I don't do that because I'm afraid I'll get spoiled, i.e., the winner's name will be mentioned.

I mostly know Matt from Little Britain and I think he's hilarious. I don't know how I did it but I missed the return of this show and only started watching it last night. It was nice to snuggle up and watch everyone's amazing baking skills. I'm retired now and I'm tempted to start baking again but I'm off sugar so it just doesn't make sense. I love when they veer away from the tent and show the bakers in their homes and with their families. Everyone seems so nice. The Scottish guy from Glasgow is going to be my undoing. I watch a lot of British TV and that's one accent I just can't understand, especially when spoken quickly. Kevin Bridges, a comedian from Glasgow, is a hard slog for me; VERY deep accent.

You win the Internets for the day. F*cking excellent.

Oh, pardon me. I read this and then I had that thing when vomit goes into your throat. I'd tell Natasha to run but 1) it's too late and 2) I don't care.

I think I like him. Reid said he was upset about the nude models because he comes from a deeply religious family. I expect he's going to get his "mind blown" about other things as the season progresses.

This metaphor is brilliant! Regarding the cake not working, my Dad had a similar story. He was on a small ship in the Pacific in the Navy during WWII. He wasn't the cook but for some reason he was asked to bake a cake. He said the cake never raised (is that the right word?). It stayed flat like when he poured in the batter. So the sailors gave him a colorful earful when they saw the not-cake. He said, "That's brownies, god damn it. You can eat 'em or you can throw 'em overboard."

I was absolutely gutted when I saw this. He's such a nice man and this is so sad to hear. Patricia needs to hire a new butler ASAP because Whitney a) doesn't want to do the job, and b) is no good at the job.

Friend, I don't mean to be a killjoy but alcohol may not be the answer. My ex was an alcoholic/addict though so I'm very biased, and you get to decide what works for you. Just remember the famous words of Homer Simpson, "Alcohol: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."

Yeah, me too. Why do they do that? Especially considering that I've always loved the name John. So masculine and strong (and yes, I'm thinking of a boy name John that I craved a long time ago). They need to think about ME a lot more.

This made me laugh out loud. I always forget how tall she is until there's a crowd scene and she's towering above everyone except maybe the men in the show.

Just heard this on the radio: Holiday - Green Day Holiday - Madonna

Funny how we see things differently. The episodes with Kenny Bania make me nervous. I can't stand his pandering and general wuss-like behavior, insisting they go to Mendy's for the meal. Maybe it's because my mom hated Bania so I do too. Ah well. To each their own.

Had to chime in with something childish and shallow. When the guests were doing the yoga, that camera shot from the "rear" was very unflattering and unnecessary. Why are the editors trying to make the guests look bad? It took me hours to get through this episode. I kept pausing it and doing other things and then going back to it. Not good.

This makes much more sense.

I may be wrong but doesn't Natalya also do the tablescapes, or is that Natasha climbing around up there.

Wait, what? I totally missed that. I am in awe of everyone that remembers players from previous seasons and other iterations of the BD franchise. Once they're off my screen, they're out of my brain forever, except Hannah and Kate. I liked BOTH of them. [moves away slowly and shields face]

Fantastically random!

I did, but then immediately thought she would probably be in the future seasons which I haven't watched yet.

I think it was purely aesthetics. At one point, I noticed that she had trimmed a ... leaf? ... into a tiny spear.

From Beck, Loser. What I've always sung: So shut the door, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me? What it really is: Soy, un perdedor (translate: I'm a loser), I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me? I can't believe you! To be fair, that logo is just horrible. How can you brand yourself if nobody can read your brand? Just terrible.

They're just butt-hurt because someone called them on their fuckery. And then the classic defense of (paraphrasing) 'there's nothing I hate more than a snitch.' Oh please, you've been phoning it in and it has gotten worse as the season progresses. I don't know if Captain Sandy really did notice what was going on or only claimed to once Natalya spoke up, but bosses usually do know what's going on. And one of the guests commented that it was taking a really long time to get the drinks and food.

Me too. He kept complaining about some kind of pain in his shoulder. I was wondering, wait, are we going to end up with two addicts?

No, you're not the only one. Perfect = boring. Or maybe I'm doing that "compare-and-contrast-to-my-own-life" thing again.

For some reason, I got the feeling that Tash was actually ignoring all of those texts and that's why they didn't show the content. When the texts came in, she threw her phone down. Meanwhile, her ex was sending, sending, sending and getting no response and, by the time she looked at the messages, he had gotten pissed off. She needs to tell him "I am working. Text me at [insert time] your time and we can chat." And then turn the damn thing off.

One of my favorites. She really gets into the role. If you look closely, you will see some of the rest of the cast trying to hold back laughter while watching Elaine, especially Jerry's mom. And let's face it folks. Any episode with Jack Klompus in it is a winner.
