Thrive to spite them

I missed Sherea's closing statements. I really don't understand the strategy of sitting Courtney out in reward challenges and then playing her in Immunity challenges. Granted they've won the most, but she's by far the weakest player in the game and you'd think they'd want to save their best players for Immunity.

I'm wondering where Frosti's loyalties will be once they merge. The episode was really good though and I think this is the best stuff with the Immunity Idol since the concept was introduced. (although watching it get played wrong in tribal was fun).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Courtney is such a loose cannon. Also annnoying.

Count me in on loving this episode. Janes, James, James, the person who HATED throwing a challenge trying to throw one this time. And failing! Great TV.

What I'm wondering is when exactly the other team decided to change their "brilliant" strategy of throwing challenges, because they were clearly trying to win that one.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

There was a scene addressing that after the reward challenge-- Peih Gee and Jaime realized Sherea and Frosti may not be allied with them anymore. Arguably Sherea sealed her fate right there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Next Iron Chef: I almost feel like Cosotino should have been axed just for freaking out at the camera people. It's not the best chef show, you know? It's the tv-show chef show!

Art Crawl!!!

Jesse - I know! That was ridiculous - what is it that he thinks he's going to win?

I don't get why he wasn't eliminated on the basis of his food - he had two bad dishes and one non-descript one. At least Sanchez had one outstanding dish.

I watched the first 3 Next Iron Chef episodes, it was interesting to see the challenges. The Resourcefullness was probably my favorite of them, but it was weird to see 2 chefs not really do a second dish of their protien, one of them said he didn't want to do 2 of whatever his protein was (frog legs or snails) which just seemed weird to me since this is Iron Chef and the whole concept is to make 5 dishes around the same secret ingredient.

And I was annoyed at Sanchez getting upset when he couldn't plate his food because he ran out of time. Again, it's one of the rules of Iron Chef.
