I've heard of Master Chef, but I don't think I've seen it. (Well, they're running it in the middle of the day during the week. I can't watch that.)

I'm watching many, many cooking shows today. Also -- I saw an episoe of "Take Home Handyman" with Andrew Dan Jumbo. Yes!

Thrive to spite them

I only watch Master Chef because of the dvr. I also watch Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

Yay! New thread.

Jumping right in: OK, why hasn't Ramsay gone seriously off on Aaron yet on Hell's Kitchen? Is he scared of inducing a coronary (not an unlikely prospect, sadly - the guy's a mess)?

Aaron needs the kind of assistance that Ramsay cannot provide. Where are the team of mental health professionals when Aaron needs them?

Hell - where were they when they were screening contestants?

I'm pretty sure I get why Aaron wasn't one of the ones selected to be cut by Rock (?). I figure he was hoping Ramsay would choose Josh instead of Eddie (since Josh is a loose cannon asshole who might have some skills, Eddie at least tried really (too) hard, but Aaron would have been a no-brainer "bye bye"). But unless they're setting us up for a "dramatic transformation" story, it's almost sadistic to keep Aaron around.

Whee! New thread. And SYTYCD talk, already! Yeah, I felt sorry for Ricky. I think all the judges tend to have a slight bias in favor of the B-boys. Mia should have been on that panel to even things out. This is my first season watching. What are Nigel's credentials for being a judge?

I just found out that a friend of a friend is on SYTYCD. I've been half-watching most of this season, but I can't remember most of the names. Can someone remind me which one Danny is?

I think that Ramsey hasn't gone off on Aaron because Aaron really is a no-hoper.

Ever since seeing this video [link] I've been obsessed with Paul Potts on Britain's Got Talent. Last I heard he made the Semis and was a pretty good bet for the finals. This

[link] is his semi-final performance.

I've got the dog show on Animal Planet and they just did a little piece about a woman who has Bedlington Terriers and they showed some pups: it's another breed born dark that gets lighter as they age. Cutepies too.
