Sad that the one person who knew how to use it was Mike I.
SO SAD. Blech.
Brian (Bryan?) looks so surprised every time he wins. And I think he knows it's pissing his brother off. I'm just worried that Michael's competition with BRIAN is going to affect how he competes overall.
I can't believe how many people chose fish last night. When I think ranch cooking, I certainly don't think fish.
I'm more perplexed by the Season of Ceviche. I said to Allyson last night, "This is Top Chef, not Top Ceviche!"
I'm waiting for the judges table where the bottom three ALL make ceviche.
I'd never even heard of ceviche until the past year or so. And I totally agree that fish on a desert cookout was not the best idea in the world.
SYTYCD: this round of auditions did not impress me at all. I did like the gay ballroom dancers (very impressive), and it'll be interesting to see how far the deaf dancer can go in Vegas, but other than that, no one really stood out except as The Ones To Be Mocked.
Oh, and the b-boy at the end; he was good, too. I've been wondering where all the hiphoppers were at this season!

Well, that's certainly part of it.
I'd never even heard of ceviche until the past year or so.
But do you know how to pronounce it?
Don't you think they chose fish because it would cook faster? I wouldn't want to cook a steak over a campfire. I'd rather eat all vegetables first.
SYTYCD: I think the Deaf woman has skill, but not skilled enough to compete on SYTYCD. The show has EXCELLENT dancers. Homegirl ain't gonna make it and shouldn't.

I'm pretty sure she won't make it past Vegas. I don't think she would have been put through if she hadn't been deaf, but giving her the chance makes them look good.

Seriously.
And I was going to say, didn't they have an outdoor ceviche problem earlier, but I guess that was Masters.
I just did a tally. Last night's episode featured a record breaking (okay, I'm assuming it's record breaking) SIX ceviches. (4 in the QF and 2 in the EC.)
That brings our season ceviche total to 11. And we're only on the fifth episode.
ETA:
I'd never even heard of ceviche until the past year or so.
I first remember hearing about it in Season 1 when Harold made a ceviche with spicy popcorn or something.
Don't forget, Mattin did a
trio
of ceviche(s?).
I am happy to note that there seem to be fewer duos and trios of things this season.
Maybe after last night they'll all get superstitious about ceviches. Maybe.

God, seriously.
