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.)
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Anne Burrell, Mario Batali’s sous chef on Iron Chef America is getting her own show on the Food network, called Secrets of a Restaurant Chef.
I went by the restaurant where Jennifer from The Next Food Network Star works. We didn’t eat there (although I have eaten there before), but there was a big sign with her picture on it in the window encouraging people to watch the show.

I'm not sure that having Jen there is a plus.
But I bet Anne Burrell's show will be good.
