My favorite chef is now Jodi, with her "interrupted sex" analogy.

ARGH! I just figured out who was going to win because I saw the chef in the preview for next week. Spoiler FAIL, Bravo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love the dichotomy of the asian chef with the stereotypical accent and the chef's potty mouth.

And his wife! Telling him to STFU and get cooking. Good times.

My favorite chef is now Jodi, with her "interrupted sex" analogy.

If you ever get up to Boston (or Cambridge, to be precise) you definitely need to get to Rialto. Hell, I NEED to get back there - it's been a long while.

Because books.

We just got spoiled right before the end, too, Vortex. Fail.

I'm finding it really annoying that every episode has different rules and challenge structures. But the chefs are still entertaining.

I loved Jodi and Susur, too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I can see that they're trying to change it up and keep it interesting, but it's just feeling unfair and arbitrary. Fail.

Is Marcus Samuelson on TCM this season?

ANTM, poop!

Yeah, ANTM I was less than enthused by. I couldn't tell if it was true, the photo shoot bit, or just an edit, on who did well, but if true...Well, I guess really, I want to see Raina, Angelea, and Krista duke it out with more photos and such--I'm not seeing Jessica and Alexandra get anywhere, but Alasia, much as she could annoy, did occasionally manage to have good pictures. But she also had some dreckitude, so I'm not too broken up to lose her.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

AI: I wouldn't have cared if any of the B3 had gone tonight. Seeing Siobahn go home before Big Mike and Casey, however, was oddly satisfying. She disappointed me so much. That said, I can hardly believe that 1) Mamasox is the last woman standing and 2) High School Student Aaron Kelly made top 5. What the hell.

ANTM: I haven't seen it yet, but seeing as how it seems Alasia went home, I think I'm done for the season. ALT, I am ashamed of you. How could he let it go down like that? I'm not saying she should've won, even though she was totes my favorite, but to not outlast Alexandra and Jessica? Criminal! I see Tyra and Co. are still on that monkey crack, and now they've gotten ALT hooked.

Yes, and he's kind of an ass.
