That's great!
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Anyone still watching The Taste? Any thoughts? The chef mentor and immunity challenge thing was interesting. I am not a fan of Team Diane.
And I couldn't figure how the food blogger kept setting stuff on fire - were the stations to small? It made her seem like a complete novice in the kitchen but she's obviously not if she could make it on the show -it was somehting I expected to see from Worst Cook.

I'm watching. I didn't love the auditions, but I wanted to see how the weekly format worked. I liked it overall, especially how there's only one spoon up for immunity and you see how the mentor factors in. Also, how in the elimination round the cooks hear them discuss the tastes and how the mentors vote 1 up/1 down and then review.

I was glad to see that the contestants could hear the judges. The guy who made the West Indian curry - the comments (that we saw) weren't that it wasn't real curry but it lacked salt. But he seemed to think they just didn't get it was a different style of curry.
I do not like the cocky guy - I don't know his name,-he was the one said he didn't like comfort food. I kind of wanted him to be on the bottom.

Agreed.
I'm also not on board with Team Diane and was a bit sad to see her do well.

Because books.
I enjoyed it -- it puts just enough spin on the format to make it interesting. I wish Ludo would slow down when he speaks, though. I can't understand half of what he says.

Unsurprisingly, Ludo is music to my ears. "Oh la la, Sarah, you are Baghdad."
