Yeah - this week's prize may have been the best one. And one Hung clearly would have appreciated. Now, can he really think that this judge didn't know what he was doing in NOT choosing him?

he'll blame it on it being his first time cooking elk. if he'd had the same experience as everyone else, he would have won, of course.

God, Eric Ripert is SO MY BOYFRIEND.

You guys would make a very beautiful couple!!!

I was so worried for Casey and so happy for her and Dale, the Big Gay Chef.

My group watching ANTM were kind of shocked that Mila was sent home. We were sure Tyra was going to keep her on until she had made her cry!

Horsie Yalie was beautiful in her picture but she kind of bugs me. We kept ending everything she was saying, like, "I just don't get into girls catfighting" with "at Yale." You know she's saying it in her head! I hope though that she steps up as Heather's protector in the house. She needs one! And I really want her to succeed.

I'm just now watching last night's ep. Watching the reactions to Hung's (very obvious) BS at the judges' table is really funny.

Wow, Kitchen Nightmare's was even grosser than I expected last night. And another total asshat of a manager, although this time there was at least the satisfaction of seeing him sacked (technically, I guess he quit, but the writing was on the wall).

Yeah, that was bad. If you're weak of stomach, you want to skip the middle twenty mintues. The rest was good fun, though.

Wasn't that disgusting?

And that was the manager who sued Ramsey - but his suit was dismissed. I bet - all they had to was look at the footage and then take a glance at all the citations from the Department of Health to realize that Ramsey didn't have to set anything up to make the place and that guy bad.

What exactly did he think his job was, anyway?

If you're weak of stomach, you want to skip the middle twenty mintues.

Now I want to know what happened! I can't watch Kitchen Nightmares because failing restaurants is one of the saddest things to me.

But it had a happy ending! And a super cute guest chef. And people stepping up! And non-English speaking chefs thowing themselves into Ramsay's arms! Repeatedly!

First of all - that restaurant had many, many managers but no one would take responsibility for anything. The food was rotten, there were flies everywhere, they were infested with rats and roaches. It was totally the nastiest thing.

For an interesting contrast Ramsey took the staff to his own restaurant's kitchen - his restaurant London is easy walking distance from Dillon's. It was night and day. Everything was clean, neat, bright and shiny at his restaurant.

Secondly, they restaurant's menu was all over the place - they had a bunch of Indian dishes and a bunch of western dishes. The cooking staff could not cook the non-Indian food and the managerial staff did that - not very well.

So, Ramsey had the place cleaned, re-did the front, remade the menu into Indian only and got things moving.

It was a much better episode than last week. I thought it felt more like the British edition.
