Oh I KNOW Courtney was like "BE KIND TO YOURSELF. Comparison is the thief of joy. Screw other people. You summoned the grit to keep going and earned this success! Do you realize how rare that is? SO many people can't/don't stick it out. YOU ARE EXCEPTIONAL!"

That's the thing. SO MUCH OF IT is out of our control and we're still expected to hit all those imposed (self or otherwise) goalposts. I keep saying every writer must have a masochism streak. Sigh.

OMG yes it's never ending. So insidious. And none of us are immune. Sigh. "It should have gone into multiple printings. "It should've earned out." "It should've made the best sellers list."

Like literally that was my intro/gateway into the genre. I'm walking around the bookstore, wander by the romance section and was all "Who is this Nora Roberts chick who's taking up half the shelf space??!!"

Was anyone surprised he went with a Halloween theme for his first bake? Lol
And typical Reece having a little bit of a rant and furious with Phillipa right off the bat. She’s going to win! Because she was getting fancy

He and Steve are just clearly very decent people. so good and refreshing to see. Also wanna track down their LoG stuff with Mark Gatiss who I loved in Sherlock!

I loved Reece in Celebrity Bakeoff. And Steve on Taskmaster! And Steve dominated the week he was on Richard Osman's House of Games.

You're totally right that it was the rhythm, speed, and pace of it that made all the difference. Like two champion tennis player battling it out volleying at each other across the net and neither missed once.

And who can forget-My dear lady disdain are you yet living?
Scratching could not make it worse twere such a face as yours were.
Just sets up the dynamic perfectly. Emma and Branagh just took the ball and ran with it.

The way he played it, you really come away feeling like Claudio was an earnest puppy who got led astray and you def hate him less for it.

Silence is the perfectest herald of joy.
I shall see there ere I die look pale with love.
With anger, with sickness or with hunger my lord. Not with love.

The way RSL delivered that line and coming off his DPS phase? Chef's Kiss!!
I really love this movie and adaptation SO MUCH. Say what you want about Branagh irl and what a douchebag and arrogant asshole he is and what an idiot he is for cheating on Emma, but the man knows and can do the Bard!

Charlotte, KC was down like 34-0 well into the 3rd quarter. TOTAL BUTT WHOOPING!! That 22 points Mahomes/Chiefs put up after that were meaningless! lol

Honestly I still want to know WHAT he did to Kendrick!!! Like man. I just hope and pray I never make someone hate me as much as Kendrick hates Aubrey and make them want to devote the rest of their life to destroying me!
