OMG, look at this! Golden-Con: The First-Ever Golden Girls Fan Convention Is Coming to Chicago in 2022

Game play is how well your food fits the challenge - so if it's supposed to be a "Fried Feast" - it needs to be a feast, for example, and not just a couple of wings, and much of it needs to be frieds not just one component. Or if they have to incorporate a specific ingredient, how well did they embrace that? did they just hide or throw a sprinkling on the dish? These kinds of things.

I remember that episode but I didn't remember it being the series finale, lol. I guess that's a different kind of mental block.

I hate what Coral did to the hat. I thought Pajje's dress was dowdy. But even so, I think this runway was mostly good. I liked almost everything. And I'm glad one of the judges pointed out the weightiness of Katie's dress. Aside from the pattern, I couldn't figure out what looked off about it, and that was it. And that asymmetrical hem was all wrong. She seems sweet but she is so new to this and so over her head, it was time to go.

Call me crazy, but Hunter doesn't bother me one bit. I also still enjoy the show, although I do wish they'd go back to 3 rounds per show. I doubt they will though, pre-covid they were already mostly doing 2 rounds, and I'm sure they still have some heavy restrictions/requirements to filming (and who knows how long ago these were filmed - 6 mos? 2 mos? 8 mos? etc) so that could playing into fewer rounds and who they have on as judges - takes less time and crew (Hunter and Guy probably living together makes for smaller exposure??)

Count me in the unsmoked tobacco smell group, thanks for the reminder. :-)

Sharpies (or almost any permanent marker). Sawdust

The interior of this house looked small, but I did like the results. It was also on a larger lot with a nice pool. And, of course, Duke made an appearance. I wondered if he would given how Ashley discussed him in the first episode (not being part of the crew anymore but we'll see if he pops up, or something like that).

Today's episode was Simplified Thanksgiving (or something like that) and the chefs were anything but simple, lol. Mark Murphy did raviolis with homemade pasta dough, Mike V did a massive turkey cutlet Japanese katsu style, and the used other turkey parts to make the gravy, etc, and so on. (There was more food and chefs than this, of course, I just don't remember all the dishes, lol). It all looked really good, of course, I just laughed at "simple". Granted, so did Guy during the intro.

I just started watching this show today - they had a mini marathon this morning. Not bad. Overall the houses look better after, but some of the design choices look odd to me - like they don't go together well, but if the homeowners are happy, that's all that matters.
