I KNOW!! I wondered if someone did say something to her because it didn't look that bad after the first couple of times. What is WRONG with people? Let's hold the buzzer in one hand and SLAM down on it with the other :/

Brass. Pulls. Kill me now. Will this craptastic trend never end?

West Hollywood. Cute house on the outside, I like cottage-y looking houses. The inside was a disaster, though. Agree with the pass through being odd and potentially unsafe. I thought with the hood right there it would be hard to see through to the other side. And we have the happy return of brass fixtures. :/

Yay!!! It's back :) I thought the desserts were pretty good this time (I say that coming off of the Halloween Championship where I thought they weren't that great) All the bakers looked good, no over the top "caricatures" like there have been in the past.

Yes, YES and yes. Super. 2 weeks of board jumpers (probably) Me, too! Too bad it fell of deaf ears. For a second, I had hope.

Charlestown, nice house. I wish this brass mixed with chrome fixture phase would go away. I wish brass would go away. No matter how good the rest of a design is, as soon as I see brass I'm out. Too much going on in that kitchen, I thought. Moroccan tile backsplash? Wood beams? 2 foot window seat? Idk. I guess if they like it all.......

I wish someone would invent a silent clicker. I realize it would probably need to be renamed but that's ok. Is that really so hard to do? :(

No takers this season? I wasn't impressed with the hour long preshow. A couple of good questions, but that game was a stupid waste of time. It'll be interesting to see how things pan (haha) out for Parker and his new lease. I hope this thread doesn't die. I like the show and seeing everyone's comments.

I liked it, too. I'd love to see them on HH Renovation and see how it turns out.

Without Quartermasters, and other non-combat units, battles couldn't be fought :) Loved the side by side of Adam's movie & the Hogan's Heros episode. Loved even more the real pics of George Segal during his (albeit not WWII) service.

Right! Not to mention they must have beamed themselves home again. I heard one of them say something about "today" indicating everything that took place was that recent, yet there they were back at their office. So, Ralph....who keeps him when Paige is so far away? I know they can't show everything, but a mention? Yeah this show is so far out as to never be believable, but I like it.

The shows last night showed me, once again, how arbitrary JJ is in what she allows in her "court". Forgive me, I'm really bad at remembering names, etc., but hopefully my point comes across..... The girl and the "next Friday movie" - almost all her answers were "yeah" "mmmhmmm" (what happened to "it's YES"?) Did she really pass away? I couldn't find anything. Another case with the guy standing with arms folded...not a word from JJ. Any other time it's "UNCROSS YOUR ARMS". So, nothing big in the scheme of things, just thought yesterday's episodes were full of people getting away with gestures, phrases, etc., that usually don't fly.

American Ninja Warrior being another. It's very refreshing. I felt so bad for Guillermo when his handle broke :(

Agreed. Isn't that the way with most shows now, though? You can tell producer driven drivel a mile away. Just let us watch the SHOW. The time they take up with that crap could be used better by taking more time seeing how the bakers, I don't know, bake. :/

That's what I said! Kind of odd..... I'm in that minority with you. Not a fan. Agree with those who posted about the candy stuffed cookies, they sounded gross.

Yes he was. Agree :) Yes, there were those who didn't hate him, so I didn't mean to paint with a broad brush. Just seemed like all around, not just here, there was a lot more dislike for him and I would've never thought he'd win America's favorite. I agree with you though, I did like that he didn't fall for Paul for one second.

I thought she said something to the effect of "When Christmas couldn't use her body" she took her game in another direction. My 2 thoughts are, 1 - when Cody was IN the house, it seemed like everyone (viewers) hated him. Why all the love now? I get that he was the only one Paul couldn't control, but that was his only redeeming attribute, wasn't it? He clearly didn't want to be in the house or in the jury house, hated all the other house guests (can't blame him there) but HE chose to be on BB. So, guess I'm missing something :) 2 - I'm not a Paul fan, not at all. But, from my standpoint, he played the game every.single.second. he was in the house. Someone up thread said they wished people would vote FOR someone instead of AGAINST someone, and I agree. Not that he would've won, but like someone - sorry my memory is so bad! - Raven? said - true he had help the first few weeks but after that?? THEY kept him in the house, they had plenty of chances to get rid of him. Aside from all that, did anyone notice at the end when all the hugging/mugging was going on, Kevin's arm was stuck between 2 people?? He literally had to yank his arm out! And he didn't look too thrilled about it, either ;)

Someone should storm out every.single.time to silence any accent. I'm beginning to think he had it written in his contract that there MUST be clues which he can read with a French accent at least twice a week, with the word "genre" thrown in for kicks and giggles. That's bad enough. Other accents? Please stop. STOP.

Yes to all the above. Darci Lynne has actual talent, it will be interesting to see where life takes her. Evie Claire can NOT sing. Your description is perfect, I never know how to describe this horrible trend. Un-enunciation. Exactly. I also call it talk-singing. No matter what it's called, I hate hate hate it and hope people actually start singing again. Preacher. I think he has potential! I could see him being good, but sadly, he has not been good lately and last night was indeed painful. It seemed to me he was phoning it in, taking up a great deal of time with the stupid facial/jerky movements rather than actual comedy. Like he couldn't be bothered to write (much) new material. I don't get how Howie and the others fawned all over him, comparing him to some comedic greats. For real?? Chase was good the first couple of times but agree they all sound alike. The fast talking I can live without. I just need to say this. We've seen the SAME sob stories now for weeks. I'd rather have a 1 hour show just showing the (in some cases alleged) talent than a 2 hour show just for the sake of reiterating these same stories. Again. How about we just call it America's Got Sob Stories? The talent would be no less secondary than it is now. I feel for these people, honestly I do! I am so sorry Evie lost her dad this week. But there's a place for this kind of thing and repeating it ad nauseam on a TALENT show isn't it. One more thing. Mel B. Really????? Tyra. Seriously??? It wouldn't hurt my feelings if we had a new host and at least a couple new judges next year. If it's like this going forward, I'm out. Well. I needed that rant and now I feel better :) Darci for the win.

YES to everyone mentioning backstories. SO sick of them (I feel for those going through hard times, but this isn't the showcase for it) Had they not done the teacher video, the dog video, etc., etc., guess what there would have been time for? Anyone? That's right. The RUNS. Would be lovely if anyone from ANW actually saw these posts........................ Sad Drew fell and the Weatherman didn't make it. Would have loved either of them (or Najee who is also awesome!) to have made it all the way.

It does, doesn't it!? But then they couldn't call him "LRH" ;D Absolutely. Sadly, they just let it happen, and like others have said, he has bodyguards at the ready. Let Davy take his 'tough' self ANY where else and see how that goes down.

lol me, too! I almost added <looking at you, Raven> after that comment but deleted it. Idk why :/

I agree. But, isn't that kind of the definition of "puppetmaster"? Just about everyone did his bidding and at the end of the day thought "they" were his true alliance. Idk....love him or hate him, in my mind he's the one who played the game.

Thank you! We just heard JJ say "WHAT did you say???" and knew we missed it.

Did you hear what he said? We thought it was over, too, and weren't paying attention.
