Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Harold's blog -- can you believe it? Three blogs up in one night?

And an article about Harold and Perilla.

Okay, avoiding all Top Chef talk until I watch it, but Dick on BB has actually said to Jen/in front of Jen that he wants to tie her up, anally rape her and then watch her bleed to death.

He needs to go. Yes, he's entertaining, but he's crossed so many lines that it's not even funny.

Be Back after I watch my DVR'd Top Chef.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

TC: Ah, Damn. I see why they made the decision, but damn.

eta: who are people's top three now?

Oh Tre. I knew you were doomed the moment you said, "I could do a bread pudding in my sleep."

Personally, I think CJ should have gone home. He didn't seem to do anything but make salty lobster and abdicate responsibility. That does not equal a top chef.

The pleasant surprise of the night was Sara. She impressed me.

Me too. She wasn't rude, or hostile, but she was clear on what she wanted and made them redo things if she didn't think it was right, and you saw the exact moment she really became the head chef, as she was talking to Hung.

"I could do a bread pudding in my sleep."

Yes, he said that about that salmon he made for the BBQ episode and it kind of went the same way.

I think that Tre, being head chef should have delegated the duties better. (Also, shouldn't he have tasted that salad and made CJ do it over?)

Yes, Sara rocked. I am having hopes that there will be a woman in the top four after all. I think that Dale moves up which makes me very happy as I have been rooting for him. He and Sara both took the opportunity to show their leadership skills and ran with it. (Did I say that here before? I believe I said that elsewhere.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

you saw the exact moment she really became the head chef, as she was talking to Hung.

Yeah, absolutely. When Hung was like, "Is that what he wants, or what YOU want, chef?" and she came back with "DO IT AGAIN!" That was awesome.

Also, I still love Harold, and think he must be pissed about how legit all the Quickfires have been this season -- no vending machine, no convenience store, etc.

Well, Frozen Food, ice cream mixers, - that's not all haute cuisine.
