Is Tia's husband still in jail, does anyone know? I only watched sporadically back when the show started in CA, but I remember him being re-arrested.

In the recent ep where the male HO went to school with Joanna, seems like they had the budget for a new house. Why bother with a fixer in the first place ... Chip, you're in Texas. You could get by with "ya'll's" if necessary, but "you guyses" to for a joint possessive is not acceptable from a 40-something man!

This ep was TH Hunting on FYI, but I had to come and squeal because one of the houses was in my old neighborhood of Travis Heights in Austin. Hurray, I guess. That's the house they "removed" from their long list of three to make the decision so much more manageable. I would quibble with the notion that any neighborhood in East Austin could be considered "downtown," but whatever. I was going to throat-punch the female hunter if she mentioned their upcoming wedding one more time, but then she mentioned it a bunch more and I remembered she is on TV and I have no access to her throat. I do sort of know where she lives, though.

Hildegard's indeterminate accent sure seems to come and go. Eh, just looked her up and the actress, Pheline Roggan, is German. Joke's on me, then!

I was a bit confused why Amanda and her fiancé were in Grantchester for Sunday services. Have they started attending because they're going to be married there? They don't live that close, if I'm understanding the geography correctly. Amanda had been taking the train to visit Sidney previously.

Ouch. Not so cozy after all. I'm really enjoying seeing the character development all around, especially Leonard. I was imagining he'd remain nothing more than a comic relief cardboard cutout. Shaving the mustache was good for him. Even Mrs. Maguire has thawed a bit.

I thought the Yakky trio were nice enough but concur that they weren't there for a deal. I moused over to Amazon and holy dried milk, those things sell for $7-11 per bag (or around $2/ounce). Reviews average a little over 4 stars for the line as a whole, so people seem to like them. There are other competitors/brands.

Just not those shapeless things with an elastic waistband! They're not even tailored and look ridiculous with heels. Good lord.

So ... what's up, lip balm people? I have never used the stuff in my life, or thought I needed to. I've lived in California, North Dakota, and Florida among others, so I don't think humidity is a factor. WHY ARE EVERYONE'S LIPS SO DRY? Now I feel kind of bad for you.

The death knell is tolling when I start FF'ing so much. Be nice if the focus would expand so it's not all relationships all the time. There's a lot of time-traveling tsuris to be had! Even Becca's job is fizzling out for me. I may resort to just coming here to find out what happens.

Ha! Kathy's hair has made tremendous strides since her reality show years, but I was obsessed with that ratty end of a dreamcatcher hanging over her shoulder. I've always believed that Kelly either photographs very, very poorly or that she outright lied about being a size 2 after her weight loss. I'm sure she's tiny in real life, but her arms always look plump on TV and the tight sweater on this episode was doing her midsection no favors. And all of them use stylists!

All right, I realize it means nothing but it cheeses me off that lately the funniest person on the panel has been eliminated. Well, it does mean I don't get to hear one last joke from them.

How smart can these kids be if they're unable to add two scores to know who's in the top and bottom each week? The judges announce the totals each time. Ryan wasn't having it when his big brother tried to put in his two cents worth of nagging and guilt-tripping. Well, Ryan doesn't have it from his parents, either. I love Binyamin and his dad. They seem to have a very loving and close relationship and Alon cracks me up with his hippy-ish martial arts and yoga and visualization techniques or whatever it is he's doing. I also enjoy Vanya's dad pushing water like it's cocaine. He reminds me of the father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding who thought a squirt of Windex was the answer to all of life's ills.

Love those! I swear, I could watch an hour of just the games. I enjoy the segments for Bitch Stole My Look (because it is interesting how different the same clothes really can look) and Rack Report (for G's motorboating and other titty-related obsessions.) I noticed they're no longer giving the panelists 10 seconds to sum up their worst dressed nominations. I don't exactly miss it, but there were occasionally a couple of zingers to be had.

Jesus, Doug! The world does not need to know that! We are not your sex therapists. I ended up fast-forwarding all his interviews after he explained his 90 second premature ejaculation. And Cortney doesn't get to just inform Jason that she's going to freelance instead of finding a steady job. They need look at their budget together to see if they can make it work, for how long, what corners they can cut, etc. And starting her own makeup line? Oy. Like that's not expensive. Again, I didn't bother with Monet's scenes. With all the skipping I do, the show is pretty manageable.

