captain Lee or Sandy, except that neither of them are as jovial or as likeable as Glenn, and this was probably something they started doing on BDSY specifically because Glenn is so enjoyable and often talks to himself when he's alone.
I always figured the difference is that it appears Glen can be truly alone on Parsifal. On the bigger super yachts, there's likely always the "secret crew" of first officer and engineers wandering about and there is no real privacy.

Ugh, not Malarkey! I can take him in small doses, and he even makes me laugh sometimes, but where he's half the show every week?!
if it's any consolation, in the first ep. Brian M. was not as annoying as I expected him to be. 🙃

Thanks for posting this, @Trillium!
Brendan Hunt did at least confirm that the wedding was not a dream, so I guess my (and others') theory that most of the show was a dream (like the snow globe at the ending of St. Elsewhere and like Dorothy going back to Kansas after the land of Oz) is not what they were going for:-
"In the final episode of season 3, is the Beard & Jane wedding a dream sequence of Ted’s? Or is it real?" (link to this Reddit post)
- "Real" (link to reply by RealCoachBeard)
I was thinking the St. Elsewhere angle too.
Actually, I'm a bit disappointed that the whole thing wasn't dreamt and imagined, like Pixie Styx theorized, that the snow globe was given to Ted after his interview.
This may have been a bit too clever though and maybe 6 of us watching would have figured this out, so good this wasn't it. :)

am I mistaken or in past seasons weren't the judges present to see who the finalists were at the very end and who won?
Ours cut out early after Mei was handed the belt (sigh) so maybe they were there and we missed it.

I just complained on the Top Chef thread that "Fire" seems to be a new catch phrase in reality-TV-world.
I reason it's rooted in anti-Boomer thinking because we say "cool" all the time. 🙃
This show can disappear for me and I wouldn't miss it.

It IS a shame about Helen, as I really liked her. I wish we could have gotten rid of Sarah instead, who is just plain...
...and tall. She's Plain and Tall.
It was just sitting there. 🙃

Huh. They traded Alexa Chung for a Hadid. Well that's unfortunate, but I'm sure they think that's an upgrade.

Yeah, I'd like to watch it, but with that scheduling, it's unlikely I'll be able. ... What a waste.
OMG. it's my early 1970's childhood all over again. where if you didn't see it live, it's gone.
this is a fascinating choice on their* part.

Also, “you want the pretty money, shame on you?” thing - I’m not sure why the crone screamed that at them.
I'm sure that's not nothing (love double negatives!) and we will find out about it in the finale. yes, I'm very late to watching this season. :)

S01.E05: Judgment Day
in 3 Body Problem
IMO this whole show is special effects.
