Apparently, I'm the only one here who thought DiCaprio was 10 years younger. Good gracious, he looks good! Never heard of Redmayne, but if I ever made it onto Jeopardy!, I'd have topics which i know nothing about: opera (other than La Boheme, Porgy and Bess, or Aida), astronomy beyond the seventh grade, Oscars/Tonys/AwardsCelebritiesVoteThemselves, or Tonight's Megamillions numbers as categories --- guaranteed!

Excited for the new champ. I too thought the librarian had this and can only wonder if she thought no one else would know the answer.
Also, Alec was kind of rude introducing Tucker. Yes, he has been a great wagerer and he did technically get both FJs wrong, but one was because he gave the correct island names instead of their countries. I am still mad about that.

Such a strange episode. I can understand folks not knowing jicama (I would have spelled it for safety. I think it is Hic-ca-ma) and Can't Buy Me Love, but Gout? Odd. I thought FJ was crazy hard. I remember hearing in college that Nostrodamus was Greek (and he predicted a mass murder at every college with a cemetery on a hill in the new world (which of course, perfectly described mine) and that it had been on Oprah (it wasn't)).

While Tucker is just okay as a champ to me, I was concerned that he was going to lose for giving too correct an answer to FJ. I'm relieved that he lives to compete another day.

Does anyone think they should just crown Matthew and Food Network can be puzzled and confused when no one, especially not the coveted millennials, watches (and even tune out of C0rC or GGG when he judges)? I think I might have to root for that..

Loved Greenville's choice too. And, yes, she was a bit theatrical, but I think she is probably genuinely theatrical. The past two episodes I've seen (Idaho Falls) people have stayed in budget and honestly chosen a realistic choice that with a bit of work could be amazing. I love that! It isn't all new construction out there.

Just watched Idaho Falls and was thrilled that 1.) they had a normal people budget for their jobs and 2) they opted for the sensible commute/ best house for them. (And perfectly square, non-hilly lawns are easy to mow.)

For FJ, I knew the river was in Asia and I decided that the Great Wall of China could be considered a form of transportation. <face-palm>
At least I nailed Ouisconsin.

I always take it the first day since, I'm East Coast and go to bed at 9 PM (due to work) and I always would do better on another day. I wish they had an earlier window on a weekend. :( I got a pitiful 28 on Tuesday, but I aced the Wed test.

Took it last night, but too much pop culture for me. I'll have to find that board that shares out the answers. I know I got at least half right, but am rooting for over 35.

As an aside, since you are talking about cooking shows in general, both the ION and VICE channels have cooking shows. Mario Batali's show Moltissimo is on VICE. It wasn't great, he cooks for a few people while talking, but it wasn't awful either. The show about cooking with marijuana is actually interesting, even though I have no desire to cook with it. I've seen enough episodes that it is becoming repetitive, though.
ION has two newer shows, one is called Scraps and the chef goes to a location and shows how to use the entire part of a food. They did one with shrimp and using the shells and another using the grain left over from making beer. I enjoyed that one more than the other, but can't remember the name of it. Food Porn maybe?
As a cooking show aside, if I want recipes or techniques, I watch (or record) PBS. Jacque Pepin, Julia Child, Martha Stewart, Sarah Moulton, America's Test Kitchen -- great programs for relaying knowledge with limited drama. I watch Food Network when I can't find something else and it's too early to start my night time reading. I'll have to check out Scraps -- that's my kind of program!

I am verklempt over Final Jeopardy. First of all, it was an instaget for me. The Westminster is mandatory viewing for me and the canine resident (a rescued mix breed) and the Jack Russell Terrier is presented at the show as the Parsons Russell Terrier. I was shocked that only one player knew the answer. I was more shocked that it was the (IMHO) only likeable contestant this episode. So, when he blew the math, I was horrified. The new champion will hopefully go down tonight -- there is something smarmy about him that rubs me wrong.

