Yeah, so the neighborhood buzz is that Hugh lost big. But he gave a very classy exit interview! We still love him here.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Did he go home because the trite cupcake was better executed than his scallop? It was unclear to me.

There's a New Orleans chef, but she didn't get much airtime. Sue Zemanick. She was on Team Leela, but we didn't see her QuickFire dish.

I think TAR needs a new post-production team - both DH and I called the nonelim last night about halfway through the ep.
Anyone else watching Next Great Restaurant? HOORAY THE GRILLBILLIES ARE FINALLY GONE! I'm rooting for Spice Coast on the premise that everyone else left in the competition is terrible, but honestly, I can get better Indian food for lunch already at the Biryani Cart.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There was nothing hard on that leg, right? I appreciated that the food thing was just 12 minutes and done (successfully or not), because I kind of hate watching people throw up, but the chimney sweep thing was just doing it, right? I mean, there was nothing to screw up, as far as I could tell. And moving the sofa is also whatever.

TAR: how many watchers were shouting "Use the dolly!" at the screen during the couch-moving sequence?
Never choose an eating task if you have any choice in the matter. Even though for once the entree wasn't something disgusting, and the view was probably amazing.

Jessica, we sure haven't had a whole lot of challenges that involved serious physical challenges like rappelling or shooting the rapids -- more like following a chimney sweep around or carrying a couch for a mile.
Not that I necessarily miss the seasons where if you landed in a strange country, you could just look around for the tallest structure and suspect you were going to have to climb it, jump off it, or climb & jump off it.

That chimney sweep thing was just stupid.
With the couch, at least in theory there was a navigation element to it, though we didn't see anyone have an issue with that except at the stairs. The real challenge with that detour turned out to be whether you jumped at the option that was ostensibly quick and easy - which, really, should have raised a red flag.

Anyone who goes into a food challenge thinking it's going to be easy is fooling themselves - I couldn't believe so many teams went for it, especially having run the race before!
