I almost forgot my pet peeve: the cheese is pronounced howda

It looked like half of Morimoto. Cool to see him and it was clearly a bucket list item for the cheftestants to have him cook for them!
Their food is not memorable though.
Wasn't Chef Tom from All Stars the culinary director of Holland America? I was hoping to see him. Ed Lee was great - he's had so much success since being on the show. I think he was the one to leave at final 4.

Creighton just has a big mouth. At the previous stop, his team could have had all the eggs but he had to brag about finding them.
Kennedy and her partner are the worst. Too bad the rock climbers didn't make it to this leg.

Today's peeve: people my age who keep posting on FB stuff like "back in my day we ate what was on our plate, wore what our mothers bought us and did what we were told and we were glad". Yeah, about that...
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." (Socrates, 4th century BC)
I'm with you.....

I'm late watching this. I agree about the B&W being a great touch.
I think Flynn is putting enough into this that you can tell when Tom is imitating him. I never thought of Andrew Scott as a mimic, but he's doing well here.

what a surprise! (not) George doesn't sell, doesn't pick a successor, and manages to screw over three people who actually believed in what he has built.
I couldn't figure out how Jeff lost about 200 pounds between getting fired and getting his job back as drama director.

No...I'm thinking more about fallibility but in a non-catastrophic sense. For example, the detective records the wrong name during questioning because he's talking to someone with a thick accent. Or the prosecutor that has to deal with a forensic lab where one vital piece of evidence was not handled properly (but is still useable).
At the extreme end, I'd love to see more detective/police shows tackle a case that was resolved previously (preferably one we'd seen before) but they have to re-open it because the guy they caught escaped conviction, and it wasn't because the detective and/or the prosecutor were bad at their jobs. Cases are rarely ever cut-and-dry in real life and sometimes new evidence emerges that changes the analysis of the original case. It would be nice if Hollywood acknowledged this without throwing the heroes under the bus.
Your first one was just done on a show called Criminal Record starring Peter Capaldi. Someone wrote down a witness's name wrong and then the cops couldn't find him for further questioning so things went wrong.
The second one I'm pretty sure was done on Prime Suspect but I may be remembering wrong.
There are no nudists on TV. The parents of one of my high school boyfriends were nudists. He warned me, but I forgot.

Cecilia rolling on the floor bellowing in grief was a little too much. Royal handled the deputy sheriff and the Wind River police well.

My expectation is that Boston Rob is the first murder. And that Bob Harper will be clueless. It'll be great to see him at the breakfast table with all those pastries!

Well this was actually good!
Didn't we see the buffalo with the arrows in the first season?

Jeremy sure looked like a bitter Survivor jury member at the end. How did he, and Keely turn milk chocolate into unappetizing pinkish brown globs?
The challenge was to use fruits that are normally used as vegetables. There is no botanical definition of vegetable - vegetables can be fruiting bodies (avocados, squash, cucumbers), or berries (tomatoes), or stems (celery), or roots (carrots, potatoes), or even flowers (artichokes). Corn was legit for this challenge. Nuts probably wouldn't have been acceptable. I wonder if they had to clear their choice before starting.
I'd like to try the cucumber cake, but facing it on a menu, I doubt that I'd order it.

So, was the guy who crawled out of the Time Hole at the end of the previous episode, the Henry in this episode? I thought it might be the lost Tillerson boy. Last seen advising Royal that "time is a bitch" while in the Time Hole.

I think they want to keep the surprise of having a front runner (like German) go home before the drain circlers. It's what they've always done with these.
The Disney tie-ins are getting to be too much. Did they really need two pre-recorded bits from Poehler and Hawke?
I'm always amazed when someone makes a mistake, actually figures out what they did wrong, and manages to fix it in the limited time they have. Chris figuring out the mistake with the hot milk and making new cakes was genius.

A bit over the top. Helps to remember that a lot of these folks are actors.
He's wrong about it being the first Renaissance Fair if it started in 1974. Both Los Angeles are and San Francisco area had Ren Fairs that started in the late 60s.

No. It's on Prime. The commercial is showing how she can buy all this stuff on Amazon. I thought she was supposed to be in NYC.

You mean you want to see the heart rate? You slide up a few screens and there it is. Once you have the fitbit synced to your phone, you can look at the rate there as well.
I've had several fitbits over the years. Looking back at my pictures (I take a picture whenever I buy something important), they've each lasted 3-4 years.

I thought she said it while she was walking out to get into the car to go to the resort.
But in more exciting news, review of Instagram indicates that Ben and Sunny are still together one year later.

I don’t have the cookbook. I was curious about the web site, so I tried their “free” membership to see what it was all about. The full recipe was not available. It’s not clear whether it would be available on the paid version. Strange web site. Good concept but probably a lot of copyright problems so not really useful.
Your best bet might be to get the hard copy from the library. I bet they’d have it.Eat Your Books is a website designed for people who have too many cookbooks. You give it a list of ingredients or a dish you'd like to make, along with a list of your cookbooks, and it will find a recipe and tell you which cookbook it's in.
Kind of like what happened here where someone owned the cookbook with the recipe and copied it out for the person who needed it.

There was so much in this episode!
What did Janine think the fuse box was? A tiny room for mice?
And everybody heading to the bedroom to watch Wakanda Forever!

The South Island goes to almost 45degrees South latitude - that's the equivalent of Portland, OR and the border between Montana and Wyoming in the U.S.
I felt a bit miffed at not having a winner at the end of the episode. And doing something this stressful with your divorced spouse has got to be a bad idea.

I would have preferred Charlie to win but Kenzie is OK.
What made me incredibly happy about this episode was the fantastic final challenge - that almost made up for the endless dig through the mud, balance beams, untie puzzle pieces, assemble puzzle challenges they have been doing all season long.

I don't know if I'll watch this again. I don't think any of the dishes were memorable and watching people just be miserable isn't a lot of fun.
I honestly don't see why one challenge couldn't be long enough to do a braise to show a few more skills that they all have. Then they could sit down at least.

What I find most ridiculous about this commercial is that the list of ingredients they rattle off for both options sound almost the same to me. I can never tell what’s supposed to be so bad about the cheaper option ingredients.
Many dogs are sensitive to corn which is a common ingredient in the "less expensive" brands. I don't remember if that's featured in this commercial. Finding a dry dog food that's completely without corn is difficult.

I'm just starting. Loved the chamber pots with Franklin's picture at the bottom.
Theatre Talk: In Our Own Little Corner
in Everything Else
Earlier in the week we went to see the Lehman Trilogy in San Francisco. It was one of the best things I've ever seen in the theater and that's saying a lot for a 3.5 hour play with two intermissions describing the history of the Lehman Brothers Bank. It was directed by San Mendes with a cast of three and an incredible set made of a glass conference room that spins and a whole lot of bankers boxes that are used in many different ways.
This was supposed to star Adrian Schilling (Victoria, The Last Kingdom) who passed away unexpectedly a few months ago. He was replaced by John Heffernan who played the Soviet hotel manager in A Gentleman in Moscow.
I've been known to walk out or fall asleep if something drags. This was fascinating and beautifully told.
