My husband takes a drug that discolors his T-shirts. He uses Clorox for all his whites, and it gets rid of the discoloration, brings them back to white.
He may need to be careful that he gets the right one each time. While shopping last night, I checked out the Clorox section at each store, and it appears that Clorox is selling a few different formulas with similar front labels. On the back, one doesn't even promise anything but disinfecting, while at the other extreme, there's a prominent warning about how caustic it is.

That show's seemed to bounce around quite a few channels over the years.
Channels running old shows change their lineup to keep things fresh. Something with a lot of seasons, like The Andy Griffith Show, will stay put better than The Monkees, which only has two.

You need to meet my mom post-haste :D. She's a die-hard Monkees fan as well-loved them since they first came on the scene back in the day. She'd get a kick out of your collection.
BTW, the FETV channel currently runs four episodes of their show on Saturday mornings.

You can't tell me there is no way they can't find a qualified chef?
I suspect there's a "for what they're willing to pay" involved. Reality shows are supposed to be cheap to produce and this one has the costs of a yacht and BTS crew limiting what they can spend elsewhere. In peak charter season, getting a qualified chef willing to be on camera and quickly enough not to disrupt shooting would have been expensive.

Pigeon poop? How do grown adults like Allison Grodner think something that a ten-year-old boy (not your target audience) would find funny is appropriate?
Isn't an ongoing aspect of this show humiliating the competitors? Squirting the HG's, no matter what you call the stuff, is in the same vein as the Three Stooges;, I prefer something less slapstick, like the BB comics. It looks like they forgot about their theme again. Pigeons hang out around cities and cliffsides. You don't see them while camping. They could have easily picked another bird (and adjective if necessary).

$17k is not a good tip for FOUR DAYS!
...Despite Capt. Yawn proclaiming it as a good tip.
She probably meant for the experience the guests received. How many times have we seen guests get jerked around because Sandy hasn't figured out how the weather works in that area, or decides that the boat needs to be moved? And some guests care that the food is not being prepared by a real chef. If you're dropping around $100K for a charter (tips are customarily 15-20%), you want the best.

If, as Buddy said, he and Cherie go back five years, to 2012, where's this episode been for the last two years? Are they clearing off the shelves rather than shoot anything new? I thought we were done hearing from Nev's wife.

You actually can still use Clorox for laundry, but it has to be 100% cotton.
It wasn't working for me. I even tried mixing up a wall-washing batch, something that used to turn an old t-shirt into brilliant white shreds, and nothing. To be fair, It's been a few years since I last tried it, but the company stopped running any ads touting it as a bleach; it's only been pushed as a disinfectant.

I guess it's b/c we live in a germophobic society, but why are the people in the Clorox bleach commercials disinfecting their bathtubs for no good reason?
Since Clorox bleach has become worthless for traditional uses, like laundry, they need to come up with other reasons for people to buy it.

That's not Flo. The woman is a Progressive customer.
How is it a good thing for a customer to have to spend so much time with her insurance agent that she's introducing him to her family? The ads used to brag about how quick and easy things were because of that pricing tool they had.

I like the one with Flo introducing the new agent to the family.
I think it's the teenage boy going, "You're not my dad!" Cracks me up every time.
IIRC that gets yelled at Jamie, who's been in a few ads, usually as the butt of a joke.

I don't think it's wrong, lol, but she would just vehemently defend the show, and in the end, she was only watching it because she thought a character was cute. 🤣
TBBT changed radically over the seasons, as the characters aged along with the actors, so it was easy for someone to lose interest (or pick some up).

I don't like the cartoon bear commercials where baby bear left his underwear on the floor, and the parent bears are all "I'm not gonna pick that up."
At least they got the kid to pick up what he left on the floor without having to yell at him.

Tierney was a super hot handler. How did she even find out about the Tereshkova's black box if only Xander and the Professor knew what it was, and only the Professor knew where it was ?
The whole black box plot was ridiculous. Black boxes are designed to be as easy to find as possible. The ones on airplanes are painted bright orange. No way should anyone have been able to claim it was some mundane piece of equipment, and they needed a better explanation of why the group was able to find it when searchers couldn't.
4 hours ago, ottoDbusdriver said:At least the 'study group' didn't steal a spaceship for once.
There was a line or two near the end of a previous episode suggesting that the Professor had arranged to let the group get away with "stealing" a ship. They're overusing the trope of bad guys using unsuspecting good guys for their own purposes.
This series reminds me of the scene in The Big Bang Theory where Penny is shooting Serial Ape-ist 2.

Yes - I actually liked their ending --in some ways it was more bleak for them to be stuck down there for all time -- hating each other
The episode title was a bit of a spoiler though.

Jackson, whether you like him or not, came across as smart and self aware in this episode. First, for immediately understanding why America voted for them. Second, for thinking of shaking the eggs. Third, for managing to convey this info to Analyse without Christie realizing.
Self aware, but not necessarily that smart. All he had to do was remember the shaking trick from when this comp was used in BB18 (not that long ago). I don't think Analyse needed the hint. Either she saw BB18, or had already seen Jackson doing it; he wasn't as subtle in shaking his eggs as he should have been.

How did we get from a camping theme to space aliens???
There is a connection between camping and alien sightings/abductions, but it's generally no more than a few campers out in the middle of nowhere, rather than a summer camp kind of thing. I think they were reusing props and costuming they had on the shelves, but it would have fit better if they'd gone with spoofing Friday the 13th and other horror movies with a similar setting.

I was so startled when Julie said “gyp”, obviously she didn’t mean anything derogatory but that’s not the point. I learned the origins years ago, and it is certainly a slur, which surprised me at the time. We are all still learning. (And it is spelled gyp, not jip)
I remember the idea being floated years ago and discarded because the use of the word was considered too far removed from its origins; region is probably a factor here. BTW, it annoys me to hear "racist" misused. It no more applies in this case than if someone insulted Italians or Texans.

Space zombies -- really ? How original ?
Same for having main characters get infected, and a ship on its way to destroy everything, although just one of those tropes is usually considered enough to create the sense of urgency to wrap things up by the end of the episode.

So production wanted to make a HG look like a dick?

The only thing they missed is going to the bathroom LOL
Some people take care of that before they leave work, in case it takes much longer than they expect to get home.

But try to avoid being knocked into wells in the first place. Try *hard*, zombie or not.
But, there are at least three different ways somebody could use zombie strength to get out, so a zombie doesn't have to be as careful.

There was a splash, but it was much quieter than the one for Blaine. DonE may have hit more feet-first, but I think falling on Blaine is what the writers had in mind, and we didn't hear him react because his head was pushed underwater.

Ravi set the scan to return to Saxon's retina after it read Charli's. Duh.
Considering the consequences of a mismatch, you wouldn't want any false alarms, so it's almost certain that the scanner allows multiple images to be on file for someone. That means that Ravi could add Charli's to those of Saxon, and the system would be happy to match either person.

The McDonalds ad with the "Summertime" song. Everyone is having a horrible time except the woman eating an unwrapped burger while wearing light beige khakis, Which in real life would have ketchup and mustard on them within seconds.
And grease. Unlike BK, McDonalds doesn't do anything to get rid of the fat, instead calling their burgers "juicy" and making it a selling point.

Maybe she's watching her carbs and wasn't sure until she got there if she was going to eat the bread, or just snack out of the jar.
