oh, one thing that I forgot about Top Chef -- I really liked that they called Dale out of his tacky outfit. When you are the face of a restaurant, you do not dress like you're going to the mall. Even if you are trying to give the impression of a casual restaurant, there's casual, and casual. A button down and slacks is casual, but elegant. polo shirt and jeans is McDonalds, not even Applebees.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Shoot, even McDonald's has a uniform.
He also seemed to delight a bit too much to being a bitch behind scenes.
So sorry to see Tre go, but he knew he screwed up, both with his dishes and his team management. He can come make me cheesy grits anytime. And I have no idea if I like grits or not.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
So there's a "No Reservations" marathon on Travel right now--hour after hour of Tony Bourdain. I swear, I love that man to ridiculousness. He's so acerbic and funny and crazy. Awesome.

BB - Y'all, Dick is just foul. He is a foul human being. I don't know how much more of him I can take. I was really hoping that Jen could provoke him into swinging on her so that he could get kicked out of the house. Does that make me foul? Just ewww.
This show is getting decidely less "lite summer fare" than I need for it to be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously. That was crazy. What the fuck is he still doing in the house? Was it just stupid America's Vote that got Dustin kicked off last time? Because WTF.

And did Amber just say she has an upbeat personality?
Edit, so as not to make a zillion posts: I'm kind of stunned with how lightly they are dealing with the whole Dick/Jen situation.

This. Exactly. He was verbally abusive to her tonight and not for the first time. And even if he didn't actually hit her, I got Jen's back on the fact that he was trying to burn her with his cigarette. The behavior is so decidedly NOT OK, and that's even without seeing the truly vile stuff that is apparently going on in the live feeds. Why don't they get rid of him?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I'm not even a watcher, but just from the stuff I'm hearing reported here, screw getting rid of him. How about bringing him up on charges?

Abso-fucking-lutely. "...and now, Eric! What's up with the ladies' clothes? Ha ha ha!"

The thing with Dick is really starting to disturb me to the point that I'm no longer enjoying the show. When Julie was questioning Jen tonight I so badly wanted Jen to blow the whole thing wide open. It's insulting to me that CBS is trying to make light of this just to keep an explosive personality on the show.
