some weird "Summertime" version
That was Janis Joplin! I love her version of "Summertime."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I too have a soft spot for the song, but only the Bonnie Raitt version. The dude who sang last night's version is a poseur. I laughed too when Shankdaddy said he uses the song to clear a party.

Okay, I know that I hate Rick, but he should have been eliminated. He disrespected the protein!!! That's a cardinal rule!
For some reason I wasn't bothered by him last night, but I'll totally miss Jonathan (though he was looking seriously burnt out by the end there).
Once again, though (as with the sandwich comment last week) the condescension about whether something deserved to win at this level (in this case roast chicken) really stuck in my craw. Don't diss roast chicken - one of the best meals I ever had in my life was roast chicken with lemon and garlic. It only LOOKS simple (I've seen the chef's recipie in a cookbook, and there's a LOT of prep).

Heh-smonster, when you said "Joplin," I thought "No, 'Summertime' is Gershwin, not Scott Joplin." That's because when I think of her, I use her first name not her last, because for me, "Joplin" means ragtime, not Janis.

Understandable. Now I'm having flashbacks to 6th-grade chorus, when we did this whole 20th century music by decade thing.

meara, if you've never heard the full version of Janis Joplin singing "Summertime," there's an excellent live recording of it here.

but I'll totally miss Jonathan
yes, I will. He was my favorite. Now I'm rooting for Susr. Unfortnately Rick Moonen is getting so much screen time that I think that he's the winner.

I guess I'm rooting for Marcus if I'm rooting for anyone, but definitely against Rick. Just because he didn't actively annoy me last night doesn't mean it makes up for anything.
I was rooting for Jody, but even she admits the goat was a catastrophe. Of course, I also found out that after she chose lamb it turned out the piece she got was still partially frozen.

amen. And he needs to do something other than seafood. I wish he'd been paired with Jonathan and had to make the chicken soup. On a side note, that was a stupid "surprise" twist. A good soup takes time to develop the flavors and the stock.
