It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Rewatching the latest TC: Restaurant Wars episode this afternoon, and this thought occurred to me -- isn't this the first time in four seasons that one team clearly won on the first try?

Also, something I didn't catch in previous viewings: Bourdain, when bringing in the assistants, referring to Richard/Antonia/Stephanie as "Team Woodstock" and Dale/Lisa/Spike as "Team Altamont." BWAH!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

NFNS is a pretty good show. I'd never seen it before. I was very surprised to see Cory (from Last Comic Standing) on the show.

Not for long, though. This is actually a better group than last year's (almost all of whom I wanted to strangle).

Because books.

She was surprisingly unfunny.

Looks like Shane was on Nickelodeon's All That a few years back. Huh. Bobby did not look sympathetic when he started crying, although I wanted to pet his head.

A much better qualified group of people than in any of the previous years, imo. I want the woman from RI to do well.

The Texas Diva needs to be off my tv immediately.

Yeah, I didn't hate the cast on NFNS this time.

So annoying! And so plastic looking! And does anybody have the slightest friggin' idea what she's talking about when she tries to state her POV?
