Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yes, all the final three were very good.

Like their American counterparts, the producers of The Bachelor: Vietnam work hard to shape contestant story lines. But they want to make it clear that the biggest twist of their first season wasn't planned. At all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw. That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard about The Bachelor.

I loved Making It, and by the end, it had inspired me to pull out wood glue and make a tiny improvement to my coffee table, too. Hope they do another one.

Thrive to spite them

If you are a fan of Mary Berry and British cooking competitions and have Hulu the show Britain's Home Cook is on Hulu. MARY berry is a judge. The 2 others I don't know but are nice. The host is someone I vaguely recognize.

The contestants live in a house together. Although house is a bit of a misnomer it looks like they live in a former manor house so it's quite large. And everyone seems to get along there are only brief snippets of them outside the competition.

Is anyone watch Masked Singer?

I tried the first episode, because I sometimes watch the Korean original, but I couldn't make it through. On the Korean show, everyone can actually sing, and the fun is in trying to identify the voices of different singers. On the American show I was disappointed that most of the people were not singers, and therefore (unsurprisingly) were terrible at singing.

I watched the Mary Berry/Paul Hollywood holiday shows and their 2014 Master Class shows ... I think I need a translator because some of their terms confuse me ... strong flour? castor sugar? do they set the oven temps in Celsius? Not that I'll ever make anything they demonstrated, but ....

They do the oven in Celsius and also mention "fan", so if your oven doesn't have a fan you'd need a different temperature anyway (I think I saw that online their recipes tell you both fan/not fan)

Castor sugar is apparently slightly less coarse than regular sugar, but isn't powdered sugar?

If I had no job and more spoons on a consistent basis I would really love to tackle watching GBBO from S1 and backing every dish made.
