  1. Since they're doing past seasons, it would be hilarious if they did the episode with the two guys from People's Couch and then had them join in.  I don't remember what season it was but it was definitely Lee as captain.  The primary was a psychic who couldn't get anything right about Lee.  And I think Kate and Ben had a screaming match that the guests could hear.

    I thought I wouldn't need closed-captioning anymore after Lizzie left but it turns out I need it for Chigs sometimes too. "Just a massive sammie dodger innit?" What? Also "I am now cacking it." What does cacking mean? And at one point, even closed-captioning couldn't understand what he was saying: "[mumbles] entreme!"

    Massive Jammie Dodger - a kind of sweet with jam

  3. If I'm going to spend $28M+ on a house, I don't think I'm really going to care too much that the kitchen is too orange - because I'm unlikely to be spending any time there.  I'll have people who work in there and can bring me my meal in the dining room or out by the pool.

    If Flagg wants to have dinner parties, he needs to get a decent sized table.  And better art.

    OMG I HATE the Facebook commercials where they "interview" employees about their "jobs" and how fabulous Facebook is.  Because A) Facebook is not fabulous (not that I know this since I'm not connected), and 2) those people are AWFUL!  

    I live near Facebook headquarters and everyone I've ever met who works for them absolutely loves the company.  It's like a cult.

    Pronunciation of that word varies greatly.  I, for one, don't really say the 'l'.  It is more like "ahmonds" when I say it.  That commercial is annoying as hell, though.

    Where they grow almonds in the Central Valley they say "aahmonds" - long ago there was a commercial about it.  The tag line was "we bang the L out of them."

  5. While I agree that the actual fashion has been subpar for the entire season, I actually liked Christina's neon green outfit and think she deserved to win.

    It was also heartening to see how excited the designers were to partner with another creative person.  Usually when they have to partner up the result is lots of bullying and complaining.  Everyone got along with their accessory designer.  There was actual collaboration going on.

    I know they have little time, but a 2-3 minute google search has short articles on what not to wear for a tv appearance.  The idea is to dress for the camera, and not dress like you are in person.

    They can't google but they had the actual people right there, and very few seemed to have listened or had any followup questions.

    I never heard of her until a contestant from Hannah Brown's Bachelorette season (Tyler?) dated her for a while.

    Didn't Mikey Day's kid change all his contacts to Gigi Hadad? So whoever called him or texted him, it was from Gigi Hadad.

    Do you think American Idol started that?   It’s like every competition show does this. 

    In American Television contestants crying about how bad their lives were can be traced back to Queen for a Day, a contest show from the late 50s.  The point of the show was for each contestant to describe her horrible life and the audience decided who had it worst and she became Queen for a Day and got a washing machine or a refrigerator as a prize.

    It's our heritage folks.

    But now I see that people here believe Eddie's apology was scripted.  That's interesting.  Well, he's either a terrific apologizer or a very good actor.  

    I thought the entire encounter was producer-mandated.  There was no reason for Eddie to apologize to her at all.  He literally couldn't talk to her at the time because she was shit-faced and embarrassing the boat.

  10. They've started rerunning the Coffee Mate seasonal flavors commercial with the gingerbread man who is supposed to guess the word on his head which is "snow."  What has me scratching my head are all the terrible terrible hints the people give him:  "it really makes the season" and "it comes at the end of the year" - things like that.  It's "snow" wouldn't you say:  "it's cold!" or "one form of precipitation" or "rhymes with ho" ?

    How this commercial has lasted the test of time, I'll never know.

  11. We watched her "holiday" special featuring the Wampanoag tribe in Massachusetts and how they celebrate/mourn Thanksgiving.

    Interesting, but I'd read an article in the Washington Post on the same subject, interviewing many of the same people, just this week.

    I didn't understand why he broke Jurgen's but lifted Giuseppe's?

    That had us scratching our heads also.  He should have lifted all or broken all. Except Lizzie's.

    Sorry to see George go, but he went out on a high note.  Only one to even try a sugar dome.  In one of the Christmas specials they had to make sugar domes also.

  13. For once I don't agree with their design decisions.  It looked like they walked in and said "we have to keep the fireplace no matter what."  Then they found the strange sun room behind the living room.  If they had taken out the fireplace, or "relocated" it, the result would have been a lovely large sunlit living room with space for a play area for the kids.  What they ended up with were two long narrow spaces, one with too much furniture.

  14. Heather may have been passive-aggressive with the guests, but she had every opportunity to throw Fraser under the bus and did not take them.  She got him alone and talked to him one on one.  That's good management.

    The first charter is always crappy because no one knows where anything is.

    I know there was one a few seasons ago, because at the time, Paul said he’d never given one for a showstopper before. I don’t recall who it was for, though.

    Didn't the asian guy who saved himself from certain doom with a Key Lime Pie showstopper get one?  He had biffed both signature and technical.  It was many seasons ago and I think they were asked to make an American pie.  Paul immediately went into spasms declaring them disgusting.

    This group seems super tight with one another.  Juergen and Chrystelle giving each other encouraging pats over how they did in the Technical was really cute.

    And apparently it's called the "Action Stance" not the wide stance.

    LOL, I had forgotten about everything being "Fierce!" with him.  I think he's done an excellent job of maturing into both of his designer/mentor roles.

    His other constant comment was about "hot tranny messes" - if you ever do manage to rewatch the season, apparently the production company has gone through and removed all of those.

  17. No love for Giuseppe's wide stance?

    This was an OK episode, no where near the offensive levels of Japanese week.

    Bye Freya - she really took on a difficult task deciding to do all vegan in signatures and show stoppers, and did remarkably well.
