Edward Lee shows up in a cooking competition show in S. Korea, called Culinary Class Wars (on Netflix). It's set up rather differently than your typical competition show (Lee is one of the "white spoons" who are established, famous, chefs, going up against the "black spoons.") Won't go into more details, but it's entertaining if you can handle not being able to scroll your phone while watching it, unless of course you speak Korean. And no, Lee doesn't speak more than a few words of Korean, so they subtitle him in the original :).

Yeah, my husband is 66. He's not in hip-breaking territory. My father did break his hip in a fall. He was 89.

Oh yeah, now I remember. Thanks.

I once bought those (so much easier, I thought!) and they were terrible. Never again. It seemed all three of them had trouble talking. I guess the makeup folks went wild on the rodent teeth :) I would hate that.

I thought a lot of them just looked messy, like I couldn't grasp what I was looking at. The judges raved over one of them that was so cluttered that it looked to me like it had fallen on the floor. I forget whose it was; I think one of the guys. It had some spun sugar on top for no reason I could figure out.

zebra (thierry) didn't have immunity Speaking of the Baileys creme-- how do they seem to always have a photo of whatever personal thing they are talking about?

Can someone remind me what happened to Ridley's daughter? Did he lose a wife at the same time? It kind of drives me mad when we are supposed to remember details from a season we saw a LONG time ago. Maybe I just have a bad memory. I know it's awkward to explicitly tell us, so I don't really know what the solution is. And I thought he had sort of started a relationship with his partner in the bar business. Did that definitively end somehow?

I'm glad someone does. Not being snarky. I don't care for them, but if people enjoy them, so be it. They aren't that long. I can deal :)

she was also in that apocalypse thing (that I never watched) The Last of Us

I've seen the ad where she's trying to remember the guy's name, but what my husband and I thought was that she was way younger than him. I looked her up and she's only 21; he looked to be in his 30s, at least to us, which seemed a bit creepy.

were some of them making marzipan with egg white? I would have thought it's just almond and sugar. (Doing my research on the google machine, some recipes use egg white, but it's not necessary. I'd be concerned about the safety aspect.)

I know all that. What does that have to do with why the commercial annoys me? I just found it weird that she goes from being the customer, to the one telling people to "get it for their loved ones."

The ad for ClearCaptions (a "phone that captions in real time") drives me nuts. This couple overacts SO much; it's like they've taken too many happy pills. Who smiles while talking with the doctor's office about an appointment? And at the end the woman switches from the person using the service to a person pushing the service "for your loved ones." I guess it's not totally non-sensical but it always strikes me as weird. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/fbEd/clearcaptions-easy-solution

Yeah, that ain't her. Way too glamourous. But of course that's what TV does. She should be more practical, pragmatic, get-the-job-done, I don't wear makeup, etc. I mean, she sleeps on the beach in a tent for god's sake. https://deadline.com/2024/03/maggie-q-renee-ballard-bosch-spinoff-1235864247/

I actually watched the season but somehow blocked that whole "relationship arc" out LOL.

I totally agree. Modeling chocolate is not "food"

It was apparently the cake pop stick. Which I only understood at the very end. It's fun to watch him do sugar stuff, but I wonder how long it will take the judges to ding him on always going to that.

Just if anyone doesn't already know this, Betelgeuse is a star in the constellation Orion. It's the reddish one at the shoulder. I knew that name (as a space nerd) long before the movie.

I was confused by the spelling of "Betelguese" on the wall, and Aaron writing "Here lies Betelguese" on his dessert. The show episode (and the movie) is called Beetlejuice. So what's going on? (I confess I never saw the movie. I looked up the date and I was busy writing my dissertation at the time). And what is with Joel's hair? Is that a terrible toupee or what?

can someone remind me how they got back together? I always have trouble remembering past seasons, but last I remember he was getting all romantic and she told him she was engaged to someone else. Clearly I'm missing a big part of the story.

I keep seeing this ad for Del Webb (sp?) "retirement villages" where a husband and wife are touring, and loving everything they see. (Personally, as an introvert, it would give me hives to live somewhere like that, where everyone expects you to want to socialize all the time). Anywhere at the end there are a bunch of people socializing around a fire pit or whatever, and the couple is asked "Would you like to join us?" The wife, with a little frown, says "no." Her husband looks at her like, are you crazy? And of course she says "we would LOVE to join you." I HATE that trope (same as they do on cooking shows: I don't like this...... I LOVE it"

Yes! I would still want to get some shuteye! Falling asleep in each other's arms on the sofa does not sound good to this 60-something woman :)

That one drives me bananas (as a trained scientist, I can't help but do the math). It's for Bobbi Brown makeup I think.

it's under the Golden Bachelor forum, not that it makes sense https://forums.primetimer.com/forum/7425-the-golden-bachelor/

Personally that first episode seemed interminable to me. For the elimination, bake, they kept bringing out more contestants, and I was like "there's still MORE???"
