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

yeah, I think Nick has said some unfortunate things since he won, but I liked S1 generally. I must admit, I think there is something about Nick though because we haven't seen him on the show very much at all while other dancers from that season have assisted choreographers, etc.

I have no hate on for Lauren Sanchez. And she could dance!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sean, I'm watching it right now, and adorkable is definitely the right word.

ETA: OMG, the salt!

Yeah, S and I were a leeeetle bit alarmed at the amount of salt Chef Anne was throwing in her food.

I know that restaurants use a lot of salt, but it was still scary to see it. At least I know why I am always so thirsty and achy after I eat restaurant food. I'm very sensitive to too much salt.

Still, I might want to try to make bolognese the way she did, only with much less salt.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I've heard that he just turned into a divo bitch AND he talked a ton of shit about the show, and Benji in particular, during S2. Seems he and Travis were friends and he made it known that he thought Travis should've won. Unfortunate. Kinda like Tyra and Adrian from S1 ANTM.

Design Star: "I want my mom." That was some pitiful shit right there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, Food Network Star was kind of a trainwreck tonight. I feel bad Aaron wasn't on last season -- FN has black people now! (Not that he was eliminated -- yet.)

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

I haven't watched yet, but I think this is the worst crop of NFNS contestants they've ever had. It's the first season I can remember where I'm not rooting for anyone.

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

Well, I'm not sure if it is the contestant pool OR the whacked out challenges. I mean, WTF? Make a dish that normally takes 48 hours in 45 minutes?

None of the challenges have been designed to help the contestants shine. It is telling that nearly every "winner" is the person who sucked the least.
