  1. Bhanu said that Kelsie was a mermaid “from the waist up” Uh…
  2. Everybody keeps telling Bhanu to feel free to cry and express his emotions. Where’s Tom Hanks when you need him? “Are you crying? There’s no crying! There’s no crying in Survivor. There’s no crying in Survivor!!” By the end of the episode I think my tv was soggy. I’m sorry that Random got evacuated because we have another week of Bhanu trying to win a million hearts. He hasn’t won mine, and from what I’m reading, he’s got a ways to go.
  3. Vietnam: The guy reminded me so much of a young John Oliver, just made me laugh. Plus the epilogue with the fish was hilarious. But if the wife speaks Vietnamese, why didn’t she know the kind of fish she bought? I suppose that she was just not familiar with buying decorative fish and didn’t recognize the name.
  4. I was so excited to see Kyoto, since I was just there in July and am going back in a couple of weeks. I wrote down everything. Unfortunately a pop up restaurant in its last week was no help. lol. I did like the looks of that buckwheat place, so maybe. The Mumbai episode was wonderful for me because I absolutely love Indian food. I admit that the food scene in Orlando didn’t interest me, but I found Washington DC really interesting. I enjoyed his lunch with Pete Buttigieg. My experience in Dubai is only the airport, which was an experience in itself What I love best about his show is Phil’s generosity of spirit, and his sense of humor.
  5. Well, I guess that answers the question about whether Sheldon speaks German or not. I felt sorry for Iain having to learn all that, though he did a really good job. I don’t speak it myself, so I can’t say if he was perfect, but it sounded pretty good to me. Missy is asking for trouble, lying to George like that. Doesn’t Sheldon have classes? How can he go off on train journeys, though that sure looked like fun. I love train travel, especially in Europe or Japan. “Onions in, onions out!” So true.
  6. Considering the fact that 99% of what the survivors eat is coconut, is this really the show to come on if you are allergic to it? I forget who it was that was allergic to everything including chicken and eggs ( she said eggs give her brain fog) but I can’t see her lasting out there. They might win rice, but that’s iffy. And if they don’t win the fishing equipment, it’s going to be nothing but fruit. The big food rewards won’t come for days.
  7. She’s not pregnant. She was talking about her move or something and said, “I have a baby and I’m pregnant with number two.” At the time of the move. Not now. She has three children.
  8. She said she was approaching 30. She didn’t say from what direction.
  9. The garage band was fun, but even that had me thinking they had forgotten last week’s whole episode about Nolan’s “last shift.” Sgt Gray saved it by saying it was a tape from last week. Other than that, it was one stupid thing after another. I get the whole trope about everything going wrong, but these were things that made no sense! And you are going to tell me that the guys made those gorgeous flower arrangements? But Bailey’s wedding cake turned out awful? Well that part makes sense. Tim gets punched and thrown around by some huge guy in the stupidest plot twist, but is perfectly fine the next day. Not even a bruise. Are there no other police in the whole station who could have gone to Celine’s rescue? Aaron was drunk, but the others had also been drinking, I assume, being off duty and all. I just spent the whole episode muttering and shaking my head.
  10. Thankfully the husband got over his “Swiss charm” obsession in order to give his wife a decent commute. Nothing like being a vegan in the land of cheese and chocolate! At least there seems to be a lot of vegan options, unless they showed the only two vegan places in Zurich.
  11. I kind of thought that's what they were working up to with Georgie’s doubts. Hopefully next week something will push him in that direction. The big money is tempting but I think it will be a big mistake, and Connie should know better. So should Mandy. I'm glad Missy got wise and started spreading the chores around.
  12. If they had presented it like that, it would have made sense. Instead Lucy accuses Tim of undermining her, which I didn’t see. She asked him to challenge her and then gets mad at him when he doesn’t spoon feed her the answer. So him giving her space looked like him going off in a huff. Just totally contrived.
  13. PPS to the max. Is there anything that Aaron doesn’t have access to? Need a yacht? Sure…my uncle has one you can borrow. I don’t even have to ask him. Sure…need a new venue for your wedding this weekend? No problem. I don’t even have to ask if it’s available. So what if there’s a wedding scheduled there already…we’ll kick them out! And that red haired lawyer…ugh! As soon as I saw her, I knew she was in on the whole thing. I not only don’t remember her name, but I always got her mixed up with that red haired serial killer. I mean, why should a show have one sexy evil redhead when they can have two? When that neighbor rang Nolan’s doorbell, did anybody else wonder, “where’s Cheddar?” Lucy and Tim’s argument. Contrived much?
