  1. Very succintly and accurately put. An off-kilter show.
  2. This is exactly what I was saying to myself last night. Nowhere did they show why the swans or their swains would want to have Truman around at all. He seemed like the obnoxious bore at most of the parties/dinners they showed. This episode's Jessica Lange sequence was especially egregious and boring.
  3. I know. She looked like she was auditioning for the Halloween edition of this show. That eye makeup? Just no.
  4. Same for me. It seems this show is pushing Answered Prayers as Capote's great swan song (heh) where he recaptures his writing talent and goes out in glory. But everything I've heard about it is that it's bad, just really badly badly written. What is the point of this series? Nothing coheres.
  5. Huh, that's right. We always got them in our Christmas stockings.
  6. Both my sister and I had an immediate negative reaction to him for the same reason. He looks like Elon Musk.
  7. I think there's four Canadians and four Floridians. Don't people in other states (countries) bake? Me, too. I liked it a lot. How smart to "paint" the inside of the "coconut shell" and "lid" with the coconut cream. I was underwhelmed by Preheat winner Anna's Swiss roll. I thought it looked childish.
  8. I've only watched the reveal so far, but agree with the above. I voted for Paige and Mitch's kitchen so I was happy they won. Exactly what we said! Also, Mrs. B has the most boring antiseptic no-style. Everything she does looks industrial -- not in a good sense, but in the institutional, mid-level hotel sense. Their space was so dark. I'll have to watch the whole thing to make more comments. My sister and I debated whether to put this seaosn on the dvr, but then almost simultaneously we said "But we love to snark at them too much!" We'll stick it out for at least one more season. 😁
  9. Yeah, totally. Did you see him in that Funny Woman show on PBS just a little while ago? I didn't even recognize him.

    I think it was Dot's house that @Gloriosa is referring to. IIRC, in that scene they didn't enter the house, but you could see from looking into the front hallway area that construction/repairs were going on.
  11. This exactly. They're just paper dolls at this point and repeating the same things; doing the same things. Another made-up character for the Capote "character" to bounce off against and make himself sound oh-so-philosophical and world-weary. Boring. Wonder why the Beatty girl got a nose job.
  12. When she was talking about her championship crown at the beginning, I was thinking "Uh oh, pageant girl alert." I felt for Levi, but I think he unconsciously sabotaged himself. He tried too hard to go over the top, over-extended himself, and couldn't recover when things went south. Also, my sister said he jinxed himself when he said he had a cake all planned for the finale. I'd like to see him get a second chance in one of their "special" competitions. Oscar, too. Tasi would be too much for me IRL (I'm diagnosing through my TV and saying she must have some ADHD), but I got a kick out of watching her on this show. It's nice to see a kid be openly excited about things and not so controlled.
  13. Well, that was completely rancid. Blame everything on the women. Did any of them other than CZ come from much wealth and influence? Lee had it in her background, but it was mostly gone except for a wisp of reputation. They married the people who had the real power and influence. They only had control of a tiny sliver of society that Truman desparately wanted to be a part of. This show is making me less sympathetic to Capote than more.
  14. Thanks for for so succintly putting into words what I couldn't.
  15. Yes, women didn't begin to outlive men in general until late in the 19th century.
