"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.

Art Crawl!!!

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!

I always think "He's softening them up for the kill, isn't he."

Also, my kittens are on Brad or Bonnie going home next. Maybe Josh, but Brad seems like Vinnie redux and Bonnie's one abusive Ramsay remark away from a total meltdown. Outside of a personal screw up of epic proportions, I think Julia, Rock and Jen are going to be the final 3.

Brad can go any time, as far as I'm concerned. He seems to have delusions of competence - he keeps talking about how good he is, with nothing to back it up. Josh - eh, he doesn't seem to be very good, but he's not getting on my nerves as much as Brad. Hated seeing Rock lose it like that - and I thought dragging him over to do the trash at the photo shoot was just gratuitous nastiness, over and above the usual.

I did love when the women won the challenge - or was it the dinner service? - and Ramsey's pointing out that professional chefs, sous chefs and line chef - lost out to a waffle house cook, a nanny, and a pastry chef. heh

He didn't, though. Rock (feh) won that one.
