I concur.

Yeah, one of them is awfully similar to something else we saw. :)

Pretty sure Ravi would not be able to overlook Blaine's murders of homeless teens, Lowell, etc.

I have wondered if maybe they're keeping him bland so we won't mind when he gets killed off and that's S2's main mystery.

Maybe his mom.

I want Sheldon to win, and he deserves it, but if it's Shirley I'll still be really happy.

They did kind of work okay together as a team one time, and Katsuji helped him with xantham gum, so perhaps John thought they'd managed to work through their differences.

I'd love to see Dougie, Melissa, and Gregory back, for sure! I wish we could've had them instead of Sam, Amanda, and Casey! But I guess then the veterans would've dominated even more than they have.

If either of them wins, but perhaps with an edge to Sheldon, I'd be very happy. Happy with Sylva too, however.

I agree.

I think "dignity" is an excellent word for Sylva. As someone said above, if he were in the final three with Shirley and Sheldon, I'd be happy (now that Jim is gone, sniff).

I volunteered at a couple of pledge drives this year and fielded several calls in this line. I wanted to say, "Well, why are you listening?!"

At one time in the past, one of the premiums (premia?) was a Nina Totenbag. :)

I kept thinking that the therapist looked like Faith, but never connected her with the bus lady.

He didn't set off my gaydar at all. But then, I am also a geeky Southerner with a mad love of Buffy, so perhaps he and I are, like, on a wavelength. Jim, let's be friends!

4 Rivers Smokehouse has okra, but I think they're Florida-only at this point.

True story: Once I tried to give some of an Arby's roast beef sandwich to the dog and even *he* wouldn't eat it.

I disliked it intensely at first, too, but warmed to her when she was genuinely encouraging of contestants, etc.

Major specifically says people are still hanging around on his lawn.

I wish they could become a couple and he'd follow Liv's lead/diet and also help out with Clive 'til Ravi finds a more reliable cure. But there's still the chance the first cure could wind up killing him. And, of course, the show might not go back to that crime-solving formula, either.
