Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Granted, I haven't watched all of the season's but has anyone gone home from RW because of the food? I only remember the FoH people leaving.

It was traumatic when Tre got axed for being the leader of the losing RW team in Season 3 -- he was obviously one of the best chefs in the bunch.

I thought that was fucked up, but his beet soup/sauce was apparently vile.

Art Crawl!!!

See when Jen was the team captain I thought that she would be expediting the way she expedited that time she won the quickfire - she should have rocked it.

Apparently, Team Red benefited from M.V.'s dictatorish tendencies.

Jen seemed beaten down after the Quickfire for some reason. Given that the actual challenges are much closer together than we see them, I wonder is she's still feeling sick like she was last week (that was last week, right?), which I think would have been a day ago real time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I actually turned TC off 2/3 way into the episode last night because I was so worried they were going to send Jennifer home (she's my favourite) and I didn't feel up to watching that. Poor Laurine, but thank Jebus both Jennifer and Kevin are safe!

Crap! I didn't realize it was going long and didn't see judges table.

Can someone explain this?

Mike V.'s offer was awesome and generous.

The minute Laurine didn't explain the food, I knew she was a goner. The fact that she wasn't cooking her dish herself was also a bad sign. Great food might have made up for it, but it seemed mediocre. Was anyone called out for something really bad?

I don't remember the judges commenting on Laurine's dish at all. But Jen had two with serious problems. (The cloudy bouillabaise and the fish one they called a disaster, IIRC.)

Mike V.'s offer was awesome and generous.

When he won he immediately asked to split the 10 Gs with his team. (Which is brother then got all pissy about and refused @@. I think Bryan's about over the brotherly togetherness.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Mike V.'s offer was awesome and generous.

He won the $10k that the blue team lost in the quickfire and he split it with the red team.

And could Bryan have been more of a douche? "Oh just keep it. I don't want it."

t likes Michael better.

t still hasn't gotten over the asshole-boy thing
