  1. (fv) stands for family visit. Spoilers had it happening at the Final 6, when actually occurred at Final 8.

    Thank you.  It seems so obvious now ;-)

  2. I feel those sock tabs are a completely unnecessary product.  Not only are there other options out there for much less (because they were selling to wholesale for $5, so...), but I just can't imagine wearing what looks like an office supply product on my socks at all times.  That just seems ridiculous.  Robert said you can't feel it, but I'm not sure I believe him.  Can't believe they got a deal.

     

    I'm going to look for those Brazi Bites at Whole Foods.  They sounded very interesting.

     

    I have a $7.00 grey t-shirt I like, so I'm going to take it and a $2.99 black paint pen to the 6 year-old that lives next door to me.  I'm going to ask him to draw a bicycle on the front of the shirt.  In exchange, I'm going to give him a homemade brownie.   

    Thus saving about $37.00, and shipping.   Granted, there's no charity involved, but I still get a happy kid in my own neighborhood, and a "designer" t-shirt.  I can live with that.  ;-)

    Love this.  I might do the same with my friend's granddaughter.  And it will be one-of-a-kind!

  3. I stopped watching The Late Show because it turns out I don't like this Stephen that much but I couldn't sleep last night and I have to say they handled last night's show very well.  I just wish they had told the audience not to chant his name.  Seemed inappropriate with the tone of the rest of the show.

     

    I don't speak French so I didn't understand what the army guy was saying, but it made me tear up. 

     

    I've actually seen a cat show and it was so good.  I wonder if these cats need to be better trained or if all the lights and noise bothered them.  The cats I saw were also on stage (obviously) and the audience was full of kids and they performed flawlessly (and they were all gotten originally from shelters), so maybe that act needs to call The Late Show.  Because we can always use another cat act.

  4. As much as I disliked the Pro guy, he handled the 'take my deal now' crap in the best way possible. Mark pretty much said 'I'm giving you what you want, take my deal' and the annoying bro came back with 'it would be stupid of me to do so before I hear everyone out'. I hope others in the future use that same line so the sharks will stop pulling that crap. That's why I prefer Dragons' Den. Not only do the dragons never say that, they actively ask others if they are making an offer and give the presenter time to make up their minds.

    And the less said about the disposable sheet, the better. That is just gross.

  5. Michelle's point on forcing the download for the drink app is very interesting. I see their point and I'd be marginally less likely to use the app if I thought I was forcing a download on someone. But she's right: if being annoying was a negative characteristic in apps, Candy Crush wouldn't be worth $6 billion.

     

    I agree with this.  Being forced to download would make me not use the app.  I don't want to force my friends to put things on their phone and I'd be pissed if they forced me to do it.  But maybe I'm too old for that app.

  6. I love that Savage, the successful lawyer was not able to convince anyone to his side.  Last week, he wanted Cierra out but Jeremy wanted Kass, so Kass goes.  This week he wanted Stephen, but no one was listening.  And yet the whole time he thought he was calling the shots. What a fantastic episode.

  7. I have a hard time believing that in 2011 (after Gloria & Jay were married) that Gloria would go and try to sell something at the Farmer's Market.  Why not make it a few years earlier, when she was a single mother and needing money.

     

    And yes, the whole Alex thing made no sense.  They really should send Luke to boarding school because he cannot act anymore.

     

    And really - who keeps a recipe attached to the jar, a recipe that is secret? Sometimes they make these people act in a way that no human would act just to get the plot somewhere.  It just makes everyone look stupid.

  8. It would have been great if Kelley, Ciera and Abi all voted for a different person.  Then on the revote, the strong, 'respectful' group would have to vote out one of their own.  I realize that would have taken too much work, but it would have been fun.

     

    And, yeah! Savage is gone.  He is so full of himself.

  9. When the college's lawyer was grilling the client about how she hardly went to class and didn't buy the textbooks, I though the obvious rebuttal was yes, this is all true and it was more than enough effort to earn a degree from this business/college, so good day sir. I said, good day!

    Wow, what a great point.  I hardly go to class, don't buy books and yet you still give me a diploma.  Meaning, you just wanted my money.  They definitely should have brought that up.

  10. So is Jason doing pro bono investigations?  Because going to Michigan and hanging out by the mail boxes certainly took more than the 4 hours he was tasked with.  Maybe he's just trying to get on Alicia's good side.

     

    Diane's law firm should just give up.  Let everyone move on to other things because I don't know what the hell they are doing anymore.

  11. It's really hard for me to get over the idea of coffee in a can. I understand it's actual hot coffee, unlike those coffee-based energy drinks (which I'm too old be converted too), but all I can imagine is a tinny taste to coffee.  Also, I drink it black, so either that stuff is going to be too sweet for me, or it's not going to be sweet enough for the cream and sugar crowd.

    I have not had the coffee in a can (not a big coffee drinker) but everyone who's had it in Japan that I work with says it tastes really good.  And some of those people are real coffee snobs.

  12. OMG - get rid of Lori. I really do not like her.

     

    I liked the new shark. That bidding war with the air mattress guy was crazy. 

     

    I go to Japan and coffee guy is right, hot coffee in a can is huge.  Maybe he should have bought their system or something, get the rights for the process for the states.  it probably would have cost less and he would have been making money 6 years ago (assuming people in this country warm up to the idea). 

     

    And as much as Mark annoys me at times, I appreciate that even though he's crazy rich, he still seems to understand when things are unreasonably expensive - because $1400/year for that center is crazy expensive.  I'm all for getting girls into the sciences, but apparently we only want the ones with rich parents.

  13. There's a place called The Dublin Store (Dublin, Michigan) that sells jerky and it is fantastic.  Their teriyaki venison is amazing.  Anyway, I thought their prices were high, until I heard what these guys were charging.  Now, The Dublin Store seems extremely reasonable. 

     

    I wonder if stores that put in those skinny mirrors would see an increase in returns.  I hope so, because I don't like this idea at all.

     

    Regarding the (really ugly) switch witch - yeah, just tell your kids they only get 5 pieces of candy that night and the rest is to be doled out over the next month, or whatever.  No need to spend $30 and then even more for a present.  Awful idea.

  14. There was definitely an episode where they made fun of his speech impediment (apparently it's called rhotacism) and he called them out on it. I'm not sure but I think it was the episode where Kripke and Sheldon fought over the same office.

    I think it was the episode where Sheldon had to retract his findings (he forgot a decimal point, or something like that).  And yes, Sheldon made fun of it, Kripke called him on it and then immediately joked about Sheldon's mistake.

  15. At the reward challenge, the difference between what the first and second place got was ridiculous.  It would have been nice if they had made it just a tad more even.  Considering how they screwed the Abi tribe, it would have been nice to give both first and second place finishers some food.

  16. Given a choice, I would never go back to regular toilet paper. Maybe what we need are reusable, washable wet wipes. Not as gross or without precedent as it sounds -- before disposables, all diapers used to be quickly rinsed off and put in the diaper pail > washer.

     

    Someone on Dragons' Den showed up with reusable/washable pee wipes (or something like that) and they were laughed out of the den.

  17. Brookies looked good and their pop-up shop is across the street from my work. Assuming they didn't take the sharks' advice to raise the price from roughly $2 to $9 (are you fucking kidding me?), I'll try to check them out sometime. 

    I checked their website last night.  They did take some of the Sharks' advice.  Only a few different combinations are available and they are charging $24 for 6, so $10 increase since they were on the show.  Then of course, there's shipping cost.
