    He also was in Miracle Workers with Quinta.

    Oh my gosh, I completely forgot he was in Miracle Workers! He's hilarious there, too, but for some reason the one episode he was on Brooklyn Nine-Nine is imprinted in my brain so deeply that that's what I immediately thought of when I heard his voice.

    That guy he was hooking up with is cute, go for it, Jacob :D

    He was Captain Holt's honeypot in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I was delighted to see him again.

    Also, how does he remember a scent from back in the day before he developed his superpowers? I remember what the popular cologne was in high school but I'm pretty sure I have no idea what it smells like now.

    Many moons ago, I dated a guy that wore Acqua di Gio. I can identify that scent from a mile away and will always associate it with him. Scent memories are very strong.

  4. I don’t know why but I thought the person offscreen saying, “Yeah, Cheryl,” after Lexi told the girl complaining about sitting on the floor to shut it was absolutely hilarious. I burst out laughing and rewound it so I could watch it again.

  5. Y’all, I absolutely gasped when that choir lady made the disparaging comment about Barbara’s lipstick. Mere seconds before, I was swooning at how good she looked in that lipstick color and wondering if I’ll ever be able to figure out what brand/shade it is. She looked STUNNING!!!

    I hope they remember to make a room for Tank too.

    Tank? Does Tank still exist? I remember him being with Raines outside of the building (as a cover), then Raines rushing to the building just as it exploded. I have no idea where Tank currently is!

    I'd be happy if they said he went to live someplace far away where he's safe and happy. Every time I see him, I spend the entire episode worried something's going to happen to him.

    Two puppies is probably way too much work for an elderly person, but it might not be so awful for her to have one companion animal since nobody in her family ever seems to visit. Not sure she has the wherewithal to take care of a pet, but is she in some kind of nursing home or assisted living facility? There was mention of a nurse, so as long as someone is checking in on her regularly it might be OK. 

    In the residence that my mother is in, the memory care residents are forbidden to have pets. Even in the Assisted Living section, the residents can only have pets if they have the ability to fully take care of them. The place is very clear that their caretakers are there to care for the people and not any animals that might be living there.

    These cocktail parties go on for a few hours so why can’t 10 women get 15 minutes?

    This is what always totally confuses me too.  They seem to only talk for about 5 minutes and maybe a few minutes of make-out.  I know they have to meet with producers as well to do their talking heads but why can't everyone get time?

    When Jess confronted Maria, Mr. Lily clocked that she said, "It's a little early for you to be stealing time when you have a rose," which he interpreted to mean that we were seeing a little bit of editing trickery and it was actually earlier in the evening than the show was implying. Which means that, yes, Jess wasted time being a bitch instead of just pulling Joey aside herself.

    And speaking of bitches, ugh, Lea. She's revealing herself to be a truly awful person. The way she spoke to Madina about having "higher standards" made me want to slap her. I'm glad Madina chose not to entertain her nonsense and just walked away. She didn't deserve to be talked down to that way. Lea's behavior now casts her choice to throw away her "steal a date" card in a far more negative light. I'd thought she was truly uncomfortable with being able to do something like that and now I believe it was merely a tactic to manipulate Joey into viewing her a certain way. She's icky.

    I really like Lexi and Daisy. They just seem very sweet and actually into getting to know Joey instead of hoping for Paradise. I hope I keep liking them.

    So Korto overcame the oppression of having people pronounce her name Core-Toe (you know, phonetically) and not Kah-toe! How did she drag herself out of bed after that?

    When she said that, it really resonated with me. Having your name constantly said incorrectly diminishes a person in a way that someone with an easily pronounceable name will never understand. I say this as a person with an extremely common first name who watched my father hear his ethnic name mispronounced until the day he died.

    I actually really like Korto's design. I thought it fit the challenge well. And I thought if other people were allowed to claim their fabric choice met their requirements (Bishme with his sweatshirt fabric and Brittany with the sheer fabric), then they should've given her the same grace with her fancy brocade fabric. Instead they dinged her for it. I agree with everyone that said it was her mouth that got her kicked though. I think there was a way she could have effectively defended herself and her vision but she emphatically chose a different route.

    Speaking of Brittany, I don't think she met the requirement AT ALL. Sure, it was a full-length, long sleeve, high-neck dress but being able to see the model's ass cheeks completely negates the "modest" aspect. Prajje was right: that's a dress you wear when you want to get laid.

    I felt bad for Bishme. He knew he wasn't sending out his best work, you could see it in his body language on the runway and he fully accepted the judges' criticism because he knew they were right. I'm glad he wasn't sent home because I've liked so much of what he's done so far. I think he had a good idea, I just think he let it get away from him.

    I don't have much to say about Prajje's look. I didn't much like it but I didn't outright hate it. I agree with Nina, it was just sort of there for me.

    I loved Laurence's look and I think there were elements to it that maybe could be seen as trendy (the strong shoulders, the moto aspect of the pants) but at the end of the day it was a leather jumpsuit. Classic for sure but not particularly innovative.

    Rami's dress was beautiful but even he knew he was full of shit with the cape thing as his oversized element. If he'd made it more dramatic, more billowy, more MORE then I think he could've gotten away with the claim but as is there was nothing oversized about it.

    I'm most interested in seeing a Rami/Bishme/Laurence final runway so I hope they don't muck anything up between now and then.

