  1. I was surprised they haven’t cleared the skeleton out of the vault. Eww. But I like the intrigue of there being two more suspects in Alberta’s death!
  2. I thought Tina and Calvin’s relationship was sweet but didn’t believe there were no cons. He’d consider the impact to the neighborhood and his employees.
  3. Bob wants this to be a separate company from MaxDot — he’ll have to have other clients,too. Does he think he can beat the price and quality of the imports with enough margin the make the American socks viable? People will pay more for “Made in America” but how much? The writers are telegraphing a cash crunch with Abishola on strike and Dottie investing her money. Hijinks ensue.
  4. Watched 2 episodes, and I liked both couples! Shocker. The first were from Florida buying a vacation home in the mountains. All those stairs to the river? Those will get old quick and be a downside if they try to sell let alone rent it. And that 2nd house sleeps 20? In 4 bedrooms. Like you want bodies everywhere and bunk beds shoved in every corner of the common areas and your renters paying $15 per person per night. Second couple from West Virginia were young even for being young. I hope the high school rivalry was played up for the “drama.” He had a plum job working for the state treasurer and she was a teacher, so I presume they’re college educated: Get past high school. The painted paneling? Shudder. His repeated fantasies of The Guys coming over to hang out or watch the big game, though…she didn’t seem so warm to the idea.
  5. I think the series has been Bob’s imagination as he was having his heart attack. Whether he lives and his reality unfolds like it did or he realizes it was transference and goes on to make a new reality or he dies is up to the runner.
  6. I think Abdul should’ve won based on the quality of the final bakes. He did better in the first two rounds and the showstopper was a push.
  7. I don’t really cares who wins. At least there’s no baker who has wonderful flavors but can’t create a bake to save their lives.
  8. I felt no one deserved star baker for another week. Janusz, especially, and Sybira peaked Week 1. Sandro W2. For any of them to have a weakness in something like laminated breads (let alone custards??) should be enough to get then DQ’d from the show let alone let them scoot through to the quarters. And their cameras didn’t show what happened to the 8th roll or did it fall on the floor the editors decided to make fun of it after last season’s scandal?
  9. When the hooded figure rose from the stairs she’d just run down, I completely lost it. I was laughing so hard I thought I’d wet myself. Seven episodes and with 10 minutes left in the series they introduced a supernatural element. As if people needed another option as to whom (or what!) was behind the letters. As much fun as I had watching it, this show was a hot mess.
  10. Jennifer Coolidge stole the show, I thought, especially her last scene. Lol. That was great. I’d had enough of the “gotcha! You’re the watcher!!” confrontations by the middle episodes. I realize it was meant to reinforce their slide into paranoia, but it was too much. We get it. You feel you can’t trust anyone. My absolute favorite part of the series was them using “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” Add in some ominous undertones and it’s quite creepy.
  11. Yep! Last season Flower described how she died. She said she’d wandered over from a music festival and was killed when she tried to hug the bear. “Drugs were involved,” is how she worded it I believe.
  12. I said last week the bakes would get more competitive after Carole left, but we’re not there yet. I think if Carole’s strawberries in the showstopper had been good that Dawn would’ve gone home. She and Abdul are next. (They haven’t spent much time with Abdul it seems.) I moved Sandro into my 3rd finalist position due to Syabira’s week. Watermelon wasn’t smart. The artificial tastes artificial, and the flavor from the real juice usually isn’t strong enough.
  13. I couldn’t focus on much except Micah’s bad wig. A few good lines, happy for Flower. Otherwise, meh.
  14. I just watched the scene, and he said she was the love of his life and he thought she felt the same. He killed the deer, gave it to her family, and he never heard from her again. Then Sam told Jay that Shiki ghosted Sass, and the ghosts were offended by the phrase. Pete asked if the point was “ghosts have no manners?” Sass didn’t specifically say he told Shiki how he felt, but I think the gift made it clear. Then Jay started composing texts for Sass: ‘sup.
