They've started a new season of "Master Chef" - just got through winnowing the entrants down to 18. Some interesting people; I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. One of the things I like is that the competitors aren't all cut-throat and bad-mouthing each other. At leat not yet.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Was there no Food Network Star this week? We missed it because DH was blogging the Tonys for work, but the Tivo hasn't picked up any repeats either.

There was. It was 90 mintues so maybe it conflicted with something?

Todd,
I agree. I am interested in how they will treat the blind woman. I keep wanting them to give her a bit of extra time to cook.

I find it interesting that they included her, but I have to wonder if she's in because they couldn't reject her out of hand. Yesterday's episode showed her with someonw who acts as her eyes - guides her around and, at one point, helped her find the olive oil she'd put on the counter. They emphasized that the guide won't have anything to do with the cooking. We'll see.
And Bubba went back to his swamp (his word, not mine).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
SYTYCD: Oh, yay. I was really afraid the praying mantis guy would be too queer for them. He still may be, of course, but I expected them to send him to choreo for bullshit reasons.
And did that "big Italian family" blonde girl not do EVERY SINGLE THING Mary said not to, at the start? Come on, now.

Thrive to spite them
I watched the latest two master chef episodes. In the mystery basket and Risotto challenge it seemed lile the hwlper couldn't teller her anything.
I don't know how Helene could think her rice was done. I remeber from a Top Chef. Tom saying Risotto is often served wrong. So I wasnt surprised to see people had it to dry.

Because books.
SYTYCD: Has Shankman been crying tonight? He looks all ... pink or something.
What exactly does "bad feet" mean? What are good dance feet? Doesn't it depend on the style?

Yeah, Shankman's eyes look teary.

They don't point enough? I am making this up.

Oh, listening harder to Shankman's voice, I think he has a cold.
