It drives me nuts when these shows try to pump up the drama that way. (Pea puree anyone?) If MC was batmouthing Ivy, they should have had it on camera. If the peas were stolen, ditto. If that shit is really happening, show it. Otherwise, let it go. This is not why we're watching these shows. It's not BB or the fucking Bachelor.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Amen, brenda. If I wanted all of the personality drama and camera fucking, I'd be watching Real Housewives.

If that shit is really happening, show it.
Definitely. If it's an editorial choice not to, I don't get it.

Did you guys catch this week's No Reservations? Ripert and Bourdain in Paris!
ION, looks like this week isn't it for this season of Top Chef - apparently, it's only part 1 of the finale. Sigh.

Oh! I saw Ed and Richard Blaise as Cat Cora's sous chefs in an Iron Chef I saw over the weekend. Battle Oat, I think.

I saw that! Well, the first half. We still have to watch the judging. Which I should do when Top Chef is over, come to think of it.
