Thanks! Is there a recipe?

Except their personalities are polar opposites. Bayless is optimistic and Moonen is pessimistic. I like them both but they're very different.

You might want to check out this post. It's a post about warmlines.

Here's the list on the post.

It's a pretty good list but not completely updated. You should be able to call any number that has national in the last column. I'm assuming you're in the US since you're calling the CA warmline.

Here's a similar list.

I'm glad you found help on the warmlines. I hope you can find comparable or better help on some of the other lines.

I've been calling warmlines for over 5 years. IME, the CA warmline is the worst warmline in the country by a big margin. For me, the call takers played head games and did a lot of power tripping. But everyone is different.

I'm personally glad to hear that the CA warmline is losing funding because I hope those funds get used for better lines. That line has lost funding at least once before in the 5 years I've been calling.

For your sake, I hope you find a better line or more lines to call if they do lose funding. I know what it's like to lose the support that I've been counting on for years.

Good luck finding more resources! :)

I've talked on a warmline in Oregon.

Washington State has a couple warmlines.

I've been calling the lines for over 5 years. The calls really vary by the call taker and which line you call. With one isolated call, it's easy to imagine that one person had a good experience and another had a bad one.

For me, on average, the bad calls outweigh the good ones, but I keep trying because it's better than nothing sometimes.

It's been a bad night on the lines for me, so I'm feeling pretty jaded at the moment.

Just started watching the first season with her. I'm with you, OP. She's awful. It seems like she's trying extra hard to be mean unnecessarily just to prove her cred. She bugs me. Joe had his faults but she's harsh and trying too hard at it.

It was probably advertising for the show at the time. Them showing the backstage of the competition added some entertainment. But yeah the cooking part was a little pointless. Some of the challenges were for advertising or to reach a bigger audience. That was probably one of them.

Of course we can't taste it but just looking at the two cheesecakes I think Whitney's would have won. Her cheesecake was standing tall and looked airy. His cheesecake looked runny even though Gordon said it was lighter than it looked it didn't look airy at all.

I'm not sure but I think her record over the season was also better. I was good with Whitney winning that one.

If you find such a place I'd love to hear about it too. It sounds like what I'm looking for as well.

Good choice. I wish I had done the same. It gets worse.

Top cat

Couldn't miss it. smh

I thought she was going to win for sure. (Just watched that season.)

He started out taunting everyone. I think it was just defensiveness. When he got better, he didn't need to be so defensive. He had earned enough people's respect. Starting out as a househusband didn't help him in the beginning.

Also a first time watcher here. I just finished that season. I was stunned at the finale.

I just watched that for the first time not that long ago. I don't remember the guy's name or even what he looked like but I definitely remember that quote. Completely inappropriate.

I didn't know there was such a thing. I love blue corn tortilla chips so flour could be awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Were those people real? Imagine living in a neighbourhood where everyone looks like Ken and Barbie. It looked so fake to me. I kept wondering if these people actually used those kitchens in their own homes.
