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?

Ack! I opened this to read about the US Reunion, not spoilers for the UK Season! There's another thread for that.

We are spacing it out. Jaz has it. He just doesn't realize that every time he talks to people about the Paul/Harry conversation, there's a Traitor in the group.

You hope they will move on. I had a pair of mourning doves try to build a nest on top of my porch light four years in a row. There's plenty of trees to build nests in. They kept coming back year after year. It was almost a peeve! Last year a humming bird nested on a low branch in my lemon tree. I kept checking it out and I think scared her off. The nest was tiny and almost furry.

Oof! I've got tickets to see him in the Lehman Trilogy. Farewell Aethelheim!

And also on the All Stars season!

And my ancestors were avoiding the Prussian army. In terms of the DNA cousins - Larry David also matched with Bernie Sanders and Scar Jo with Isabella Rossellini in previous episodes.

Me too. And a lot of you forget about the time difference east to west. You're done two hours before the show starts out west.

It's hard but Liz has multi-colored glasses and Mo had clear glasses. But now it's pointless. I'm with those who think that the team that "wins" the merge shouldn't get to vote in the tribal.

The stairs go around the lobby as described in the book. Most big/grand hotels have big lobbies for people to sit in.

She's always circling the drain but coming up with a miraculous save. The color change on the tsunami was fantastic.

Loved Fraser snapping back at Jill! Now he needs to work on folding a blanket into a rocket ship. The Scottish guy is great.

It was the attorney for either the town or the school board who refused to engage with Jones or his followers. The problem with exhuming is the scale. If they had exhumed one body, run DNA tests to confirm parenthood, then the Jonesers would have said that the other ones were faked. What if one of the kids was adopted? What if one family used donor sperm or eggs to conceive? There would always be room for conspiracy theorists to see conspiracy.

They were cast during Covid. I'm sure the pool of people who were willing to risk their lives to get out of their protective bubbles and go on the race was a little bit smaller than normal.
