Natter 41: Why Do I Click on ita's Links?!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sooooooooooo.
Hello. I was offline all morning because DH was busy being the BEST HUSBAND EVAR by taking me to a taping of Iron Chef, which he is covering for a newspaper in PA. It was full of awesomeness. (And best of all, I got a 3-hour workday out of it! Woo hoo!)
That's a little disturbing. The tv, that is.
EEEE!!! JESS!!!! EEEEEEEE!!!!! Who was it?
Jessica!!! That is just so excellent!!!!
Morimoto vs Christophe Eme. I think it's going to be airing in March (obviously I'll be keeping an eye out!)
(Sadly, I can't say much more than that, because the confidentiality agreement I signed when we went in says that Food Network can sue me for $2million for spoilers about the secret ingredient and/or winner. But believe me when I say it was AWESOME.)
What you don't notice on the show is how small the studio actually is. It's all shot with extreme wide-angle lenses to make it look bigger, but nothing is more than 5 feet from anything else in the entire kitchen stadium. And AB's running commentary is even more impressive seeing it live -- he's pretty much talking nonstop for the entire hour of the battle, and none of it is scripted (except the bumpers, of course).
I got a picture with me and AB, but it's trapped in DH's camera right now -- I'll post it when I get home in a few hours.
Dana, that is wonderful wonderful news. Congratulations.

I love Fake Accent as a joke. DW also pretended he couldn't be English on the Wire Season 2, bwah. Also actors pretending they can't act, or get nervous in front of a camera.
I love people complaining that Vartan's French accent is crap. But I do have a French Canadian friend that does the worst Quebeçois accents ever.
