Oh my god, yes. And then after they'd traded with Greg and Jen and Jen needed to get up, she told Greg to bounce her out. I nearly fell off the sofa laughing. And is it wrong that I want to know all the lyrics to the naughty 12 days of Christmas? Is it real or was it written just for this show?

I can see Sophia trying to sell the medicated shampoo to her sister (and I can totally see the blackmail) but once her mother was involved, nope.

I already want to see it again.

I just got back from seeing this movie, and I loved it. Perhaps it was a big dose of nostalgia, or maybe it was just some damn fine storytelling with great cinematography and locations, but either way, I loved it and I cannot wait to see it again. When it was over, I felt like the guys in Big Bang Theory. I was glad to have gone in almost entirely unspoiled, too, much like when I saw the original trilogy in the theater back in the day. It gave the reveals and other events so much more weight (and, man, it got dusty in the theater!). I'm looking forward to the next installment! ETA that Daisy Ridley really did have a Keira Knightly look about her. She was fabulous, though, and must have been exhausted after filming, since she ran damn near everywhere.

Hands down the best episode of the season. And possibly the past several seasons. My favorite bit was the parallel between Shamy sex and Star Wars (and Will Wheaton was fab as always).

Tiombi was the least objectionable -- glad she won again.

Oh good gravy. I figured if anyone would miss FJ it would be the girl from Canada!

Perhaps bullied was too strong a word for the team of Frances and whats-his-name, but my point remains that she had plenty of chances to cook her own food, and still blew it while complaining that she didn't get a chance to cook her own food.

I really hate it when the eliminated cheftestants complain that they never got to cook their own food. For the first elimination challenge (or was it the second?), they were told they could cook whatever they wanted, as long as they could feed 200 people. Great chance to cook your own food! Why didn't you, Frances? And in this episode, Frances bullied her teammate (whose name escapes me) into doing Thai even though he is an Italian chef, so how did she not get to cook her own food this time? Shut up Frances. Not sorry to see you go.

And the paparazzi are STILL arguing about the damn cab that wasn't theirs in the first place.

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And of course whiny crybaby is whining and crying.

Please, god, no prequels! We saw how well that worked out for Star Wars.....

The Cheeto episode was great, and I loved the Thanksgiving dinner one with the cauliflower and that gorgeous turkey. If you give it another go, try one of those!

So glad the end guy (challenger) didn't win! He lost me from his intro with his weird hand/arm gesture. OTOH, I'm not sure how I feel about the new champ. Too bad contestant Alex screwed up so badly.

This was the least good episode, I thought. The only bit I even sort of liked was the ping-pong one, and that's likely because I have siblings, and there is rivalry. Tara -- it wasn't the ping-pong ball that knocked out the tooth, but the paddle. The first time, years ago, was when the paddle slipped from the brother's hand and flew across the table to hit Colin Hanks in the mouth, and this time, Colin* slammed the paddle edge-wise into the table, and it bounced back and hit him in the mouth. The end bit had Colin and family posing for Christmas photos, and when Colin smiled, there was a huge gap where his tooth had been. *I really should learn the character's names!

I figured out Riddle from the clue, but wondered if Alex would have accepted the last name only, since I had no idea about the first name.

The Pied Piper of Hamburg? Really? Also, Agatha Christie? Really? Beatrix Potter was the first and only person to come to my mind.

It made me very sad that no one knew Sir John Gielgud. I guess the original Arthur has been overshadowed by the unnecessary and idiotic remake. Which also makes me sad.

Well, it isn't like the contestants are winning huge sums, so they have to spend the money somehow.

My eyes are still rolling out of my head at "Sergeant" Shriver. Another easy FJ (well, easy to me, anyway).

Son of a BITCH! And I think it was really truly close, too. Dammit. Rooting for Kelsey and Joey to win the whole thing.

Yes. Having Madge give Katniss the pin was much better than Katniss getting it in the Hob and giving it to Prim for good luck. Fat lot of good luck that pin brought Prim! Another thing I missed from the books was the bread that District 11 sent Katniss after she took care of Rue.

I'm bummed that I missed it! Between power outages Tuesday, an event Wednesday and football last night, I've only seen Monday's ep this week. And while it sounds like I didn't miss much, I miss being snarky with y'all!

Foilage is definitely a regional (mis-)pronunciation -- East Tennessee strikes again!

Thanks!
