After Katrina, one of my employees volunteered for the Corps of Engineers BlueRoof project and was sent to southeastern Texas. The houses there didn't have street addresses. Watching two or more teams drive aimlessly around for 90 minutes is not compelling TV, it's boring TV.

All of the episodes would be better at 60 minutes. This was just excruciating.

TWOP had really good recaps back in the day when if you missed a show and couldn't record it (many people couldn't) you could still find out what happened. The recap writers were professional and semi-professional writers. This site doesn't have that, but they have lots of forums where you can discuss shows and pets and whatever. And it's all free. I'm willing to follow a few rules like no politics or no discussion of Megan Markle or no boards on boards for that. When I've had problems on this site, the people I have contacted have been professional and committed to solving them. The only problem I've come across dealing with them was the person running the Prime Timers who could not understand how Richie singing Love Story in his car on The Bear could possibly be a favorite musical moment. Sigh.

We're overrun with commercials touting the recreational experiences in different states. Virginia is for lovers, Illinois is in the middle of everything, etc. So who thought it a good idea for the Oregon commercial to feature talking hiking boots?

Sounds like an Orange Julius

They already did a big episode on finding out about a celebrity's parents - the one about Andy Samburg's mother who was adopted. I agree, these seemed very similar stories.

I know! I spent the entire episode wondering when they were going to mention the history of the Harvey Houses! And it was even at a train station! Most of them are in the SW - I've eaten at the one in Winslow. Was this a real one?

Kate did have a horrible day. All that curdling and breaking. I don't understand why her layers were so thick. A regular Nanaimo bar has a thin layer of chocolate on top - she had that thick green layer, I guess made out of white chocolate. In the same amount of time, Stephen made his tart, tempered the white chocolate, made ultra thin decorations, and also made ice cream. Alex baked lady fingers and made the Charlotte. They deserved to be on the top.

Me too!

That's the point though - the world is changing and the people who go out in the world are changing too. Only Alexander has been allowed, through imprisonment, to remain unaware of how difficult things are for most people. And so he accidentally insults others who take out their frustrations in various ways. Or he doesn't pick up on hints like from Anna, because he's stuck playing the game in the old way. If the bees can change, he can change.

Chris Stapleton is the one the other country clones are trying to be. He's the OG. I thought most of this show was hilarious.

I could use a wall of throwing vases! Close alternatives are doing demolition (sledge hammers!) and throwing axes! The thunk is particularly satisfying.

I'm going to assume that he voted for Venus just in case Soda had an idol or successfully played the shot in the dark. Some seasons they always throw down a vote split just in case.

They were totally messing with him. Especially Charlie with his final "Baltimore!" At least they had fun with the challenge rather than just silently riding the calm seas.

The first woman made up an entire novel about her ancestor. Motives, plot, supporting characters, etc. We were noticing how sharp Dr. Gates' suit game is. Does PBS shill out for a new suit for every person he interviews?
