Mmmm - pie.
Although not many of those last night would have made me say that.
Also, I'm curious how that choclate thing was anymore not a pie than a quiche would be (though the chocolate thing looked good).
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Quiche is totally a pie. Moreso than the winning cobbler thing, anyway. (Which looked super-yummy, but not very pie-like.)

Cheerios.
But moving on to last night's ep - WHO ARE THESE PROFESSIONAL COOKS WHO HAVE NEVER MADE A PIE???
More to the point, who are these Top Chef wanna-bes who don't have some sort of dessert up their sleeve given they usually always throw at least one dessert challenge at the guests.

Quiche is totally a pie.
Right, so what was up with the guest judge's comment "It's really more of a quiche than a pie".

Punishingly Intricate
Also, I'm curious how that choclate thing was anymore not a pie than a quiche would be (though the chocolate thing looked good).
Yes, it was really a chocolate tart but it looked (and evidently was) delicious so it got a pass.
Most of those pies were nutso.
It's so weird these first couple of weeks -- there are people who have gotten basically no air time yet. Like the guy who did the "Puerto Rican" bbq. Where did he come from?

Because books.
I think quiche, savory anyway, would be wrong because it was supposed to be dessert. But quiche is totally pie.
And like Frank says, how do these people not come with one dessert item up their sleeves? It's like the contestants who never practice lighting a fire when they know they're going to be on Survivor. Learn from others, folks!

And I meant to say this last night - Anya is invited over for coffee. Jose, too.

The winning one did have a bottom crust, so I think it counts.
The bigger questions - WTF with the peanut butter and celery?

Damn. I think in some of the fast parts Alex Fucking Wong was out-dancing Twitch. That was amazing. It started good and kept getting better and better!
I also am glad that my Adechike love is vindicated this week (finally!) And Jose totally brought it with Anya - he made me think he was sexy (when usually I just think he's nearly as adorable as Kent).
I hate Melinda, but she has also had HORRIBLE "draws". I mean, Ashley gets contemporary over and over and Melinda gets jive, samba, and whatever the hell that was last week? Also, Pasha looked ridiculous in those white pants, which is saying something.
I would love to have been in the camera/control room when the realized the strap broke and started worrying there would be breastage on live TV.
