Is it just me or did Saku drop some cookies off the sheet, onto the floor, and then pick them up and use them?  Yuck!

[Tournament Of Champions - General Discussion]

I've been wondering about the audience.  Where do they get those people?  They look like the audiences on some infomercials--like they're being paid to sit there.  And what's with the empty seats?  Can't find enough people who want to watch?  Although to sit there and watch 3 or 4 matches would make a long day.

  I think the consideration of George's conversion to Judaism was kind of forced.  Many children are raised in 2 religion homes.  However, I liked Anna's speech about why she is the way she is... pretty cool.  Also leaves room open for another season...that and Sir Richard, the snake!  The costumes are so great!

I love love love those pretty dresses that Anna wears.  And the little sweaters!

I did not like the winning look at all.  Totally expected, nothing new there at all.  I actually liked the big coat, but agreed about the inside quilting being too much.

I liked the color of the inside quilted part--I even like that it was quilted.  I think this might have worked if the inside "dress" had actually been a separate dress, not connected to the coat.  That was strange.

[Atlantic Crossing - General Discussion]

I've just watched the first two episodes.  I wondered why it seemed to be quite cold and snowy in Norway when Martha and her children escaped to Sweden, and when they arrived in Sweden it was so warm that ladies were outdoors in summer dresses.  Am I missing something here?

The correct pronunciation of Don Juan depends on what you're talking about.  I think Byron's work is the only place it's Don Jew-wan.

My Lit professor used to always pronounce it "Don Jew-an."

Has anybody else noticed how bad the make-up is on this show?  They all look like pumpkins with big eyebrows.  those big groomed eyebrows don't look so bad on people with dark hair, but awful on blonds.  Chuck Todd looked terrible this morning--orangy, brows too dark, that man seriously needs a make-over.  And they had a guest man whose makeup ended abruptly at the edge of his face and you could see his real face color at the side.  GET A NEW MAKE-UP CREW!  Don't get me started on Savannah's stringy hair.

Oh please!  We all know Conrad is an uber doctor!  But when the problems started and he said that he'd go down to the basement and see what was going on down there, I laughed out loud.  He's also an electrician!  And an HVAC guy!  He'll fix that stuff in the basement!

I thought Jo's cake topper was really blah, and am not sure what Amber was thinking with that tasseled (tasselled?) cake topper.

The yarn thing is Mexican and is called an Eye of God.  So I think she was thinking of the couple's Mexican heritage.  It just didn't come off well.  Lots of us have made those in scouts when we were in elementary school.

 A divorce would hurt his show, reputation  and image so I don't think either want that.  

Of course, he's already been divorced once, before Robin, but they keep that really quiet!

The judges dissed the Vermont scene as "conventional" but wasn't the San Francisco scene equally conventional as "what people think of San Francisco"? I think they should have been more clear in their critique. There must have been a more understandable reason they didn't like it (and I agree the SF one was awesome).

Yes, I agree.  The ETSY lady said that the Vermont scene didn't tell her anything new about Vermont.  The SF scene didn't tell me anything new about that city--bridge, fog.  She was just too much about ETSY for my taste.

Loved Michaela during TC.  She might be the first player ever to gain weight during the game!

[All Episodes Talk: French Country in Texas?]

I recently watched a show called "Home Town."  It's a realy take-off of Fixer Upper.  A couple somewhere in the South helps people redo houses that need a lot of help.  They don't have the charm of Chip and Jo, but they do a good job.  They also don't have kids that they bring on the show.  :o)
