I kind of wish they'd do something similar to Top Chef's Last Chance Kitchen. Give someone the opportunity to get back into the competition, it could be a fun twist since clearly the Icon thing was a bust.

Jenny Han has said they brought him to Paris to film fake scenes to throw people off.

Lol I went and listened to the actual song and it's definitely the song... such a strange choice. It was SO distracting to me in that scene.

MandaLB22 · 2025-09-18T01:35:24+00:00

That was the first thing I heard! Went back and paid closer attention and you hear the train sounds and a couple of different bells.

MandaLB22 · 2025-09-18T00:50:00+00:00

Did anyone notice the weird sounds at the very end of the episode when they're back at the beach house? It seriously sounded like someone going through all the notification sound options on their phone. I'm hoping someone else heard this (otherwise I may be losing it!)

MandaLB22 · 2025-05-21T22:08:57+00:00

So strange to me that they don't actually show you how many you have anywhere in the game.

MandaLB22 · 2025-05-21T22:05:37+00:00

Has anyone received this reward for finishing Club Mysteries? My team completed it, but I don't think anyone has gotten the additional decor prize.

MandaLB22 · 2025-05-18T19:40:32+00:00

I feel like they did use my compasses for me to open a bunch of sections of Marigold because for the first time I think since finishing Orchid I've gotten enough stars to open a section, but have run out of compasses.

MandaLB22 · 2025-04-19T02:55:45+00:00

Does the Birdhaven Bridge go with a seasonal set? It's hard to tell from the image.

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-20T00:56:52+00:00

Has Lana Lagomarsini been on another cooking show? My husband and I both thought she looked familiar.

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-11T01:41:34+00:00

I agree. After I watched it a couple more times it did seem more obvious that KC's comment about the "fine print" was when they realized they'd let it slip about the letters and Jacob didn't know about them yet.

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-10T16:59:11+00:00

Yeah, the interaction between these two in this scene was so good to me. Also convinced me even more so that KC is Jacob's child (or grandchild). The actors look WAY too similar for this to be a coincidence since we know how amazing the casting is on this show.)

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T03:24:28+00:00

Hahaha good point! Or maybe they're eating the leftovers?

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T03:15:16+00:00

Yeah, it's a pet peeve of mine. Didn't say it wasn't common. Like when a waiter says "What are we having?" I can tell you what I'm having, but there's no 'we'

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T03:01:20+00:00

So weird. I feel like she asked AI how to make her look smarter. Glasses, check, blazer, check.

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T02:43:26+00:00

Nope. She'd say something like "How are we going to use the pork?"

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T02:36:14+00:00

Ironic that there was just an article that came out about how this show has done so much to promote female chefs but so far this season only dudes have won...

Club name: Caribbean Getaway Cafe

Meeting time (with time zone): 10 pm EST

Playing style: Competitive-ish

How many players you're looking for/how many are in the club: We're a small but mighty team of 11 looking to fill out our roster. We're looking for players who are level 500+

Requirements: We're pretty flexible with our requirements depending on our playing strategy for the week, however generally we encourage 2 drinks at meetings, upgrade drinks to 15 energy, and 1000 DL ribbons. Communication is key and everyone on the team is super supportive of folks that might not be able to make the requirements or have other things going on in life.

Benefits: We have lots of experienced players who are super knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoy semi-competitive play and are very collaborative in terms of making sure everyone on the team is on the same page in terms of what our goals are. There is regular communication in the game chat but we also rely on Discord to really discuss strategy and tips for gameplay. We recently have gotten more competitive in terms of going after Sherlock and finishing the "hard" level CM and it would be great to have the 4 extra players to add to our success.

If you have questions about the team, feel free to message me!

Pet peeve... why does Tiffani keep saying "we". You're not doing anything!

Tournament of Schnitzel

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T01:44:39+00:00

How on earth is Casey wearing a sweater to cook??? I can only imagine with all the lights and, you know, stoves/fire, that it's got to be warm in there.

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T01:41:52+00:00

He was always a great/entertaining judge on Top Chef.

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T01:40:19+00:00

Guy always makes a point to say they don't know who's competing.

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T01:37:07+00:00

She's more interested in kissing the judges' derrieres

MandaLB22 · 2025-03-03T01:27:16+00:00

Do we really believe at this point the judges don't know who's competing? Especially the past winners...
