Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own

Aw, bless Bourdain. It totally cracks me up how many commenters are all up in arms about Hung's win and swearing that they'd never go to his restaurant because they go out to DINE for the FULL EXPERIENCE, and a head chef who was so arrogant and bossy and self-centered would just RUIN EVERYTHING.
Um, yeah. Because (a) of course everyone's visit to any restaurant ever always includes a lengthy observational stay in the kitchen to soak up the atmosphere, and (b) it's a well-established fact that food will actually curdle and go rancid in the hands of an asshole, which is why the universally recognized stereotypical chef is "Warm, fuzzy grandma/pa type, rosy-cheeked, temperate, and beloved by all, who frequently steps out the back door to hand-feed delicious morsels to timid woodland creatures."

Like Bourdain!
Hee.
TC: Time Out Chicago leaks the names of two of the season 4 TC contestants.
Ms. Jay's hair is out of control! Do not like most of the makeovers.
Bravo needs to stop putting Andy Cohen on TV.

On a positive note, I think only one girl's weave looks like doll hair this year.
What's her name looked great with her head shaved! Of course, I was kinda like "Hon, the wig isn't really all that different from the weave they would've put on your head..."
I think the Louise Brooks look needs to be a tiny bit shorter, or less thick or something. She looks like Tootie.
And I was sad to see HorseyYalie go--annoying, but so pretty! And I *remembered* her, which is more than I can say for a couple of those girls.
I did like Liza-the-bikini-waxer, though.
