Paul and Prue ranted about too much spice in the first bake, I can't believe they had the nerve about too little in the second. I'm so sad. Nelly was my favorite.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of it either. I thought Andy's departure was easy to predict this week. I really like him.

You must've forgotten that it was Mara's FIRST HALLOWEEN WITH THEM. I'm rolling my eyes so hard I may never see straight again. I'd much rather have had Halloween just be the final straw, or something, to other missed holidays. And granted I'm old but I had no sympathy for an adult whining about taking THREE KIDS trick or treating. Especially with one of them being as old as Denny. I'm glad he's okay; I like that kid.

Agreed! That lovely big balcony and the on-price rent was great.

I thought he did! but then since they didn't mention it, I decided maybe it was someone else with that name. It didn't even occur to me that they wouldn't mention another baking show.

Yeah I'd be on Team Separate and Look, with I hope a few seconds at the end to compare notes. Having both team members prowl around together seems like a time-sucking strategy.

Truer words have never been spoken.

The first thing I have to say is a heartfelt "SHUT UP DANA AND LAZY SNL WRITERS! KEEP BIDEN OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS." I liked Alec as Baier. Boy was this a crazy political week. Michael Keaton was amazing and creepy as Toby the Cookie Guy on ShopTV! His face was so TIGHT. "Now That's What I Call Dementia" was a perfect title for Trump's play list. As usual, I could have done without Sarah Sherman on Update. I liked the Uber game show and Nebraska Girl getting all the answers right. Did Jesus have a drivers license? Not MY lord and savior! It wasn't until Michael Keaton showed up that I realized he'd been gone for a while. The Mexican restaurant sketch baffled me. They must've had something that was cut for time that would've been better than this. And I wonder if they just have Samberg there every weekend just in case they decide to use him?

I was wishing for one more scene: where Bobby asks Gerrard what he would have said in, say, the "whack it with a shovel" TV show scenario and he says what Bobby said "But I would have added, this is a TV show." He's REALLY ready to retire and doesn't have to turn a TV show into a working firehouse the way Bobby did (because he wasn't ready to retire). As others have said, it was so refreshing to have Bobby just say practically right away, I don't want to live in the house Michael designed for you two.

I loved the orange baking dishes they used for the tarts. I assume that Noel said something about destroying Nelly's caramel, but it didn't really matter so they skipped it. I would've left it in if he said it, though.

To me that's always been this show's strength, the 911 vignettes. I feel the same. For some reason it doesn't bother me that the show uses stuff like this for its premieres.

If this post shouldn't be here, please let me know and I'll delete it (but I don't see a Media or other kind of thread). Today the Nebraska Supreme Court threw a Simpsons reference into an opinion. “Patty and Selma at the Department of Motor Vehicles may not be constitutional scholars, but they know that they are expected to follow the law ... ”

I think he called him Kenan.

I'm already tired of Dana's Biden. I was hoping that they filmed this last week when everyone was there, and it was the same writers and we won't be seeing this for the whole season, but then everyone being there tonight made me lose that hope. I wonder how hard it was for Ariana to sing badly in the bridesmaid sketch. I thought of all her impressions were good. Especially Celine Dion! Hey WU: Trump was at Calhoun Ranch, not where the Coachella music festival is held. Ariana was compelling as the castrato. I did like the Jennifer Coolidges. It was great to see Stevie Nicks. I can't remember if I've ever seen a cue card being shown twice, as in the hotel detectives sketch.

I saw the episode where the woman and her daughter moved from Jamaica to Mexico. I was, as usual, rolling my eyes hard at how little the HH wanted to spend. But she has a bunch of social media accounts and her twitter said something I'd never heard before: that the prices on her episode "weren't quite accurate." I'll put the rest in spoiler tags: Interesting, I thought.
