100%, the first thing they do is tell you they can check it for you. I had frosting in my carry on, I was making a birthday cake the moment I arrived, and she said since it can be spread, it's considered liquid. Whatever, we tossed it. Bur when I have scissors, and other "weapons" like nail clippers and tweezers, they just ask me to put them in my checked bag. I have never been shipped my own stuff. Especially how fragile those snowglobes would be.

This episode was when I decided I was in. I am already rooting for a mostly Black cast that isn't a "stereotypical Black" show (like preachy Black, or trauma Black). This is slice of life, in Atlanta, where Black folk live. Niccole Thurman plays Cory (the deceased wife) and I need her to have a twin so she can be a regular in the cast. She's the BEST. I'm here for this show as long as it lasts, hopefully more than a couple episodes. I love the cast, I do NOT like Fortune Feimster at all. She and Rebel Wilson are nails on the acting chalkboard to me. Weird thing to thank, but I'd like to thank Covid for making it impossible to do this show with a live audience. It would have died the same death as Abby's. Single cam no audience is much better for long term.

It was the most realistic early-term abortion storyline I have ever seen. Two of my friends had the two-pill chemical abortions, and I was the friend who distracted them during the crampy parts (and fed them, kept them cozy). It's almost never some horror film extraction like they like to imply in certain corners of the country. I've taken plan B, and had to take one (not two) of the abortion pills before my IUD insertion to soften my cervix, and it was almost the exact same side effects...just a lil queasy. I've never had an abortion, so I can't speak to how much pain she should have been in. But she matched how my friends responded to two pills.

You would not wanna hang out with me. Particularly in a grocery store.

I didn't know how much I missed Hanson until I heard them sing. They were right before all the Lou Perlman over produced boybands (which I also loved, I am a millennial!) and their indie sound wasn't hip at the time. Now it feels like a nice hug.

My 9 year old self identified the Hanson bros in about 10 seconds. They have these crisp falsettos and such strong harmonies. Also the clues fit, except I still want to know where 15 fits in, very possible that's the number of Hanson's now. They are all married with decent quantities of children. I was listening with my eyes closed and I could tell Taylor's voice from his bros. It literally felt like I was in a time machine. The three of them have 15 kids!!!

Trejo is Raccoon. My same guess! Funny enough, I thought snail was Kenan because when he sings in sketches, he makes his voice all kermit-y

Got it! Very helpful, thank you!

Yes, this is actually the first thing they tested for when I was a kid in the 90s. Not adhd, not dyslexia, they gave me a test for the gifted program. I was able to skip two grades (but refused). I annoyed my teachers and classmates because it was too easy to sit and learn stuff for 7 hours that I could master in 5 minutes. Also, I'm a girl, so fart-putty wasn't my style, but singing randomly mid-class was my weapon of choice. Every parent teacher conference from 3rd grade to 8th grade was about just how bored/disruptive I was in class. Got better in high school because you can take advanced classes without having to skip grades. On a lighter note, why is that kid actor SOOOO CUTE? He hasn't aged in 4 seasons! I didn't fully understand the thing with Rio's fingerprint. Can someone explain? I know she wants his fingerprints on the gun, but how did them being on paper help accomplish that?

Unfortunately, I relate a LOT to Madison. I would have to say, my mood swings are quite similar. I am the bubbly friend, and the silent introvert the moment I get home. I will panic over weight gain from a pregnancy if I am lucky enough to have one, and I also am at my calmest when others are most anxious. There's a contrarian tendency to Madison, she rarely shares the feelings of others in the room. If they are happy, she is reserved. If they are nervous or sad, she is usually quite confident and even bubbly (see Kate telling her she was pregnant in season 2). I don't have any mental health issues, outside of my former ED, so I don't find her dangerous. Not that people with mental illnesses are dangerous! I meant she's likely not a klepto. Sure, she's badly written, so her husband can fit her in more scenes. But there is something about Madison grounded in my reality. Even her going to overeaters anonymous when she needed to be in a body dysmorphia group setting is Madison being a contrarian. ETA: I'm also an event coordinator. And the exact same age as Madison. ETA2: I just realized you didn't mean actual jewels. *facepalm*

Since LA has the new mutation of covid, 1 out of 5 people in LA county were covid positive around Jan 1. This has shut down or delayed all TV production in Southern California. But, Mandy Moore was 7 months along at this point in filming. No one wants to infect the pregnant lead! Also, these recent episodes have required babies on set. Babies aren't really on set on any shows right now. They can't wear masks, get vaccinated, or stay 6 feet away. They should have done a full body shot of Rebecca as they were walking out of the room. Mandy's (surprisingly small real life pregnant) belly is spot on for how she'd look after delivering triplets. Most moms leave the hospital with their new babies still looking pregnant. Even princesses (Kate and Meghan). ETA: editing has been done at the last minute, missing things such as ovulation tests instead of pregnancy tests. Writing is tricky because right now almost every scene has to take place in a car.

