I happened to see an ep of NFNS, and I think that they all suck. The cooking was dreadful (I saw the ep where they had to reinvent a long dish in 45 minutes), and I couldn't believe how bad they all were. And someone was going to get into Bon Appetit with that? FAIL.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

NFNS: Shane (and Kelsey) need to get out there and work in restaurants or something.

Yeah, what was that thing Shane said about needing to figure out what to do with his life now? Gee, how about COOK????

Bananas.

Exactly! He can do stages at restaurants in France and discover what France is really like.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That was a particularly bad one, Vortex, but it's not a good group at all.

It's on Travel Channel. First one was in Laos. I don't know what the repeat schedule is like - i.e., I know that they repeat lots but don't know if they'll do this after the whole run or in the week before the next new one.

Dear lord, I am an unkind person because I SO wanted a long, lingering shot of Jen's reaction when Christina came through the door as the winner on Hell's Kitchen. I was practically screaming at my TV for it.

No shit. That was a serious missed opportunity.
