Larry "I'm a 5 and Jenny's a 10."
Hmmm
Right?! This was my laugh-out-loud moment of the episode. Sweetie, you're a 3 on a good day.

Evelyn looks like a bankrupt man's Megan Draper.
YES, this is the TV character reference I've been trying to think of! Also, "bankrupt man's" is *Italian chef kissing fingers* beautiful.

She said her father immigrated from Algeria but she was born in France and not into the tradition. She doesn't look nothing like a Muslim. First of all she wouldn't be on that show. You can't ever imagine what a disgrace it would be to her family. And if she really has a boyfriend I'm hundred percent sure it's a French and non Muslim guy. A real Muslim wouldn't marry someone like Myriam cause she's too westernized. The reason why she wouldn't date Patrick is definitely not religious.
I'm not proud to admit it but I had the Extended Scenes episode on in the background the other day while I was working and I do remember hearing her say in a bonus scene that her boyfriend is Muslim and that it makes it easier for her family to accept him and it makes for an "easy life" for her. Can't imagine why this would make her life easier unless she was Muslim herself.

I thought the guy had a look of sheer terror on his face throughout the episode. Like, "What the hell did I get myself into?". Certainly a huge sacrifice and a big life change.

Oh my gosh, the Kentucky to Panama City ladies were a riot! I wasn't even going to watch the episode but I caught the beginning and they pulled me right in. They were probably the only couple on this show that I'd want to hang out with.

When the husband said he wanted a house with a "medieval feel", I thought, what, he wants a moat? At the end the wife said he got the house he wanted with the "Renaissance" feel he wanted. Sorry, sweetheart, 2 different periods.
I thought the bar was pretty low there, but then, at the end, he also talked about the "proudness" he feels.

Funny, I briefly talked about this episode with my Filipino MIL and she sort of sympathized with Daya's pouting about the flowers. She said that in her community back in the Philippines, they associated any non-rose flowers with funerals and would not imagine getting non-roses for a living person. That is not to say that Daya is not entitled and overbearing (which it seems like she is), but I wonder if this could be a factor in her dissatisfaction with the flower choice.

She drove me nuts. I decided she must have come from a family with money, because she seemed somewhat "entitled," and she was so dorky, and with that voice, I couldn't figure out what her husband saw in her when they met on an airplane. Did they say what either of them does for a living? Are they techies that have made a lot of money on some startup company?
I couldn't see the appeal either. If I remember correctly, they introduced them as lawyer (him) and family therapist (her). I couldn't imagine taking her seriously as a therapist. She seems very childish and spoiled.

Based on today's episode, sage is yet another ingredient that's lemony.

Did anyone else get the creepy-crawlies when Mr. Robert Chriscolo strolled into the courtroom? Dude was scary - from the freaky laser contact lenses, red face, Marine haircut, head and finger tattoos, it all made for a nightmarish appearance. He must be an old biker or something, but he needs to tone it down.
It stopped me right in my tracks. Let's not forget the goatee dyed black and the fact that he was wearing TWO watches.

Not that I would ever be tempted to use any of her recipes but it drives me crazy to hear her walk the viewers through a recipe on what claims to be a cooking show and use descriptors such as "a bit of X", "some Y" or "a whole buncha Z". Use precise measurements or drop the pretense of being a culinary show.
Another pet peeve: using standard pronunciation except for potaytuhs. Always potaytuhs. Because it doesn't get more down-home than this.
Overall, one of my favorite shows to hate-watch. The chemistry among the family members is delectably terrible. Ree's attempts at humor are reliably cringe-worthy. Must-watch television.

Adding another great entry to her flavor description bible, today she said parsnips taste licoricey.

YES to all of this. I am bilingual and well into my 30s and I still get asked to "say something" in my native language. I travel a lot all over the world but this type of request only ever comes from Americans. It drives me crazy. It serves no purpose other than, as you said, performing for the asker and allowing them to develop a superficial view of how the language sounds, as opposed to translating something more specific for them, which at least could be informative if they were to retain the information.
