Right. I think Julia's got good basics and she can learn to make those dishes
And she can prioritize on the fly. If she knows what's going into something, she's aware of how much time she does or doesn't have on something else. Nobody else on either team seems to have the first clue how to do that. Learning the technique to make a dish is easier than learning how to do five things at once, IMO.
Does Chef Ramsey look at the footage when deciding who goes? There have been things that happened when he wasn't around that should have had some impact, but a lot of the time they don't ever seem to come up. I'm thinking especially of last season when one of the people said something was almost ready and the person who was assembling the service took her at her word and then got chewed out when it was going to take a while to cook and then the person lied about what she'd said.
I love that TWoP has the Gordon Ramsay bleep-o-meter in their recaps. Love.
Sean, I missed the Ice Road Truckers on Sunday, but I caught it tonight. Those guys have got to have fricking nerves of titanium to do that. Everytime I heard the ice cracking I wanted to tell them to get the fuck off the road.
Yay! I can talk Ice Road Truckers with Sail!
I loved Alex. He cracked me up. Crazy old bear of a canuck.
I loved some of the accents. That kid hauling the oversize loads is so Fargo it's ridiculous.

His wife and kid were beautiful with their pretty, oversized almond eyes.
I'm watching Ice Road Truckers now. The stuff at the beginning about how they make the road was really interesting.
The cool thing about being unemployed? I've been able to watch 3 episodes of Mythbusters in a row and I'm on number 4, now. So far, I've seen them blow the mute out of a trombone with firecrackers, paint people gold and silver in an effort to kill them (well, they volunteered!), train goldfish to prove they have more than a 3 second memory, sink a boat to see if people get sucked down by the boat wake, whether toast always falls buttered side up, if a person can get thrown through a plate glass window without getting cut, etc. I'm in heaven.
And now they have the episode where they see if airline toilet seats can eat you starting with your bottom. This is the greatest show.
