right now they're playing it wednesdays and thursdays. i don't know if they'll keep it that way when we finally get to the results portion of the process.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Don't they understand my need to plan my social life around their show??? I thought that was what they WANTED from me!!
If that's so, now to decide if it would be better to have people over on Wednesday to watch the show, or have them over Thursday, and put off watching the show and wait until we can watch it with the results. That means we couldn't vote. OTOH, I never voted until the finals last year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I started groaning with the Quickfire winners/losers, but on second thought, butchering is kind of a bullshit challenge -- it's like testing my CEO on her filing skills or something -- that's a task you hire an expert for, while you do the higher-level stuff.

The other thing that's exciting is that I think Stephanie has a real shot, and it's definitely time for a woman to win, but it's not going to be some bullshit Tyra move.

3 to 1 chance it will be a woman!
I didn't realize that Spike had been in the bottom more than Lisa.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Ding! Dong! AssHatAss is gone! As soon as he went with frozen scallops, I figured he was toast, and good riddance.
But Kitty-butt-face lives to fight another round. Oh well. If she pulled off peanut butter mashed potatoes, she's obviously got some sort of skill.
I also think Richard's wheels are coming off a little for some reason - I think Stephanie has a really good shot.
Are there three more rounds, or just one round of the final four (having not seen prior seasons)?

Haven't seen tonight's episode yet, but I'm starting to think that, if Antonia keeps focussing on making food that tastes good, she might actually have a shot.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
But Kitty-butt-face lives to fight another round. Oh well. If she pulled off peanut butter mashed potatoes, she's obviously got some sort of skill.
Oh, she certainly does. She's got a lousy attitude and doesn't take responsibility for her flaws -- which is what makes her sloppy frequently -- but she's not a complete hack. (Looking at you, Spike.)
I also think Richard's wheels are coming off a little for some reason - I think Stephanie has a really good shot.
Stephanie has an excellent shot, but remember, they don't go straight to Puerto Rico -- they get to go home and rest for a bit. Which means they come back fresh: No frazzle, no exhaustion. And for some, there's a possibility that it might dull their edge some, although I have no reason to believe that anyone in particular is in danger of that. (Although I do think Antonia and Stephanie benefited from endurance -- Stephanie hit a wall and then caught her second wind, Antonia just kept getting better as it went on. I suspect she's someone who buckles down more depending on the pressure.)
Haven't seen tonight's episode yet, but I'm starting to think that, if Antonia keeps focusing on making food that tastes good, she might actually have a shot.
I think any sensible gambler would put money on Stephanie to win, with a good chance of Richard, but Antonia makes a really good dark horse this race.
