@avclub-19b1b73d63d4c9ea79f8ca57e9d67095:disqus , it's only bogus to you because Nyesha didn't win. How is this any more bogus than any other challenge on Top Chef?

"TOM is a meatball this season."

@avclub-fd618c6be7327c1e01499f3f758fc26c:disqus , IIRC it was low-fat (don't think there were numerical restrictions on this) and 500 calories or fewer for the whole meal (an entree, a side, and a dessert).

This season is gonna be fun:

- three plus-sized queens (one of whom is the requisite Asian queen, this time giving pinay fish)
- one genderfuck queen
- one what-the-fuck queen (Sharon Needles, Leanne's queen from the PR drag queen challenge)
- the queen who played Cherry Peck on Nip/Tuck
- a bitchy, short version of Yara…

Claire, I think it would be much less entertaining with other people joining in. There's this awesome I'm-so-lonely-and-frustrated-talking-to-myself-about-this-show-that-is-in-and-of-itself-not-worth-talking-about vibe about it. I also enjoy your unfiltered incredulousness at some of the stupidity that is the bread…

@JRoxy13, just rewatched the first part, and there was yet another ingredient in that initial box: cinnamon.

What about Ed? He seems like both a good chef and a good person (like Grayson and Paul). I like Bev, too, but I understand the dislike.

The thing you're forgetting from the first round is pine nuts.

To be fair, it was Splenda and not sugar. As much as I hated Betty for how much of a witch she was to Marcel (and for her insistence in the color challenge that her dish was really green and therefore she deserved to win), she didn't technically add extra calories. It was Sam "I'm not that guy" Talbot who brought it…

Ahhhh! There are bees in my mouth! Why did I choose this brand of gum?!

Tom announced in this week's Last Chance Kitchen that the person who wins next week will enter back into the main competition.

C'mon, Margaret. You left out the best part of the episode: Grayson's calling out of Tom's bullshit when he said Grayson's starting point, the chicken salad, was unexciting compared to the other dishes. . . like meatballs. Clearly, Tom as an Italian-American just likes meatballs (and, granted, the meatballs looked…

Correction: Ron Swanson is not Jesus. He is God.

At least it's been established over the previous 5 episodes that he is, indeed, an idiot. And they're also young, which helps me excuse a lot when they make horrible decisions.

Ugh. Claire, it's "night" not "naught." Note the difference in vowel sounds. Normally, I think you're neat, but not tonight; your nutty spelling overpowered the net goodness of your review, sending me into a frenzy of picking nits and flicking phonetic gnats. Not even Newt Gingrich could spin your disastrous mistake.…

Cool, good to know. I guess I don't visit the Fringe comments section often enough.

Really? I can't tell if you're using the sarcasm font.

Apparently in the other universe, Manhattan is spelled with only one 't'.

Season 4 premieres in 1.5 weeks.

I highly doubt you stopped being horrendously bitchy after you finished writing that; you seem like a full-time bitch. But you're in good company here. No need to mellow your harshness.
