I'm with you. Fiona has tried talking to her and reasoning with her and clearly NONE of that was getting through. I think that speech was absolutely critical to trying to get Debbie to understand that parenthood isn't all about dressing your baby cute and showing it off to all your girlfriends. The speech perfectly…

I agree with most of this - I loathe her too. But I stand by the assertion that Debbie is not a normal teenager and thus, it's not surprising that she goes beyond normal teenage stuff.

Random side note, I thought they made the wedding decor in the schoolhouse look really lovely. Made me smile.

The only thing I will say, in defense of the storyline, is that Debbie legitimately has no idea what a healthy relationship looks like. Kev and V are probably the only stable couple in her life and that's not saying much.

Ian's making me crazy this season. I want to have more compassion for him than I'm having right now. And I hate the way all of the kids are treating Fiona. Even though teenagers often act like total assholes to their parents, Fiona hasn't done anything to warrant it.

I think he looks better with (a little hair) on his head. That close cut isn't doing him any favors.

I was going to type something long and boring about why I find her behavior absolutely plausible, but you summed it up in those first two sentences really, really well. Not to mention, girls do some weird, seemingly inexplicable shit in those teenage years.

I know :) (works for me since I watch Walking Dead), but they had the opportunity to be done with him by sending him away in the last episode. It didn't make sense to have him in this episode unless they are planning on doing something with him later in the season.

I was sort of surprised to see Jason throughout the episode. I assumed his trip to SF was an attempt to write him out of the show, but them sticking him in a car with the reflection of the GG bridge to talk to Lucca seemed particularly silly.

Let me preface this by saying that I think Abby was completely insufferable throughout this entire episode. That being said, they did pressure her to have SheShe (that name makes me want to hurl) pay for the whole thing, so getting mad about her working during the party seems unfair. For me, the worst part was Abby's…

I actually prefer Alex's house to Valerie's. I think it has a character that hers is lacking. Hers is clean and bright and tasteful but generically decorated and neutral. I look at all the tchotchkes and "clutter" in his house as items that probably have a story or background that goes past, "I bought it at Pottery…

Basically because teenage girls are awful (I speak from the experience of being a teenage girl half a lifetime ago).

That is one of the funniest parts of the show to me - when Mel or Sue inadvertently sabotage somebody's bake! Off the top of my head, I can remember Mel eating somebody's chocolate and Sue leaning her entire upper body weight on somebody's towel-covered raw shaped pastry. Obviously nothing catastrophic, but still…

I feel bad for any hosts that aren't Mel and Sue, to be honest. There's just no way to live up to them IMO.

I'm certain that, on GBBO, Paul Hollywood has said that cracks in the bottom/side like that are due to under- or over-proving, but I have never tried to bake bread myself so…

Once the doc said that, I knew Quinn was a goner. There's no point in bringing Quinn back with brain damage.

Oof. That was some chunky stuff he was spewing. Gaaaahhhh!

Not to mention that when they do some forensic analysis, it will look mighty strange that every gun has her prints on it.

Sadly, that's how I cry too. I always cringe when I'm watching it because it's so realistic to me lol

I cried so hard during the last 10 minutes of the final episode. My husband walked in, saw me crying over a baking show, and just shook his head and walked out. I'm a bit of a sap anyway, but her words at the end just put me over the edge: "‘I’m never gonna put boundaries on myself ever again. I’m never gonna say I…
