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

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.

You mean in two weeks - the next new one is January 7th.

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.

Exactly! Hosea had the right idea, but there aren't that many one-pot meals to make, honestly, aside from stews or soups, are there? Plus, 45 minutes was just stupid.

I thought Ariane's eggs fit the challenge precisely. She had immunity, so why not?

Yeah, I can't believe they let Arianne and the others get away with that. At least not for the win.

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 what about the "vichy-SWA"?? Total pet peeve.

The one-pot thing annoyed me no end. I realize that these people are not home cooks, but COME THE FUCK ON. How do you not know what a one-pot meal is??

And for Ariane to have won by (basically) ignoring the challenge...bah humbug.

I hope they take Tom's chat to heart and step it up in the next few weeks. The level of cooking so far this season has not been good.

I did love Fabio's Top Scallops jab. Hee.

I was noting that Jamie is always using scallops. I love them, but jeez!
