Bridget & John were speculating that in addition to the no one-touch warm up, the very cold temperature in the arena might be having an affect on the athletes. A full crowd would have warmed it up some.

Is that poor child running on a track in her stocking feet with her toe sticking out? I am speechless.

Thank you @Rootbeer!

This is interesting; can I ask what book?

Isn't Jill the tallest of the Duggar girls? Maybe she was self-conscious about it.

I’ve known people who’ve repurposed old household items in their gardens and it was charming. This... is not. It looks like they upended a kitchen stool and buried it for that one sad plant to grow on.

Pretention and Sprinkles is my new favorite faux brand name. I want it on a shirt!

I’m quite sure that’s an amber teething necklace. There’s a fair amount of arguing going on in the comments about them regarding effectiveness, danger, etc.

I just don't get what's in this for the Nakatsus. Jim Bob and Jed! seem to be punching way above their weight here.

The Moulin Rouge version is by Jose Feliciano and Ewan McGregor and is a weird reimagining of the original song, but it works in the context of the movie. It’s also a popular choice for skating routines. That cover last night was just distractingly horrible; I think it genuinely might be the worst thing I’ve ever heard on the show.

That's exactly what I thought. 😞

Lorraine lives in London so I'm guessing travel restrictions.

Heh. I loved it; I thought it was amazing.

I think that’s a common thought but really only Kristi, Meryl and Adam won. Evan, Charlie, Nancy and Mirai all got knocked out at various stages and Dorothy quit. (I’m not even counting Tonya.) Am I forgetting anybody? I did think Johnny would be a bit better than he seems to be right now, it’s kind of like he’s not sure how to make his feet move gracefully on the floor or something and is too much in his head about it. I hope he gets over that.

I don't know why this is the detail that bothers me out of all of this, but in the baseball hat pic, why do both their hats say Justin? Shouldn't one of them be Claire? Hers if it's a cutesy self reference or his if it's a wearing each other's names thing?

Is it just me or does that mini-golf course look extra sad? No windmills or tunnels or castles or anything?

I think you’re thinking of Natalie Sideserf, who is on Duff’s team this season. Her show was Texas Cake House.

I thought it was a little odd that the theme seemed to be generic amusement park with no actual references to Knott’s included at all. Duff’s bison at least had the little 100, but nothing else. I was waiting for jams & jellies, chicken dinners, miners, stagecoaches.

I feel like the weird meter got cranked up a few notches this season. I used to really like Alton Brown on Good Eats and that show where he rode a motorcycle across the country but he's become so mean over the past few years I don't enjoy watching him anymore.

In the 4th pizza picture, did they bring their own bottles of soda to the restaurant?

What the actual crap?!

Considering how prevalent eating disorders are in this sport having (dieting app) Noom as a prominent sponsor seems a little tone-deaf to me.

With her Starbucks by her side.

Ugh. Brooke was my favorite. I’m surprised no one (adult or kid) suggested that she use a food processor for the carrots.

Church nursery maybe?
