  1. I'm surprised Eric went so early, but you cannot have a bad day when the one of the bottom three has immunity and the other has compromising photos of Tom.  I rooted for Voltaggio in his other two seasons, but find him frustrating to watch this go 'round.  He seems to have a stubborn case of the Brothers...making great food while ignoring the challenge requirements. 

    I'm really hoping for a Kevin / Gregory / Melissa final.  Unless Bryan suddenly wakes up and realizes that merely cooking good food isn't enough, I don't see how anyone else has a chance, barring an uncharacteristic bad day.

    Cmon man, I specifically said someone that’s in Oakland now and that’s Maleik Collins.

    He did go to Oakland right?

    Preview did mention it. But maybe just looking ahead if lck is coming back?  I haven’t watched it yet. 

    The show ended with Tom saying that the next LCK was starting immediately, and that the winner would re-enter the main competition.  The preview I saw showed everyone using a machete in place of a knife.  That was likely the QF challenge, which they don't do during RWs week.

    Not sure why all the hate. Aside from malarkey and Leann not going home again, I was happy with the outcome. 
     

    Overall this is not seeming like the same level as the last All Stars though. Restaurant Wars is next. 

    Not so fast.  The LCK winner will be coming back, which means there will be 9, not 8.  Previews did not mention RWs either.   

  5. I did not enjoy seeing Tony win his season, and I would definitely not want to see him win again, but he certainly made a strong case that he is a top contender.  It's true that he may have made his move too early.  It is also true that he has an idol in his pocket as well as an ability to win challenges, especially when they are mostly physical.  I also expect him to have picked up on Sophie's "I had an idol in my pocket" comment, and will be out looking for a new one.  

    Speaking of Sophie's idol, do we know if it loses it's power once she goes to extinction?  I'm sure this has been covered, but don't recall.

    Was Nat going to keep those 6 tokens, split them with Parv, or spend them on something for the group to share?  Seems we never get to see them spend the tokens, other than when Tyson bought peanut butter.

    Dynamic tribal sucks. What did Jeremy and Sarah have going on? I can’t remember. Did one of them have an advantage?

    They both had advantages.  Jeremy had the "immunity but have to leave tribal without voting" advantage.  Sarah had the "steal a vote."

  7. I have not been a fan of Jenn in the past due to her attitude, but she seems to have finally grown out of that.  I would have much rather seen Malarkey go.  I still think Steph is a better chef than she is showing, but she cooks scared, and that is not going to keep her around long.

    When it first happened, I contacted the city and was told it's against the law to burn pressure treated wood outside, but not inside.  WTF?

    WTF is right.  Because the smoke from burning this shit is going to stay in the house?

    Adam trying to play the podium was the right move. Relying on that as anything other than a total Hail Mary, not so much. But his logic that it could be an idol was sound.

    I definitely agree with this. 

  10. Other than the amusement of watching Adam try to play Jeff's podium as an immunity idol, last night was a fairly meh episode.  So did Mchele buy the 50/50 idol or not, and if so, did Parvarti buy peanut butter for everyone?  Did my mind wander at the critical moment, or did they leave us hanging?

    It's difficult to tell what alliances, if any, truly exist right now.  Everyone seems to be in "keep the target off of me" mode.  Any resume building is either not being aired to keep us guessing about the eventual winner, or people are too afraid to make any big moves yet because they know they will get voted out.  Again referencing last season, all you need to win is a strong last few days.

    The producers/editors have chosen to include Michelle saying at least three times (I think) she’s been knocked for being an undeserving winner, so I could see that flipped and she wins the biggest season of all. And no Mizzou/Bosco, I’m not saying this is producer game manipulation, but weaving a storyline in editing.

    Speaking of announcing a winner, that could be pretty tricky. May be done on an almost empty soundstage, with however many people in attendance sitting several feet from each other. Hell, get the jury back in a giant ass Zoom array.

    There was a time when editing and story lines were good indicators of who the eventual winners were going to be, or at least who would go far.  I think they do a better job of mixing it up these days.  See last season as exhibit A.

    Going by what we've seen to date, I'd put my money one one of Sophie/Sarah/Michele being the winner.

    Michele won't win.  Wendell will cast the deciding vote for someone else...and then we'll find out that they briefly got back together before he kicked her to the curb again.

    That was disappointing, I guess.  I kind of figured the producers were going out of their way to show Michelle as subservient, only to have her be the reason Wendell got booted at some point in the future.  I suppose not.  

    Kind of odd that Tyson wasn't even thought of as an option.

    Yeah, it would have been nice to find out that Michelle was just pretending to be a doormat.  Oh well. 

    It looks like Jeremy isn't as in control as he'd like to be, but he gets points for realizing that trying too hard to save Wendell wasn't worth increasing the target on his own back.  It wasn't clear who actually engineered the vote, though it appeared that it may have been Sarah.  The women continue to dominate the action. 

    I thought Rob was going to end up winning the EoE challenge.  So glad he didn't.  Maybe we can have a few episodes without him.

    no, i said that he overthrew multiple open WRs that game, which he did. you girls just love to infer shit that isn't there and then get upset about it.

    i hate stuff like this. "according to the numbers" he's an "all time great QB at Texas." Yeah for sure! I mean have you seen his passing numbers compared to Bobby Layne and James Street? LEGENDARY. 🙄 

    You don't become an all time great at your school by virtue of being born later than previous QBs and playing in an era where teams gaining 500 yards and scoring 50 points happens on a weekly basis. you earn it on the field. Sam has been very good at times, and has led us to some big wins, but he's also been quite poor and erratic at times, and yes that includes the last game he played in when he sailed passes to wide open receivers several times. Sam will have his chance to become an all-time great this season, but to just point at the numbers and call him an all time great is lazy and full of recency bias. 

     

    I happen to agree with your recency bias take, but you claiming bad inference on what you wrote is you choosing to ignore what you wrote.  The "at times" disclaimer does not earn you a pass.

    Wrong.  They are easy to confuse though, because they're both overrated pasty-white squint-eyed bitches.  

    Yeah.  I know.  The moose out front told me.  I vaguely recall even knowing this at one time, but all this yelling at clouds to stay off my lawn takes a toll.  I was also led astray by Reneé's wikipedia page, but I should know better.  You'll be dazed and confused eventually too.

    I met Renee Zellweger when I was recording demos for her boyfriend's band (Pariah).  She never mentioned D&C.  I guess she thought it was gonna be a complete bomb.  She was pretty excited about Texas Chainsaw Massacre at the time -- when I finally saw D&C I was surprised to see her on screen.

    My guess is that Reneé didn't mention Dazed and Confused because she wasn't in it.  You likely have her confused with Joey Lauren Adams.  It's a common mistake.

  17. I've never liked Angelo.  He has always come across as a pretender to me.  I was expecting to hear Steph's name called instead, but was glad it went the other way.  If Malarkey, Lee Anne, and Lisa went next, it would not hurt my feelings.

    She's got an odd look.  Part of the time, she looks hot as shit.  Then there are times where she just looks crazy and unattractive.  Hell, Wendell was patronizing her during tribal and she still barely flinched.
