I have (obviously incorrectly) been speculating that for weeks. Are the General Hospital viewers still that strong a voting block? They don't have a cross-over with Lea, Alfonso, or Janel? (And personally, I'd much rather see Tony shirtless than Antonio.)

Aww, that was the only reason I've seen that truly tugged at my heartstrings. And I'm a dog person. I was kind of hoping that when she left, Guy was going to offer to pay for the surgeries needed. It felt like they were going to go there. Poor kitty!

Re: Mrs. Warren I thought we'd have other Mrs. Warrens in that category -- the Amityville Horror lady, the daughter of Justice Earl Warren who married a talk show host, actress Lesley Ann Warren, an All American girls pitcher, a romance novelist, etc.... Weird that we'd get 5 clues on Liz Warren.

I also watch for him and I'm in my 40s. I remember him in Silver Spoons with my 'tv-boyfriend' Ricky Schroder.

When my 42 year old fat ass-et gets the call to be on DWTS, I want to be Derek's partner. I still have great ankles for rhythmic flicking and would much rather sit on a park bench and toss umbrellas around. Sitting with an umbrella and Derek to Singin In The Rain = 10. Dancing with an umbrella and Sharna to Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious = hard work and a 9. Seriously, I'm a bigger household name at my house than any vlogger.

Or a surprise visit from the Board of Health -- realistic and fun!

As an IT professional, my only complaint was the chip, like everyone above me. Disable wireless and disconnect from the network completely! Heck, to be doubly sure, remove the machine from the domain and work at your local Panera!! Disappointed that the helicopter pilot died -- she seemed cool. Agree with everyone who was pleased that Bishop was contained. And if we ever have to meet "Jake", I'd appreciate it if he was wearing a State Farm shirt and khakis.

Adjusts tin foil hat and casually puts giant target on back of my cardigan set -- Bethany already has an injury? Already? Sure she might, but it feels like Derek's partners always get the medical personnel (and thus a sob story) early. Sure was amazing that the adrenaline pumping through her system not only got her through the dance, but helped her run across the dance floor and up all those stairs.

Free Emma! I understand why Emma had to wear a two piece swimsuit for that routine, but why was Michael wearing my granddad's bowling league summer uniform after an accident with a bedazzler? Seriously, this guy is creepy.

I'd vote for them if they did that! Edited to add - I think for content, Lea's jive and Janel's foxtrot were probably the most appropriately content-filled dances. That said, my favorite music for Tavis's and Alfonso's -- but how does one samba to Getting Jiggy? The septuagenarians were pretty good -- they tried soo much harder and had far more content than Waltrip. (Heck, they had more content than Antonio Sabato and Johnathon from Mean Girls.)

When Lone Star was starting to hunt for the missing gulf grouper, they even climbed through their car. Umm, were they going to attempt to cook fish that had been unrefrigerated in the car for the length of their prep time (30 minutes minimum is my guess, but I think closer to an hour?) If so, I'm relieved that the poor diner didn't get the grouper. Yuck. E coli anyone?

While I'm way too prudish to 'appreciate' Tommy Chong, I thought Peta really did a routine that suited him, from the Snoop Doggy Dog music to her herbaceous costume to Cheech driving the car filled with smoke effects -- she understood him and his fan base. She also found moves that he could perform and danced in front of him for the rest of the performance. I really enjoyed it! (Shocked!)

Did anyone else have screen visual problems? Carrie Ann kept disappearing from view! And I liked her (Carrie Ann Inaba's) dress.

Someone I don't care for at my office ran into the water cooler chat on DWTS (pro-Alfonso; anti-Lolo overall) and mentioned that he watched cause he and his wife are friends with Michael Waltrip. Seeing as he came across as a narcissistic, gross older guy, I had to share! And yes, yes, yes on Randy -- cauliflower ears, false teeth, but man can he move. Loved him. Alfonso was my favorite though!

The food presented to Tyler was a significant improvement to the food served to patrons for the past couple of seasons. I nearly fell off the couch when Tyler pointed out that the food wasn't worth the prices being charged. Immediately, I was taken back to the Hawaiian truck last season. Remember their fried spam sandwich, served with mayo on white bread and a small handful of potato chips? That team even joked about serving lean food -- they marketed the heck out of their food though. Want to know why Tyler waited so long on the tasting challenge? He didn't want the Military Mom's menu! Talk about price gouging -- pb&j, hot dogs, and grilled cheese. I love those foods, but I want them in a manner I either can't make them at home or with elevated ingredients I might not have readily available. (This is only a critique of foo, not of their association to the military.) I loathed the bikinis instead of shirts in the food truck, but think the California beach fish taco sounded tasty. I probably would have eaten their cuisine. Bok choy/ spicy fish/ fried kale sounds delish! I'd also try the Middle Feast because I adore shwarma and kabobs. The Texas truck -- I don't know. Quesadillas are so easy to make at home with leftovers or grab an inexpensive one at Moe's/ Chipoltle/ QDoba/ Baja Fresh/ etc...And I adore bacon, but I don't know that the bacon guys are creating anything that special either. I sort of think they should be making their own bacon out of pork belly, but they don't have that kind of time. I had incorrectly assumed that California had this thing wrapped up.

I work down the street from his garage/hq. I'll be keeping my eyes open for video cameras and Emma! (A lot of the mechanic types guys wear uniforms with the logo on it and eat at McAlisters, which I normally hit once a week for lunch, so I'll eavesdrop too.)

