India Killer Fatigue Syndrome
Yeah, I definitely thought this. I felt for the workers, too, and was glad when they cheered for him. You could tell they didn't expect it to be nearly that difficult a challenge. Smell was the key issue here. It's much easier to tell a distinct difference with the odor of tea than the taste.
I was okay with seeing them go, too, but I'm glad he finished and didn't quit.
dammit. I'm missing the nudes!
Ooh, anyone else watching Drag Race on VH1 on the DVR like I do might have missed the big twist at the end -- Michele and Santino (and anyone else?) get to bring back an eliminated queen!
Oh, stocky dudes on HGTV shows, when will you learn that white shirts with horizontal stripes are not your friends?
Top Chef: How ironic is it that Mike
picked all women for his sous chefs
after the way he behaved this season (and in his last)? Now maybe he'll learn a lesson about who to diss.
Yeah, that was so interesting! I would love to see more blind tastings.
That was definitely a cool twist on picking the sous chefs. Also, Mike I. was just much more gracious on this live show thing after than I ever imagined.
Still don't like him much, though.
TC: It was definitely the better of the two outcomes, and I have to admit both meals just looked delicious, but choosing between the two chefs the way they behaved this season was akin to being made to choose whether you'd rather eat tree bark or dog shit. Tree bark won, as it should.
I thought that was an excellent final challenge - and they should definitely always choose the sous chefs that way. I was pleased in a mean way that Mike picked the sous chefs he did. . . but it definitely worked out better for him than I would have expected.
