Then what are those cakes they sell in US grocery stores that are slightly lighter versions of pound cakes but drowned in glaze/icing? I thought those were called cream (or crème?) cakes.
Twinkies

I must have drunk the koolaid because I liked a lot of the garments. Liked Merline, Swapnil, Candace, Kelly, Lindsay, and Edmund. I thought the bottom 2 should have been Ashley and Laurie and that Laurie would be aufed. Lindsay's wasn't the best thing ever made, but it was far from the worst thing on that runway.
Finding Neverland is one of my favorite movies and Kelly's vest/coat reminded me very much of what the mother is wearing when she walks into Neverland (presumably having died). Her normal looking dressing gown transforms into one of many colors. So, I liked it.

Perhaps Big Pun would get an exemption to say it, but someone should let the writers know that Big Pun hasn't said anything since 2000.
Why not go for Pitbull?
Teenage boys?
I agree that the funk of unwashed teenage boys is unequalled, but they don't need 45 minutes under water to get rid of it. Especially if their mothers want to run the sprinklers regularly.

But the real mystery is: what are fairy cakes?

As someone who was nearly reported to Child Protective Services when my 4 year old would ride around preschool on a tricycle bellowing the lyrics to Greatful Dead's Casey Jones (Riding that train, high on cocaine), you'd think I would have liked this a lot more. It seemed to go from funny to not and back again.
And because of the drought that we are going through, the stuff with Junior and the showers was just wrong. I feel really guilty because I don't shower with a bucket to collect the extra water. No one is taking 45 minute showers in California these days.
But Charlie is always funny!

For me, the problem with Sophia and Neil Patrick Harris is that they're overexposed. Once someone is "discovered" and they become a little popular, everyone jumps on that bandwagon and then that's all you see is that person, EVERYWHERE. NPH was hosting everything, being in magazines shilling for whatever. Sophia is also everywhere, in commercials, on billboards and magazines. To my mind, very overexposed and people might be getting tired of her. But I am glad that Modern Family was punched down this year. Personally, I much prefer The Middle and the actors on that show are constantly overlooked because of Modern Family. I'm thinking that MF will probably be around for maybe another season, and then go away.
You know who is overexposed? Allison Janney! She's everywhere shilling everything. If I have to hear her yapping about Kaiser one more time, I will kill! And guess what? They nominated her for two Emmy's!

I don't understand why Waffle Love is doing so incredibly well when the waffle (and crepe) trucks on previous seasons didn't. That's what I wish they would show. One week they made $13K - that's 3 times what the winning truck usually makes in a weekend. There has to be a real reason besides "we make the best waffles ever!"

There were quite a few people who didn't get their full runs covered in Stage 2. But, they could save time for the umpteenth iteration of backstory on the Hawaiian flight attendant who lost his mother and sister during the same year. And someone else letting their infant son drive a tractor. And someone else......
The producers should have enough respect by the end to just show the full runs of everyone. They all earned it.

If you want comedy - check out Review, it's in its second season on Comedy Central. Or Black Books - there are 3 seasons.

She really annoyed me when she kept talking about the vagina wires on Joseph's dress. The wires were on the hem, at her knees. Is that where your vagina is Candace?
I think she meant it looked like the wires were coming out of the model's vagina. They were unfortunately placed.
Swapnil came across as a complete ass. If that's what the editing has been hiding all along, then I'll start believing those people who claim they were screwed by the editing.

Having not watched the show before this, I was delighted that stage 4 was just climb a rope in under 30'seconds! No floating dangling things, no leaps, just climb!
I also don't see why they didn't both win $1M. - I thought the prize was for whoever beat Mt. Midoriyama, not the one who was fastest.

The Jonny Depp fragrance commercial that seems to also be a parody of the MMcC Lincoln commercials. I thought it was a SNL sketch at first. So much eye liner.

Why would you chose to become a designer of clothing for women if you don't want to know anything about women's bodies?I really, really hate it when men like Blake play the "girls are so gross card". Be an adult, you are 24. If women offend you so much, be a bartender at an all male bar or design men's socks or something. I no longer get offended at hearing Vagina every two minutes-it's everywhere. I blame Oprah and her vajaja comments.
So Oprah is responsible for the "vajayjay?"

