I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

BTW, Tom said that Padma's votes don't count at all b/c she doesn't like her meat rare and the rest do.

Interesting shutdown of the only woman of color on the judge's panel!

That's been happening all season. And notably in regard to Nick.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Nick still can't salt his food, but wins? No one is going to convince me this season wasn't rigged in some way. I think I'm done with this show.

Liese, did you watch this week's Face Off? I'm interested to get your opinion of the Guitar Gods.

I didn't get rigged so much as I got These are my prejudices, let me show them to you, over and over again.

Sure. Without a series of inexplicable Nick saves, they might've had to go through the back half of the season with no white men at all. What kind of competition would that be?

I would love to see reactions from any of the many, many people who've been booted for under-seasoning.

I did not! What did I miss?

The challenge was to make a Rock God character that was becoming one with a guitar - they were provided the guitars as inspiration. The winning look was super weird but pretty cool and an interesting idea, and the other top look was really great. I thought you might have a more educated opinion than I can manage...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

TC this season was a JOKE. Fucking Nick, man.
