Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore were totally adorable performing a song on Jimmy Fallon to promote the movie. She was super pregnant, and towards the end, he segued into "I wanna grow old with you." It really was clear that they deeply care about each other, and it almost made me want to watch Blended, but I decided…

Glad it's not just me! I spent quite a long time on Monday saying "minj" in my head with different emphasis to see if I could figure out if it was supposed to sound like a word I already knew. I'm pretty relieved that it's British slang. At least I have an excuse for not knowing it.

Thank you!!

I can't wait for the bitchiness to become more focused. Everyone's just so defensive and on edge the first few episodes that it's kind of off-putting to me, while it's so much more fun when it becomes more shady.
Also, I'm really bad figuring out the wordplay (it took me an entire season to get that Sharon = Sharin'),…

I absolutely eyerolled at the jump split. But I think she redeemed herself with the slow split.

The Sound of Music tribute was at least better (and more deserving) than the celebration of Chicago's 10 year anniversary.

Let's get Billy Crystal again!

Those seem to really slow down the show, though. Especially when they do a montage for action films, or something else that rarely gets any high-profile Oscar nominations.

I need to work on my segues.

I think people are a little hard on NPH. The Oscars are a really tough gig, the room isn't the most open minded, so most jokes (especially anything critical or slightly edgy) don't land at all.
I don't think it was the best hosting job I've ever seen NPH do, but I really don't think he was that bad.
That being said,…

Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it isn't kind of gross.

I didn't dislike season 2, I just thought the pace was so dramatically different from season 1 that it was hard for me to get through. If I had watched it when it first came out, not sure I would have felt that way, but maybe it was more apparent to me because I was binging it?

I was a huge Dane Cook fan when he first hit the scene, and lost interest around the time that he started doing films. Between the nostalgia and the length of time since I've seen him, I tried to watch his new special on Showtime and could only stand 15 minutes of it.
I don't mind the physicality, my problem is really…

Seriously, if you made it through the slog of Season 2, Season 5 is 100% watchable.
Of course, the last episode of season 4 is one of the most emotional, beautiful hours of television I've ever seen, but Season 5 is still worthwhile.

The exact same thing happened to me. I don't think I've ever cried at the recap of a show I hadn't seen before/since.

If someone stays even though they forgot a mystery basket ingredient, it's because someone else majorly fucked up, or bled into their dish or something.

None of the basket ingredients used animal proteins, so it was really more vegetarian than vegan (especially with the addition of honey), and all of the chefs had some vegetarian or vegan experience. They didn't call it out as the theme of the challenge to avoid alienating the people who would generally be turned off…

Agreed. I have no idea why the show has as much mainstream popularity as it does.

It does. The BBT marathons often causes TBS to be in the top three cable networks in the demo. It's pretty fucking infuriating.
