"Are you going toddler on me?" On Psych this was referred to as going boneless.

Every time I saw Michelle's model I thought, "This wasn't the design-an-outfit-that-Alyssa-can-wear-right-now challenge." Dmitry bugs me. It wasn't avant garde and it was a recycled idea. Didn't Fabio use that color pink to mimic the color of the tube worms? Like, be true to your inspiration.

Well that may explain why he named the town Pawnee and then invented the Wamapoke Indians to live there. East Coasters.......

And playing croquet! I did laugh out loud at "the news is already black!"

It was the red track suit. Cracked me up too. Didn't Nick call it his "word processor?" That's a description you don't hear anymore.....

That was spectacularly unfunny - approaching Season 1 levels of bad. Werner Herzog and the return of Lucy were the only redeeming aspects.

The shot of Terry Crews with those weights - I just said "Dear God" in astonishment. I've never seen anyone do curls with that much weight. Patrick Willis is hiding his head in shame. Who doesn't find a horny dog funny? Three maybe overkill though. Whole wheat no flavor nutrition bricks - it's got to be better than green smoothies.

Re the death of Dr. Reginald Crawley my madness is spreading! BTW - has anyone but me noticed that Thomas no longer has an artificial hand. Guess it was too much trouble. And on a less snarky front - I too think it's odd that with all the talk about the war memorial, no one has mentioned Thomas' service or the household's fallen. Shouldn't the committee be consulting with the widows of those who died? That would include Mary and Daisy. Not to mention Ethel the forgotten prostitute.

She's very brittle! I bet Tony's not very good with buttons either. Sex Week! tee hee

Ebony Falcon needs to read Go Dogs Go!

Hooray for Luis! I like a man unafraid to use gold leaf to decorate the olives on his bread show stopper. Even if I'd been told to let my ciabbata rise at room temperature, I might be tempted to put it in the proofing drawer when the temperature dropped and torrential rain started in. Again, why are they in a tent? Jordan's goopy berry twisty loaf looked horrid at every stage. I can't imagine why it would ever work, unless he used miniature berries. Bye Bye. I counted two duckies and a horse.

I can't stop seeing her as Olive Oyl.... So many of these designers are now filling me with hate (Michelle, Dmitry, Helen, especially) that I can barely watch the show any more.

I hope when this thing is finally over, that Fellowes has it that Bates secretly was behind all the evil things that happened. He did kill Vera and rapist valet! He got rid of Grigson in Germany. He caused Matthew's car crash. He convinced the Earl that the other doctor was right about how to treat Sibyl. He infected Lavinia with the Spanish Flu even if he had to do it from prison! He probably talked Robert into all those schemes that lost all Cora's money. He sank the Lusitania! It's all been Bates Bates Bates! He's pure evil.

If anyone had dared call that woman Dowager, she would have gotten her revenge! I think that the term is only used when there is someone else with the same title, in order to eliminate confusion. On Downton, Cora is the current Countess of Grantham, so Violet is referred to as the Dowager Countess. Violet is still Countess, but this way everyone knows who you are talking about. With the Duchess of Windsor, no one else became Duke of Windsor after her husband's death, so there was no new Duchess and she could continue on being referred to as the Duchess of Windsor with no confusion.

Me too. Sorry about Doug, but it didn't look well cooked. That's when you should go. I know it's common to snark on the Texas season, but they had one challenge that was similar to this one and that's one of my favorite shows ever: The Evil Queen dinner with Charlize Theron. This reminded me of that. I agree that Gregory saying he was following Julia's own recipe is what spared us the Tom C rant on coq au vin and roosters. This is the first time I ever noticed how short he is - he's the same height as Jaques Pepin.

PIckles just likes to give kisses, Dre!

I must be getting tired of this - the only things that seemed funny were Schmidt getting oogled while he lotioned up, and all the people named Bishop graduating from the police academy.

Thanks.

Well if we're all weighing in, I, as an American, prefer American biscuits to scones, because I find that scones tend to be dry. But, as a German-American, I know that the real gingerbread made to make real gingerbread houses is inedible. It hardens to the consistency of concrete within 10 minutes of taking it out of the oven. If you were trapped with your gingerbread house in the Arctic winter, you could probably eat it. But you'd eat your shoelaces first. When I make it, there's always a phase that I call "wrestling with the dough" which sounds similar to what Enwezor mentioned. There's a great moment in the episode when Chetra (? Chitra - the Indian woman) realizes that Paul is lurking behind her and wills herself not to freak out!

Christopher Isherwood of course Jonathan Rabb's trio of mysteries about a Berlin police officer between the wars (Rosa, Light and Shadow, and The Second Son)

Me too! The whole show is worth it, if just for the signpost. And for Maybe You're Not the Worst Thing Ever!

All I know is that we were screaming at him not to do it because of her poison vagina. We also think that the production company has cornered the market in Dingy colored paint to use in the servants' quarters.

I appreciate how friendly the contestants are with each other. There's no "I'm not here to make friends!" attitude coming from any of them. Clearly they are given the theme and sent home to spend the week coming up with ideas. Hence the many patterns and examples of people doing trial runs at home. Did Martha make the marshmallows from scratch that she used to cover the base of her design? If not, why isn't that as horrible as Enwezor using store bought fondant? This after show that many of you are talking about isn't shown on my stations.

I like the camels at the zoo one!

I have never seen that one. But every freeway sign in the Bay Area has been displaying that message since the Monday before Xmas!They can't remind people to turn on their lights when it's raining, but they can put up that crap.