I'm a woman, not a "dude" (I know you meant no offense, but it's just way too close to dudebro for me:) and -- sarcasm in my previous Mom Whore comment aside -- I do think Heidi perpetuates the idea that a woman's body is only good for being "whored" out (in quotes because whores are fantasy objects, not sex workers -- which I guess also places Heidi in pimp camp -- seller and user?) Anyway, her esthetic never runs to empowering sexual imagery, but to seeing the female body as an object to be consumed.
I think this is an enormous stretch that isn't supported by anything we have seen of Heidi Klum. She started as a model but has used her success there to become a pretty successful business person. This line is lingerie. By its nature, lingerie reveals the woman's body. If Zac Posen had a lingerie line, would you reach the same conclusions about him? The other line of hers that we've seen was athletic wear. Where is the "pimping" in the hoodies and yoga pants?

Right?! Nina actually said "granny panty" about something that may have come up to within two inches of the belly button - Nina, dear, it isn't granny if most of the buttocks are exposed.
But, based on Gretchen's win, I thought they liked granny panties! Maybe only when paired with a grandpa sweater.
In order to win, you had to make something that would fit in with Heidi's existing collection. That meant the fabrics that she uses, as well as the general style.
All the shots of existing looks had very small panties.

In The Producers, the shot of the audience once the opening number (Springtime for Hitler) finishes. There's dead silence and every one of them has their jaw dropped.

I just saw that ad and not once did the "very pregnant woman" jump on the bed. She's standing on the bed but she never jumps.
Are there any with very pregnant men?
Standing on a bed is probably good for your core.

Texas, what a nanny state!
But, I digress....what I really came here to say is that if I have to listen to that guy on the Mazda commercials with his smarmy pronounciation again, I'm going to get super stabby! Not just stabby, but super stabby!

I figured the Paris guy was just acting badly. They didn't say why they needed a second bedroom - couldn't he just study in there?
But Paris bathrooms are famous for having toilets and bidets! To encounter two bathrooms sans toilet, plus a water closet that didn't include a bidet seemed really strange to me. It was a beautiful apartment.

I think it's great to have one competition that is gender-blind. Even though it seems to mean that the women won't be as successful.
I'm thinking that some of the montaging in Stage 1 means that we will see full runs in the later stages.

Robert is probably an engineer.
I like angel food cake but don't like the gloopy frosting that my mother always put on it. Just plain with a few strawberries and cream is fine with me. I did go through a "why aren't they using a wine bottle to suspend it" moment of misunderstanding.

Thanks for that explanation Athena. Until now, I thought we were seeing them in numerical order.
We are seeing them in numerical order. Just a new numerical order imposed by PBS! That'll teach the damn Brits to use "Bake-Off"!
I loved Francis who made the paper bag sandwich cake and the secret squirrel show stopper. And Ruby is getting on my last nerve. People that sensitive shouldn't subject themselves to intense competition. Watching someone weep isn't a pleasant experience for me. There was a similar woman on the American season.
Wasn't the Princess Cake (from last season), Paul's recipe?

The girls could have taken a page from the boys and focused on the 60's. Jackie Kennedy made pink suits the height of fashion and Carnaby Street pushed orange and neon yellow.Purple is considered death though in fashion. It's NEVER fashionable. Nor is Pink. That was the women's options (made worse by the fact that they were given no true Reds to use--even the paint was Pink).
Their problem wasn't the colors, it was lack of a concept or theme to focus on.

I still don't see what people object to about the waffle boys. They're cute; they're nice. They have good food and their work areas look spotless even when they're cooking. Their high mark up is good business in my book, not a negative.
I don't object to them. I started seeing them as Oompah Loompahs during this episode.
My SIL gave me a great cookbook called "Will It Waffle?" You can cook almost anything in a waffle iron!
Glad to see the Pho truck finally ditch the corn dog banh mi.

S04.E04: Pies and Tarts
in The Great British Bake Off
I have been told by many people that I make the best pecan pie in the world, and you could not get me to try it. It's four kinds of sugar with a few nuts on top! Just follow the recipe and hope everyone else is happy.
There was someone on Top Chef who was allergic to an ingredient (shrimp) that she was required to use and had to have someone else taste the dish.
Couldn't we make a drinking game out of Paul saying cooostard?
