Those blue drinks looked spectacular. I think mixing drinks for your fellow crew members is a fun and easy way to learn how to do it. It is a skill you need if you are a stew. The crew are your friends and won't complain if it's not perfect. What is wrong with the two of them? If someone spills red wine on a white carpet, you want salt to pull the liquid out, not more liquid.

Pumpkin spice is one of my pet peeves, but it doesn't sound so bad in egg nog. The filling for a pumpkin pie is basically egg nog (eggs and cream) + pumpkin and spices. + something alcoholic! My favorite grocery store has stacks of pumpkins outside along with other festive holiday items such as pine cones that are coated in some kind of scent that I loathe. Shopping over the weekend, I kept getting coughing fits and discovered that they had brought them inside. Guess they contain the cheap cologne ingredient that I'm allergic to.

I agree - Alison and Rhetta make a good combination together. She did good on this one and even got a new giant key! I wish she had painted the outside a different color - dark green, navy blue?

Tony getting hit by the bus on Skins On True Blood - the vampire attacks and kills a news anchor while the cameras are rolling and then delivers a monologue about how humans and vampires are not equal because vampires are better.

Why did Andy bust out his German in the voting booth? Teyana is Hawaiian

They mentioned the plot holes from season 1 again - could Marshall be related to Tim Kono?

Bless his heart. Was Grandma Do-iss? Clo-iss sounds better than Cloyce.

Unless it was explained to him ahead of time, he's right to get riled. However, this is the point for Daisy or Gary to show some leadership, handle the bill this time, and let Cloyce know he could do the same next time. Growing up we lived next door to a family with two girls named Joyce and Loyce. Cloyce is even weirder.

Antonio's mother was having an affair with Nino's father and went crazy when he left her. Antonio stood up for Lenu when Nino's father kept coming after her. Michele was beating Alphonso in the street. The previews made it look like he was beating Lila, but that's just because they were dressed alike. In the first episode when Lila is missing, Lenu reassures Rino (whether it's her brother or her son) that she's always wandering around and not to worry.

If you are a professional merchant mariner, then you have to be licensed and may have multiple licenses depending on the sizes/types of boats you are qualified to operate. In the U.S. the licensing is issued by the Coast Guard and involves taking tests and completing supervised training times. A few seasons back on Med Sandy fired a bosun who showed up without his certificates at the beginning of the season. You and I can take our friends out on our own boats, but if we were to accept money for rides, we would need to be licensed.

That luxury yacht that sank off Sicily in August was a few feet bigger than Parsifall. The title of the episode (according to IMDB) is Ibiza, Baby! Glenn doesn't strike me as an Ibiza type, but what do we know?

You need to be licensed to drive a tender. The other deck hands aren't. The official title of the episode (according to IMDB) is Tender Bender.

I'll probably keep watching this, but reluctantly, because I am a completist. Each episode seems to concentrate on a production-installed scary object that the contestants must deal with. That's up to half the episode. If they edited that down, this could be an hour long show. Again, they should have hiking poles for safety in this terrain. I don't need three mustache twirling villains. If no one was spooked by BeckyLou scampering up the ladder two rungs at a time, they're not paying attention. She and Dennis and Devon (the guy who went last) are playing way too hard. I think the host is part Maori.

Watched both episodes - she kind of is a monster. Especially for the second murder. Driven to distraction by the red shirt that the older reporter was wearing. With its big peplum on top - why go on TV in that?

There was one just two episodes back - Ayesha from the red team. Annika at least asked who voted her out. Shades of Jay saying "I did this!" With all the announcers and podcasters in the cast, no one is doing a running commentary to rival Probst's?

Why was Lilly the only one getting zapped?

And I make sure they are all slightly ajar just in case the cat goes inside and gets stuck. We do lots of things "because Edie could get stuck!." She's been stuck behind the shower curtain...

I was glad they didn't pick the first one in the NW - the one with the well inside. It looked like it was a real colonial and God knows what tragedy Allison Victoria would have inflicted on it.

Starting the plait was what did in Dylan on the technical. Instead of laying all the strands down parallel, he crossed five on the bottom with four on the top like ➕

Were we supposed to think that Bo was falling to his death? How ridiculous. Pumpkin: if you want to be taken seriously in life, don't go by a silly childhood nickname! (If it's Punkin, that's worse) Glad to see some of them had picked up walking sticks along the way. Nobody brought up Dennis dropping two boards crossing the bridge? Could have fueled his elimination with that.

Patrice had killed 4 people on camera when he "rescued" River, and then Marcus and threatened everyone in Slough House so not a big surprise. Loved Ho taking Grandpa C into the bathroom. They made the letters such a big focus and then nothing.

I have a hedge of jade plants - at our old home we had one of geraniums that the dogs would burrow through in the summer.

Rome is playing this like he's auditioning for House of Villains. Although after watching multiple seasons where players hold onto their idols/advantages far too long, it is refreshing to see someone play them ASAP.

Your plants look like they are doing well. African violets don't really need repotting, they like being pot bound. They do need a little real light. I had one in an office where a crack of light got in around the blinds and sticking it in that crack made it bloom magnificently. You might try some of the easier non-blooming plants. Stick a clove of garlic into a pot of soil, water it occasionally, and you'll get lots of green garlic and eventually more cloves. And when you are reading things, pay attention to the agricultural zone information. Everything is a perennial in California! Know your zone!

The Race to Survive show had their contestants start out in the same type of tussocked meadow as this one, with a big difference being that they were allowed to use hiking poles. Why weren't these contestants given them?
