[Psst.. Adam, we can't have 2 strong Black women as the final 2, let alone winner (no matter how much either deserved 10 times more than you. A white gay guy is much more palatable. So rather than have the winner determined solely by skills (which everyone knows you'd fail at), we're going to have a trivia quiz. Here's a cheat sheet to make sure you win. Thanks, buddy.] That was an awful, horrid, despicable way to treat Tinashe and Portchia. Misogynoir runs deep.

I'm sure that the celebs has to sign non-disclosure agreements. "Chris? Chris who??? Definitely not my son!" I guess "Techni" got left on the cutting room floor! LOL

I cracks me up every time they sat "colorful jacket" when the clue was "Technicolor Dreamcoat!! This has been answered but I the The Bachlorette got pushed because of Trump's arraignment earlier. Add in Far From Home and it's definitely JB Smoove. If these clowns can't get Donny Osmond, there's vo way they're getting him. I think you mean Billy Idol, but aren't they cousins? LOL

Some man are very intimidated by strong women, especially Black women. Check Paul saying that he would have kicked Porscha out for no good reason Marshawn has been like this since the get-go, finding fault with all the women, especially Porscha and Tineshe. "I'd like my eggs over easy." Then Mardhawn says "I want mine scrambled, so Cat only makes scrambled eggs because she bows down to an "alpha: male. Those are my least favorites, especially Marshawn -- hate him with a passion. Unfortunately, the alliances are three and three -- Marshawn, Pauk and Cat vs Porscha, Tinesha and Adam. It could go either way.

You don't like pina coladas? I bet you don't like getting caught in the rain either! LOL I agree that the right team won and was so happy that the "Hey! look at me!!!!!" came in LAST! Yay!

This show is harder to rig than most, but if I see ne more chef burn their caramel, I’m going to throw something at my TV. And she’s supposed to be a professional chef???

Marshawn (and to a lesser degree Lance and Paul) marches to the Toxic Masculinity drumbeat. From the second episode where he felt entitled to the Base Commander's unit, to his disparaging comments to and about the women (his misogynoir towards Porshia is especially irritating) to ordering Porshia to make Paul mission specialist (I love that she said "I'll think about it -- hell, nah!") I think Marshawn got Paul pushed out by his arrogance. But neither of them will realize that and just think that Porshia was being mean. I love Porshia and Tenishe (and, to a lesser extent Ariel) -- they are always good at their assignments and are good at the social aspect, in spite of Marshawn. I hope that they come in first and second.

It's been that way since a decent number of women started competing. Otherwise, very few women would make past the first Qualifier,

I find Fasi and T (the "Hey, look at me!!!!: team) to be far more irritating than Camille and Laissa. Can. Not, Stand. Them. [1] Next Level Chef is so freaking bad. First, they shouldn't even mention anything that didn't make it to the elevator -- if it's off, it's out. Then one dish can clearly outshine another, get all the complements while tasting, and be put below slop. I watched one season -- that was enough. [2[ Very rigged -- Fadi and T winning the pass to the semis was so utterly fake. Reality shows don't have to meet the same Standards and Practices as "regular" game shows. They are definitely the producers' favorites, but blech. I don't think that they're all that competent either. [3] I have to disagree -- I think that woud give too much weight to the Safety Bake. I think having each round being "judged" (or not) independently works better.

Gabriel is totes Nick Cannon -- 10 babies and Drumline. Donny is better known than J. B., I think, but not to these folks. Karsyn is probably next out, then the remaining four will take themselves out with bad guesses. Do any of them really know who any of the others are? Gabriel was close with his "Joseph" guess, but I don't think he got to Donny either, I think we have everyone now: Known (via Google): Monay: Father, Athlete, Emmy J.R.

