Oh! Yeah, Amanda.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

I forgot to tape Top Chef. And then I realized I didn't care. Wherefore art thou must-watch shows?

Well, try to watch the quickfire - that was interesting. It was a take on the mystery box where they get the box, start cooking and then: they get another box and repeat 'til end of quickfire.
The elimination challenge was to "disguise" a classic dish so that the diners couldn't immediately guess what it was.

Meanwhile, I've started to watch last night's MasterChef and I'm liking the format so far.

Oh yeah. I missed the first say, 20 minutes of it but I got the rest and quite enjoyed it. Good to see Ramsey in food loving non-shouty mode.

I can never remember Amanda's name, so I just call her Leah. She's like her doppleganger or something. Which means she'll get super far in the competition without having much skill.

I almost watched Master Chef last night, but then I found Poltergeist on WGN and stuck with that.

I watched a TC:M repeat from the first season and I just love Rick Bayliss (and Hubert Keller) SO SO MUCH. Chiarello was not so much of an ass as I remembered him- in this ep anyway, the one with Zooey Deschanel and the tribe of misunderstood vegans.

Rick Bayliss
He was awesome. He seemed so even-keeled despite his reputation for exacting authenticity.

I went back and forth on Chiarello. He was kind of a dick, but about stuff that made sense, like when he made the sous chefs do stuff in the kitchen. He didn't know the people, so it kind of made sense. Although at the time, it seemed dickish.
