    I've read that some of the women spend tens of thousands of dollars on clothes to wear on the show, so props to Katie for being more sensible than that.

     

    Jillian Harris (who made final 3 on Jason Mesnick's season as the Bachelor and later became the Bachelorette) said on her blog that she took out a second mortgage on her home to buy her wardrobe for the show.

    They aren't even trying to hide the stupid producer manipulation anymore, this is just embarrassing. It was bad enough when they brought in a bunch of new women for drama's sake, but if they set up this "this rando shows up from Colton's season and wont leave unless we change every rule this franchise has ever had to let her in super late into the season" scenario and go with it, I am going to throw something. Or, more likely, the women in the house are. 

    Colton's season is a bit of a blur, no wonder I forgot her. I started tuning out a bit after the 87th virgin joke. 

    My theory is they were considering her for the next Bachelorette or Bachelor in Paradise and wanted more camera footage of her to decide.  I vote no on both counts, but I am an ornery old cuss.

    I found Jane’s hosting persona “interesting” for an episode or two, but now it’s really grating.

    I feel the same disappointment in Jane's hosting persona as I did with Leslie Jones on Supermarket Sweep. Jane tries to be cutesy and Leslie just s-c-r-e-a-m-s constantly.  Either way, it gets old fast!

    I am sure that it was very difficult for her but I have watched recent years and she has been steadily gaining, and like I said, looked heavier this week than ever before.  Valerie remarried some time ago, and seemingly happily, but no one ever knows what really is going on.

    I dislike Larraine. She just really annoys me, and IMO she is not nice to the bakers. I agree also that she doesn't ever taste the food.

    We call her "Gingervitis" because she's always complaining the bakers don't use enough ginger without actually tasting anything.

    Jacob talks too much about himself. Can't read a room. 

    He's the guy at work that when you see him coming, you jump top your feet and scurry off before he can park at your elbow and tell you for the 100th time about his backyard beach and 80's fanny pack collection.

  6. I had been secretly hoping the series finale episode would feature Red, Keen and the inept FBI folks all killed in a series of shootouts or massive explosions.  Followed by a shot of Glenn the beleaguered DMV worker cackling and counting a pile of money he earned for taking Red's empire down.  Alas, since Clark Middleton (who played Glenn) passed away, it's not to be.   But it will always be my preferred ending.

    Toastmasters was the best. Every human should be required to take at least one year of it before the age of 15. I don't even think they have Speech in schools any more. Or English classes.

    Toastmasters?  Is that like cheersing a lot?  (Kidding!)

    I can only hope that this season of KBC is better than we got for Holiday Wars, Holiday Baking Championship and that God-awful CandyLand mess.  

    I'll meet you in Licorice Lagoon!  I bailed after the first episode and I doubt it ever got better.  But full disclosure - I may be the only person on Earth who finds Kristin Chenoweth obnoxious instead of adorable.

    Yep, forever and always.  Her family must be so proud!  If she ever marries, just think of the wedding toasts --whoops, I mean the "cheers" the groom will endure.  Not to mention any eventual kids being confronted with Mommy's moniker.

    Has a rose ever been revoked?

    I think the closest thing that ever happened to a rose being revoked was when Jesse Palmer was the Bachelor back in 2004.  In the very first rose ceremony he called a woman named Katie's name and gave her a rose. Then he pulled CH aside to reveal that he had meant to say Karen instead.   The producers let him hand out an extra rose, but I doubt that made Katie feel any better about it.  He cut her in week 3, and cut Karen in week 4.

    Then I watched. I had liked Leslie Jones well enough, and thought her back story of truly loving the original would probably make her a great fit. Wrong. Leslie Jones absolutely kills it for me and I'm sad about it! Wah! The energy isn't "fun", it's effing frantic! I've watched for two weeks now and am so agitated by Leslie's non-stop screaming that I can't enjoy the show. Not even a little. STFU, Leslie! I won't be watching anymore episodes and I'm bummed about it. Boo. Hiss.

    You might want to watch it muted with closed captions on if you like the show, just not the screaming.  I listen to the first part of the game (while they are earning their sweep times), because Leslie is more mellow then.  After that I mute it.  It's a relief to read "YAAAASSSS!!" in the closed captions instead of having to hear Leslie screaming it over and over.

    I also thought that Amelia was a bit offended when Bennett brought up cleanliness and her lack of washing the entire glass.  I think it's important to have some common areas of interests as well as one's own interests.  However, they are both so "quirky" that they could end up being too similar to each other.

    I'm not sure if it was offense or she was actually surprised to discover you wash the entire glass when doing dishes.  Makes me wonder about her knowledge of and adherence to medical hygiene practices.  You can be sure I'd never visit her in a professional capacity at this point.  

    I'm glad they found one another, because I couldn't imagine either of them inflicted on anyone else.  My fear about them lasting long term is that she takes Bennett's willing nature as a license to use him.  She played along with the little game about dividing up the household chores, but left to her own devices she would never have brought it up and just let him do it all or it wouldn't get done.  She's decided that she is the breadwinner, period, and he will do everything else, which is apparently how her parents handled things.  She's impressed that she's a doctor and just waiting for him to accept that he's her inferior.

