Well he deserves it. A New York state family is trying to get Guinness World Records recognition for their dog's unusual trick -- fitting six tennis balls in his mouth at once. Cheri and Rob Molloy of Canandaigua said their daughter, Erin, brought golden retriever Finley home when he was just a puppy and she was a senior in college. Finley always had an affinity for tennis balls, and they noticed when he was about two years old that he would try to fit as many into his mouth as he could. The dog, now 6 years old, has developed the skill to the point where he regular fits six balls in his mouth at one time.

Worst Cooks in America https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/worst-cooks-in-America Season 18 episode 7 Previous episode reviewed on this blog below. https://patfishblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/worst-cooks-in-america-making-sweet-and.html Winner gets $25,000.00 Contenders left at beginning of this episode: R ed team-Ann Burrell Shannon Lesley Bridgette- Blue team-Alton Brown Mike Leo Kelly At show beginning  teams compete against each other on a quasi- Candyland game.  Evidently this episode was dessert day.  The contenders had to prepare a tart, a pie and a napoleon. I do not like preparing any dessert as flour tends to get all over the kitchen, you need too many appliances and hot milk makes everything curdle.  But it was a good show and like most reality shows do when they want to stretch out the season depending on how the show is doing with the numbers, no one was sent home in this episode.   Red team wins the tasting, feeling, visual challenges.
