I can't hate Kevin because I fall asleep every time he's onscreen.
Heh. All I can hear is him being full of himself. As opposed to Kelly who apparently talks in dog-whistle tones, because I can't remember a thing she has ever said.
Actually, not entirely true - her astronaut geekiness tonight was endearing.
I don't care who wins now and may not bother watching the finale.
I totally thought Kevin was getting the loser edit. Sigh.
How right I wish you'd been.
I will say, if Tiffany isn't fan favorite this year, I'm going to be mighty pissed.
I don't care who wins now and may not bother watching the finale.
OMG. How right you are. This is straight up bullshit.
I don't think I am going to watch. fuck it.
This is straight up bullshit.
You serve Eric Ripert a seafood dish he has problems with, I expect consequences. The fact that it was one of the only dishes that Bourdain had issues with kinda sealed the deal that Tiffany was toast. She had a bad night, and that alway kills with this show, so no matter how much I am meh on the other contestants, I don't think there was anything hinky about this.
Still, I bet Tom C must be seething that Angelo won with that ginger in the dish though.
(shrug) I still think it is bullshit. Ripert was mr. grumpy man - he didn't like Ed's dish all that much either, right and Bourdain argued with him.
This was a bad season, and this right here is the cherry on the sundae. I'm out.
I don't doubt that Tiffany's dish was the worst of the bunch that night - she knew it wasn't the dish she'd originally planned, and last-minute fixes are risky at this late stage in the game. BUT STILL.
Rotten luck for her to have a bad night when everyone else had a good one.
Sucks about Tiffany but you could see it was going that way.
Bourdain was thinking what I've been thinking - what the fuck crawled up Ripert's ass? The past couple of weeks it's been all "it's too complicated, too messy, too hard to eat." All pissy and negative and almost none of it about the food.
I would definitely pull for Angelo ahead of Kevin at this point. But did anyone catch last week that he's only met the fiance twice? Total mail-order.
