Got it! This is too much fun! Anyone can jump in, I need to think of a better one.

This episode was awesome!

Emily or Cinnamon: best game ever. Loved the CBS account playing along with it. I wonder if they came up with those or if the writers sent them some.

Leonard and Penny were really cute at the start, and then Shamy in the lab.

Also really loved Sheldon barging in on girls' night and then, "Let's just talk about our periods."

Then at the end with Leonard and Penny singing Soft Kitty to Sheldon. Beautiful trio moment.

Anyway, hilarious episode, showcased all the major dynamics of the show, A plus!

There's more Emily or Cinnamon on Twitter??!!

I thought the Soft Kitty moment at the end was really sweet, with Leonard and Penny singing in harmony! They're well prepared for parenthood!

Maybe I'm extra excited to see a new episode again, but I was either laughing or smiling the entire half hour. This was a wonderfully funny episode, and if Jim gets an Emmy nom this fall, this ep should be his submission (unless of course there is an even funnier episode waiting in the wings this season, which is totally possible.)

Emily or Cinnamon game was fantastic! It was so cute how seriously they were playing it!

I seriously can't picture Sheldon jamming to Taylor Swift.

Oh my gosh, the return of Soft Kitty! Penny AND Leonard singing Soft Kitty! LEONARD SINGING SOFT KITTY FOR THE FIRST TIME!

So much good stuff tonight! Bring on sweeps!

Emily or Cinnamon?
"Sometimes, all I need is to look into your eyes and I know everything will be okay."

Emily. I hope.
Alright one more. Emily or Cinnamon?
"Hold still, you have a little smudge on your chin."

Whimsical Elf

Tricky! I'm going to go with Emily.

And I was actually thinking Cinnamon for the last one, but whatever!

Captain Riterra Smith

I was thinking Cinnamon too. It really is a tough game.

Whimsical Elf

It's perfect! Wonder which writer came up with it. They should get a special bonus!

I love it when they talk dirty flirty with each other.

Anyone have opinions about the balloon popping scene?

Whimsical Elf

I loved that scene!!
They sort of speeded it up, I think, for this second take during the taping. The first take seemed to last longer - it had more pauses and they had to wait for more hysterical laughter from the audience. More sexual tension, definitely! I think we were getting more out of that banana talk and the balloon popping than they intended!

Is there a taping report for this episode? Now that it's aired, I'd like to read some of the BTS funny stuff.

Whimsical Elf

I guess there's one somewhere. I might have to check my notes now, but I don't remember anything particular. I remember Jim forgot his lines quite a few times. The scene with Sheldon and the girls had a few rewrites. This was the one done before Christmas, when they did the flashmob at the end!

The Emily or Cinnamon game was my favorite part of the episode!

Not really any lines this week that stood out from the rest as clear favorites, but a still a solid episode all around.

I loved the Emily/Cinnamon game! So hilarious. I'd love to see it make a comeback in a future episode.

I think a ton of sexual innuendo was intended with both the banana thing - as Sheldon says - who does that horizontal - and also with the balloon popping. I really think this show is leading up to something big for Shamy - probably for the finale.
