I loved all the old football players at the event. Ones I'd heard of even! You could tell Dale was pretty freaking excited about it as a fan!

I know! Gayle Sayers! And Richard Dent! That was cool. Dale definitely went fanboy for a minute.

And you know that he's going to go to games wearing his Top Chef jersey. I'm glad he won. The jersey wouldn't have really meant anything to anyone else.

Yeah, that's why I was so happy that he won - he was such a fanboy.

It really made me forgive a lot of his mercurial hissy-fit behavior. Him being a Chicago homeboy may also explain why he's been a LOT less condescending than a lot of the others.

I believe that Dale and Stephanie are the only remaining Chicagoans.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Top Chef: Yeah, and you'll note that two out of the three top ones of this challenge were the Chicagoans. The SO picked Dale's to win from the start, because he so totally got what the challenge was, and delivered. I was happy for him. And I liked his apology a lot. I thought it took a lot to do that and I appreciated that. I don't think his negativity comment was intended to further incite. I just think he didn't realize it'd be taken as confrontational.
The SO went fanboy too, we were so excited to see them. I was all, yeah, if I ever cook for the Fridge, I would retire happy.
Totally lunging through the screen at assHAT, too. He needs to go. And I'm glad Mr. Piccata went. Seriously, poached pears for a tailgate?
And Nikki could have gone too, without me being unhappy. It doesn't take that damn long to make sausage. It wasn't like you were trying to for the quickfire or something. Plus, saying, oh my food was so good that people came back for seconds and thirds doesn't help you when you know damn well the judges haven't been through yet. I have no idea why she ran out of food.

Top Chef: Oh, right, and I had this in my paste buffer but forgot to post:
I'm rooting for Stephanie to go all the way. She's like the less grumpy female Harold.
Totally! I like her a lot and she clearly really is the real deal.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I did enjoy tonight's Survivor, even though I don't love anyone. As it happens, hating the victims suffices!

I loved tribal council tonight. The expressions were priceless. But, yeah, I got up and did the dishes during the reward.
