Edit: Yahoo's gossip site is actually called "OMG"? OMG

Bwah!

(Over at TWOP people - basing this on something in a NYC gossip column, think that Padma and Tom Colicchio have been having an affair. But some other newspaper had a picture of Salman Rushdie out and about with a dark-haired woman who was actually NOT a foot taller than he is.)

Hell's Kitchen: That was interesting. And weird observation from tonight: does Melissa have a scar or tattoo on her chin? Or is she actually the bearded lady?

I thought maybe a zit since I hadn't noticed it before.

Maybe it was a goatee and she was her own evil twin? Damn, that was a sorry performance.

Loved Bonnie and Julia tonight.

I tried to watch HK, but Melissa was driving me nuts and I had to stop. Please tell me she got kicked off.

She was nominated (and rightfully so) but for reasons beyond me - Ramsey chose to saddle the Blue Team with her and nobody was eliminated tonight.

(Oh, people at TWOP are suggesting that nobody was eliminated to make up for having to send Aaron home that week - - so they are 1 down from where they should have been.)

That was my guess.

Melissa meets Rock - which gives way first? and do they hide the cleavers?

The Melissa thing was so bizarre. I know she was a bit overbearing and annoying before (with the ridiculous "flowing" hair she was constantly tossing around) but last night? She looked and acted like she was on the tail end of a lost weekend. She seemed to be not only sabotaging everything but also suddenly incompetent and seriously unkempt.

I'm fairly new to the world of reality TV but has any contestant on a show ever devolved so far so fast before?

I've said elsewhere that I think she was on too much Red Bull (or related beverage) or was cut off her Red Bull supply.

Her mind seemed pretty cloudy and she just wasn't with it.

Yeah, but she insisted that she be in charge. It was bizarre. I guess she's lucky that Ramsey had the option of not eliminating anybody.
