Adrien
I was hoping Adrien would pull it out but I knew his dessert was the nail in his coffin. The judges almost always go for "uninteresting" over "risky failure" which I sort of disagree with.

Close…
My picks from the first episode for top 5 and top 3:

Sans boxing gloves this week.

To sum it up a bit more quickly: Debbie has always been a huge needy bitch, and while it is a great thing that she got sober that doesn't make her lose those traits. I feel like that is the direction things are headed anyways.

I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT IT.

I think it had a lot of great moments. I loved all of the Seinfeld touches and I loved Gervais's acting but I just didn't feel it come together as a whole.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?
What was with that weird fog/lamp outro? So damn cheesy.

Yeah, from what we have been shown the only member of the coven to have any real power was Marnie. The rest of them were just new-agers trying to get in on the action.

Meh.
I have been loving this season so far and while I didn't love the episode it was decidedly mediocre.

Black Comedy
You mean like Dr. Strangelove? I should check this out.

Am I getting the wrong Josh Malina when I google or are you all crazy?

Joe Rogan's podcast isn't mentioned because it's a piece of shit.

Doug Loves Movies
Was so hilarious but I can never help but feeling so bad for the guests that get left at the sidelines. Fleischer has been on before and he was on CBB this week. We know he has at least some things to say. I really don't think he said a word unless Doug directly asked him a question.

Yeah, I read something where someone said this isn't actually even based off the events but somewhat based off of that Wired article. And even then, only very loosely.

I guess someone asked him why he didn't have a "little red dot" at one of his shows the other night, which he wasn't a big fan of.

"He does need our support."
"Tom."
"I'm talking about a bra for a maaaan."

I was glad…
I was glad they really gave Neal and Peter the whole episode. The guy they were staking out only got maybe three lines, which is the way it should be. The biggest flaw in the last few episodes has been that while the tension has built in the Neal/Peter story there has always been some quirky b-character

I think that is the point of the masterchef thing. If you can afford it, there is no other qualification needed.

There was a moment in Monday's episode while Tracy was murdering the dead salmon that they panned up to Ben's face. He looked absolutely solemn and serious and still had his huge green hat on.

Ha.
"He expressed concern that, if he screwed up a venison dish, he'd be allowed back into Texas."
