I think so too. He is mature, talented, and sexy. Plus, people know who he is and like him.

I just watched last night's BB, and what the fucking fuck? I hate each and every one of them (especially Eric), and also CBS. Naked challenge? Kissing tasks? I mean, seriously. I'm afraid starting pretty soon, everyone's going to keep Dick around in hopes of going to the final two with him, and that's just gross.

I guess now top three for me would be CJ, Casey, and Sara.

I'm with Bourdain, though - Casey's knife skills were so staggeringly bad that I find it hard to keep her up there. And Hung is becoming more appealing as some of the arrogance leaches out.

The SO says that Tre is good enough that losing might be the best thing that ever happened to him. He thinks he'll totally be able to make it on his own.

Yeah, I have a feeling Tre's going to fare pretty well from this.

Yeah, no shit, Jesse. I'm kind of hoping Zack turns out to be some sort of dark horse, since he's about the only one I don't actively despise now that Jen's gone.

seriously! And could they have been any more condescending and belittling towards Amber when she was talking about modeling?

TC: Yeah, I could be talked into that, brenda. I forgot to read Bourdain's blog. Lemme go do that now.

Also it seems clear now and at the beginning that Hung had some real skills, it just was getting covered up by the persona. Which I think it really was, as he seems to have settled down now. Didn't he mention in the first episode that he sort of intended to be the asshole? But since then he's encountered an actual asshole, so maybe it doesn't seem like such a good idea to him anymore.

I think he does have a good bit of actual arrogance, but if that can be tempered into pride of workmanship, that could end up being a good thing.

He whipped through those chickens, like whoa. Casey was painful with those onions, I could have done a better job easily. I felt slightly better about it because winning the challenge didn't really seem to help them. Frankly, having Stephen talk wine to me woud have been a detriment, not a help. I would have commented on the annoying sommelier.

Colicchio's face when Hung was chopping the chickens was priceless. Oh, and ITA on Stephen. That would've driven me up the wall.

Hee. In the grand tradition of awesome episodes that contribute to my actual culinary knowledge, I rewound a couple of times for how to cut those onions. And possibly also how not to.

Hung was too fast to be helpful to me. I still am afraid of complete chickens. Not in a David Boreanaz way.

I think that DB would love watching Hung deal with chickens. It might even be therapeutic.

Okay - I need Dale to stay in as long as possible. I love his confessionals and he totally handled Ciccone and Stephen perfectly.
