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.

Thrive to spite them

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.

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.

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.

I'm watching how peeps are made. It's all about the air.

They claim that it used to take 27 hours to make a peep by hand, now it takes them 6 minutes.

Pizza topping? I don't think so. Maybe as a dare.

I'm pretty sure that's why he picked her dish on that challenge.

Thankfully, Julia stopped her. I SO wish it had been Ramsay who caught her trying that, though.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

That was the same show where he chewed out Joanna for not realizing her crab had gone bad ... and missed seeing her licking the tongs. ew.

I'd really like to know - does Ramsey look at footage to see what people do when he's not actually watching them? 'cause there have been some things that have happened he didn't actually see but that were caught on tape.

And I think he tends to prefer the women - all the challenges they've won have involved them going somewhere with him and he gets all sweet and charming. The one challenge the men won - they got a spa day.

Go Julia!
