I thought it was a little careless of Margaret to just write out another check to the vendor who said they hadn’t been paid without looking into it more. Both she and Francie thought they had paid him already but then it was like oh well, let’s just write another check. Don’t they keep books on those kind of things? I know, nitpicking, but it bugged. I do love the show but it’s definitely one where I have to keep reminding myself not to get too caught up in how realistic something is.

Yes, nice to see Geoffrey Owens, and as a New Girl fan it was really fun seeing Lamorne Morris too. Both bachelor parties were hysterical, the fife music and the dinosaur clicking cracked me up. Would LOVE to see outtakes, as I’m sure they did not get through that with straight faces on the first take. Does anyone else have a lot of trouble using this site on their phone? On mine it constantly tries to reload the page and the ads are insane. Guess I need some kind of ad blocker.

Actually I think the salty comment was about Dan’s dish, who was paired with Amanda, not about Danny who was on the winning team.

Someone should’ve made some cheesy grits. I have a friend who makes it and oh my gosh, I could eat the whole pan. I can only imagine what some of these chefs could do with it. And yeah, as someone else said, some kind of play on a grilled cheese sandwich would’ve been great.

I had a flashback watching this of the one day my family went to Disney World. It was almost 100 degrees and so crowded. Couldn’t find seating in the air conditioned restaurants so we ended up getting some mac and cheese from an outside place. The servings were so big and we were so hot none of us could finish it. My kids were actually asking to throw theirs away. It tasted good but it just wasn’t going well in that heat. We still joke about it.

I really wanted Antonia to win! But obviously Maneet is super talented and knows her flavors, so congrats to her. So I guess next year she’s going to be carrying two belts around everywhere.

I’m so glad John chose Zoey over the trio. I’ve never thought it was fair to match up single singers against harmonizing trios. I really didn’t think Zoey had a chance going in because her blind audition was just so so. But she really stepped it up on the battle and it’s great John recognized and rewarded that. I like Chance a lot, he seems kind and humble.

I’m mixed on Allison. She is really mopey but I love her banter with Todd. Hopefully they can find a good balance with her. I really am curious if they will try to work in any singing for Skylar Astin. I fell down a youtube well of videos of him singing and just WOW. Maybe they can do a dream sequence or something. Heck, Psych did an entire musical episode and their actors weren’t even known for singing. I think they could pull off something similar on this show.

I miss the old show in its glory days of course, but I think they did a pretty good job with this. I figured it wasn’t coming back so I’m glad they are giving it a go and maybe at this point it’s a good thing to change up the format and style a bit. The Twitch segment got me. I’m guessing they will probably mention him again at some point; it would be nice to have a dance tribute to him. It’s just still unbearably sad. I wish Comfort could be on the whole duration of the show, too.

I wish they had some kind of twist where the loser with the highest score could come back for one more challenge and if they win they are back in, like a wild card. It’s just a shame that Stephanie and Adam are out with such high scores when people in the 70s are going through. But I guess that’s just part of the game.

Yeah I like him well enough on the Kitchen, and I think it’s funny when he has to eat stuff like Katie’s no bake eclair cake made with *gasp* instant pudding. You know he’s dying inside but I bet he actually liked it. Lol! I think at this point most people think of Carla as just a tv host/judge, but she made it to the finals on her season of Top Chef and it seemed like she made really good food. I was glad to see Britt win her round, I like her a lot. I’d kind of like to see Antonia win this whole thing, but I also love Shota and can’t help but root for Jet to finally win. I can’t watch this live, I have to dvr it so I can fast forward through the same Little Caesar’s ad they show at every single commercial break. Ugh!

Really disappointed that Reba didn’t keep Noah. I think it was a mistake to keep both Ruby and the chick with the sunglasses, it seems like they will cancel each other out. I would’ve kept Ruby and Noah for sure, on the fence about the third choice. Also disappointed in Gwen’s decision to let Lennon go. The whole “bring back anyone from any team” thing has been a big anticlimactic let down so far. It really is ridiculous how many recaps they do in this show, yet they couldn’t be bothered to show all the knockout performances last week. It’s horrible when they just montage people completely out of the show without showing a proper goodbye.

I thought it was funny that Melissa’s character Amy on Brooklyn 99 is so smart and competitive, but then Melissa didn’t do so great here. Amy would’ve been so mad! 🤣 I’ve always liked Steven Weber, he seems like a nice guy.

Totally. Who calls themself Iceberg? All I kept thinking of was iceberg lettuce. Her voice was nice but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. I wish Walking Eagle had gotten a turn. He seemed like a gentle soul with a beautiful smile.

I watched the movie “The Peanut Butter Falcon” a couple weeks ago and Jon Bernthal plays the deceased brother of Shia LaBeouf’s character, appearing in flashback scenes. He’s really carving out a “dead flashback brother” niche!
