Sam and Trish singing "Never Been To Me". Loved it. Joel kills me. I have been there....spending time with family and enjoying the camaraderie of it all. But when we separate, all of these feelings suddenly emerge. Fear because it could be the last time, loss because we all aren't going home together, happiness because these people love me, good or bad. Just a huge mix of emotions and I swear I have done the whole shaking my head at myself for crying? Like what. is. wrong. with. me. Lol. What did Rosey Grier sing on Free To Be? "It's alright to cry. Crying gets the sad out of you"

Coming back to add that my sadness that Nelly didn't take Star Baker in no way diminishes Dylan's win. This group really has no losers or "villains". Gochujang is a staple in Guy's Grocery Games, which I am unabasedly a huge fan of. GGG is like in it's 390th season, so it is quite recognizable to me, even if I don't use it in my cooking (although I am constantly telling my spouse that we need to use it, if for no reason other than my tv food competition obsession). Why, indeed, would Paul see it as so novel? No matter I guess because the sheer joy of Dylan with the handshake is worth it. Am I the only one who claps along at home anytime a baker gets a Hollywood handshake?

I really wanted Nelly to be awarded Star Baker. She aced all 3 challenges! She's got such a natural tv presence. Does she need a new friend?

I just started the series. I enjoyed the book and movie. I keep getting distracted by the former D.A. because that actor is also the new voice/narrator of Forensic Files II.

Yes! So painful to watch this woman not understand that she was the catalyst for her own nightmare. And her mother doubling down on the Karen-ness of it all.

All I got out of Restaurant Wars is that I want my curls to look like Stephaine Izard's. Gorgeous.

Wasn't sure how all the threads would come together, but this was a very interesting doc. How do I find out the if Tabitha's murder was solved?

Latest episode of American Monster, "Success at any Cost", the storyteller is the older brother (Robert Jr) and he does not come across well at all. I doubt that he ever really loved his brother or treated him with any basic kindness. Not at all excusing what his brother (Richard) ultimately ended up doing, but clearly the kid had a lonely isolated childhood and an older brother who clearly disliked,resented, and was jealous of him.

What gets me is that Dorit thinks Garcelle owes her an explanation. Garcelle had every right to walk the fuck out of there.

Doris doesn't get it. She doesn't understand that there are certain words that are problematic when they come from white person to a black person. Sometimes you aren't due an explanation you just accept it as a part of life, as a part of living in a society. Even though Garcelle didn't owe her explanation, she gave her one and Dorit still argued the point. Fuck you Dorit.

The one who burned down the Colorado? home because she was burning sage? I think she had her kids taken from her. Dumbass. What was that gadget that was giving readings from the corpse but zero readings for the living?

We watched it last night and really enjoyed it. I laughed out loud when the Selena was making the cheese sticks and taking them right from the oil directly to the prepared plate, instead of placing them on the tray with the parchment paper to drain. Alex's face to the 4th wall (us at home) was hilarious! And I have to try to make that roast beef. This season is definitely going on our DVR. I have never seen the prior episodes and man, did I curse out Gordon Ramsay at the flashback. He's such a donkey (to use one of his favorite terms).

When *everyone* fails a test, it's the fault of the test, not the participants. I kept shouting at the telly (when the bakers said they had disappointed Paul), "its *his* fault! Not yours!"

I can't believe the Defendant whose dogs kept getting loose and killing his neighbor's hens had the gall to make a joke on the exit interview. Also I thought Acker and DiMango analysis of the recoup for raising new hens was wrong. Judge Levy is the best. Better version of his mom (at least in her later years).

Good for Heather but we don't know how leveraged she was. $55MM is a shitload of money but if she owed $50MM on it, well that net is not that impressive. And for clarity, I mean relative to Orange County, because that's life changing pie-in-the-sky money to me.
