Hot Pot Sergeant!
I like the snowboarder, he's cool.

I need to orchestrate a situation where I can use 'hot pot sergeant' in normal conversation.

what's the status of homosexuality in Japan? an equivalent show in the UK would definitely have homosexual or bisexual participants. to be honest I find the gay element in UK TV now to be too much, especially in soap operas and reality shows. I am actually interested by the lack of them, it's a relief.

Perfectly countered.
I did like Arman eventually, he was just coasting by doing nothing significantly entertaining for months and didn't have a care in the world about it. It's always perfect when the presenters get up in arms about providing free accommodation for someone who isn't pulling their weight.

The thing about Arman's edit that was perhaps unfair to him was that when Arman was leaving LocoMart (the gardening center in Kamakura) the honcho said that he was the hardest working TH member who'd ever worked for him. The panel who'd been giving him a hard time took back all the things they said about him being a slacker as it recast him in a different light coming from a successful business leader (with good reason, the crew probably couldn't make the trip from HigashiGotanda to Kamakura every shift).
Arman has gone behind the camera and is doing a lot of work in video production in Hawaii and Japan. It's vague whether he's still with Martha or not.

Up to episode 7. I love that the disappointing mizutaki is still being brought up seven weeks later.

I think around ep7 it starts to get really pretty in Karuizawa. Any scene with Tsubasa's Dad is my favorite so far.

It looks like a nice area. I like the shots with Mt. Asama rising up in the background.

Tori-chan's dismay on the subject of ex-partners hooking up is amazing
― jmm, Saturday, 17 March 2018 04:16 (six years ago) link
I think Tori-chan looks really fresh this season with her no bangs and short hair. My spouse said she looked old! WTF!
― Yerac, Saturday, 17 March 2018 23:24 (six years ago) link
Yuudai seems so much younger than anyone who has been on this show.

your spouse OTM! I liked her look most in the first season.
here's a vid of her interviewing Tokyo Hotel in German:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFCVnlPDi8k

Yuudai seems to get younger and younger every episode.
― jmm, Sunday, 18 March 2018 17:02 (six years ago) link
watching both series simultaneously. arman has just joined in series 1. enjoying series 2 cast more, though yuudai is infuriating. ami was mean to him on their athletics course date tho

Yuudai should have been on Aloha State.

The most gripping and dramatic aspect to Terrace House is Tori-chan's face when the others are all being vulgar

Meanwhile she's doing splatter movies with Sion Sono.

I like Tori-chan, but I do think she lays it on kind of thick sometimes.
― MrDasher, Monday, 19 March 2018 01:40 (six years ago) link
We can't figure out what the deal is with Yuudai. I thought Ami was perfectly fine to him on the date. He's an oblivious 12 year old. Episode 8! And then have to wait for new episodes to drop. Will start the ones on Terrible House after. I love when Tori-chan puffs out her cheeks.
― Yerac, Monday, 19 March 2018 01:42 (six years ago) link
Seriously, what is up with Yuudai. I don't want to but I might have to do some research on reddit about his fuckery.

When he asks his ex to put his socks on for him...
I guess he did say up front that he expected to be treated like a puppy.

Tsubasa and Shion are pleasant and low-key. There's not much to say about them.
― jmm, Tuesday, 20 March 2018 00:11 (six years ago) link
I see that there is some talk online of Shion and Tsubasa both being gay and just mutually agreed upon dating for the show. Regardless I love them both and would watch them just for pleasant hanging out.

yuudai’s ex’s response was classic. “no.”
― ||||||||, Tuesday, 20 March 2018 08:31 (six years ago) link
His ex's and his friends' responses were like "damn, ice cold." Everyone is just done with him.

Hahaha! VP. Too bad I am not in the city, we could watch this together. We love it so much.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 20 March 2018 16:58 (six years ago) link
VP, go chrono:start with BGND on terriblehouse.comthen BGitC on regular netflixthen Aloha Statethen BGOND

I'm finishing up Aloha State now, and it's getting good again with Chikako.

Oh wow, I just read the summaries for season 2 epis of Opening New Doors. WINE!

The first 3 eps of S2 are on Terrible House, and you should definitely watch them, huge bombshell!

why do the panellists continually hold their hands up over their mouths ? mostly when laughing, but sometimes when speaking too. is it a modesty thing? or are they embarrassed by their teeth ? I thought it was just the women who do it but I've noticed yokui doing it too
― ||||||||, Friday, 23 March 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
Only the Tokyo panelists do, you'll notice the Kansai ones don't (Baba-chan & Tokui). It's a regional thing.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 23 March 2018 19:38 (six years ago) link
that's interesting. I thought yokui was from kansai? I thought I'd picked up on that when they were doing all the (very opaque) riffing on natsumi's accent
also why is tsubasa so lovely
― ||||||||, Friday, 23 March 2018 19:40 (six years ago) link
Tokui does a lot of impressions of the team members, maybe that's why? He has a distinguishable Kyoto accent and Babachan has a thick Osaka accent. When they laugh, they show their tongue and inside of their mouth which most stereotypical Tokyo people think is uncivilized.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 23 March 2018 20:00 (six years ago) link
The new season Tsubasa and Taka-san have these crazy mountain accents and speak in dialect to each other that's pretty country but cool. I think the panel made fun of Taka and his bro's radio station where they speak almost exclusively in dialect.
