Shut up, Tom Colicchio, a deviled egg is God's own deviled food!

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.)

(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!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm vaguely ashamed ... Tuesday I went to NBC expecting L&O:SVU and got "Momma's Boys" ... and I watched. The whole thing.

Is that the one where they feature the usual reality show stripperesque fame-whores and the overbearing mothers determined to ensure that their sons never, ever get laid?

Well, a fair number of the girls are bleached-blonde airheads, but there are some intelligent ones. One nice girl from Spokane who works in an animal shelter - totally out of type - she refers to her glasses as "nerd goggles". Another one describes herself as having "cantalope-sized stainless steel balls". The mothers ... one's very nice, the other the stereotypical Jewish mother (he's her baby and he's wonderful and any girl will love him) and the third is a cast-iron bigoted bitch (openly declared she wouldn't accept anyone black, Asian, Jewish, Muslim, from a divorced family, too tall, too fat, too outspoken). The girl with the balls? she's going after the son of the bitch.

Todd, why do I get the feeling that this may not be the final time that you watch this show?

Hmm, that sounds promising. Maybe they'll wound each other severely enough in the confrontation that the guy can escape and find someone reasonable.
