I'm watching Masterchef and the Mystery box challenge and Christian actually said "I don't care what the judges think." He shouldn't be in a competition if he doesn't care about the judges thoughts.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

It was bad enough he was so contemptuous of the other contestants, but he didn't give the judges much more respect either. You notice they didn't offer HIM any goodies or encouragement.

"You have to humble yourself in certain situations, regardless of how great you know you are." Seriously omigod he's freaking delusional.

Askye's disgust is giving me chuckles.

Christian being sent off gave ME the chuckles. I'm mean that way.

He's gone. I'm over it. I can deal with arrogance it's just the utter contempt for everyone else that's driving me crazy.
Plus I keep wondering - is this just an act, is he really like this? And if he is really like this - his way or the highway, no one else can be right- is that how he treats his kid?

After watching the Monday episode, I was thinking - one of the guest judges was Indian and another Israeli - shouldn't they have asked about any dietary restrictions? If the Indian is Hindu, wouldn't he have refused to eat meat? and if the Israeli kept Kosher, wouldn't she have refused to eat shellfish? or did they assume, since there was no warning up front, that there weren't any forbidden foods?
And, on that note, I had lunch (corned beef on rye with mustard - good, but not as good as it should have been) from a Kosher food truck.

I wondered that too - but the Israeli judge ate the shellfish with no problem and the Indian judge ate the beef.
I have to say that I loved the teamwork that Adrien and Jennifer showed in the elimination challenge in the first hour.
