The meat tenderizer has a flat side and a pointy side. At least some of the blows were with the flat side. I did think it odd that Elsbeth looked in the dishwasher and saw the tenderizer, but it never came up again in the show. Maybe a plot point they chose to delete?

I think North Dakota and South Dakota would be pretty difficult too. I’d give someone about half a dozen states that could be confusing, but he couldn’t even identify New York. I would have done pretty well on state flags too, until they got to those nearly identical blue ones with a seal in the middle.

In the US market, Britbox says the next season is “coming later in 2024”.

I liked the last few episodes, but the twist of the older woman almost keeping Tara a prisoner seemed out of left field.

I can’t put my finger on it either, but WOF has fallen off our must watch schedule over the past month. And it still follows our appointment TV of Jeopardy on the same channel! Sometimes we watch it but often we don’t.

My fuzzy recollection is that the letters weren’t in the book, at least not explicitly talked about. Haven’t seen the episode yet.

Unless she’s next season’s victim…..

The other person who could have made the connection between the cold identities and Les Arbes was "Bad Sam", which is why he had to go too.

I've noticed it too. I don't know if they changed the way they cast the show, or just encouraged the contestants to be more animated on the set.

I would guess Whelan’s equivalents in other intelligence services.

We watched this on DVR last night and were intrigued enough to finish the next episode on Passport. I thought probably the best Ridley two parter so far.

I don’t find his singing as annoying this season. Maybe he took some lessons.

I’ve been rereading the book and there are no Arabs in it, so your memory is accurate. I think that change makes sense, plotwise. Some other changes leave me scratching my head.

Given some of the past disasters in the technical challenges, I was pretty shocked at how well they all did without a recipe.

Agree about Jenna (although I've never seen that hour, only clips). The normal practice on Today for at least the past couple of years, at least while everyone is in the studio, has been for Savannah and Hoda to start off and Craig to join after about the first 10 minutes, so it's not that new.. It does though seem to position him to be moved up.
