The explanation is that he’s the typical guy who has always assumed women would be the ones to take care of it, whether via birth control pills or an IUD, etc. He said something about having always been with women who were on the pill. And apparently he doesn’t think condoms as birth control is a reliable method. But, in his mind, why would he need to learn about any other kinds of birth control since those have nothing to do with him? It’s honestly just great commentary on the lacking sex education in this country and how society puts all the onus on women to figure this stuff out. And then we let men make all the decisions about reproductive rights, but I digress.

I heard him say it was induction, but induction is just a way of heating— it’s not a style of cooking. Like you said, is the robot going to stir your food if you’re making a stir fry? Or even just so that the ingredients don’t just sit there simmering. If you have to chop ingredients anyway, what dummy can’t just dump them in a pot and walk away? The robot really saves a person virtually nothing. And as much as Lori asks very dumb questions most of the time, her baked potato question was meant to point out that people don’t always want a bowl of junk for dinner and that thr robot’s menu is severely limited.

So I’m not even sure I understand what the robot chef was doing. It measures a bunch of ingredients and dumps them all in a cooker? What kind of cooker? Is it a pressure cooker? A pot of boiling water? Those are literally the easiest forms of cooking, so those aren’t the cooking methods that need robot replacement (not to mention, who wants a rice bowl for dinner every night?). It’s the ingredient prep (dicing, slicing) that people hate. It’s the multi-step recipes that use a million bowls but taste good that people would prefer to avoid. This machine solves neither of these problems. And like Lori said, what if I want a baked potato? Or a steak? Or lasagna?

The skateboard with brakes is a great idea for new riders who are learning to skate and whose parents worry about their kid careening down a hill at breakneck speed. It’s like training wheels or the brakes on a kid’s bike. i was familiar with Fishwife before the episode and her products (as well as the packaging/branding) are excellent. It’s a premium product and the prices are in line with that. It’s not meant for making tuna fish sandwiches— it’s for dishes where the fish flavor and oiliness is the point. It’s not for everyone but the Spaniards have understood it for a very long time.

I figured they were just arresting everyone they assumed was involved with Roy’s side of the stand-off and they’d figure out who did what later.

Whereas I think it was just as good as Season 2. Different strokes, etc. I’m sure opinions on it will depend on things like personal experiences, affection towards the actors (or lack thereof), and agreement or disagreement with the messaging. I personally thought Juno Temple did a great job being someone I wanted to root for and I found the Sin Eater guy way less annoying than David Thewlis in season 3 with his interminable speechifying.

I’d rather see a show where the women go on a luxury girls’ trip and watch their exploits. They were all much more interesting than Gerry and his Aw Shucks personality. Plus they deserve it after having to sleep in bunk beds.

Gerry really had no business declaring his love for multiple women on the show. It’s been a long time since I’d watched the Bachelor, but I don’t remember others going that far with the contestants— I even remember interviews where main Bachelors said the show told them not to reveal who they plan to pick to their dates before the finale moment or say “I love you”. But Gerry is saying “I love you” to 3 women, telling Leslie she’s “the one” and making plans with her, telling Teresa he’s falling for her, etc. And since none of the women are comparing notes, they think he’s only telling one of them those things. He lead Leslie on and he lead Faith on and that’s crappy. He’s old enough to be able to control himself from doing that, but instead chose to constantly vomit out his feelings no matter how fleeting. Even without the HR story, that makes him a scumbag to me who does not give a damn about anyone else’s feelings.

Did not expect Lydia and Milton to actually seem happy. Good for them?

I’m no fan of Stacey but I thought she was perfectly kind at the altar. She was basically saying “Not yet”. Which is totally reasonable. And she didn’t do it in an embarrassing way or a cruel way, and it even sounded like she wanted to keep moving forward with their relationship (whether that’s a good idea is another issue, but I digress). Yet Izzy acted like she told him to go kick rocks. So dumb.

I don’t think the guest shark was voicing her own opinions about nutritional content on packaging. She was saying younger people now see the focus on calories as a part of toxic diet culture (which, it is) and their marketing won’t work on them. Gen Z cares more about health than weight, and sees the notion of pushing “diet food” as toxic. I wish I’d grown up that way too but unfortunately I was part of the Snackwells generation. While people may watch calories for health reasons, those same people shouldn’t be eating artificially sweetened diet chocolate. They’re better off just eating less actual chocolate. And Halo Top is disgusting.

Call me a monster but I was ok with the pilot being killed since this whole thing was his fault in the first place. If he hadn’t opened the cockpit at the threat of his mistress being shot (and literally beat his copilot in the face with a metal pitcher to do it), they could have ended this whole thing at minute one. So, sorry dude. Be better.

Maybe it makes me a jerk but I was so happy to see Daniel Gil (who my husband and I call Kenny G-sus. Say it out loud if it helps) get beaten. I know a lot of the participants on this show are ultra-religious and all that, but his Kingdom Ninja nonsense really rubs me the wrong way.

I presume he was wearing something branded that the show didn’t want to inadvertently advertise.

This was incredibly dumb and, based on the answers above from some of the writers, so poorly planned out. And way too much stuff that made no sense. So many questions: Why wouldn’t Luke’s dad just have Brent say that Luke tripped and fell off the dock instead of launching a whole investigation? Why did they bother making Megan pregnant? How did the sheriff not notice a camera pointing directly at the place Luke’s body was found? Why did I watch all this? I guess at least Luke’s shitty dad might have some comeuppance. But also, don’t try to make me feel bad for Brent who’s a complete garbage person.