    My 2nd graders teacher keeps saying “fusstrated” 

    My MIL says "flusterated" and while giving me a recipe, said I could change the ingredients depending on whatever "fixations" I had on hand.  I really have to bite my tongue to "dill" with my "fillins" around her.

    That's just weird.  How many mugs do two people need?  There are somewhere around 50 mugs hanging on that wall.  Who thought that looked good or interesting?  I've worked in places where there was a wall rack for everyone to keep their own mug, but who would do that in their home?

    I'd guess they regularly have large groups of people over from church.  And in her case, if the family comes to visit, it tends to be in large groups.

    As for male to female ratio in Alaska  I don't know I've never researched the statistics. It may vary for area to area. All I know is the area Evan went to had more available young females and have a yearly bachelor calender made and have a town auction single men can put themselves in while the girls all make bids to win a date. It's a real fun time. Evan was in one of those auctions and the winning bid was made by the girl he is with now, with their new beautiful son.

  16. You know what would have been interesting, considering the biggest story line thus far is how Oliver is a divisive outlier who isn't working with the group's best interests? Some footage of how it came to be that Gerrid and Christine were chosen to move into the first completed shelter.   Did Andrew and Jennifer decide that?  Was there a group discussion?  A vote?  A rock-paper-scissors contest?  Were there any hard feelings on anyone else's part?  Instead of giving us a glimpse into the process by which these decisions are being made (which might help us understand Oliver's viewpoint), the show just glossed right over it with a quick narrative statement that those were the two chosen to move into the first shelter. 

    I hope as the season progresses, we get to see Christine do something without giggling the whole time.  I have a terrible feeling she and Gerrid are being set up as a showmance couple who will have a big mid-winter cabin fever divorce.

    Look out, Adam!  Andrew is an insecure passive-aggressive, who will find fault no matter what you do.  I hope it stays below freezing consistently enough from here on out that the moose doesn't spoil, or it will all be your fault for building that smokehouse without using those plans he never mentioned.

    I think they did but I don't remember how long it was.  This appears to be their project.  If any of them will stay and stick out the winter, it will probably be them.  Oliver will probably go live in the beaver lodge, and go full beaver.

    According to this online article, Andrew and Jennifer have been living in the area five years:  https://www.thecinemaholic.com/100-days-wild/  

    Causes me to give even more side eye to their apparently inability to land a moose or catch more than 5 salmon before the others arrived.  If I were a participant, I think I'd quickly feel like I'd been recruited as slave labor to help them develop their own wilderness camp business, sold to me as the opportunity to appear on a reality show.

  18. I either don't like the ringleaders (Andrew & Jennifer), or I'm not liking the way they are being edited.

    For someone who's been living off grid in the area for some time, Andrew appears not to know much about where the good moose hunting terrain is located.  If the new people really began arriving with less than 5 days of moose hunting season left, wouldn't that be an indication Andrew was an unsuccessful hunter for the majority of the season already elapsed? Once rogue guy was camped and trapping for beavers in the same area, why not canoe on to a different area to look for a moose, doubling the chances of someone bringing some food home? 

    Adam shows up and does more work overnight than we've seen anyone else do, plus successfully hunts a grouse.  Jennifer's response?  That Andrew is going to be upset about not being there to approve Adam's work and then actually admonishes Adam that they don't want to become dependent on hunting for small game like grouse all winter.  Way to take the wind out of his sails, considering you and Andrew only landed 5 of the 300 salmon you were responsible for.

    At this point I'm hoping for a "Lord of the Flies" type takeover with Andrew and Jennifer tossed to the wolves.

    I really think the producers tell Colt Tea to adjust his glasses at just the right moment, like everytime he says some dumb shit it's punctuated by a finger to the glasses. God, he's just so doughy.

    Body language experts say someone touching their face or adjusting their hat or glasses while talking to you is a classic sign of deception.  Colt Tea does it a lot.  Obviously you have to get to know a person to see if it's accurate where they are concerned, but I don't think it's difficult to tell he's a continual liar, regardless.

    I also wondered why she didn't take some extra furs or something out with her when ice fishing to wrap around her feet while she was just sitting on the ice. That might have given her a little extra time to fish before having to return to camp for a toe warming session.

    I've seen pictures of people ice fishing who have small fires on the ice nearby.  I kept wondering why she didn't haul several batches of spruce boughs out there and have them ready to light one at a time when her toe got cold so she could fish longer.

    I liked Taekwondo brides dress but I wish they'd stop being so gimicky on this show. I get that as a small business its a great opportunity to advertise but all of them wearing the uniforms and then breaking the boards (also am I just being bitchy or am I right it can't be difficult to do if Randy who hasn't any training can do it?).

    I found myself wondering how many "takes" there were before Randy managed it,
