As if we don't have enough false and misleading information around already, I saw this on television recently:
"Hi. I'm Jan from Toyota"
No you not, you're Laurel Coppock, an actress who is paid by Toyota to play a person named "Jan".
And guess who shows up next:
"Hi. This is Lily from AT&T."
No your not Lily, you're Milana Vayntrub, and actress who is paid by AT&T to play a person named "Lily".
I wish these companies wouldn't think we are so stupid not to realize that all these "spokespersons" are just actors hired by them to play a part. I can't think of an actor who played a part (even though he/she might be stereotyped in that role) showing up, claiming they are that person.
It's like William Shatner appearing on the screen saying, "Well, yes, I've been to space. I am Captain Kirk".

I didn't like any of the offers this week, but I did LOL when the grill people thanked everyone for the opportunity to be there and got ready to leave when one of the sharks said they could make a counter offer. Then they got a deal. And after almost goofing up the script!
You forgot the pre-requisite sob story with the deaf (sorry, hearing impaired) person. When you have to have a sob story to get a deal, I have no respect for your product.

I have no idea who Jeremy Renner is.
2 hours ago, Ubiquitous said:He played Hawkeye in the Avengers movies and I think he got an Oscar Award for The Hurt Locker. He seems pretty cool, from what I've seen.
And according to the Jeep commercial--he's a singer.

I guess whether this show succeeds is if you find Glen a believable guy or not. So far, ok.
But one thing that bugged me is when he got the job cleaning someone's home. He said he hasn't picked up a mop in years, and boy, did it show. He didn't even move the rugs while washing the floor.

And I honestly was surprised by how few people voted on the dessert challenge. If $200 was "wise choice" vs $25 per vote, it means were there 7 votes or fewer for the winning team and even fewer for the other three. Which means at most 25 people paid $5 to judge the competition. I would think something staged by a major TV production would bring more traffic. 25 sales is hardly successful for an office/church/school bake sale.

I too was puzzled by the "Food Truck math" when I first heard it. I came here to see if others had heard the same thing I did.
The only thing that made sense to me was Tyler misspoke. For a large TV production to only have 25 or so people to participate is kind of unbelievable. And the trucks seemed to be pushing out the food. So for 1 food truck to have only 7 customers is hard to believe.
What I think Tyler meant to say was (paraphrasing): "You can take $200 or take $25 dollars for every vote you scored over your next closest competitor."
And even at that, it's a mouthful.

Good thing Production gave that idol to Christian. He would have been toast without it. Of course he would play it. Now that he did, this is the time to vote him out.
But noooooooo, he will win the whole thing, due to the stupid play of others.

But it would have been very simple for Jeff to have announced the concept of the Idol Nullifier sometime before this episode. That could have then given everyone fair notice there was an Idol Nullifier and it would have prevented anyone from thinking they were somehow treated unfairly when it was used. Can you imagine if you were Dan? For 37 seasons, whenever someone played a HII, they could be certain they would be safe from the vote. But, all of a sudden, that was no longer true and Dan had no chance at all to see it coming.
That's why I only cursory watch this show and don't invest much into it.
Christian got nearly all the votes last week (but production likes him--he does a lot of the talking heads) so we'll make sure he gets an idol.
Next week someone will find the Double-Nullifier, play it, only to be countered by the Triple Sun Idol. If the sun is shining, the idol has triple the power and you can save three castaways.
But play that carefully, because the Steal-An-Idol Idol is not far away. You can steal someone's idol by asking them if they have one, and if they do, it's yours. This is not to be confused with the Steal-A-Vote Thrice advantage, where you can steal someone's vote and vote three times yourself.
But if you're stealing someone's vote, make sure they don't have the Advantage Double Back, which will mean two votes for you at Tribal Council.
If you don't believe me, ask Jeff.

Can someone explain to me what is going on in the Grammerly commercial called "The Sell"? It seems they have a beaten up old desk and decide to name it "Hugo". Why (the name), and for what purpose? The desk is sold and................ What just happened? (I know the small spelling mistakes and incorrect grammar were corrected in the commercial.) Should there be "cute" names for everything on sale?

Can anyone stand this little creature?

I'm surprised no one addressed the elephant in the room re: the Gunnar glasses: What if you already wear glasses? Also, this was the first product I've seen on Shark Tank that I was familiar with. Someone I know has them and wears them just for gaming. I'm not in that demographic.
Something must have be edited in the Solar pitch for Mark to jump on it so quickly.

I'm surprised no one noticed that this paid homage to the great Twilight Zone episode, " The Invaders". One alone woman against a smaller threat, robots (i.e. spacemen).
Even the B&W was a great callback.

About the Christmas tree:
Barbara said, "One of the things I don't like about this is you have to display it"
Huh? I thought Christmas trees were for display. I had to rewind to be sure.
Roc Box must have some type of wheels to move it around the record.
So instead of a stylus being the only thing in contact with the record (on a traditional player), you have the stylus plus some wheels scuffing up the vinyl.

I'm sorry but the new GE commercial "Imagination" just blew my mind.

is when Jae goes to exuberantly bear-hug Barbara, causing her skirt to ride up and giving the other Sharks a little too much of a view of her equity stake.
I think the other Sharks are familiar with Barbara's "equity stake" seeing she has told the story (on Shark Tank) of working as waitress and wearing no underwear to get better tips. Ugg.

I hate that Barbara is now using Mark Cuban's "shot clock".
When heating soup in the microwave, I just put a plate underneath it. For splatter, a paper plate on top. I don't need to spend 20 dollars for a silicon bib that I have to wash it after use.
If your dog's tags keep you awake from scratching, take them to the vet. It's probably another problem (maybe fleas?).

I hope Barry goes back and changes the timeline, because this timeline is stupid.
All in all, I prefer Wells as a villain.

I think that the one thing that is understated on this show is: The closer you know the source material, the more you appreciate this show.

Things that bugged me this episode:
1) No stairs on the eye for our time travelers
2) Not throwing the bomb out the window (or at least trying to)
It will be interesting to see how they deal with all the timeline changes in the present time (and there should be many).

I was only half watching, but the one time I heard Tregaye judging one of the kids' dishes, she said nothing specific. Not one thing. She made the separate comments that were basically "It was amazing." I don't know if that's typical of her, but all three of these kids can do better when speaking spontaneously about food.
I thought that was the funny part. Even though Tregaye was tasting the dishes, she had no input on the judging. The hosts basically said, "Thanks, you can leave now."

Just a heads up. The finale will air at 7pm EDT on Monday, not 8 like the previous episodes.
I wonder what the ratings were for Food Network to be burning this off at 7pm.
So much for not hearing the word "fleek" again.
I wish the Food Network would come up with some new creative programming. It can't be that hard.
Celebrities? I can't stop laughing.

One of the principles of e-mail, is if you write one when angry or upset don't send it. Wait a while and come back to it. Very good advice. Of course the kids these days are all about texting, so everything is shorter and faster but the same principle applies.
This is great advice, and I have used it for years with every e-mail I send or even a post that I write.
What I don't understand is how the software works. Even it if flags words like "ugly", "creepy", or other such adjectives, a "creative" bully could get around them. Instead of sending the "you are ugly" message, what if the sender wrote " you seem very handsome, but you are not". I doubt the software could flag that.

You know, this clip show wasn't bad, it was awful.
