I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

When even Marcus at the reunion made a dig about her crying so much,

Well, I think Marcus is kinda a sore loser jerk so it was no surprise to me that he'd be on the high school clique party line. Ugh, Marcus.

I don't know, he looked horrified at Corinne's speech at tribal. If it's true she was crying all the time, I wonder if they resent the editors for not really showing that. I can't remember much of Sugar being emotional (as opposed to say, Crystal). And I think I would have noticed because whenever they get emotional I get eyerolly and start wondering if any of them have ever been away from home before.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Top Chef:

true, but I think that he was rubbed the wrong way by Stefan.

Yeah, that's true. And it seems like he's getting a bad reaction from several of the other contestants, so it might not be Eugene's problem. It's kinda like the Christian thing, where he comes off one way to the viewers, but clearly another way to people in person. Except, in the negative this time.

I'm a reality tv grudge holder, though!

Me too, my sistah! I am the worst snap-judgement grudge holder when it comes to reality tv. I know it's not fair or realistic, but I totally am!

No. No. It's entirely well named. Sorry, but they are puke-worthy.

Because books.

Aw, I love deviled eggs. But yeah, not a winning dish by any measure.

Tom is Santa Claus! A pissed off, disappointed Santa Claus, but still.

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

No. No. It's entirely well named. Sorry, but they are puke-worthy.

Shun the unbeliever ... Shun! Shun!

Tom is Santa Claus! A pissed off, disappointed Santa Claus, but still.

Bwah!

Art Crawl!!!

Hee to Tom as SC and to the Deviled Eggs.

I was very happy with the people who wound up in the top 4. Loved the teamwork to get Radhika and Hosea back in the game.

Fabio is so disappointing. I thought that Gene and Jamie were better than they were and I was AMAZED that Carla didn't wind up in the bottom 4. (But by the time we got there I had forgotten about Jamie's slimey scallop dish.)

(Loved Fabio's comment about her in the promo for the next new episode.)

That KILLED me because I had just gotten finished explaining to a friend (who I watched with via IM) about how Leanne is always complaining about the cheftestents obsession with scallops!
