LBS

Watching the end credits I wished one of them yelled ‘I love lamp’ from Anchorman but then I realized that everyone of them was between the ages of not born yet (Jess) to 3 years old when that movie came out. So I’ll just that as my sob story for senior bachelor.

You are most likely correct. Personally I find James much more attractive and have never understood Logan's appeal, but the BN hierarchy is real and that makes sense. But BIP filmed before the Bachelorette started. At that point no one knew who Logan was and everyone knew who James was. Personally both are unappealing to me but I’m not on a beach looking for followers. 😅

Casey was on Bachelor Happy Hour podcast and dropped some tea as the kids say. Highlights: 1. Faint - lots not shown which would explain ankle. He said it was due to heat, dehydration, and lack of sleep coupled with anxiety 2. He had kissed Brittney that was not shown and although nothing developed on her side, they were close. She told him that it was really hard for her to go because of the vicious rumors from her season and that really wrecked her. Peter thought him and Casey were friends and told Casey that he was going to ‘bury Brittney’ as payback for rejecting him. So Casey wanted to let B know so she wasn’t blindsided. 3. After he told her, he was confronted by Andrew S/his crew and yelled at for causing drama (which explains Andrew telling B not to confront Peter) 4. He said Andrew was kind of a prick to him the entire time and was really cocky. Which makes sense. Casey is a non-entity in the social media realm. 5. Michelle and Becca K (hosts) were talking about people knowing each prior to the show. Casey confirmed that Rodney had a huge birthday party prior and Genevieve was there among other cast members. Michelle said that she was going to go but Nayte told her it was only guys invited. She said ‘that should of been a red flag’ 😂 it was actually an interesting podcast with a lot more nuances between the 3 of them.

This show is filming before the Bachelorette aired so the women would technically have no idea who Logan, Johnnie, or Tyler are or where they ended up on the season I.e no idea on who was a big name. I don’t think Shanae went after Tyler because of that.

I stopped it with Wayne Brady to go and everything conked out. I started the live show at 7: 30. Does it not continue if the live show is over? Can only restart the premier episode now. This is so annoying

Why???????? So it’ll be 45 minutes of Bachelor stuff and then the Bros movie? Which actually fine with me.

Danielle was on Nick’s season. She was/is a nurse. (Not sure if she still us)

Me and Mr. LBS are going on June 24th! I’m so excited! I don’t mind Sarah but since I don’t watch LCK I’m not as invested. My preference is a Buddha/Evelyn final with Buddha winning. He did his homework and I love how stunning his food looks.

Julie in every episode:

@Captain Asshat thank you for the local insight!!!

Wow - this was a hard elimination challenge. I like all three but was sad to see Jae go. I thought she was heads and tails talent wise over Ashleigh. Buddha and Nick were even to me but I’m predisposed to want Nick so I was a bit disappointed. I’m all in on Damarr and hated that he knew he knew exactly what he did wrong but I thought it helped him at elimination when he didn’t excuse it. I’m so excited for this end! no spoiler but can’t remove the box.

Instead of prom put in every rose ceremony for the last 2 years. At least Pee Wee is wearing socks 😂

Me too! I think his shy body language is because he’s not used to being filmed. ( I’m extremely self conscious when someone films me so I may be biased.) I loved this episode! All the food looked so good. I was skeptical of Jae’s dish when she was describing it but man did it turn out well! Luke was the right choice to go although I warmed up to him as the season progressed. Damarr has collard greens on his menu. In fact everything on his menu looks fantastic. As soon as it is outside patio weather here, I’m going and I’ll report back. https://www.virtuerestaurant.com/menus/

It’s not adding anything and it’s not that ‘crazy’ as she made it out to be. So many houses here have them when the windows face brick. My parents house built in 1912 have them (they had to replace them a couple of years ago but kept the original lead/glass and incorporated it in). My grandparents bungalow had 4 stained glass windows. I did love what she did with it and the butlers room which makes my heart hurt. 😂 My husband and I joke that she must have incriminating tapes of him. The building next to this build is the apartments from last week. So in a block of red Chicago bricks you got one painted black and another in white siding. Cool. Seamless. i

