Oh, I’ve just realized I never saw this episode when the season was airing because I never saw Ash’s brother. Didn’t realize he was actually featured rather than just referenced.

Yolanda's got nothing on Erica's bunch of grapes earrings.  

I am relatively sure that those grapes are actually Christmas ornaments.

I had an Australian boyfriend for a few years and he never did that - so it's new to me.

Just like in the US, not every single person uses uptalk, but it is present in Australia. It’s often more common in women. Some linguists think it might be a(n) (unconscious) way for women to “hold the floor” longer in conversation.

Yes, and also not threatening or confrontational.

I got in trouble at an old job because I tend to up talk, they said it sounded like I was asking a question instead of making a statement.

That's too bad?

Well, women’s speech—or markers of feminine speech in men—tend to be more harshly criticized, so I’m not surprised. Don’t get me started on the disproportionate negativity women get for vocal frys.

Oh, gross! Having missed this episode, I didn’t realize Ed refused to take a test himself. What an ass! Not to mention, there’s plenty of western clinics in Manila.

Why doesn’t David answer a question about his hair, or lack thereof.  It’s too dark and the sideburns are just odd.  It looks more like a complete wig rather than just a hairpiece on the top.  Every moment he’s on screen, I just can’t take my eyes off his hair.
