I really liked Raj's american accent and Leonard/Sheldon's chess clock. Penny after getting the B- was pretty funny too. The last few weeks have been really solid again.

It was a meh episode for me. The writers are quickly writing themselves into a corner with Leonard and Penny where it just doesn't make any sense they are together. At all.

Liked the chess clock and the "words with friends" , not "words with people you used to work with" from Sheldon.

I agree, having them together too much gives them nowhere to go. More interesting when they are broken up

Watching them just eating dinner and chit chat was kind of boring.

Amy was funny though. I'll probably stop watching this show though. I used to really like this show but now it seems like a show about people in boring relationships.

I'm with you. This one was fantastic. Loved all the scenes with the girls and the chess clock was great.

What were the two extract words?

Funniest episode of the season so far IMHO. Didn't care much for the episodes with Howard in space.

Yeah, really fun episode.

exTRACT (verb, to remove something) and EXtract (noun, a small selection or a part of a product, like "vanilla extract"). Amy gave him extract, the verb, but Sheldon played extract, the noun, a "different" word.
