hula-la

I'm not sure I should thank you @Rambler, or curse you. I've spent the past hour reading this reddit post, and keep reading bits of it out to Mr. Hula-la.

So, Mr. Hula-la and I just watched the entire series. This is why my clothes don't fit. I totally agree with you that it should be a full series, and I'd much rather watch and hear the stories of these students and their band leader, than "coach" Brown (I put that in quotations, because I'm not really sure what he is. He seems like a coach in name only). The students of ICC I care about, their coach--not so much.

I looove marching bands, so am going to see if it’s on Canadian Netflix. Thanks for the recommendation! One positive of such short episodes is that you wouldn’t feel too guilty binge watching the series in one go (because I have never done that, ever).

I don’t know when this was taped, but the World of Dance World Championships (the “real” competition from which this show came) are this weekend. I saw a preview video on Instagram Stories and Eva Igo is one of the competitors (along with a bunch of others who were or are on the show). Then again, should could have been this season's Jabbawockeez.

THank you @ElectricBoogaloo for the song name. I’m with everyone when I’m tired of the auditions. My birthday is next week, and I clearly remember watching SYTYCD on my birthday, a few years ago, happily watching the Alvin Ailey dancers perform on of my favourite pieces “The Hunt”. I miss those days of the show.

Does anyone know the song that Travis used during his section?

I saw a note whilst watching that you can view the technical bake on the CBC app. Not sure how I feel about that.

I saw it on my DVD listing and almost deleted it, thinking it was an old series. Yay CBC—now I have 2 GBBO series to watch this summer!

It was their travel information (route information?)--the yellow card that tells them where to go for the next leg of the trip.

Maybe it's the teacher in me, but it was rather rude of Nigel to insult Kory's goal of dancing on Broadway. His actual technique was pretty good. He had great height in his jumps, good musicality, and most importantly, was fun to watch. At his age, he may not fulfill his dream of Broadway, but he could totally rock local theatre productions of Broadway musicals. There's no shame in that game, and nothing to be laughed at.

I feel the same way. It's more of a gymnastics or acro routine than a dance. I talk about this show with my physio, and she looooves Eva Igo. I don't get the love, but I keep myself quiet, as said physio keeps my aging body able to dance, so she can believe whatever she wants!

Don’t ask me her name, but I really liked the first girl who auditioned (red bra top), as well as the guy with a jazz background (wearing black).

I’m excited to try it too! I have a students who I’ve been pleasantly harassing to get his mother’s recipes that I can use for class (knowing that family recipes are a set of “add some of this, now some of that”). It’s high time for some fine dining, Filipino style!

I don't know your background, but it could be because it's racist https://gizmodo.com/why-cant-this-soap-dispenser-identify-dark-skin-1797931773

I noticed a moment when Bell turned away from Conrad, Pravesh, and Nic and had the slightest smile on his face, like he decided right then and there how to make this opportunity work for him. I'm thinking that it was deliberate to ask her to destroy the files, so that when she did, he could make himself/the hospital out to be the heroes. Well played sir, well played.

Just watched the episode on Sikhs. There is a large Sikh population where I live in Canada, but I still learned in this episode and quite enjoyed it.

I also like how they acknowledge the differences between working in a northern vs. southern climate. I'm looking forward to seeing how both homes turn out (especially the woman who's home was inherited from her Grandmother).

The last season of the American version was noted for the camaraderie amongst the vast majority of the chef-testants (save one who was just nasty). It made for enjoyable viewing, and I hope that this one will be just as good.

Dale, the season one winner, is on Iron Chef Gauntlet, so Saskatoon is truly on the map!

I’m rewatching season 4 of PR with my students (can’t wait until they see the avant garde challenge!). Nina was Fashion Director of Elle magazine in that season. And Joanna (Coles?) was with Cosmo when she mentored. Can’t remember if it was PR or PRAS.

I had never seen these women before, and just finished watching the episode. I was embarrassed for all involved. If I spoke to my sister like these two did, my parents would slap me. On tv.

As @Dots And Stripes stated, it's not that there's no food available in food deserts, it's that there's no high quality, nutritious food available. Most options include corner stores, where they sell mainly highly processed food, and fast food options. If people living in food deserts need to take public transit to get to a grocery store, that's going to limit the amount of food that they can buy in one trip, which becomes even more of an issue, as less processed food has a shelf life, and needs to be purchased regularly. People want to make healthy food choices--it's just extremely difficult in many areas of the country (including Canada, where I live). I wish I could find it, but I remember an episode of the Daily Show where one of the correspondents clocked how long it took them to get to the closest grocery store. It was quite a while--imagine doing that with bags of groceries or pulling a grocery tote.

I just started watching this show, as my colleague told me about it. I teach at a public school in Canada, and I’m interested to see the similarities and differences between students here and in the US.

When Blais asked if Chris' food was too spicy/hot for home chefs, I rolled my eyes. Aren't the same home chefs the people who you want eating in your restaurants? Why don't you think they can't handle spicy food? In all snarkiness, shouldn't Blais be asking if someone's food was too salty for home cooks?

On behalf of ethnic people everywhere, this episode was scary. We ethnics don’t camp, and the idea of watching them camp and cook outside, much less in the snow, got my heart rate up a bit (ok, a lot).
