  1. I think I read once that when they do things like move plumbing around, it's not really done in the 7 days, they just have unplumbed faucets/toilets/showers as stand-ins.

    All I could think of when I saw Alison's "stone" was how filthy it would be because it would be impossible to clean without scaffolding!

  2. First episode:  HATED the winning kitchen, and why did Alison’s mentees close up the windows to the beach?  That was the whole reason they moved the kitchen, and they were left with that narrow view of the ocean?  Of course that horrible fake stone should have been thrown away when it arrived.

    I liked Tanya’s couples kitchen the best.

  3. Re Michelle's biscuits...why didn't she cut them into rounds before she cooked them?  They would have cooked faster and she could have fit them into her mosaic idea, sort of.  Or at least cut them into squares.  Part of the charm of a biscuit is the edges.

  4. Didn’t Juan, Vinnie and one of the female couple speak Spanish?Ricky and Cesar were good at the physical challenges (baseball, anyone?), good at the puzzles, good At the “entertainment” challenges, and good at navigating.  I was happy for their win.

  5. I agree about Sofia…she’s unlikeable, and the actress isn’t skilled enough to make unlikeable interesting.

    I felt for Molly this episode…we’ve all crushed on someone who isn’t available, and Maya played that perfectly..

    and on a completely shallow note, Nat Faxon’s teeth gross me out.

  6. I agreed with the chef that the eggs benedict didn't need extra crap on the plates...the sprig of parsley was enough.  The dessert from the night before was a beautiful plate, so clearly he knows what he's doing.

    Frazier is KILLING me this season...I want him to just do his job and quit gossiping and setting other crew members against each other.  It made me uncomfortable to watch him flirt with the guest (wearing his shirt, really?)...have we seen any other stews or deckies do that on charter?  Maybe a couple of times?  And it made me uncomfortable then too.

  7. I think I may be done…if they wanted to provide a place for the homeless, why buy a 600 room hotel that needs to be renovated?  They could buy the IHG hotel franchise with less than half of Molly’s money.  But I guess then it wouldn’t be a comedy.

  8. Noah’s dad, Timothy Springer, showed up on the Forbes Billionaire list today.  He’s won the Lasker Prize (next step is the Nobel), and is a professor at Harvard Medical School…he must be so proud of his trust fund son.

  9. Geez, you can buy a murder mystery game and have it on hand for dumb theme nights.  I'm willing to bet you can even print one right off of the internet.  More producer shenanigans.

    Chef needs help with the pots and pans, I don't remember any other chef being stuck with all of them, there was always someone washing in the galley.

  10. Where do you see that the models were underage?  I don't think their ages were ever disclosed.  

    It's very common for designers to fit on a nude model, so that are they working with the way the garment will be worn.  If you watch the Valentino doc from a few years ago, you see them draping directly on the model.

  11. I’m watching the new season…I still  love hearing the background stories of the golfers (and seeing them work out, so much for golf being a lazy man’s game).  The episode about sports psychologists was really interesting to me, I used to work with a woman who treated figure skaters.

  12. I would have outed Phaedra too…she was clearly in a bloc that was going to carry her to the end.  And I’m sorry, but all the “bless you” stuff just turned my stomach.  I can’t stand her and her eyelashes.

    MJ…I agree with John.  It’s a game, and you didn’t contribute to the pot, so why should you share it?  I do agree that CT and Trishelle should have said that, it would have been a hard stop.

    I hope that they invite Peppermint and a couple of other members of the RuPaul cohort next year…I think they’d be great contestants.

  13. It killed me to see what Jack did with that Beluga caviar!  That was at least $1000 worth.  You don’t sprinkle it on pasta, and you don’t serve it in its tin.  It’s properly presented in a bowl on ice, with caviar spoons, blini and maybe some accompaniments.  Obviously the guests didn’t know any better either.

  14. 13 hours ago, AntFTW said:

    Maud telling Oscar about her "business" and saying how much she doesn't want to be part of it didn't seem like scam behavior to me. Maud didn't imply or hinted that she needed Oscar's help or his money. Maud didn't imply or hint that she even wanted Oscar to go to their office. Oscar invited himself to that office with no pressure from anyone to do so; Oscar offered his money with no pressure from anyone to do so. No one asked Oscar to write a check, or two checks. Oscar led himself to the slaughter, and refused to take 'no' for an answer. Maud Beaton, quite literally, didn't have to convince or lure or pressure Oscar to do anything. That's what kept me on the fence about whether it was a scam.

    Classic grifter technique.  That way when the conned tries to get their money back, the grifter can say "I didn't ask, you forced your money on me".

    Re: mourning.  The Reverend only died hours ago (Larry is still in his evening wear from the night before).  Marian will change her clothes after her walk, and a nice nap. She's worn the outfit with the black trim before, it's strictly a style choice.