More dog, less people. Seriously, Non and the loser boyfriend ruin the show. Life isn't this hard: Hire a reputable and responsible dog walker for your adored pet instead of your gross, unemployed, unkempt druggie boyfriend.

I loved David's free style and like what I could see of Rashad's. (Those flashing lights were not a great call.) Normani's freestyle, while sweet with those two random children, was not what I enjoy. It almost came off as a contemporary, my least favorite dance style. (Put on some shoes and get off my lawn!) I'm not voting since Charo is not in it (I kid), but David's came across as the easiest to see of the 'fun' ones.
The vocalists should be shot for their rendition of Uptown Funk.

Of course the cliffhanger has the only two agents that I care about getting left to fight. If it was Bishop, would anyone honestly be rooting for her?

My favorite part of the show was the father-daughter cheap mini vacation. The matching t-shirts from the airport souvenir shop being sported by Kripke (okay Jimmy) and Dylan and the discussion of watching the rest rooms get cleaned was terrific. So glad that they took the cab out to the beach for a minute. They deserved the cab ride.
JJ's camp was amazing. Loved the bunk beds and the bonfire. That looked amazing.

Arrrrrrrrgh!! Why would Evan ever allow Emery to ruin his opportunity to attend St. Orlando's? That seemed so far fetched. And neither boy opted to caddy? It was $5; Jessica would be disappointed.

I just have to stress how much I adored the ballet recital. The rest of the episode was meh -- the ballet recital : genius. You know some Harvard ballet scout was there, right? :)

This is exactly why I would NEVER have helped Brooke in the first place. She would have been out then. Granted we'd have had the guy who had issues with the rappelling (and I didn't like him) but Brooke might have been out. Saving weaker people can backfire. (And I think Phil should have inquired about it on the mat.)

Michael helped Brooke and in return she agreed not to U-Turn him. But we've had two U/W-Turns since then, and she kept my her promise to him twice. I think the debt had been paid. And it was foolish of him to think that her indebtedness would last forever. Or even that he had any real reason to expect her to play honourably at all.

Loved David's comeback. That is how you do the classic "Let's make it a true Daily Double"!!!
And I also think he was sweating the Telegram answer.

It was great to see Howard Hessman as the admission guy at St. Orlando's! "I'll give you 5 minutes." "I only need 4." (Hessman was Johnny Fever on "WKRP in Cincinnati" 1978-82.)
He was also the honors teacher in Head of the Class, about a group of ap students at a public NYC city school. I thought the casting choice was brilliant and if Evan had simply said 'We live in north Orlando and my parents are both small business owners." he would have been in. When he said 'rent' I knew!

So, no family for the wedding and only McGee's office? What about workaholic Delilah's office? (And ditto to whomever commented on the two newbie agents and Mrs. Jimmy.) That said, Tim had time to pick up a tux? And honestly, a quickie wedding could have been held three days later with Delilah's parents and sister.
Tim and Gibbs moment made the episode (as did the always wonderful Delilah).
Overall, though I was thrilled. Tim, Gibbs, Ducky and Jimmy are the only characters I still care about. I want happiness for a couple of them. And I was a bit surprised that Ducky wasn't already a minister. Just seems like he would have that up his sleeve.

The more I watch this show, the more I believe the star is Diedrich Bader. He was good in The Drew Carey Show, but he is running circles around the rest of the cast here. I could have watched him dance for the full 30 minutes.

It's about time something didn't work (I'm looking at Bull for this next!). I loved no fears Sly -- I typically find Sly to be the high point of most episodes, though. Gabe was great as well -- he is looking the part of Mr. Howell, certainly. And I agree that Walt was insufferable. If I were Paige, I'd be dumping him quickly.

S07.E01: Cake Week
in The Great British Bake Off
I'm about to sound like my grandma, but what is wrong with Candice's lipstick? Thank goodness she appears to be a decent baker and I can avert my eyes.
