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

Blayne's tan still annoys me more than Suede, though. Although his mocking Stella's leather fetish was pretty funny in the last episode.

That tan is obnoxious. I mean really. Also? They need to stop trying to recast Christian.

Awwwwwwww, sorry, quester. I'm bummed, too. I really wanted it to be the other way around for both of 'em.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Also? They need to stop trying to recast Christian.

Amen. Love him or want to strangle him, there was always a sense that Christian was pretty much just like that. I never felt that it was a put-on for the cameras.

I don't know that they were trying to recast Christian, but showing his uniqueness. I think that Suede and Blayne have affectations to make the "Characters"

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

Vortex, I don't mean "recast" as in giving a different shape, I mean literally placing a person who is Christian-like on the new season. Blayne is trying way too hard with his word inventions, and tone of voice and affectations and I'm sure that was all there during casting.

Art Crawl!!!

I watched the first episode of Long Way Down this morning. Ah, I hope that Ewan and Charlie make many more crazy motorcycle trips because I love watching their show so much. I think that Fox Reality was previewing it last night because it's on at it's regular time too. (Saturday at 8 pm central.)

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

Anybody else catch Food Detectives yet? I like Ted Allen in other contexts, but it was like he was trying way, WAY too hard to be Alton Brown, to considerably lesser effect.

Any chance that FN is trying to force out Alton (or at least Good Eats) the way they have other stars/shows that got to pricey?

I thought it was okay but as you said Ted was trying to hard. I have no idea if they're trying to force out Alton Brown.
