well, for all we know she's in favor of forcibly sterilizing people (and, in some cases, I'd agree with her)
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

I doubt that, you know, 'cause of her strong anti-Nazi stance.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
NIPA'S GONE! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Her fish "fillet" was embarrassing. I mean, I'm not the greatest fillet-er in the world either, but give me a fucking break.

Art Crawl!!!
Oh, and her inability to act like an adult about having to touch fish. (And Kelsey was so right about how ridiculous it is to act that way in front of your judge, the Iron Chef.)

Totally. Suck it up and grab the fraking fish. You can freak out later.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
but what business does she have being on this show, in this competition with a "fish are icky" point of view? What.the.fuck?
I don't particularly want to touch and prepare eel (for instance), but I also don't want a fucking cooking show.
I know my limitations.

Because books.
That's what floored me -- even if your angle is Indian food, you need to be a pretty good basic cook all around, or you're going to fail. Nipa seemed to have no idea what she was doing aside from informing us that she "knows how to blend spices."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And there was something else in between, but what stands out for me is (1) canned curry powder and (b) cayenne+sugar.

Yup. Any spice you need blended with sugar, she's your man.

It was also telling that she said she was as passionate "about TV" as she was about cooking. Um, I'm passionate about TV, too. Doesn't mean I deserve a show.
