I don't think Eugene has the sophistication to make it through Restaurant Wars, to be honest
You may be right there. I think that Eugene has a shitload of raw talent, he needs some guidance and seasoning to be really great.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And he already gets defensive, to his detriment. The thing that Stephan was critiquing about his meal turned out to be exactly what the judges were baffled by. If he hadn't shouted so much and had given it some thought instead, he might have walked away from that differently. There's standing by your work, and then there's developing that professional critical eye that lets you evaluate and improve on your work. It's something I try to teach in music that's very difficult.
But I hope he gets that guidance and seasoning, because there's something about him that I really like.

What do you guys think about Hosea? I think he may be in the mix, too.
ugh, I wanted to like him but I'm still pissed about him using canned crab in that one challenge when his original bad choice (crab that wasn't local to the east coast AT ALL) fell through.
Jeff I don't like after he was super condescending and frankly, I think, pretty sexist on the Today show challenge.

Anyone still care about Survivor? I was pretty shocked to see Sugar get no votes at all - I guess we really weren't given an accurate depiction of what she was like around camp.

I don't know- I think she knew the Onion Alliance wouldn't ever vote for her, and she screwed over Randy, Kenny, and Matty pretty spectacularly.

true, but I think that he was rubbed the wrong way by Stefan. If Carla had had some backbone and spoken up in the beginning, I think that he would have been receptive to the criticism.

Nora and Jess - I was just as shocked that Susie got any votes at all. Coattail riding usually does not get rewarded. If she had won...blech. But I had wanted Sugar to get more.
Who ended up with the Fan Favorite vote?

Yeah, that's what surprised me. I know Sugar pissed a lot of people off, but backstabbing usually gets rewarded more by the jury than coattail riding. I wasn't at all surprised that Bob won, but I thought for sure the non-Bob votes would go to Sugar.
Bob was the fan favorite, Sugar came in 2nd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jeff I don't like after he was super condescending and frankly, I think, pretty sexist on the Today show challenge.
I've decided he said those bad things after Kathy Lee spit out his dish -- even though they were played beforehand. Not much better, but a little mitigating, I think. It wasn't like they told him they were going to the Today Show, and his response was, "Ugh! Those women!"

I didn't follow Survivor as close this year as I have in the past, but ever final tribal gets me with all the hurt feelings and feelings of betrayal. I mean, come on - Outwit, Outplay, Outlast. If you get booted to the jury instead of feeling all butt-hurt over it, you should be Ahhh, ya got me before I could get you. Well done you.