  15. Abishola could show a little patience and understanding while Bob was figuring it out. He walked away from his professional life without a plan just the knowledge that his life wasn’t working. It always has to be about her, though. It has to be exhausting to tiptoe around her moods and her many invisible land mines.
  16. There’s no reason Christina has to be such a disaster. I don’t find the storyline or the actress remotely amusing. The preview for next week: Is that Dele? He was just on 2 weeks ago, and that guy looks like he’s 10 years older. And enough with Abishola being a “traditional Nigerian woman” excuses. Let the guy breathe for a minute.
  17. My 2¢: You can celebrate a culture without accusing yourself of appropriating it. Noel and Matt weren’t being respectful, but then how often are the openings?
  18. Thanks! My modem rebooted the second before they announced their choice. Glad they went with the second one. The living space on the multiple levels, outdoor space…plenty of areas to spread out and not be on top of each other.
  19. Could be like Sam’s Mom: Find out where she died and go see if she’s a ghost. (I’m completely unspoiled and don’t go into the speculation/spoiler thread or read any media. This is a pure guess.)
  20. It was past time for Rebs.Watching her struggle wasn’t enjoyable. So Carole will go next week now. I feel like the other bakers have all had their moments when they stepped up and showed some talent. It should get more competitive. (Though barring disaster the semi-finalists have separated themselves.) Thinking about the theme, I feel it leveled the playing field. (Except the tacos. Wth?) Everyone struggled, but they had to use their experience with the ingredients and flavors more than usual. No one was saying, “I made these with my Nan every Sunday growing up.”
  21. Wow. There were wayyyyyy too many commercials. I swear there were 8 in the one block about 3/4 of the way through. CBS must be desperate since it’s their biggest comedy. The episode? Identifying the suspect was the highlight. Otherwise pretty meh for me.
  22. Did you not see Pete’s episode last season? I highly recommend it!
  23. I had no idea! (And I didn’t cap the A on “Apple” in my post. It autocorrected on my iPad, and I was too lazy to tap back and “correct” it.) Thank you for the details! Gotcha! I did think it was curious that someone wouldn’t have this basic skill. He backtracked off it so quickly when reading the rest of the instructions I went with it, though.
  24. It was S3 E19, “A House for Sale and Serious Woman Stuff.” Sheldon found out the neighbors were moving, and he freaked out about who might move next door. Do they have a dog? A bird? A bird that barked like a dog? Do they smoke? He learned his drama teacher (Jason Alexander) was also a real estate agent, and he tried to find a buyer himself. Mary didn’t want Jeff to move next door, but Sheldon thought it’d be great because he could argue theology over the fence. Then Jeff and Robin announced they were expecting, and Sheldon freaked out again. It was the same episode where Missy was agonizing over whether or not to try and strike out her boyfriend at baseball, and what if she did and he didn’t like her anymore. That storyline overshadowed the house for me. They played “New Sensation” by INXS when Missy ran all the way home to tell MeeMaw that Marcus told her “good game” and held her hand even though she struck him out. It was a good episode.
  25. I liked that the showstopper was different than the ones I remember which were basically sculptures, iirc, demonstrating different kinds of breads and techniques, but from an appetizing POV? I can’t get my head wrapped around the visual of a sandwich covered in condiments that you eat with utensils but look like cakes. (I’m trying to not be provincial.) I was really hopeful for Dawn at the beginning, but she’s disappointed on both technique and flavors the last couple of weeks. Kevin (I think?) was going to warm his butter for the laminated bread?? I’ve never baked a bread in my life, but even I know you have to keep it cold and freeze between folds. Have none of these people watched previous seasons? You’re going to have to laminate bread, and you’re going to have to do it more than once if you make it far enough. Carole: When she said she was wearing her Apple pants, what’s the meaning? Was she saying she had to behave like an adult and step-up to the challenge? And did she say “pants” which would mean underwear? It’s fair that no one got sent home.
