    Of course anyone locked up or to Mackenzie and people locked away for weeks of quarantine would look good and be very persuasive about getting some attention... but Mercades? Slow down... also are you sure we shouldn't pronounce that Merkahdees cause someone spelled yer name wrong... I already threw myself into the pits of hell once today so I won't do it again by naming names but let me just say some of these new people have VERY misplaced opinions of their own attractiveness.

     

    OMG.  The spelling of her name.   I had to pause and rewind.  Phonetically spelling of names is a pet peeve, but, hey, I'm childless so what do I know.  And I keep that s**t to myself in public. 

    However, that's not even the phonetic spelling of Mercedes.   I am willing to pronounce it like a Florida cracker (which I am) and call her "Mer-cades" or trying a little Spanish pronunciation of "Mer-ca-des".   But no no no I am not pronouncing it like the car because if you make me, then I'm going to tell everyone I drive a Lamborghini (spelled "Mazda").

    I am jealous of the HW's going to Rome, I have been to that city 3 times and not once was I ever able to get a good photo of the Trevi Fountain without a million people in the way, but those women get a front row photo alone, no heads of strangers in the midst. UGH.

    I was supposed to see Rome for the first time this coming November (for my 50th birthday and my 10th wedding anniversary) and COVID nixed that.  I don't know if I can watch next week simply because I am feeling very sorry for myself.

    S01.E04: Episode 4

    in McMillions

    This Dwight Baker guy....fuck him.  He claimed he didn't get a cut on the $1 million ticket that he conned George into redeeming.....and then in his next breath, he said I just asked for a laptop and a Navigator.  And he acts like the value of those items is negligible.  I hope this douche bag gets his comeuppance.

    I do consider myself me a fantastic knitter (I also crochet). 🙂 It is too bad that the show is limited to crafts that can be done in a couple of hours. 

    This pair of mittens took me just over 17 hours to finish : Winter Woodland Mittens - January

    It would not have made riveting television!!

    I knit and crochet as well, but your mittens are so fantastic.  I am going to friend you on Ravelry.

    I love this show, I’m a fanatic knitter.....but I think it could be a half hour if they cut out the fluff. I really hate “make” as a verb as well as “makers”. It’s just really awkward. What would have been wrong with craft and crafters? 
     

    I really like the contestants. I love Nick but Amy is a little frantic. 

    I read your comment as "fantastic knitter" and I wondered how one got to the level to consider themselves fantastic.   Ha!  I do hate that the needle arts, knitting,  crocheting,  cross stitch are not represented in this show,  but then I remember it takes me two weeks to knit a pair of socks (ankle socks, cuff down, two at a time).

    Kids Baking Championship - General Discussion

    in Kids Baking Championship

    · Edited by Grumpbump

    I complained to my husband that this is not baking (using canned biscuits).  Then, as if on cue, Diff and Valerie started explaining (excusing)  why it was acceptable to use canned biscuits (i.e., "Everyone in the world making monkey bread uses tinned biscuits..." ).

    So, is it then a decorating challenge?  Then they were all underwhelming.  It was just a poor choice.  I liked Madison because she is good tv.  But I don't think I could excuse the unsweetened chocolate rice crispy treats.

    Does anyone else wish when they choose who to eliminate, they would look at everything they’ve done so far that season (like how they look at all 3 rounds on an episode of Chopped) vs just that particular day? Misha obviously has a really bad day yesterday, but I definitely feel like he’s better than most of the bakers left. 

    Yes, I definitely thought Misha should have been safe, as just last week his blondies were good enough to save half of the field of contestants!   Jenna has been in the bottom at least once before.  I was very sad that he was eliminated.
