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.

That was the moment he lost me. I was ready for him to go home after that. I was disappointed when Morou went home first.

Do we think the final challenge will be the final two chefs in Kitchen Stadium doing an IC battle? Because that would be fun.

I'm betting it comes down to Symon v. Besh. I'm rooting for Symon.

I prefer Symon's personality over Besh's, myself.

Art Crawl!!!

I think it'll totally be an IC style cook-off between the two and I will be shocked if it isn't Symon vs. Besh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've figured it would be Symon from the start -- anyone else would really surprise me.

Thrive to spite them

I get that Morou wanted to stay true to himself, but plating does get points on IC and if a chef plates all his stuff the same way it's not showing creativity and it's going to get old fast.

I did notice two things the contestants did that I've seen on IC (although there were probably more). 1) was the catfish ben ( I can't remember how to spell it, but you know what I mean), it was either cat fish or another fish done that way and 2)I'm pretty sure the smoke pillows the young chef did were done on IC as well. However, the chefs might not have known that but it was interesting .

This is me as well. Still haven't seen the most recent episode, though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Okay, that blog was just slightly completely adorkable. Just the smallest little bit.

Seriously adorkable.

Oh, and I tried one of those frozen dinners he's pushing and they are really, really good.