I felt so sorry for the parents, especially the dad. Not only the death, but the betrayal by someone they liked and trusted. Not taking anything away from the brunette victim in the park, but I was attacked with a knife once* and I think the immediate impulse is to try to grab it, blade end or not. * Not nearly as dire as it sounds. When I was 22, a teenage guy broke into my apartment during the night to steal my purse for the second time. After the first theft, which was accomplished while I was out in the laundry room, I was keeping it in my bedroom and was instantly awake as soon as he stepped into the room. I screamed, which scared the crap out of him and he came towards me with the knife. I sat up in bed and we struggled for a very brief few seconds, which is when I tried to grab the knife. He ran out. I followed him to the living room, where he was trying to get the chain off the door. (He had come in through the window.) He ripped the lock off the door frame and hightailed it. I ran outside after him, but honestly, my only thought in following was to make sure he was gone. The other thing was that I had $2 in my wallet the first time it was stolen, so for the guy to come back hoping for another large payout showed his stupidity. No doubt someone who lived nearby, or even in the same complex. This was the early 70s. The cop who was dusting for fingerprints told me that I should get a gun and next time, make sure that was the end of it. He did specify that if I killed the burglar outside my house, to make sure to drag him inside before calling the police. I was pretty young but even then was all, "Good grief, dude." I went over to my boyfriend's house that night and moved out the next day. Lost my deposit and everything. ;)

We need the continual small exposure in order to build up immunity anyway, right? I take a Clorox wipe to my phone, laptop, mouse, and remote control every so often, but that's as much for the grime as anything. The Mythbusters tackled the toothbrushes-in-the-bathroom-are-contaminated-with-fecal-matter question: They stocked ... a bathroom with 24 toothbrushes, two of which they brushed with each morning. The others they simply rinsed every day for a month. As experimental controls, the MythBusters kept two new toothbrushes under a plastic container in another room far away from the lavatory. At the end of the month-long trial, all the toothbrushes were speckled with microscopic fecal matter, including the two that had never seen the inside of a bathroom. The confirmed myth proved that there's indeed fecal matter on toothbrushes — and also everywhere else.

Except Sherlock would have specified, "6' stepladder" or "telescoping ladder" or whatever. ;) I assumed Sherlock was in tears in London because he was at his nadir, an emotional wreck and struggling mightily not to relapse. Having no purpose was destroying him. I didn't think it was Kitty specifically he was mourning, only that having no one to tutor and occupy his mind was another boulder on his crushing pile of depression. I also thought Kitty's "I love you" was offered in friendship, but now I'm thinking perhaps she did mean romantic love -- another surprise for me as a viewer, because I didn't see it coming at all.

It bothered me last week and even more this time. Becca has got to stop macking on someone else's boyfriend. She wasn't even sure she wanted to marry Andy in her own timeline, for crying out loud. It also bugged me that Andy didn't immediately go after Melanie when she stormed out.

Well, that was an interesting hour of repeats tonight. One of my favorites, The Scavenger Vortex, with Amy and Howard having the best! time! ever! rocking out to Neil Diamond, paired with The Guitarist Amplfication, featuring Penny and Leonard bickering for 22 minutes. Not to mention the weeks of online discussion afterwards about which of them was right.

Here's my question -- if the 35 degree angle is what's so important according to the Squatty people, why can't one simply leave one's feet on the floor and bend one's torso forward to achieve that same angle? I tend towards the "can't stop" type of alimentary tract rather than "can't go", so am ill suited to testing the theory myself.

It took a while for this to play out and I'm not saying some of it didn't bore me, but Jesu Christo, what a payoff. Brilliant writing and acting all around. I include LL because I think she's kept her buttoned-up portrayal of Watson very consistent, while still letting us see the underlying concern, anger, jealousy, and even hurt beneath her own mask.

This is something for his analyst, which I hope he has, but why so much? He has said he hates being off work, and I assume his brain being on constant spin cycle also takes a toll on his romantic relationships. His manic ambition and (over) drive come off more as fear or desperation to me. Huh. I was unaware until this topic started that I even had opinions on Chris, but apparently they've been simmering.

Yikes, Starri! I'm totally phobic about bugs and could never. Let us know, even though it will give me shivers just reading about it.

My sense is that this is also why Jason finds the fire academy so incredibly difficult. I mean, I've never personally given him an IQ test, but I doubt any of his friends would leap to describe him as erudite. And now we're getting to the real question of what Doug sees in Jamie. Just because she's pretty?
