Oxford! University!

I had the same reaction, it was kind of obnoxious for Gail to say that maybe, if he had gone to college he would've known what to serve. He seemed pretty jovial during that exchange though, so I'd chalk the rudeness at least slightly up to editing.

Technology is cyclical!

What's Pivot?

A. It was a fantastic episode. It was dramatic and tied up storylines, while also being really, really funny.

I see what you're trying to say there, but everyone does eat, while not everyone can sing…so that logic doesn't exactly work. You're probably right about musicians as bad Top Chef judges though, however I think whenever they have vegan or vegetarian actress judge it's way worse (think Lea Michele or Natalie Portman).

Based on that photo, Padma had to run off to referee an elementary school soccer game after filming.

Prodigy! My parent's email address is still from Prodigy. I tried making a Gmail account for them, but they refuse to use it.

In terms of comedy, I think "Flu Season" is my favorite Parks episode.

And Virgil!

Wait. Dexter ends with him going to live on a lumberjack farm?? I'm glad I never tried to watch that show.

I don't think the season 1 finale was particularly reflective, but I definitely agree with you about season 2. Up until the CIA bombing it was a very low-key episode out in the woods.

I was convinced Nick was going to resign from the competition for most of the episode considering he wouldn't. stop. crying.

Poll Time: Who do you want to win?

I think it's hated so much because it is fairly innocuous, yet the actors inexplicably win Emmys and Golden Globes. Plus it gets MASSIVE ratings that kill all other Thursday night shows (ie. Community and Parks and Rec).

Yeah, and I heard that lead actor guy won an Emmy, so it must be good. Emmy voters always know what they're talking about.

Fakeeeeeee there's not enough typos for you to be real.

I'm going to New Orleans after Christmas, any must-eat, must-see suggestions? I'll add Cochon to the list.

Was that Lee Ann Wong? She's all over the Cooking Channel now, so I'm glad she's still doing well.