My sister got a Sophie Giraffe for her first born (who happened to be all the parents first grandchild). They didn't know anything about why those giraffes are so beloved, but they all confidently called her "Sofia." It was so funny how mad it made my (sleep deprived first time mother) sister when all 7 grandparents (yes 7) would discuss Sofia. It's the little things in life that make me laugh.

I think they even had Madison mention last week that they were ready (size wise), aka no mandatory NICU for being preemies.

Mandy's full term belly is quite small, so she looks about 5 months pregnant with triplets. They haven't really explored that time frame, so I agree, use it while you've got it, writers!

That seems to be a terrible "take" to assume people wanted to say. I thought she'd say "Cinderella Story" because that's what my white friends know her from.

It's filmed quite a bit in advance. So they have a tiny audience (people who mostly work on the show), the judges, and "superfans" who get to vote in real filming time via phones. The winner is often decided in filmed episodes after only four episodes have aired to the public. They spend 4 weeks maximum filming these shows, but the seasons stretch to 2-3 months.

Because the jacket was tied on the guy's bloody leg.

OMG, I was born the night "someone shot JR" on Dallas. My dad is STILL annoyed at me. It was my due date! I'm sorry dude, I arrived at 11pm, I tried to make time for Dallas lol. Also, he missed my oldest sister being born, and I swear she hasn't stopped reminding him that was him abandoning her, so I totally understand Kevin. To be fair, my father was 20 and her mom didn't tell him she was in labor (Half sisters).

I re-watched earlier clue segments of the final three, and someone else did the early voiceovers for Sloth. The only time it's Maks (even with voice modulation) is in Word Up. I think a Russian tone to his voice (like Kelly Osborne did her lil country accent to hide her real voice) plus his energy level and skill would make it super clear he is a professional ballroom dancer. Thinking he's American, really gives room for a ton more guesses. I want the girls to win. I agree that the best are in the finale and hope this remains a patterns of Masked Dancer. It works fine to have the most likable (or hardest to guess.... hello T Pain/Rumer Willis) in the top three for singing, it's so objective. But dancing against a gymnast and two literal pros? No, Ice T shouldn't be playing through until the end. Wrong episode but I made my mom watch the first episode so I could spoil all the un-maskings for her, and she was SURE Disco Ball was Lionel Richie. Wait: We need to talk about something VERY important.. Why the fuuuh were the judges in their premiere outfits? How does that work? They referenced who they had guessed in the past and everything. I was too confused. The Tis' baby bump will always tell us where filming lands, chronologically.

Gabby Douglas also has a less recognizable voice. Simone's word-up would have shown her adorable helium voice. Final answer. Gabby is Cotton Candy, she said FIERCE, she had 5 gold balloons. She was in the "Fierce 5" at the Olympics in 2012, and the "Final 5" in 2016. That's her body type. Also, I think they put in a stepping segment as a lil wink so people realize she's a Black girl. Her legs are lean (in the rehearsal footage) which rules out any of the super muscular gymnasts. Maks married Peta from DWTS. It's NOT Val because he is too short to be the sloth. Also, Maks was so known for being a bachelor, he was actually on The (Ukranian) Bachelor, as the Bachelor. Mackenzie is absolutely the Tulip. I can't wait to see them all do their best next week. No reason to hide any skills or try to throw anyone off, just kill it out there. I adore the final three, but the little sister (with a perfect older sis) in me is rooting for Tulip.

I can see the future!

No reason to think Kevin didn't have a passport. That jacket had several pockets.

Jojo is a force all on her own. Also, she's so tall and hyper. Mackenzie is chill and has a very common body type. To my knowledge, no clothing lines or anything either. But again, I only know what happens in my bubble. Maybe everyone knows Mack and I'm just projecting my Jan Brady-ness on her lol.

It's how I answer anytime someone asks why I'm not dating (even pre covid). Okay, good. I know Maddie is quite well known, but I haven't heard a peep about Mackenzie since I stopped watching the show (pre Jojo). Except on TikTok. Paula will likely guess a Ziegler. You're definitely right.

Tulip is Mackenzie Ziegler, even if you don't know who that is. She was holding a bag of Lays potato chips as a super clue this week. While on Dance Moms, Mackenzie's most famous line was "I want to stay at home and eat chips." Later posing with a bag of Lays. It's going to be quite awkward if Ashley Tisdale doesn't guess her, because NO ONE else will know her. She has 20 million tik tok followers, and Ashley is the only judge who has any clue who is famous there. Also, Mack lays low. Her sis is the famous one, and she's not close to a household name to this audience. My money is on Ashley guessing correctly this week before Zebra gets eliminated to give people a week to google who the heck Mack is. Maybe she'll dance to a Sia song to help the guesses lean towards a Ziegler.
