I'm glad Jack's death is in this predictable way, because the speculation about him having a terminal illness or Alzheimer's disease (because he forgot something one episode, so of course!) ranged from slightly implausible to completely ridiculous.

I did that to my eyebrows and they never fully grew back in. Seriously, I'm so angry with the 90s for foisting this look on us. Now I'm looking at microblading.

I can't believe no one knew Mount Vernon. Loved the spelling category. I am getting really frustrated by how many clues are left on the board.

Yeah, it was staged. For tweets! Yeah, because twitter is all the new rage! Hey, let's make everyone look like an incompetent buffoon and embarrass a whole bunch of people publicly in the process. For....tweets! LOL!

I'm sure he wishes he had but he likely froze in the moment. It's like your brain turns to glue. He could have also played it off like "Oh this must be one of Jimmy's pranks!" but then it really would have looked scripted. Also, I can only imagine the "old man dementia" jokes if he shuffled off the stage to get help reading a card. He was in a no win situation and I don't think it was his fault at all.

I'm sure Viraj would have been singing a different tune if he had won the tournament. He really does come off as a sore loser and that's too bad since I was charmed by his Oprah anecdote.

I saw this last week. Yes, it was terrible, no surprise there, but I legitimately LOLed when Ana gets the promotion at work when Jack is fired and then the other assistant asks Ana if she's now expected to call her "Ms. Steele". Everything Ana says "I expect you to call me Ana, I don't expect you to fetch me coffee unless you're getting some for yourself, and the rest we'll just make up as we go along" is exactly what Melanie Griffith says to her new secretary at the end of Working Girl. Fantastic shout out to an amazing movie starring her mom (which this one wasn't).

I liked Gary too. But yeah, there was no way he could win. He had to know it which was why he placed such an odd wager.

I like her a lot but I haven't been too impressed with the short singing clips that have been released. It has no life at all. It's hard to describe, the animated one was bursting with life. You can almost feel the energy leaping off the cell. One of my good friends is an animator (not for Disney) and he used to send me stills of the animated Beauty and the Beast and point out all the flaws in the shots....illustrating why he considered the whole movie a bit slapdash. It's true it was made in 2.5 years while most animated features take around four years. But the story and the characters and the life it had were what made it great, not the tiny cleanup details in each frame. We were always arguing about that.

I thought it was pretty clear Viraj knew he was toast after his "aqua therapy" screw up. You could just see the wind go out of his sails. He fell apart. Even Alex was aghast. But I was rooting for Lilly so I was fine with it.