    There’s an error in The Final One. When Ross decides to go after Rachel, Phoebe tells him to “get your coat”. He’s looking around frantically for it. “Where’s my coat?”. Then Phoebe screams at him, “you didn’t bring one!”  Why did Phoebe tell him to get it when she knew he didn’t bring it?

    You could chalk it up to her being an airhead

    She was distracting him long enough to grab her own jacket and purse and then offer to drive him to the airport in her cab.

    Seems silly that Phoebe and Joey waited over AN HOUR at her birthday dinner.

    My family once waited over 45 minutes for my stupid sister and her family to show up for dinner because they kept saying they were "almost there." Only difference was the restaurant refused to actually seat us until they showed up. Needless to say, we were furious when they finally got there.

    There's no way they would have given Dean the lead with only a few days/a week to go before opening night. I get it's a sitcom/TVLand, but I am not willing to roll with it. That's too far for me. 

    Mr. Lily related *hard* to this part of the plot. Apparently the exact same thing happened to him when he was in the sixth grade. His class was putting on Tom Sawyer, he was playing the part of some secondary character, and then a week before opening night he was told he had to play Tom Sawyer because the kid that had the role couldn't remember any of his lines. He said up until then he never studied so hard for anything in his life. 😂

    I should have suspected Gabriel was going to die after he got so much time to work on his relationship with Carlos and was all excited for the wedding, the poor guy might as well have announced that he had two weeks until retirement.

    I laughed out loud when I read the bolded. I always twitch when a character makes that announcement, it's almost always a harbinger of death. Either that or they just find out they're having a baby.

  14. Mr. Lily and I howled - howled - when Ava clocked the very real threat that Vanetta was sending her way and then turned tail and ran. "The key to never getting your ass beat? Knowing when someone can beat your ass." Indeed, Ava.

    Did anyone else notice that Taraji and Quinta made the exact same face when Ava was talking? I loved that little acting detail - people who live together really do adopt each others' mannerisms.

    My heart absolutely broke when the camera swung around to show that Janine heard the conversation between her mother and Barbara. All I kept thinking was, she must be so embarrassed. It's one thing to have to deal with the messiness that comes with your mom and to tell yourself (and others) whatever you need to just to get by. But to have someone you love and respect bear witness to that dynamic? There's nowhere to hide anymore. I don't believe for a second Janine would've been able to set those boundaries if she hadn't witnessed their exchange and been forced to confront her relationship with the clarity that came with Barbara's eyes.

    I cant really blame Theo for not wanting his dads mistress at his moms wedding, having the woman who had an affair with your ex husband at your second wedding really does seem batshit crazy when you say it out loud, but I guess that's pretty standard for characters on this show. 

    Having the ex-husband that actually cheated on you at your wedding seems batshit crazy to me. But I guess if you're opening the door to one, may as well open it to the other.

    Sara and Lecy gave great face when Darlene and Becky reacted to Harris saying she was cramping.

    This. The way they both went very still, the carefully neutral facial expressions and vocal tones when they questioned her and suggested going to get checked out, the quiet exchange of glances behind Harris's back so as not to scare her - I thought it was a masterfully subtle performance by both of them.

  17. Every week I'm genuinely surprised at how many people on this board seem to like Zach. I disliked him intensely on Bachelorette and am liking him even less over here. To me he's a narcissist without a genuine bone in his body and his behavior last night really spoke to that. It started with his "They must be having such a terrible time without me" comment. Like okay, dude. 🙄 And then the way he spoke to Greer was so cruel. Anyone with half an ounce of sense could see that she was (albeit clumsily) trying to empathize with him by sharing her COVID story but he had to make her feel stupid by turning it into "my JOURNEY for my WIFE is more important than some JOB." I felt really sorry for her. And this is coming from someone who up until that moment had been hysterically laughing all episode at her distress over every little thing. (I was on the floor when Gabi came toddling down the hall with all her bags, stepped over the two girls, and then came back because they were actually in front of her door. Hilarious, show.) I agree with everyone that said there's no way he wanted to give a rose to Greer. He made no effort to hide his fury when he called her name and he was utterly expressionless when she came up to get her rose and when Jesse was congratulating everyone. Every time Zach talks to the women, his eyes go dead and it seems to me he's only listening as much as he has to in order to formulate a response that makes him look like a nice guy, not because he really feels anything for what they're saying. It bothers me, too, how he speaks of Rachel with such vitriol, mostly because a) I don't believe for a second that she was the only who revealed her true colors behind the closed doors of the fantasy suite; and b) I think his end goal the entire time was to become the Bachelor so he ultimately got what he wanted.

    On a side note, the girls certainly did not present their best sides last night either. Not one of them expressed any sort of concern over Zach's health when Jesse let them know Zach tested positive. It was all about how upset they were that he couldn't hang out with them. The blatant "How dare he be sick?" attitudes were. . . not exactly a good look, ladies.

    Not the point of the story at all, but who leaves a message along the lines of "come right away to the hospital" and doesn't take three seconds to add "your dad woke up"?

    My mother. My dad's in the hospital right now and she left me a message at 5:30 in the morning saying, "Call me right away. It's about your father." Turns out he was kicking up a fuss about using the bedpan. I was like, MOM FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!! 😱

    Since we saw retardant on the character's boots as he was lighting the torch, it's obviously a firefighter.

    I assumed it was new kid (the pebble, or whatever they called him), setting the fire so he could play the big hero and put it out, thus making up for almost squashing half the crew and "proving" that he's got what it takes to follow in his daddy's footprints.
