I think Luke was coming from the angle of "don't go for the needle-in-a-haystack detour, because it could take forever to find it," like the pizza brother back in TAR5 who couldn't find the right chocolate filling and was stuck at the factory for hours.

The pie throwers, though, had a lot fewer pies to get through, so he was a bit off on that call, and Segways can be difficult to learn to ride properly.

That was a fun ep! Mel White always makes me happy -- and I loved how they were like, Segway! Totally our thing!

I was glad that couple was out, because she clearly couldn't take much more. I felt terrible for her that she was so scared of her husband's reaction to her getting lost, because he was really not mad. It did make me wonder about their relationship/her history.

Oh, and I thought the contrast between Luke and mom and the lawyer siblings was interesting: the sister basically ceded final decision-making to her big brother, and seemed fine with it, while Luke could not stop rolling his eyes about his mother's decision, but still went along with it.

I didn't watch the ep, but just read the recap on cbs. I pegged Luke as full of drama from ep 1, so that will not really surprise me.

sumi,

thank you for the RS link. I knew JD was bad news, and that interview segment sure brings the crazeeeee.

BTW, so I'm watching TAR today. I was traveling on Sunday and this was my opportunity to watch it online. I watch it on CBS and things are going along just fine until the last 5 minutes when the video restarts from the beginning.

So I have to go back and resize my browser and restart the video. As I'm doing this, I notice the video on the bottom of the page (I had not noticed it before) advertising the losing couple's interview online.

WTF CBS? Do you really need that kind of spoiler on the episode page?

I had that problem with the premiere -- the page where I found the episode had the exit interview right next to it.

Anyone have any idea what the deal is with a Top Chef reunion? Shouldn't that be running tonight? I'm so confused -- they've never done it *after* the finale before, but they are doing the fan favorite thing, right?

Also, someone on my friends list said she spotted Arianne as a sous chef for the competitor on Iron Chef America last episode. Anyone else see it?

And what's going to happen with AI tonight? I assume they preempted the competition last night due to Obama's speech, but when will they run the results, if they're having the competition tonight?

I'm full of questions today, apparently.

I haven't watched it yet, but it's on my TiVo so I can check.
