I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Thrive to spite them

They had a quick reward challenge where the teams had to make 3 lobster dishes. And Ramsay called it really close abnd declared the red team the winners. So the guys had to separate at all the recycables from the trash.

And now Josh has to get a live lobster every time someone asks.

Yeah, I couldn't believe how much Rock lost it. And it's like the more he was doing that loser task the angrier he got.

Live lobster without claw bands. I kinda love that.

Blue team is just a mass of disfunction right now, it's not even funny (well maybe a little lot).

They thought that they were going to really be on top of things with their extra person and she DID promise not to sabotage them, but I think she can't even help it, can she.

No I don't think she could help it.

I knew that short of someone royally screwing up Melissa was going to go.

Thank god. I was starting to get about her the way River Tam was about Book when he let his hair down in Jaynestown. Too. Much. Hair. And even when she ties it up, it's still out their waiting.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

HK: I don't care how well Jen does the whole rest of the way, I cannot root for a contestant who pulled food OUT OF THE GARBAGE and tried to serve it to customers. Just no. No matter how many fancy pants restaurants you've worked in. I'm still rooting for Julia, but I fear that she's not long for the competition.

TNFNS: Amy kicked all kinds of boot-ay at the Iron Chef challenge, both as a chef and as a color commentator. She's definitely my choice. I really can't see either Jag or Rory with their own FN show.

Big Brother: I think I could like Jameka and Danielle. And maybe Dustin could be tolerable once Joe's kicked out. The whole America's Player twist is so lame that I can't really like Eric. Sad really, because I think on his own, I could've liked him quite a bit. Most of the rest are either meh to leaning toward disliking at this point. Joe is in the actively hate him and need him out of the house now camp.

I'm with kat about Jen. Just ick.

Kat, I know! And really, now that we know she's got big time restaurant experience - yeah - not really making it better.

I want nothing but good stuff for Julia -- she's never worked with or tasted lobster before and she still manages to cook it well. I just hope that if she doesn't win, that she gets some excellent opportunities.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

She did that??????? Ewww... I didn't see that one.
