  1.  

    Despite my ladybits, I have zero interest in eyelash extensions. Maybe my technical know-how cancels that out. I have mixed feelings about the crying speech, but I think the eyelash woman would be wise to listen to Mark and grow her business that way. (And get on those patents, if possible! I think she might have fared better if she'd had the patent in hand before her appearance.)

     

    Oops, looks like we both got ladybytes instead.

     

    I do know that eyelash extensions are hugely popular, and maybe a pitch that focused on the value of that salon-service sector and either the ability to replicate/franchise the salon itself, and/or sales of the patented product to salon professionals could have resonated more with the sharks.

  2. I was impressed with Tenley's handling of the Chris B date-ask. In the face of his persistent refusal to accept her answer of NO, she remained pleasant while being increasingly direct and trying to ensure the message got through his pickled noggin. Points to Joshua for swooping in to nab that great date - the food looked incredible.

  3. Is "Do whatever you need to do to get a rose" really that much of a smoking gun? It doesn't specifically mention killing kittens, playing tonsil hockey with widows, or abusing apostrophes, so how bad can it be?

     

    But really, let's focus on the big issue here - why is Dan's beard so glisten-y? Beard glitter? Secret stash of Jheri Curl? I lost track of what he was saying because his Sparkle Plenty chin was so distracting.

  4. The scene with Joe and Samantha in the Camp Firewood bunks looked odd, like the dialogue was spliced in from some other conversation. I'm going by Samantha's elbows, pretty much, but her body language didn't seem to match the discussion.

     

  5. I liked seeing a few shots of some of the women without their hair and makeup done, looking like normals. Also the bit where (I think it was) Ashley I gushing about how good Jeuyooliha's boobs looked in the yellow bikini top. Amidst the DRAAAMA , it's nice to see a bit of female camaraderie.

  6. I'm not sure what Dan saw that had him thinking Ashley S is unstable.

    While Joe has every right to play the game he doesn't exactly come off well when he's already forgotten Juelia's name.

     

    Thankfully, I don't live in Joe's brain so I can't say for sure, but I got the impression that he knows perfectly well what her name is. That was just a small, cruel ploy to underscore her unimportance to him.

  7. It's not necessarily just drunken spring break photos people might not want front and center, or in fact anything they've posted. 

     

    I was the victim of a white collar crime. There were (small scale) news stories that included my name. Although I didn't commit the crime, I'm not super crazy about potential employers seeing these stories as they might question my professional judgment, and a number of the stories aren't particularly accurate. The stories were published for quite a few years, every time there were subpoenas, arrests, indictments, convictions, releases from jail, etc.

  8. I had a 50 lb foster puppy with terrible separation anxiety - she basically could not be left alone as she'd try to break a window to get out of the house to find her people, or break her teeth off trying to bust out of a crate. On the advice of a trainer I bought her a remote treat dispenser to try to teach her that good things happen when I walk out the door.

    She very quickly learned how to beat the treats of the dispenser with her big strong puppy paws, and destroying a tablet in the process wouldn't have bothered her one bit.

  9. I attended a dealership open house last year, and one of the technicians told me that almost 80% of modern car repairs involve a software upgrade, especially the electric cars. So, even if you know how, you can't.

    That's true to an extent with modern cars. One of mine is a hybrid, and I wouldn't know how to fix many things on it. There are an awful lot of not-so-techy cars still on the road, though - one of mine is a 1997, and the other is a 1930.

     

    I'm just being an old coot, I guess, who thinks kids these days should understand the principles of the internal combustion engine and know how to gap a plug and learn to drive a stick, dadgum it! 

     

    I kid, of course (except for about the stick) but a little mechanical aptitude serves a person well. I loved that Rochelle, despite not knowing exactly what the transmission was, had the aplomb to tear right in. Taking stuff apart is easy, it's putting it back together that's the tricky part.

  10. I get a little tired of seeing men so threatened by having to dress up as a woman (or in this case, as a man impersonating a showgirl, which is a very different look than my actual every day literal woman garb). Nobody thinks you're switching teams of any kind just because you put on a costume for a game show, guys. Relax.

     

    I did like that the ladyboy task seemed to be judged more on showmanship than precision.

  11. Thanks for the man candy this season!

     

    I like Carolyn for being practical and level headed with the whole "can't hold a grudge, I'd do the same thing with the initial decision" and snagging that HII, then not playing it (presumably on the strength of stuff we didn't see).  Also the blonde girl the coconut vendor was creeping on, is it Jennifer? I like her confessionals - she's my chickendaddy's imaginary Survivor girlfriend this season. Sadly, my imaginary Survivor boyfriend ate a raw scorpion.

     

    Gel monkey Joaquin has a glorious head of hair once all the product is washed out of it.

  12. I have a thing about eyes and Fish's scene freaked me the hell out.

    All I could do was scream in shock. sorry neighbors. It's 1230 her but damn, id'd just finished eating show.

    I also get totally squicked out by eye stuff and was cowering all over my couch wailing "SCOOP AND STOMP!" for some time before I recovered.  EEEEEEE!

  13. I feel like the Keen Home design we saw is mostly residential. I don't recall most hotels having the same size venting as home ducts. Maybe my judgment is colored by the fact that I've been living in a long-term stay hotel for three months after some water damage to my house, and my room has one of those great honking wall units that controls the temp.

    I don't really think the concept of controlling the air flow room by room is that complex. My house, for example, has the common areas all in the front, and bedrooms in the back, and during a cold/hot time it would be great to be able to say "I'm going to bed, stop heating/cooling everything except my bedroom"

  14. I agree! I don't think the guy was purposely trying to look funny or bad. He was just an average guy in swim trunks. I felt sorry for him when they were laughing and saying that stuff. 

     

     

    The body/body hair shaming seemed uncharacteristically cruel, at least for most of the crew - not least because I thought demo guy looked very similar to the pitch guy, like they could be brothers.  Way to alienate your Lumbersexual market, Sharks!

  15. I can't believe the lipstick women didn't try referencing the success of Urban Decay, whose tagline when they started out was "Does Pink Make You Puke?". With nontraditional color names like Roach, Scab and Smog, they appealed to the anti-barbie aesthetic and made (still make - they are one of my favorite brands) high quality products. I don't recall them ever having a green lipstick, but this early ad features a purple one https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6055/6220266392_1332f2670c_b.jpg

     

    UD's net sales in FY2012 were US $130 million. They were acquired by L'Oreal in late 2012.

  16. I have consistently been under the impression that the "brains" behind Grizzl are...not very effective. They are rich and so they attract smart developers/inventors etc., but the actual people who own/run the company? They have often come across to me as flighty, rich stoners.

     

    It's 4:13. You got 7 minutes.
