Ava said something about his “other family” so I’m thinking he left her and her mom and started a new family

Where is this show streaming?

I agree. I think it was the difference between Alaska where he could only play for a really short season, and Australia where he could play year-round. It’s something he really enjoys and it was an incentive for him to get excited about the move.

I also think they stop the cameras after they announce the challenge. Then they give more details and answer any questions. Then they start filming again for the “your time starts now” part. That’s why the bakers know what they are making. They have had time to plan off camera.

This was one of the most unexpectedly beautiful shows I have seen in a long time. Every single member of the cast deserves an Emmy. Great to see folks like Sally Struthers and Susan Ruttan getting such meaty roles and absolutely killing it. I loved every moment.

Except they haven’t done twists all season I think.

Yes! Why not call the police officer and tell her what she figured out? And then go ahead and set up a sting with the police already in place?

I loved Barb in the cold open. “I will call your mother!”

Andy was the back up in case Rome had an idol or played his shot in the dark. Everyone knew Sol was voting for Andy as backup. Rome was so sure everyone was voting Sol that he decided to shake things up by throwing a vote on Sam. He said so in the voting booth - that he was so sure everyone was voting Sol that his vote wasn’t needed.

I really like the growth in Ava over the seasons. She’s really become invested in the school and the kids and is actually doing a good job as principal.

I think they said the nurse wasn’t there and that week. It’s pretty common for school nurses to rotate among several public schools.

Wife. They were two women

I’m also pretty sure that after John explains the challenge, they turn off the cameras and give a much fuller explanation of the rules etc. then turn them back on for the “race” to the ingredients/choices. They do this on Top Chef. So the contestants probably have more time to come up with their idea.

I’m pretty sure we did see the deaf student. It was a story line about getting an interpreter for her. Edited to add DearEvette explains it better above

There was also a deaf student.
