All their shows are now about families and their drama. The Property Bros (one of them got married, yadda), the Fixer Upper people, the one where the lady had a baby. If I want reality tv about people, I'll go to TLC. I go to HGTV for Home and Garden TV.

Very psyched for this.

And Joe is fabulous.

From here: The chefs and guest judges are listed on that page!

James. Who doesn't/can't watch the show anymore. Erik, who is all zen about his amazing balls-up. (hah) And KEVIN HART? Why give away real estate in your own show? Did we hear ANYTHING from the other contestants? Cripes, a great way to make me want to skip watching the reunion shows after the winner's announced, Probst.

I've been watching delayed, and just caught up, and now I'm happy as hell. YES.

Do you have the recipe for that? Sounds yummy! Taught by my grandmother: slice the eggplant, layer it with salt in a colander, weight it down (I put a plate on it with a weight/can/whatever on top). Let it sit for at least a half hour. Pat the salt off , cook. All the bitterness will go away. Oh, make sure there's something UNDER the colander to catch the liquid. I lightly pan fry the slices. Then freeze them up so I always have them on hand, either for quick eggplant parm, or eggplant and sausage sandwiches, or whatever. I'll do half breaded (Italian breadcrumbs), half not.

Ricotta, lest my Sicilian ancestors all roll over in their graves. And ricotta assertive, my butt! Cottage cheese is both the wrong consistency and too wet.

Err, if Angela had already dropped out, Chelsea would've been gone. She wasn't competing for the II against Dom & Wendell, just Angela. Well, her temp team had to go to tribal first, but for her, she won once Angela was gone. The rest didn't matter to her.

That's awesome! I'm glad Michael is gone. I think I'm too old to appreciate his, to me, very average looks. He's ok. He didn't really do any game play.

I'm still boggled by the narrative that she kept the 2nd pregnancy a secret. She was pregnant during that whole Beach Flip show with David Bromstad and Josh Temple. They even made a point of her not being able to do some things because of her being pregnant. In addition, the very last frame of the season of Rehab addict that she did while pregnant showed her sitting in a window, bump on full display. Later on, they did edit it out, but there it was, right out there. She loves to rewrite history. Edited to add a picture of her during Beach Flip:

Seriously! She looked like a mouse had been eating it while she slept. And yup - I think Donathan's game is being underrated.

Well, the picture shows Fogo de Chão, so they have at least SOME really good food!

This is the problem with so many switchups before merge. I wish they'd learn, we can't get invested when they're always doing that! In other news, I knew Des was going early on. (and I never know. I'm Ms Clueless) Her THs were all "I'm gonna shake it up, make a move, yadda" and then boom. She severely overestimated her own abilities. Yes, everyone knew you were lying, Des.

Is he friends with Scott Pruitt? (snerk)

Or with a poached egg on top. Yummm. (Philly girl born & bred, but I've lived in Texas for 20 years now)

I've lived over a lot of the US. I lived on South Miami Beach for a while in the 90s. Loved it, but it got SO expensive. But I adored south Florida. Also lived in Tampa, and I could easily go back there, or really, Saint Pete. I've been in Texas 19 years now. I'm basically resigned to it, but the summers are dreadful. I'd take Hawaii's lack of seasons to ours. We have the cold season, and the OMG-I'm-Gonna-Die hot season. I was raised in PA, lived there first 29 years. I sometimes miss the seasons, but not the ice storms!

That video, my god. He was posing like a Sears catalog model too. I would've done a Cher "Snap outta it!" Moonstruck-slap to him.

THIS. Seriously, I think Chris thought everyone else was there just to sacrifice themselves so he could win the million.

I came here just to comment on this Ponderosa. SO. BAD. So much 2nd hand embarrassment. He speaks of himself in 3rd person, by his full name. He was voted out because they feared his smartness? Oh lord, the kind of delusion.

I KNOWWWWWWWWWWW. Oh my heart. He totally is but I'm gonna be crying the whole time. I forgot the fairy eye! Those have to be rewarded - by someone. I thought Iris was full of shit. I think she was there just to thwart the others. I wonder if she's part of a faction of gods that didn't want magic restored because without it, the gods were the only ones with juice.

YES! I've been hoping GBM would end up on a streaming service. Now if they'd just get all the Masterchefs (UK) - pro and regular.

I just watched this week's episode, and all I can really say is that this season has been great. It feels like the show really found its heart.

Lura, sending you all the healing wishes!

Burned the rest of her Detroit bridges?
