Yeah, that was hysterical. What a fucking idiot.
Danielle and Dick just make me kind of sad for both of them so far.
Yeah, even more so after tonight's ep.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I changed my mind about not wanting anyone to win TNFNS. I really want Amy to win now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yeah, that was hysterical. What a fucking idiot.
Seriously.
I think Kail is overplaying her hand early on.

I stumbled across TNFNS, tonight, and I gotta agree, I like Amy best.

Art Crawl!!!
sj, I totally agree. Amy was the best.
I was a bit surprised that they actually chose food knowledge over personality in deciding who went home.

Amy kicked so much ass last night -- and she would round out their set of winners.
I was a bit surprised that they actually chose food knowledge over personality in deciding who went home.
I was thinking about the "points of view," too, and don't they already have "entertaining on a budget" in a show? Although I guess that's the kind of thing you can never have too much of.... But still -- "food no way you can make yourself" is not a viable Food Network show.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
don't they already have "entertaining on a budget" in a show?
The vast majority of FN shows are some variation on this -- the only exceptions I can think of off the top of my head are Good Eats and Iron Chef. [edit: Oh, and the various eye candy travel shows, which are mainly about getting Giada into a bikini.) Everyone else is about impressing your guests without putting any effort/money into it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Emeril, Bobby Flay, and Barefoot Contessa too, I think.

Yeah, and his response to their past criticism - "in order to Keep It Simple I'll throw together some crap even I don't like" was strange and off-putting.
It's Amy's to lose at this point. I'm a little shocked, actually, that at this late stage in the game, she's the only one who seems to have grasped that the performance element is a Big Deal.
Though Jag at least did give it a shot, and I wonder if that isn't what really gave him the edge.
