I'm vaguely ashamed ... Tuesday I went to NBC expecting L&O:SVU and got "Momma's Boys" ... and I watched. The whole thing.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Depends on how well Mommy's training took. If he agreed to appear on this kind of show with her, I'm not optimistic.

Aw, I love deviled eggs. But yeah, not a winning dish by any measure.
I don't know, at least they were more appropriate to the event. Also, they were apparently good and fit her theme well.
I really didn't love either challenge. A one-pot meal in 45 minutes? That makes no sense to me. And the fact that they thought one-pot meal meant that you could use the same pan multiple times makes me go to an Inigo Montoya place.
And if you're going to do 12 Days of Christmas? Do it when you have 12 chefs. And were they supposed to do a meal, a mini-meal, hors d'oeuvres, what? It really wasn't clear to me.
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!
We barely heard Fabio's comment because I was saying the exact same thing when I heard Jamie mention scallops. She needs to have a week doing something other than soup or scallops.

The challenge was super irritating to me. Which I guess it was to everyone involved since I guess next week is a no limits kind of challenge.

Momma's Boys - they showed a preview and while evil momma is being helicoptered over the resort, looking into a monitor, her baby boy is in a hot tub smooching the girl who was going after him (hormones overcoming training, I guess) and momma is having fits.
