I like My Lottery Dream Home, even though they've already chosen the home before the show airs. I like seeing what people consider to be a "dream" home. For example, there was one woman who was looking for a place on the water at a local lake, and her primary need for the house was electricity and indoor plumbing. Peeve of the day -- it's overcast and so I won't have a chance to see the Northern Lights here tonight. I'm too far south for them to be seen on the regular.

This fucking conversation reminded me of this:

Archive game for me for last night's game, as I went to see the touring production of "Book of Mormon." FJ was an instaget, although I tried to second-guess myself with Beanie Babies. I stuck with my first impulse, though, thinking Beanies were later. I never wanted a Cabbage Patch kid. I thought they were hideous, and I was not the right demographic anyway. I also got the TS of Basques, polka, sawbones, Genghis Khan, A Midsummer Night's Dream Weaver, Galvani, and San Quentin. I feel like I would have gotten scallops, too, if I'd been able to see the photo.

I don't remember them doing that for anyone else.

Aww, congratulations to Yvonne and Melissa! I'm glad we got that update.

Dammit. The bad cabbie didn't help us as much as I would have liked. I am sorry to see Melissa and Yvo go, and not just because I wanted Amber and Vinny gone.

I hope Melissa and Yvo can make up time, but I'm not optimistic.

I thought I heard Leticia say this was Rod's last one.

Throwing a baseball is different from throwing a football. Also, don't get cocky about a sports task.

Hitting a bottle cap with a broomstick? Damn. That would be a challenge for me. The throwing and catching? No problem.

Of course you're tired, Vinny. Stop climbing the trees and use the cutting tool! Or y'know, keep doing what you're doing so maybe y'all will be eliminated.

I hope they don't wreck all that cacao -- and that they make sure to get ripe ones. Chocolate is expensive enough as it is! Also, don't eat it! It is not tasty until sugar is added. I saw people in Colonial Williamsburg making it the 18th century way, and it was brutal then.

It sounded like Cesar gave good hints/help, though. She should be able to get it.

No worse than some of the bras I've tried on lately.

From the explanation, I thought they'd have to start over.

Can't any of them do this challenge by themselves?

That water looks beautiful.

How is the finale next week? It seems like it only just started. I guess it goes faster when there are no non-elimination legs.

I had no idea for FJ, either, but I was trying to come up with a rhyming opera title, not what they wanted. But I did get several TS, including Knave of Hearts, waterfall, Conestoga, and contemporaries.

One of my best relationships was all about the sex. We liked each other, of course, and got along (and did do other things besides the sex), but we both went into it knowing that it was not going to be a long-term thing. And no one's heart was broken when it ended.

Mantilla led me to Spain and abandoned me there. I did not get FJ. But I did get quite a few TS, including Aunt Polly, dray, Jim Morrison, Hillary Swank, Lindsey Lohan, Newfoundland, teeth, Emerson, Bunch, and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.

Oh yeah. A lot about that movie was entirely fictional. And remarkable -- like his children who didn't age over the span of several years. But it does help me remember that Barnum brought Jenny Lind to the US.

In that case, I got FJ, too! The best I could do was Vatican Guards or Pope Guards.

I kind of expected some sort of joke about Braxton-Hicks contractions. But I'm glad they didn't go there.

Aw, that was nice. I love Tunde and his moustache. I think I prefer Abishola's braids, but I get why she'd prefer a shorter style, especially if she's a pediatrician. Not a fan at all of Dele's look. I guess Christine named her daughter Maxine in honor of her father? But what the hell with Chukwuemeka helping Kemi with a food truck? I can see Kemi with the food truck, but Chukwuemeka is a pharmacist! Why is he not at the pharmacy? Did I miss something in an earlier episode about them wanting a food truck? Kemi seemed extra shrewish, too. Probably from living with her mother-in-law. I did like all the flashbacks while Bob and Abishola were on their bench. Bob was almost unrecognizable -- Billy Gardell has changed a LOT.
