The vocal fry is killing me! And then she'll add up-speak to the vocal fry! I don't know how she does that, but my ears are bleeding.

I will admit (though with embarrassment) that I got Flushing immediately because of The Nanny.....

I missed the last few seconds (after the daughter climbed in the bounce house with the dad) -- can anyone please fill me in on what happened?

The Monkey's Paw is one of the creepiest stories I've ever read.

Marcus lost me with his first pick -- in the middle of the damn category. Otherwise, I might like him.

Nepal was the first thing that came to my mind, too. I'm sorry Katie lost. Or perhaps I'm sorry the guy won. Oh, and btw, Alex, please please please do not ever attempt a southern accent ever again. That had to be among his all-time worst accents.

More animated or more assholish?

I had never watched Bones before this crossover, and quite frankly, I hope I don't ever have to again. I could barely stand the woman and her delivery of her lines. Is she always like that? Has she always been like that? So stilted and emotionless. I did like the SH episode, though, particularly the Greek fire and how the draughr (is that how you spell it?) disintegrated. Also? Tom Mison's legs.

Well, I watched, and am glad I don't have to watch again. Maybe if I'd been with the show from the beginning, I would have enjoyed it more, but mostly I was bored. And I agree the crossover didn't make sense and wasn't necessary. At least General Howe was continuous between the two shows, I guess?

Nikki's husband is Paris Themmon, the guy who played Mike Teevee in the original (and only, in my opinion) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I thought the new champ said she broke her elbow. Maybe if Alex had asked about it during the interview instead of before the game started, she might have given more details.

If no one can pronounce "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite", what makes any of them think they can easily rap in French? The judge at the airplanes was awfully lenient, too, with those pronunciations.

Wow, the number and variety of TS was really painful. I lost track of how many I got. Not sure how they cleared the board with all the time lost standing around like deer in the headlights. I like Nikki's husband, too -- he was a cute kid back then, and he's pretty easy on the eyes now. Nikki's response to Alex about his career was great. I'm sorry she lost, but of the two contenders, I'm glad the girl won. And despite having several relatives who attended Vandy, I couldn't come up with it for anything. Possibly because we/they always referred to it as Vandy instead of Vanderbilt.

I guess I should have asked if this ended unresolved, with the resolution to come in Sleepy Hollow (which might have been mentioned at the end), rather than asking if I needed to watch this Bones. I ended up recording it while I watched Heroes, and am recording Sleepy Hollow now, so I'll watch them both later.

I don't normally watch Bones -- do I need to watch this ep for tonight's Sleepy Hollow to make sense?

What a rare game! I didn't hate anyone, they all started at the tops of the categories, and the boards were cleared. Most enjoyable despite the multitudes of TS.

Rule #1 of TAR -- Read the damn clue!!!!!! I wanted all three of the last teams eliminated this time. The Paparazzi totally suck, and the track stars drove me insane with not paying attention. I really wanted to like them, too, but I just couldn't. And Chac Attack need to go just for their team name if nothing else.

Crash and burn! I admit, though, I had no idea what that DD quote was from -- I've never seen that movie. But pansy? Really?

I really liked this ep. The Tooth Fairy was the best MOTW since the Sandman, in my opinion, and the Harry Potter shout-outs keep coming. What, no one else thought of the Dementor's Kiss when the Tooth Fairy put the first child in a coma? There are some local dentists who will give you a little twilight anaesthesia for a cleaning, and some who will give you a little nitrous oxide. Crane looked and acted more like he got the former instead of the latter. Either way, it was a hoot.

Please tell me I was not the only one singing the preamble a la School House Rock.

My only nitpick, and it is an extremely teeny tiny nit, is how the youngest child "ate" her cereal. Otherwise, I adore this show, especially Colin Hanks. And James Brolin? Rowr.

Maybe, but they still play Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. Then they skip to Order of the Phoenix and continue from there.

This probably isn't the right place to ask, but I wonder why ABCFamily never shows Goblet of Fire on their Harry Potter weekends. Anyone know?

I'm the one who commented on James Earl's pronunciation of croquet. Being Southern is no excuse. I grew up in and currently live in the South and have not only played croquet, but have eaten croquettes, and know how to pronounce each of them correctly.

This is what happens, Texas, when you focus on another team instead of on your own race. You miss fabulous opportunities! I am glad, however, that the Justin and Diana honored their mini-pact with Texas and didn't U-turn them. Oh, and James Earl? It's pronounced "cro-kay", not "cro-ket".

I don't want Matt back, and JOSH! is nearly unbearable, but I am ever so glad they both weren't on the same show.
