  1. Every other season they do a head-to-head centered around some sport, often football.  Watching the mascots move was a nice touch.  It was also good that the judges were all food professionals (if you can call Padma that), rather than "fans" or random crowds as so often happens.

    It's always strange which items they think should be made from scratch, and which ones they don't care about.  If the one gal had served rice noodles, would they complain that she didn't make the noodles herself?

    I really had to laugh after the first episode. They spent the whole show talking about how diverse the show is. So the whitest team wins - with pot roast. 

    The guy who won with the pot roast is Mexican-Salvadoran.

  3. I thought this was a great episode.  Really illustrated the fact that men and women can have non-sexual but still emotionally deep connections.  Harry and Asta, Ben and Darcy, Sheriff and Deputy, Goliath and Gallery Lady

    I agree!  The only upside is as a viewer I feel even though it’s ep one I know I them better than normal. The teams felt more cohesive  

    And I guess I need to try pot roast in my instant pot now. 

    If you want a revelation - make your pot roast in the oven.  It takes hours but you get a depth of flavor that you'll never get when you cook it on the stove or in a pressure cooker.  Use red wine for the braising liquid also.  The hard part for me these days is finding a piece of meat with a bone.

    I was surprised that they didn't do the usual judging fakeout by bringing up two teams for top and bottom judging.  The Brown team looked really surprised at being on top!

    Seriously cannot believe Conan came for the Five-Timers sketch. NBC seriously railed him with the late night deal, and I wouldn't blame him for having a grudge even now.

    He may not have ended up with the job, but he got a lot of money out of NBC.  Crying all the way to the bank money.  He's OK.

  6. Loved that every time someone was going to discuss the basis of Charlie and Diane's feud, they got interrupted.  We will never know.

    And no Eustace .... Charlie was always forgetting him anyway...

  7. Madison is breast feeding twins.  That gives her an extra vote in my opinion.  Of course she and Kevin should have actually talked about their holiday plans, but it's TV so whacky hijinks due to miscommunication must occur.

    The Beth plot was so dreadful it should be referred to as Voldemort.

    I actually liked the comparison of Madison's and Rebecca's new romances.  And it looks like we're starting to get a little of the Miguel-Rebecca story that many have wanted since the beginning of the show.

    I don't get the Elijah creepy vibe.  I always love when an outsider out-Pearsons one of the Pearsons and that's just what he did.

    It is annoying waiting for people who do not have the necessary skill to back in in one try.  I'm always having to wait for someone driving a gargantuan vehicle to inch back and forth to fit into a parking spot. 

    My pet peeve is people doing this when arriving at football games.  They all drive enormous pickups that I'd need a pogo stick to get in.  And even though there's people walking around, throwing footballs, cooking over open flames, playing cornhole, and kids darting about, every last one of these guys has to back in.  Usually takes them three or four tries.  We've taken to raising our alcoholic beverages in salute to anyone who just drives into the spots.  No ice, snow, or steep incline excuses.  And, usually not nearly as many people around when you leave.

    I'm in awe of how many of you have garages empty enough to park in!  Mine is still full of crap from cleaning out my mother's place.

    I can always tell when a "Old West" scene is not shot in the United States but in Europe.  The knee action of European Warmbloods or Andalusian's is very different from the knee action of a Quarter horse.

    I don't know about that, but I did make a snide comment to the cat about how many white horses they bought.  There were four on the stagecoach and then all the bad guys were riding them.  Probably the same horses, she realized mournfully.

  10. I watched the early runs of Big Air before switching to Peacock for the skating.  You could not pay me to even look down that course, much less ski down backwards.  I kept asking my daughter where the netting was!  It looked like you could hook a ski and just head over the side with nothing to stop you.
