    I love how the scene sets Sheldon up with this seemingly difficult and daunting decision and then, in the end, he doesn't even consciously make a decision. He doesn't even think about it because he's so caught up in his discussion with Amy that he just wants to keep the conversation going. Such a beautiful scene. 🥰

    This is a well written seen and Mayim and Jim's chemistry is what makes it, qnd it really helps you see what attracts Sheldon to Amy isn't her looks or personality or even her intelligence, it's the way she understands him, no matter what he says or does she knows how to play off that, he grew up his entire life not understanding people and them not understanding him, but he understands Amy and she understands him she brought the food closer to the donkey so it wouldn't starve

    So Amy knew that Sheldon would not make a choice in that very moment, so she tipped the scale logically and physically so Sheldon had an easier time making a choice. The egg plant is the remedy for starvation while the counter logic places her above Leonard whom Sheldon would have otherwise chosen or not chosen.
