I know he is supposed to be as wide-eyed innocent as she, but I secretly want him revealed as the most ruthless social climber of them all.

I liked the blue bird dress. Little painted birds becoming 3d and taking off. Like a 19th century Esher.

I never liked John Stamos, but that just confirmed it for me. They don’t owe you shit. I think he and whoever else was pushing this was delusional enough to believe they really would come back.

I can’t be the only one that finds this slightly ridiculous, right? They want her to quit SVU, because too many people believe a fictional cop show represents the actual NYPD? I’ve always viewed SVU as a fantasy, just like Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t assume all doctors are hot and fucking in closets.

I still don’t understand how Crystelle’s focaccia went so wrong when she must have made it before successfully and also when it was obvious from looking at it before it went in the oven that the thing was drowning in oil.

There should be a word for a show in which it’s nice to win, but that it’s not the point of the show. Because that’s what Bake Off (and to a certain extent Drag Race) is to me.

Was very glad the consistently best baker won, because that doesn’t always happen.

Chigs deserved to lose for leaving the grin off the Cheshire Cat.

I think she’s solid, but nowhere near a Kim-Joy in terms of finesse and creativity.

Everyone’s showstopper centerpieces were all embarrassing. Crystelle’s was the least embarrassing, but that big rice krispie and fondant candle ruined it for me. I question all of them where the 5 hours went.

I mean... No? Not even close?

You know, I usually can suspend my disbelief in Bake Off. I know the main priority is to make a TV show and series, and so certain things have to happen so the producers can tell the stories they want. But for the most part I can believe the judges are making real, in-the-moment decisions and truly describing what…

Thank you for the coverage of this story. I appreciate the nuance, and also how Dr. Walker maintains their goals of this research very clearly.

Ah, but it sounds like you have an Xbox One, either the original or the S. I’ve been playing on an Xbox Series X and Series S, and everything loads basically instantly. So I could get a million credits using the Willy’s exploit in well under a minute—assuming I had already racked up the skill points to buy the…

The addition of domes to the showstopper just struck me as completely arbitrary and unrelated to the theme of the show.  It was more “let’s just add something they are likely to fuck up for the entertainment value”.

Absolutely not! The thickness of the Canadian accents is on full display this season, to a ridiculously entertaining degree (at least to me).

If any part of you is “grinning,” I think you’re the complete asshole in this situation.

I feel bad for Freya in that she’s sticking to her vegan guns even though I think there’s no way in hell she can make it to the final doing so (and yet doing decently for the effort), and she’s still getting harassment because she dares to like riding horses.

As a firm member of Team Giuseppe, I want to think this is the turning point and he will defeat Jürgen. But I’m sure Jürgen will come back stronger than ever next week and this will turn out to be a blip. Still, GO GIUSEPPE!

It’s inspiring to see her (and Land) climb out of the abyss. But Maid is limited by the white lens through which it is told. The show is empathetic about the plight of women like Alex, but doesn’t do enough to demonstrate how distinct their experiences are. Nor does it acknowledge the level of privilege that Alex, a…