Last week, it was all about the mournful Johnny Cash for me and this week - Judith Light and Ken Kercheval. Sure the younger actors are pretty, but the mature folks can bring believability into this camp!

Until we found the DA on the bridge ready to jump, I was sure it was the wife. I even thought the wife had taped him reading stuff in trials and was played it to her voicemail and set him up. I was a bit surprised that he was actually on the bridge. Of course, she could still be the murderer. Very few others have been introduced. I don't think it was the fellow waitress at the bar. I don't think it was the prison guard. It's either an as yet unidentified political rival, the wife, or someone involved in the trial. And seriously writers -- he needed to be on the Tobin Bridge between Boston and Chelsea, not some fake bridge. (Charles Stuart, a wife and baby murderer who claimed his family was killed by an armed black man when he did it, committed suicide off the Tobin.)

The only thing I got out of that episode was a desire for gelato. Military Moms food seemed lackluster. I'm a huge advocate of supporting military families, but I'd rather send a donation to the American Legion or the Fisher House. I have no doubt that my grilled cheese is tastier than theirs. Ditto my PB&J and my hot dogs. But, I tend to blend multiple cheeses on artisan breads and I'm a sucker for church fair or farmer's market jams. At this point, I think Cali's going to win. They are the ones taking advantages of social media. Cali, Madres and Middle Feast are the trucks making food that might be harder to find in some parts of the country. I'd like to see Madres or Middle Feast win, but they need to step up their games.

I was so sure that the guy got killed by the landlord in order to up the rent. So sure. And I was really puzzled by the age of the kidnapped son. So, then I thought perhaps the son was faking the crazy and was just avoiding work, living the life of no-stress in an upscale institution (which that really wasn't), and had planned the entire kidnapping and given the money to the deceased. I'm still a little puzzled as to how the murder occurred (seriously, in the new trendy part of town, no one noticed ice being hauled into an apartment?) Lengthy statement on a/c: And as a former Bostonian, let me (hopefully) explain the air conditioning issues. Older buildings are rarely equipped with central air. In theory, this would include the police precinct. (In reality, if it had a holding area for prisoners, this is inaccurate. The prisoners would sue and win.) Additionally, the electric would be older and potentially not able to handle any more load. I used to work in IT for a college. My help desk was in the sub-basement of a 1912 library. We did have 3 windows, all equipped with window units. Those would supplement the overloaded air conditioning in the building to keep it at about 83 and swampy in the room when we had a heat wave. The actual server room was safely in a new building -- it was just the people who were uncomfortable. Fortunately, the university saw the error in this and relocated us to the icy cool, new gymnasium basement. (Sure the spinning studio next to my office got loud, but the cool was worth it!) The library got remodeled by donations from generous alums and now it's lovely.

Why? Of the original three, he's the only one that knows ballroom. Of all four, I think he's the least biased. (Julianne seems to dislike Maks and Val; Carrie Ann falls for any showmance; Bruno wants the good looking men undressed; Len just wants good dancing that sticks to the rules.) I'm waiting for the contestants to be announced to determine if I'm going to watch this year.

I'm a prude. I know it. No matter how good the Cali hot dog or fish tacos looked, I'm not buying them from a woman in a bikini top. Leaving early is the kiss of death on this show. Can't believe the grads didn't know that. And their marketing -- yikes! Impressed that Madres got a tv station out, but why didn't they reach out to Spanish radio as well -- I think Arizona would have a high percentage of Latinos and their 'made-by-Mom' food would possibly be highly popular with Latinos who may not have their mothers nearby.

Hated the Angela scenes -- she is too good an actress to waste here. Enjoyed the case. I was happy the guy wasn't guilty and was able to reunite with his son. I was also thrilled that the boyfriend didn't do it (I was incorrectly predicting that they normally boat that weekend, but due to an off track blizzard/ the perfect storm/ red tide that the alibi was going to be blown apart. So glad Jane wasn't right. (That's not to say I liked the boyfriend. The wife/mother had really bad taste in me.)) Maura and Korzak (and Maura with the new tech girl) were great! It was nice to see a little more Isles. Hated Jane's take on the sexy librarian. This is where the books and the tv series definitely don't match up. The character in the books, which predates the tv series, has Jane as a frumpy, frizzy-headed detective who never uses her gender.

Did the Chatty Chicken folks just want a vacation courtesy of the Food Network? I thought the handful of dishes they put out looked great, for the record. How much time did they lose between pan frying the first day, forgetting the cash box on the first grocery store run on day 2 and forgetting the keys to the lockbox on the second grocery store run? I was very pleased that a blind taste test was part of the contest this week. The past couple of years have focused less on the quality and quantity of the food and more on the marketing and final cash count.

If memory serves, Louis does have nice Jewish parents who retired to Florida. I seem to remember him calling them once to tell them something about his BFF Harvey.I think his mother needs to step it up though. Louis has to be 40, single and a lawyer. Heck, I'd marry that, but, oy vey, I'm a shiksa. And that letter of resignation made me tear up. I just wish he'd left earlier and gone up against Harvey and Jessica on the side of the SEC. Does Rachel get last pick of the wardrobe? Donna, Jessica and Katrina all had some great looks and Rachel was in a sad little cardigan.