If they used Jim Carey's movies as a hint to Jenny McCarthy, to be fair they should have had a Tom Hanks clue (like the Librerty Bell for Philedelphia, not the freaking BENCH!) for Rita Wilson. If I were Carly, I'd be even more pissed. My pick for winner is Monay, simply because her celebrity (see below) is too obscure. I wonder what Olivia's clue looked like. Gabriel is the only player whose clue we haven't seen. July 12 Known (via Google): Hugo: Grandfather, Athlete, Nobel Peace Prize -- Monay: Father, Athlete, Emmy J.R.

Fadi and T's win of the Safety Bake was so bogus. First, they managed to do better in 45 minutes what they had failed at in an hour and a half (the whole "I have to start over" gimmick has never worked for me.) Then, the judges gush over the other 3 tarte Tartins, but they somehow win. Nope, not buying it. I wish they had explained what the difference between what the twins made and a tarte Tartin was.

I liked Shayne (it didn't hurt that she was easy on the eyes) Some clues are a lot easier (like Monay) than others (Karsyn).

Could he and Travis have picked a worse spot? Chris wasn't even trying to hide that he was eavesdropping!

The Portuguese version seems to be gone. I guess they'll put it back once the subtitles and/or dubbing is done. [EDIT]: The reunion is available on my TV (Portuguese audio and subtitles though) but not on my laptop. Weird.

You're -- the Critic's Choice award threw me off. ================================================= I was thinking that, since the bench SCREAMED Tom Hanks, the astronaut could refer to someone else -- with the bee, the guess of Buzz Aldrin seemed apt. But I can't fit it into 2 Truths And A Lie for anyone.

The reunion is this Sunday July 2nd. I was surprised that everyone said yes. We'll see if they can make it work.

I'll make it simple -- he's a bully. He's always grabbing other guys shirts, and tried to intimidate Menandro, but Menandro wasn't having it, From people who claim to know him on the LIB Reddit, he's a right-wing jerk who's nothing like what he shows here (other than the bullying). I'm glad that Bianca and Jarbas were able to talk out their problem, and each saw the others point of view, Jarbas should have not drunk so much, but she eventually didn't fault him for wanting to celebrate with his friends. I had good vibes from all the couples (even Dani and Dani) except for Valmir until the last two episodes. Agata and Maria are going to push away Renan and Menandro if they don't back off a bit. I understand where both are coming from, but enough already. One thing that surprised me was that all the couples expected to have sex th first night of the :homeymoon" -- even Dani if the cameras weren't there. I'd always thought of Brazil as being more conservative,

I was just happy to watch Daniel Freitas cry. A poor winner and a poor loser. I was worried but am so glad that they lost. Replacement driver of Riptide, we REALLY don't need Ethan Kurtz Jr. Your "Let's go!" can get lost.

If I was Carolyn, when the women told her how "inspiring" she was, I would have asked "Then why didn't you vote for me [bitch]?" That was so insulting! I know that it's near impossible for women to work together (whether it was the "Moms Alliance" that lasted five minutes, or the "Lauren's such a powerful player that we can't vote out Yam Yam" at the end. So many opportunities for an all-female final three just squandered for no good reason.

Daniel Freitas and his toxic masculinity are abhorrent to me. I find him the most unpleasant person on BattleBots to the point that I want to punch him in the face.

i was hoping for a all-female top 5, but as usual, they can't hold it together for 5 flipping minutes. it was the perfect time to blindside Danny or break up the Three Stooges by voting the always annoying Yam Yam off my screen. The only one I want to win is Carolyn. Danny, Carson and Yam Yam are the usual smug misogynists this show loves to cast and can't be gone soon enough!

i would actually be OK with that -- wildfires are completely different from urban fires. Plus, we'd still have Manny's group vs Vince's group -- any number of substories could be told there. The bus was fairly far from the front of the train: 1 engine (about 7- feet), at least 3 cars (3 times 60 feet, or 160 feet) plus what looked like another car's length from the back of the train = over 300 feet after turning ass over teakettle. It also dodn't look like it was going 15 miles per hour -- more like 60 or so. You can't count on accuracy on a show that uses water to put out jet fuel and fights fires from the top down.
