Trust my rage

I could see Bryan as passive-aggressive, but I still like him way more than his brother.

Art Crawl!!!

Apparently, (read on TWOP) the quickfire winning Buffalo Wings recipe that Michael made was actually originated by his brother.

oooh, tacky! I mean, all chefs use things originated by other chefs, but to do a dish from someone else in the competition is not cool. And you know that if the situation had been reversed, Micheal would have been the first person bitching about it.

Punishingly Intricate

Dissenting opinion here: I loved padma's bangs!

I actually cried when Jen was eliminated.

I didn't like the bangs on the train. I did like them, however, in the other situations. And yes, she's gotten very boobalicious since we last saw her.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, dear. I'm watching the Meat Man episode of Mythbusters. Disturbing.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Just popping in to say WRT SYTCD that ITA with all you smart people. My top four would be Elenore, Jakob, Russell, and Kathryn. Winner would be one of the first two.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Happy TC talk: I've been to Brix! It is just that beautiful there. In fact, they must have been there (to Napa) only a couple weeks after we left.

Sad TC talk: Aw, Jen. I really was pulling for her.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Loved Kevin's reaction to Michael's opinion of his cooking style--screw you, I'm going to cook my food my way, I don't care if you "cook like that on the weekend at home," I'll make it taste exquisite and stomp your ass into the ground.

Also loved that he got a kick out of the fans' supporting his beard on the internet. I was hoping he'd say something about being compared to Yukon Cornelius, but maybe that comparison is nothing new to him.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Survivor:

a couple of things didn't make sense (and I blame editing, etc.) for it:

a) why did the group decide to cook the chickens when it looks like they all had food at the reward challenge.

b) Jeff said in his column at EW that he thinks John should have shared the pie. What do you all think?

c) why didn't they tell us how the chicken tasted after it was cooked? It was a serious bone of contention, but no discussion of the result?
