Yay Ireland! this will be cool! so far, the lesbian ministers, the brainy brother & sister and the Dad and Daughter are my faves!

Yep. And thank god the goths actually seem like they could be cool. The "hippies" (whatev) seem pretty decent too.

Oh, donkeys, how I love you.

Next Iron Chef: Did that guy seriously just say that a real Maine lobster roll has too much mayo? Because, no.

I love that the donkeys are killing the nasty, fight-y teams. Love it, sooo much.

Yes, for once I was very happy about the first elimination.

I didn't tivo, but wasn't that the team who had said they would fight nasty and "while Karma is a bitch, I'm a bigger bitch".

Oh yeah! Good times.

One of my rules for playing the game is: always be quiet and calm around the animals. While it's not quite spitting-llama territory, a stubborn donkey will teach you that real fast.

Hells yeah. "We've tried EVERYTHING!!!!" girl had me rolling my eyes like you wouldn't believe -- um, no, you've tried pushing it and yelling at it.

Did anyone catch The Gourmet Next Door on the Food Network this weekend? It's the show for the winner of the last Next Food Network Star. It definitely has better production quality than Guy's show did when it first aired.

Shit! I completely forgot to Tivo that. Must see when it's repeating...

It's better than that show. Of course, I like the winner this time so much better than Guy.

Yes - and that the bread on real Maine lobster rolls is not good. (But I didn't expect Cosentino to make it to the final.)

I loved that the French were both appalled and then wonover by the ice cream float.
