  1. I get the feeling I'm alone in this, but I hated the dinner party scene. And was kinda grossed out by it. I hope Heather is gone soon because she so does not bring out the best in Harry. Oh, and all those tropical birds are just going to die in Colorado, so that scene pissed me off.
  2. Yep, we are Mid-Atlantic, too. 😁
  3. I didn't say the commercial said something it didn't. It does, however, imply it, imo. You don't have to agree, of course.
  4. To be honest, Delaware would be worth owning, given its position as a major financial center. But otherwise, it's a mostly boring state with some nice beaches. But hey, tax-free shopping? (Can you tell I live next door in Maryland? 😏)
  5. He's previously talked about the Ben Franklin statue at Penn, so that makes perfect sense. Yep, spilled beer is the reason some dive bars encourage patrons to drop the shells from the provided peanuts on the floor.
  6. I'd stop going to that gynecologist. She doesn't outright say to use her product instead of seeing your gynecologist but is implied. Which, as you say, is probably more down to poor wording. Which does not lessen my loathing for Dr. Shannon or her product's commercials one bit.
  7. Have you met people? There are some who absolutely would assume 72 hour deodorant meant they didn't have to shower.
  8. In the very first commercial for Lume, Dr. Shannon claimed (based apparently on one very small, unduplicated, study) that women were overdiagnosed with infections and overtreated when consulting their gynecologists about vulva-related odors. So I very much take it as her saying to use Lume INSTEAD of consulting their doctors. In my experience, no one but me is going to notice any "down there" odor unless it's bad enough to be an infection. So there's no need for Lume in that area. (And according to gynecologists, one should not be putting deodorant too close to that area because it can cause medical issues.) Now, feet, they're a whole 'nother story. Edited to note that a sexual partner would, but presumably he wouldn't be all that worried about normal human scents, especially since he'd have his own.
  9. FJ was one of those weird clues that upon first reading provoked my patented "I have no fucking idea" response. Then I took a second to look at the parts of the clue which seemed most important (Solway Firth = Scotland & US vice admiral = American navy) and it clicked. The answer was someone who'd been born in Scotland but had been instrumental in forming the US Navy. Which meant John Paul Jones. Now, I had read a biography of him so I knew he'd been born in Scotland, but even if I hadn't, it seemed clear it had to be someone involved with the navy who hadn't been born in the US, and coming up with the most famous naval officer during the American Revolution was fairly easy for me. Helps that I'm interested in early naval history. I was quite surprised that Troy and Yogesh didn't get it correct. And for Troy to close the game by $1, damn. But just goes to show that being in a distant third place going into FJ isn't necessarily terrible if you bet correctly and get the answer right. Troy bet exactly what he needed to win if Yogesh bet everything and they both got FJ correct. I disagree that Troy's bet wasn't clever IF he felt confident about the category. He'd have won outright if both he and Yogesh had been correct. I don't agree with saying someone should play for a tie in FJ. Just my opinion, of course.
  10. The real problem is that once someone starts donating to tv snake oil salesmen, they don't generally stop at small amounts once a month. Those crystal cathedrals and mega churches get built on the wallets of people the televangelists con into sending them money on a regular basis.
  11. I figured it was the Western Hemisphere since the UN is headquartered in NYC. He's like a cyborg who's trying to fake being human. Unsuccessfully. Yeah, that really was. That was my answer, too, so I'mma say yes.
  12. Well, fuck. I had no clue for FJ. I did realize there was a Secretary General with a Hispanic name but had no idea of his country of origin. I did too, and actually like some of them (Chuck Forrest was my very first Jeopardy boyfriend and Sam Kavanaugh is second only to Brad Rutter in that department), but still, another damned tournament.
  13. Which is why I hate the stupid fake issues the producers always use. I'd much rather discuss the houses' style or the locations themselves.
  14. I liked the two city places, but I'm just one person so they'd work fine for me. The 3rd place was nice too, and a better fit for the family's requirements as a whole. That little living room would've been a library for me. It does annoy me, though, when people on this show act like it's impossible to raise children in a city or in a smaller house.
  15. They tell you not to do that when you're being prepped in the green room, but contestants still do it, and not just this season. I said Deuteronomy at first for the FJ but was sure it was wrong. Then I thought of Levites and changed my answer to Leviticus, probably not in time to write it down, but I'm counting it. It absolutely was a reference to Ken's Watson comment (which was the first time I actually liked Ken) but it still rubbed me the wrong way. I got crescent moon but said Lucifer for the other one. I read part of Paradise Lost for a college class years ago and Lucifer was the interesting one. Didn't even remember Adam being in it.
