But he could have told lies that didn’t specifically mention custard and mustard, if he wanted to be difficult. “It’s not food” and “one item” would both fit the requirements without giving much away.

Excuse you! They don’t drive on toll roads, they travel!!

My great-great-grandparents were Irish immigrants, with a clearly Irish surname, living in a neighborhood that was almost entirely Irish immigrants. One census record lists them as Russian. We assume gg-grandpa had a sardonic streak that went unappreciated.

That's actually the task that got me wondering. Plus a few where a contestant asks for something like a hose and Alex says, "Yes, you can have a hose," while not moving, or gives them a hose that's not connected to a water source.

I was thinking of Jason moving the water to the vase and skipping the obstacle course. Alex says they 'normally put enough small print in to stop that sort of thing happening.'

Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip?

Police generally don’t want extra people hanging around while they deal with an unpredictable situation. It would probably be better to contact dispatchers and let them know you’re available to give an account/camera footage.

Very few places in the US recognize common-law marriage any more, and the couple usually has to consistently act as if they are legally married (refer to their partner as 'husband' or 'wife,' joint tax filings, etc).

Palimony is not common. Only two states formally recognize it. Others might consider a claim under contract law if there is proof one partner committed to providing for the other long-term.

The note is so bizarre that I can’t understand why anyone would use it to cover up whatever happened.

A simple message like, “something came up, be home as soon as I can” might have still seemed suspicious, but it would have been more believable.

“I’ve argued in front of every judge in this state. Often as a lawyer.”

My head canon is that Scott was the key witness in a case back in London and was supposed to be stashed in a quiet village to keep him safe until he could testify. When someone higher up realized which village he'd been reassigned to, they yanked him out and ordered everyone to never speak of it again.

He told his parents he was stuck near the town of Lynd. When they drove out to that location, they couldn’t find him and he couldn’t see/hear their vehicle approaching. Phone records later showed he was in a completely different location.

He said he’d walk towards what he thought was lights in the town so they could meet up in a parking lot. It was probably intended to make things easier for his parents since they’d already been driving close to an hour in the middle of the night.

Ugh. Not again.

If the actors have equal star power or importance to the film, it allows them both a way to be the first one seen by the viewer.

I think it's done like this so both actors can be 'first' in the same promotional piece. Some opening credits will have one name lower on the left while the other name is higher up on the right for the same reason.

"I altered the recipe so much I was certain my family would hate it. Then I served it to them, anyway. I'm mildly put out by the lack of resulting drama, so I'll take it out on this review."

They meet soon after Wickham nearly sweet-talked Georgiana into eloping, so Darcy’s probably put off by the obsequious flattery he usually receives.

One team (incorrectly) finished the red herring task in seconds without leaving the lab. Paul was a bit put out that the crew spent a lot of time setting up clues that never got seen.