  14. I’m hoping that a British person can answer this for me. I was an English major long ago and an Anglophile so I have read many British novels and watched lots of British tv and movies. Up until a few years ago, people in England said, “Happy Christmas.” Suddenly, they are saying “Merry Christmas,” even in period pieces like this. It’s driving me nuts. I can understand the Americanization in contemporary fiction,but have the writers forgotten how people used to talk? Can somebody explain this to me? Other than that, it was a lovely episode. I was so glad the midwife showed up so we didn’t have the cliche of Siegfried or, heaven forbid, Carmody delivering the baby. And I’m extra glad that James didn’t succeed in going AWOL. So Oscar the cat wasn’t the missing stout drinker. But they gave him up anyway, which was very nice of them. I suppose that Helen won’t need his companionship now that she has wee James to care for. Poor Carmody. No wonder he’s so lacking in social skills. It sounds like he was raised as a science experiment. The dialogue was quite funny. edited to add: doing some research reminded me that Dicken’s Ebeneezer Scrooge says “merry Christmas,” so it’s not new and different. Further reading suggests a class distinction between the lower classes saying “merry,” and the upper classes saying “happy.” Which I guess shows what sort of Brit lit I read. So perhaps the people in the Yorkshire Dales might well have said “merry.” It’s just one of those things I notice, like when a British person says “sweater,” or “cookie,” and I think, oh no, America has struck again!
  15. Yes, the book ended just this way and with Dex and Jazz climbing Arthur's Seat. This was a lovely production. I lost track of how many children Tilly and Graham ended up with. She always had what looked like the same baby, year after year. (It probably was the same actor baby. lol) but in the 2nd anniversary of Emma’s death, they showed the whole family and she had at least three.
  16. Yes, it’s been so long since I read the book, I was afraid to watch him with Jazz while he was drinking. Thank goodness they didn’t go there. I also knew immediately that Sylvie was with someone. And of course it was Callum! Ugh!
  17. I don’t know where the casting agent found those twins, but they were perfect. What a dreadful family!
  18. Well, I would have murdered Ian on the first day at the Mexican restaurant, because I can’t stand people who are always “on” and think they’re funny. I say this as a person who did improv comedy for 20 years. And then he goes from Mr Funny to Mr. Desperate. Arggh. At least they parted as friends at the end of that dreadful scene. Really, the performances are so good.
  19. I had to avert my eyes during the last episode because I can’t stand performers melting down, being a performer myself. I just cringe, and I knew it was coming having read the book. But it’s been a while since I read the book and was hoping that by this episode he would be over his douche stage, but I guess not. This dinner was excruciating. Yes, Emma is judgmental, but I think that’s why Dexter needs her. He is surrounded by sycophants and needs her to tell him the truth. But she needs him, too, and right now he’s not in any condition to help her.
  20. I think this episode pretty much dealt with most of that. Well, except for the Herriots, of course. It looks like we won’t have to wait until Christmas for Helen’s baby to be born. Which is a good thing, since she’d be in her 18th month by then. Well, as predicted, Audrey couldn’t go through with it, when push came to shove. I still can’t tell whether Siegfried has any personal feelings for her. He was obviously stricken at the thought of her leaving him, but it might have been the last straw after Tristan, James, and then Helen. He does depend on her, and she seems to feel likewise since she couldn’t leave. But a romance…I just don’t know. I’m glad that Gerald finally got the balls (pun intended) to bring his dog in for surgery. And I love that he fixed the sink while waiting. But maybe if he weren’t so timid, Audrey would have been willing to go with him. But you just know he will end up being a slave to his invalid sister and Audrey won’t be happy.
  21. The Murphy beds were odd and seemed discordant with the decor, all unstained wood, but if the couple don’t mind them, why should I? The whole layout of that flat was peculiar, but quirky is fun if you’re young and in love. They can tell stories about their first apartment in London for years to come. I liked Toby the realtor. He was refreshing and funny.
  22. Once again, a couple says what I am always thinking, that this is a good starter place and they can move further down the road. I’m tired of couples agonizing over rental places as though they were going to be locked in for life.
  23. They did show him looking at something on the computer about rock formations (I think) and it was in English. I think it’s fishy that he chose the roommate apartment without meeting the roommates first, but of course he did meet them beforehand and had probably been living there for some time. The roommates just didn’t want to be filmed. If a guy can throw cheese on a raw hamburger, (previous episode) why not chop up fruit into a bowl and throw chips into it? The directors probably just want the HHs to do some action, even if it doesn’t make sense, figuring that we won’t notice…but of course…we do.
  24. I had assumed that Gator was a nickname, and for all I knew he could have been named Roy. I guess not, if Dot is to be believed. There was at least one other candidate besides the 4 Roys. I think the reason the debate went so bad is that Roy totally lost it and threw a tantrum and punched the moderator. If he had laughed, the whole thing might have even worked in his favor, but Danish knew he would respond the way he did. However, Danish miscalculated Roy’s anger and didn’t think that Roy would murder him in cold blood. Oops. I think that if Dot had dreamed about Linda and the ranch while asleep at night, she would have known it was a dream. But she was so exhausted that she had a waking dream in the diner, almost a hallucination, and so was a bit fuzzy about what was real and what was not. I think the penny dropped when she saw Roy dumping Danish’s body next to the windmill. When Dot does escape, or is rescued, she will literally know where the bodies are buried. I think murdering Roy would be too easy a punishment (for him) I’d rather see him locked up for good, though I suppose he could still do harm from prison, so I guess he has to go.
  25. Did you watch the one guy making burgers? He put cheese on the raw side of the burger. I think he needs remedial burger training. And then he served his brother in law a “cheeseburger without the cheese.” A real knee slapper, that one.
