I wonder if everyone thought she'd be sent home before now and so they tried to get maximum impact from her quotes.
The editors know in advance who's going home when up through the finals (because the show is filmed up to that point months in advance). So they can pretty easily give Carla the Crazy Edit in the beginning and gradually transition into the Pulling Herself Together edit over time.

Ah. I wasn't sure how far ahead they were. I know there's a break before the finals, but I wasn't sure how long.
I also love that Carla's "made with love" stuff that got tempered down as she went actually turned up in results at the judging table. They commented on the care she put into her food, as well as on "soul" both of which are the ineffable elements that come up about this time in the season.
And it's something that Stefan lacks. So I really hope that Carla can pull it out in the end.
And I know, right, about Gail? I was grinning and waving at Gail on my teevee just about the same way Carla was grinning and waving at her in realtime.
I just hated that Toby hack.
That's the same Toby Young that Simon Pegg played in that movie with Kirsten Dunst that got awful reviews a few months back, isn't it?
Nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is, and still too clever by a half.

Yes, which I didn't realize until about 30 minutes into the film, at which point everything about him on TC clicked into place.
Anybody watch ABDC tonight? Man, Beat Freaks are just pwning everybody. They're flat amazing.
Sad, but not all that surprised to see
Strikers go. I just felt bad for Mike? because he was so heartbroken at having made the error that probably cost them the round. But they probably wouldn't have been at the top
in the end anyway. So there's that.
Survivor--Interesting tribal council. Looks like
Coach got everyone to vote for Candice.
How skeevy was he with Erin? "Give me a kiss." Really? REALLY?!
Survivor: The whole
hidden idol thing is driving me bonkers. I'm assuming the exile island note is referring to the same one as the original one these two losers can't seem to find the clues for. I had high hopes when Sierra brought Brendan in, but, alas.
Regarding tribal: It was clear
either Coach or Candace were creating conflict and one was going to go. My theory? Candace fell victim to the Survivor lawyer syndrome: "I'm a lawyer--I can rationally convince these people of my plan". On the other hand, "Coach" (God I hate that), as a coach and symphony conductor, actually has to lead people on a regular basis, and he did just that.

I'm not sure - Sierra told whoever it was that the idol she knew about could only be used at the first TC. I didn't remember that from last week though - if that's true, then it must be a different idol. If it's not true and she made it up, then it was probably a clever move since if they'd found it, the two of them wouldn't end up fighting over it since she was the only one of them likely to be at risk.
