A good week, 4/5 with two *. I wasn't teased with an elusive 5/5, as I had no idea for Monday. Then unexpectedly reeled off four straight!

Like the horrid blood-red Christmas trees. Supposedly that was her idea.

Is it too much to hope for a Colbert Questionert with Elton in the near future?

That was my week exactly! Finally broke out of that 2-for slump. Let's hope it continues to go upward!

Even though she's a holier-than-thou pain in the arse, I can't help but feel a little bad for Anna. She's obviously eating her feelings. Every time it crosses her mind, which is probably often, that the good Christian man that God picked out for her turned out to be a pedophile who's now in prison, she has another handful of Doritos. The reality of her life has got to be painful. She's still a hateful bigot with horrible beliefs, but I feel a little bad for her. Just a little.

I can empathize.

Today is the anniversary of Pest's conviction, which was handed down on December 9, 2021. What were you doing that day? I took off from work and waited for the verdict in anticipation, then celebrated with the snark community!

As a Mets fan, I'm going to find it weird cheering on someone who could buy and sell me 100 times over.

UGH. That was my definition of her back in the day: a woman who travels the country telling women they should stay home. It was such an obvious, dishonest grift, but she made a good living off it.

2/5. There were only two non-* answers this week, I got those 😐

This wasn't a bad episode, apart from the implausibility of a hole that looks like it's basically a portal to the underworld, sitting in the middle of the floor with no barriers around it! No one's ever fallen into that thing? I like having Wendie Malick around. She and John Larroquette play well off each other.

Seth's was my favorite answer since Prince Harry was on, and gave as his 'rest of your life in five words': Freedom, Happiness, Clarity, Space, Love. Seth comes across as such a mensch. I know many celebrities are different from the image they project, but if it turned out he was some huge a-hole IRL, I'd feel very let down! I also love how he always wears a suit and tie when he visits Stephen, but not on his own show!

Or like when Rose was telling one of her long-winded stories, prompting this from Dorothy: "How many times are we gonna circle the airport, Rose? You wanna bring this baby in?"

Evan, please use your inside voice. Sarah reminded me of Laurie Metcalfe.

Going to LA was such a big change, I think some fans were put off by it. But there were some classic episodes: the gang goes on The Dating Game; L&S are extras in a movie; L&S get drunk at Bardwells eating rum candy; L&S crash a hippie party, inadvertently get stoned and almost get married to a couple of hippies (played by Eric Idle and Peter Noone!). Classic stuff!
