That would have been good too.
Or, of course, blueberry things.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

SO also says the blue team should have done "blues" based food and made New Orleans based stuff.
I thought of that too and, while potentially verrrry yummy, I didn't know if Gayle would want to associate her wedding with the blues.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Did they say how much time the teams were given to brainstorm? Because I wonder if they just grabbed at the first idea anyone had because they thought they were strapped for time.
Still, I mean, you know Blue is going to be the last course. Blue cheese course, anyone? Blueberry tarts? I know nobody likes to make dessert, but COME ON.

Because books.
Blue cheese course, anyone?
That's what I was thinking. Even something like blue cheese scones, if you wanted to do a savory sort of last course.
Not that scones are wildly gourmet, but still.

Well, to be honest, she's so disturbing looking that I don't want to see her.

Vortex, are you the one who can't look at her straight on?

I really can't. I have to look at her out of the corner of my eye. I kind of want to figure out what it is about her that is so disturbing, but I can't look at her long enough to figure it out.

I am almost positive it is a combination of the severe bang cut and the bad hair color. It's like stripes on a bowl.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
At this point in the competition--like in every season of Top Chef--you can see where the clear competitors are, who will make it to the end if they can manage not to fuck up enormously. The only season I ever felt truly dissatisfied with the result was when not-Marcel won--neither of those dudes should have been the final two. Anyway, the narrative is shaping up with Jamie, Stephan, Fabio, and perhaps Leah if she pulls through. Wild cards--Jeff, possibly Ariane. I can more or less see everyone else getting cut unless they start pushing way harder and pull something really good.
I really liked the marinaded lamb over vadouvan carrot puree. It looked like something I would be eager to order at a restaurant.
