Another Easter Egg - forget who was scrolling social media at one point (Krish maybe?) but there was a recipe post from Lacie Pound.

I think Alejandro will win. He hasn't seemed to have many major screw ups, and he's a good listener. For someone who is actually going to run a restaurant, he seems like a good pick to me.

I have also been saying Drea seemed pretty humorless all season, so I felt like her personality came out of nowhere. Mary Anne also said "Everyone loves her" so that surprised me. She had sort of a dullard edit until last night.

This is an obscure reference. Rock of Love Bus (season 3 of ROL) - Elizabeth looks like Brittany Starr, the adult film actress. I recently re-watched the series... don't judge. To me, they're identical. Elizabeth looks about 10 years older than she claims. She's beautiful, but she looks like an old 32 to me. Very pretty, but a subtle hardness to her.

That scene was definitely not played for laughs.

It's not political. Hanukkah happens near Christmas so non-Jewish people associate it with being "like Christmas." It's actually about the 5th or 6th most important Jewish holiday. I believe their most important holidays - high holidays - are in September.

Sydney is hot, but she's not that pretty.

Do they not allow houseguests to smoke anymore?

I really hope Whitney stops posing for the camera. I am betting she's just super conscious of it right now, but she was doing these porn star lips/teeth thing that was grating, and also posturing really oddly. Loving Claire in the small amount of time I saw, and I hope she does well.

I ate at one of Joe's restaurants in NYC... it was admittedly delicious.

No joke, my husband has been bringing this comment up for over a week now. ha!

I think they edited around Johnny Iuzzini during Top Chef Colorado. They just cut him out of the Stanley Hotel episode.

I'm 99% sure he wasn't sent home. Now I'm doubting myself. We either need some context on that fight or they know each other from before the show.

I am not loving the "live chat" during the episode, because it seems no one is posting here much anymore, and that's my favorite part of the show! :( Dang, I just looked up Bao. Wowza - I hope they cast him for a future season. I doubt Katie is as sexually free as the show is portraying her, I think they just once again lean HARD into whatever theme and trope they're going with. I enjoyed Kaitlin and Tayshia as co-hosts, though I don't think it'll be ongoing, nor do I want it to be. I'd like to see a set host again, but perhaps different hosts for Bach and Bachelorette. I thought the interaction they had with Katie improved the show and I'd like to see them develop the host position a little more. I was into Greg, so I can see where she was going with that. He was more regular guy hot. He's my winner pick, although it seems like someone leaves later in the season. I hope it's not him!

I was kind of thinking that too, but I bet they build in one "just in case" week and use it if they need to. I also think last week Mediha won because it was sort of a week no one did crazy well, so they just threw the home baker a bone, so it wouldn't be the same people winning over and over. I'm sure they try to please viewers across the board to some extent.

He's a callin' me. I just can't stay inside all day, I gotta get out get me some of those ray-ay-ays!"

Legitimate question - when they were filming this season, did Matt, Chris, and all of the contestants know how bad it was sucking, or are they just realizing this now that it's airing?

I think final 2 will be Cody, Kori, and if there's a final 3, Declan. This is the first season I've watched. It's hilarious.

LOOOOOVE this podcast. Probably my favorite of all time.

I don't think a serial killer necessarily, but I think he looks like the actor William Mapother, who plays a lot of oddballs. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0544611/?ref_=nm_mv_close

Heather's hair drives me INSANE. Cut it. Style it. You're in formal wear, do something with your hair. It's always the same, and was always the same on Colton's season. Long, blonde hair. Great if you're casual. You're in an evening gown, perhaps try. ARGH!

I'm glad Heather cut some length off her hair. She's a cute girl, but her hair was so long, it was ridiculous. It's still ridiculous, but at least the ends are trimmed. 🤷‍♀️

I'm not, Gracie! I am in Denver. But one of my best friends moved to Philly a few years ago. 🙂

I've ordered 2 Cameos, early pandemic, to give my friends a smile. It's not just reality stars, you've also got a lot of athletes and lower tier celebs/musicians on there. I ordered one for a friend who loves gymnastics, and it was from a gymnast she likes. The other was for a friend whose engagement in Paris got sidelined (so she settled for a Philly engagement) and I splurged and got LuAnn DeLesseps - and her Cameo was freaking AWESOME. Super personalized, she sang, played into her Countess schtick, she incorporated all of the things that I wrote in the blurb about my friend, and my friend absolutely loved it.
