I was a little intimidated at first, cause with that bald head and those steely blue eyes he looks kinda like a hit man. The kind of hit man who will cook you duck a l'orange with plum sauce and then snap your neck.

Bwahahahaha!!

Richard has consistently impressed me. And he's rather quiet, too, which will serve him well, I think.

Dale's got good chops, and Stephanie has been mostly good (with a few fumbles).

Crazy Andy seems to have talent, but his crazy bugs the crap out of S. He's just too twitchy.

They brought out the first course -- butternut squash soup. It was awesome; everybody liked it. But come on, this can't win, it's soup, right? Anybody can make soup. Then Tom said that soup was very difficult and that in France chefs are judged by their soups. He said it politely, but I knew he thought I was a real idiot.

I thought they were judged on their omelettes.

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

Nothing about this week's Survivor? No love for James and his AWESOME smackdown of Parvati? "You say 'I'm sorry' but you mean 'ha ha ha.'"

Also, Jason was the biggest dope ever to play Survivor. Outwit, Dude, not outtrust.

I don't agree about Jason. Aside from the whole fake idol thing, was he any stupider than Ozzy?

Loved the James and Parvati show. Although James suffered a little bit from the ever-present "I'm just bitter you screwed me over first" disease that so many Survivor contestants seem to suffer from.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I had stuff to say, but then work ate me starting with my bottom and I forgot to post it.

I'm still confused as to why James and Amanda (a) thought that Parvati was the ringleader of the Great Ozzie Blindside and (b) didn't they just TELL JASON THE PLAN????

Seriously, this is how to get Parvati voted off:

1 - Tell Jason "Dude, they're all lying to you, you're going home tonight. For reals."

2 - Vote for Parvati.

3 - Profit!

I love James, but he's not playing smart right now.

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

I think Amanda is trying not to betray the ladies' alliance, while sort of having the sympathy of the men, because this way she gets the men's votes in the end but doesn't have to be in a final three with all her betrayed lady allies in the jury.