I just want a meme/gif/whatever the kids are calling it of Buddha with a cup of tea smirking ‘plot twist’ when Jackson told everyone of his Covid. I laughed so hard! I actually liked Jackson and while I do think his team seized on that to blame him for losing at the moment, I do think they all realized they were a cohesive loss the next day because they all seem like reasonable humans. The Matriarc restaurant was just miles ahead. I’m rooting for everyone on that team to make it to final five! Demarr I want to go the end with Buddha.

I wish Damarr would of gotten Bessie Coleman because I think he would of nailed the narrative of his dish with her. He said his dish was about family and Bessie Coleman moved to the south side of Chicago when she was 23 to live with her brothers. Also there is a park and library named after within walking distance from his restaurant (which is now opened again for indoor dining! Huzzah!) so he knows about her in connection to the neighborhood. Loving this season and I think the eliminations are on track with the talent left. I also loved this women forward episode and I’m glad they at least obliquely addressed the issues.

I think his restaurant is still closed for dining. I know it was opened for outdoor dining this summer but every time I walk past it since the weather turned, it looks closed. I’m hoping it survives and can’t wait to go! It’s in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago (where U of Chicago is, Robie House, MSI, the Obama) which is awesome and I encourage you to check it out on your visit. DM if you want. https://www.virtuerestaurant.com/ As for the show, I was so glad Demarr won both! Stephanie was the right person to leave. I’m sure she’s a good cook but was overwhelmed in this competition. I really wanted to taste that rice dessert! It probably would of knocked Jackson’s dessert out. So far none of the contestant really bug which is nice.

I just want to let you know that I get it. It’s horrible. I shut down too. It’s not cathartic because the anxiety is still berating me but I can’t physically or mentally do anything. I’m just there. It’s not a ‘I’m going for a run to clear my brain’. It’s too many steps to make the choice to get into running clothes so I’m going to shut off in a room and ruminate and do something mindless and have the anxiety just sit there looking at me like an annoying little sibling waiting for me to do anything to provoke a tantrum. I didn’t know anything about them besides their videos but their podcasts on marriage and ADHD and anxiety have helped so much.

I’m rooting for Damarr Brown because his restaurant is literally 4 blocks from me. As a result I was extra focused on the Green team. Didn’t anyone else notice that they didn’t show any critique for them on the first task? The team presented their food and then they cut to another team. I’m sure the judges commented and that the team was just solidly in the middle but it was kind of weird to not show anything. Glad the show is back and can’t wait to get to know the chefs.

I loved that video and I will have that song in my head! What a joyous couple!

Nice article about Abbott. No paywall https://www.theringer.com/platform/amp/tv/2022/2/22/22944935/abbott-elementary-season-1-interviews-quinta-brunson

Co-sign to all of the praise upthread! I really love this show. I liked how they didn’t go the typical sitcom trope of making Tariq an obviously bad choice and fleshing him out so you could (or at least I could) understand what Janine sees him and why she continues to date him. That little scene of them doing their elaborate pre-show handshake made me realize that they probably have thousands of inside jokes, little rituals, etc because they’ve been together since the 8th grade which makes it so much harder to think about hurting and losing the other person. He’s her big old baggy, holey cardigan that is out of style but comfortable. Unfortunately she needs a sleeker sweater set. Anyways it’s freezing cold here hence the sweater analogy. The jokes were on fire but my favorite throwaway line was from Jacob when Tariq was calling him ‘Jake’ and Janine told him it was ‘Jacob’ and then Jacob pipes in from the back seat “people sometimes forget the Ob”. I have no idea why I found that so funny.

Thank you!!!!!! It’s been bugging me on who she looks and acts like!

Which ones are you listening to? I’m onto Kim/Penn but would love to listen to others.
