The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am so glad that Carla is still there. Sad for Angelo, but at least he went out classy.

C IS FOR COOKIE

Is it just me, or does Mike continue to be a misogynistic ass, even while he is being sad for Angelo?

Because books.

Definitely not the only one.

I really loved how absolutely delighted every left cheftestant was during the Quickfire. So much fun.

Also, Ming's remark about "iron" chef was awesome. He's a cutiehead dork!

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

The "iron" chef comment was hysterical! I groaned at how bad it was and laughed immediately after!

Mike is an ass. He can't get off my screen fast enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, the Muppets were excellent.

I was going to say that every elimination from here out will someone who should probably make it to the final, but I forgot about Mike Isabella.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I remembered how much I disliked Mike during his original season.

Art Crawl!!!

Mike is an idiot.

Also: everyone was so punchy. Thus the bad jokiness. Loved it.

And the muppets! How could cooking for muppets be anything but a win?!!??

I loved Cookie Monster eating the tablecloth because the scents of cookies were just driving him batty!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The muppets were adorable (as were all the chef's reactions). I couldn't help but think about the mechanics of the tasting, though.

I was thinking about that while watching. I figure that the muppeteers got to eat the cookies first, and then they filmed the bits with the Muppets going to each chef's station and "tasting" them with Padma.

So worried that Carla would end up going home, whew! Angelo's exit was classy. As much as I didn't like him during his season, compared to Mike I, he's almost likable.

The muppets were fan.tast.ic! The muppeteers are master ad lib-ers. Cookie Monster has always been my favorite and I loved that without the confines of Sesame Street he was able to eat cookies again (and got to say YUK to Elmo's zucchini cookie request). The dissing of Richard's cookies as not-cookies was hilarious.

I cracked up at Bourdain's going straight to parent-teacher conferences from Judge's Table.
