Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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

I certainly agree with her opinions on Toby Young.

People who don't know how to cook know how to make eggs Benedict. Whatever.

What a shame you don't even know how not to cook, eh Leah.

I think I'm in agreement with her about Toby. He always seems to be trying too hard to be witty and clever.

Still glad she's gone, though.

This. Tony Bourdain would at least be genuinely entertaining.

I keep hearing hints (possibly from you people, I forget) that Bourdain probably won't ever be back on the show. Did he burn that bridge, too?

That just makes him cooler, of course, I'd just rather have him than Toby.

I think I remember hearing something about Bourdain wanting too much money, but that could have been speculation on our part.

Because books.

Toby's main focus seems to be getting the snarkiest soundbite. Eh.

I would love to have Bourdain back. Hell, I'd love to have Ted back, at this point.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Looks like it could be a good season on Survivor. I can't believe Kathy didn't try to set up camp. Although I have to say that Kathy may be crazy, but Coach is a total dick (a renaissance dick. at that), which does not go over well usually.

You mean Sandy?

She's definitely getting the crazy edit - it's always hard to tell how much of that is based on reality, but from what I've seen so far I don't think I'd want to get on a bus she was driving.

Coach cracks me up with his samurai warrior delusions. I hope he doesn't get voted off too soon because he is HILARIOUS in his ginormous toolishness.
