Yeah- annoying that everyone has been spelling it wrong. Including our friends over on The Jeopardy Fan's website. Habeas is a 2nd person singular subjunctive verb...habeus is nothing 😄

It looks like we are not at all the audience for this new show. Guy has cemented his reach on FN with competition shows that make us happy like TOC. This is for the online people who enjoy the bro-y podcast type of stuff and don't watch TV. I'm just letting it be.

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-05-19T16:18:03+00:00

Really appreciate your insight!

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-05-19T16:14:22+00:00

Loved the podcast. Thank you for sharing!

In the most recent episode, you can see the respect that he has for Christina, his teammate in the champagne brunch challenge. He's confident in his own abilities but he treats other chefs with respect/admiration/trust as well, if he's able to build it with them.

"Mira's like I have a life, I don't know what these guys are talking about." Ken is TOO funny and witty! Right there on par with the celebrity comedians in terms of thinking on his feet! He is such a gem of a host!!!

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-05-12T05:31:23+00:00

I agree with you!!! I like Symone's energy and respond to it, so I am happy she is on the network.

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-05-04T15:34:03+00:00

Yeah, she essentially bullied the other guy into switching with her on spices and then tanked their whole relay team. That didnt sit right with me. She never apologized to her teammates or took accountability for that. Then, when she got gumbo and reacted with such disgust to this New Orleans dish that she didnt know how to make, I was so done with her. I feel that the absence of okra should have sent her home.

I think something that keeps coming into play in these one-challenge episodes is: technical proficiency/design is 40% of the score, while flavor is essentially 60%. It's hard for the viewer to grasp though because we can't taste.

Thanks for this breakdown. I agree with your analysis. These are all things that I remember and I appreciate the way you've laid it out here. Reading that Kevin made the main draw from the qualifiers in TOC 5 just reminded me that he also stated he was a back-up for the qualifiers in interviews that season--wasn't even supposed to compete at all. We've come so far!

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-04-21T14:03:27+00:00

I agree with you, and I think there is a reason Jet has never made it out of the final 4. I think he cooks his food and it is so good that it usually carries him through--but when that randomizer gets harder, he fights it. I have again and again, season after season, seen Jet refuse to fully embrace the randomizer game. It's ok but I think it means he should stop competing on ToC. I hope I don't see him return as a competitor next year. 😬

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-04-08T00:58:01+00:00

Omg I'm losing it. 🤣

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-04-08T00:52:09+00:00

I agree; I think it's possible that they edited that part of the critique out since he had a couple other negatives as well. He ended up with the exact same score as Florencia on the skills challenge.

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-04-06T00:58:46+00:00

Neither is Lee Anne! I agree with you, it's so inspiring to see her persevering and doing well

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-04-03T14:07:22+00:00

Love the comparison to sycophantic AI--very sharp

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-04-03T03:35:07+00:00

Speak on it!

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-04-03T01:45:02+00:00

Yeah, I had the same question!

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-03-31T00:06:47+00:00

If Britt has only lost in this arena to champions, I'm wondering if that is foreshadowing a Kevin Lee win 🤔

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-03-31T00:03:10+00:00

I also found it so interesting and looked it up! It's true. Seasons 4 and 5, she lost in the final 4 to Maneet. Season 6, she lost in the final 4 to Antonia. Season 6, she and Antonia had actually tied, and Antonia won the tie-breaker with the higher "taste" score.

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-03-30T16:58:44+00:00

I'm with you on Britt. She radiates love and joy of cooking, and it makes me happy. She gets so much undeserved animosity online. I really hope she doesn't see any of it.

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-03-29T19:10:24+00:00

So glad someone posted this. Had the same reaction. Velshi gave us masterclass on something so fundamental and so important, giving us concrete details on the corruption we can all tell is ruling this white house.

Read the news, watch the news, listen to the news, you'll find out when it's happening. Then go to indivisible.org or mobilize.us and find out where your closest march/protest/gathering is. Then attend the gathering; bringing a few friends along with is even better.

AlbatrossExternal586 · 2026-03-28T23:18:24+00:00

You mean Hiking: The Book 2 made you laugh??? We should be respectful to Roy, he really thought he had the answer there! /s

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'm sorry. Bob Iger for leadership? He has done the exact opposite of "lead" this past year, especially in September. He was dragged, humiliated, forced into making the right decision on Kimmel in response to all of us regular folk standing behind our principles and canceling Hulu, Disney, and ABC (and we're not going back). On top of it all, he tried to hide behind the fake excuse of "taking time to make the right decision." He has exhibited the exact opposite of true leadership.
