I can only comment on TAR because I don't watch the other shows, but TAR Canada only has 1 season a year that airs in the summer, so there's no overlap of TAR US and TAR Canada, so it's easy enough to watch both.

I think that TAR US should take a look at TAR Canada. My kids lost interest in watching TAR US because it had gotten so easy. TAR Canada is really hard and I think it's more interesting to watch. Making the challenges more interesting again would help the US ratings. You know what else would help with the US ratings? Going back to old school TAR. Nobody is interested in Blind Date TAR or Singles TAR. The show became popular based on what it was. People want to watch the show that they started watching, not this newfangled crap. It didn't need fixing or changing. It was fine just the way it was.

His website is quite good - explaining how it works with before and after photos. http://seerescuestreamer.com I hope he does well without the sharks. This was a smart product. Edited to add that it's available on Amazon as well as the Sea Rescue website, but the prices on Amazon Canada are insane (sold by another party)

Well it depends. When my son started public high school, he was entering a program where they do the bulk of their work on computers. We were obliged to purchase a Mac which set me back about $2600 CAD (never mind the case, mouse, and mouse pad on top of that). So perhaps there were stipulations on the type of computer. The defendant was a first class asshole and I'm glad JM threw the book at him.

Interesting. The non-private home daycares in Quebec are basically like very large houses and the kids are divided by age into the various rooms with their assigned caregivers. So for dropoff and pickup you just walk over to the room that your child is assigned to.

I'm really curious. Do US daycares have rooms with glass walls that look like hospital baby nurseries?

LOL. As I said, I know nothing about chopsticks to even know how "fancy" they are. :-)

I know absolutely nothing about chopsticks because I can't get the hang of them, so I have no idea how long these "fancy" ones have been around. Is it possible that whoever created them never got a patent, or she has a US patent and the other ones have a patent for somewhere else?

Yes! I don't know who gets the credit for originally bringing this to my attention, but I carefully listen now and try to see how quickly I can predict which way she's going.

I did. I saw him wipe his eyes and could see that they were wet. I was shocked to discover that the Tin Man has a heart. Cat wine guy (paraphrasing): "I wasn't expecting to get a deal and I got multiple offers!" Truer words were never spoken. Not only did he get multiple offers, they were fighting each other to get the guy to pick them! I would have never believed that would happen in a million years. I also cannot believe that the Dude wipes are selling in the millions. Walmart (their own house brand) sells the same stuff at a fraction of the price.

Now in the 3rd week of reruns. When are we getting new shows?

I think that it's very possible that Perry did not recognize Jane so many years later and I suspect that Jane is not the only woman he raped on all of his business trips. However I think that he either did recognize her, or when he saw the horrified faces of Jane, Madeline, and Celeste that he realized that she was probably one of his conquests. At that moment, he completely lost his shit. After hearing Celeste telling him that she was leaving him and then all of the women looking at him like the monster he is, that he just snapped with the belief that if he couldn't have Celeste, nobody else would and was going to kill her. Perry is a big guy, but he was definitely off balance fighting off the women and beating Celeste. I could easily see very muscular Bonnie unexpectedly slamming into Perry full tilt to be enough to send him down the stairs. For those that are disappointed that we all saw the ending coming, well perhaps we have watched too many episodes of 24 and other similar shows where there is one crazy plot twist after another. Sometimes the obvious is really all there is and what makes sense. The only real twist was that it was Bonnie of all people who sent him down the stairs. I'm also glad that Madeline didn't tell Ed about her affair. All that would have done is hurt him terribly and make her feel better. Frankly, I think that she needs to live with her guilt. That's the price you pay for cheating.

I'd figured out that Perry was the rapist and that Jane would finally see him at the party but I was still on pins and needles the entire episode. I was so scared for Celeste. That was a well acted series.

As for Joe tasting the food: They say that the pitches are often quite long and are heavily edited for TV. If they paused filming at some point to give someone a bathroom break or adjust makeup or something, he probably walked over at some point to taste it. I really, really hated it. I also thought that they picked the wrong business in at least 2 cases. I thought that the woman's fence product looked much better and seemed easier to assemble. I thought that the man's product looked cheap and crappy. I was also more interested in hearing about the other food pitch. IMHO, all of the pitchers seemed to have a far better product/company to pitch than MANY people we've seen in the "gong show" portion in the past. Why not just let everybody pitch like on a regular show? Honestly, this format was dreadful and I never want to see it again.

So, so bad. The bad grammar also drives me bonkers. I'm also an avid reader and my kids will tell you that I have always corrected their grammar. The one that really drives me nuts is "I axed" instead of "I asked." Thank goodness I can't determine the quality of their spelling too, or I would likely have to shoot myself out of frustration. Doug continues to delight me with how he so cheerfully seems to throw shade at the litigants. I'm quite sure that half the time, they don't realize that he's kind of insulting them.

I got the impression that he worked at a specialty vacuum cleaner store. We have one in my neighbourhood and I still remember going there with a part that we needed to replace and he just glanced at it and knew what brand it was immediately. I could see the pitcher getting feedback from customers in that way.

I was actually OK with Mark doing that because he offered her what she asked for.

I watch this every week and Dragon's Den (the Canadian version). On Dragon's Den, the dragons make their offers, and sometimes the pitchers go into the back room to discuss and/or phone someone and then come back and either take an offer, negotiate, or decline. On Shark Tank, there is so much and more lately of "take my offer now, or I'm out" or other sharks dropping out and the remaining one revising their offer to be better for themselves. It seems greedy just in the interest of creating drama for ratings. My son won't even watch ST anymore because of it. These are businesses that people have worked hard for and the ST approach is ruining my enjoyment of the show. I much prefer the DD approach.

What bothered me about the floor mats was the skinny trim that would attach to the perimeter. I could easily see a small child pulling it off and sticking it in their mouth and chewing it.

When Marcus and Sherlock opened the barrel, before they identified the contents, my husband said "MAPLE SYRUP. It's our maple syrup story!" He was right and we had a good laugh. They touched a bit about this on the show, but basically there are limits to how much maple syrup you can sell and for how much, and a lot of Quebec producers are not happy. This article explains a lot. https://munchies.vice.com/en/articles/boiling-point-inside-quebecs-maple-syrup-war

But it wasn't even just Joe. It was Michelle and Jim in on that deal. I was annoyed with them too. I'm glad Michael and Manjit got that deal.

There are a lot of things bothering me about this episode which have already been addressed, but I haven't seen any discussion about this: John found Victor's bones in the well. That would mean that nobody ever found the child's body. So the child has been missing all these years with the parents wondering what happened. So basically, Eurus might have told her family that she had killed Victor but there was never any proof of that so they may have dismissed it as "crazy talk." It was only when she burned the house down that they realized for sure that she needed to be committed. There was never any talk at the end of the show about contacting Victor's family to let them know the truth.

I think that Kiefth is harder than fifth because of the syllable in Kiefth before the f. It's more awkward (at least to me. )

Debbie said: "No, winter. My birthday's in December. " Re my above post, you're totally right that it's Fiona, not Monica. I totally wrote the wrong name in my post.

I finally saw this episode. I am actually hoping that the next season is the last season. I would enjoy seeing how the Gallaghers actually manage to rise above the hardships and find a modicom of success. There would be little hurdles along the way, but I'd like to see Fiona become successful with her real estate, Debbie to finish her welding course, Carl to continue succeeding in military school, Lip to stay sober and go back to school, Ian to continue being an EMT and stay on his meds, and Liam to remain on the straight and narrow. I really hope that they don't make it all come crashing down.
