I could imagine Varys going I CAN GET LOUD TOO WHAT THE FUCK

Are people really enjoying the battle-of-the-sexes theme of Top Chef Canada's season 4? Kind of hokey, I think - focusing on interpersonal relationships is Top Chef's greatest weakness (since they are bad at it).

Slings and Arrows, hands-down, especially the first season's intro. It's so damn… happy. And it pretty much shows that despite the notion that theater people are too ~serious~, they do know how to poke fun at themselves.

It's one of those long-term strategies that would only pan out post-merge, I think. It's still a pretty clear decision to keep Jeremiah at this point in the game over Alexis to bolster their chances in challenges. But I think he'll probably be the first boot post-merge because he's a target (probably due to Tony's…

It's sort of obligatory now at this point, I think, to mention her boobs when a new recap's available. Kind of like a Pavlovian thing, only with boobs.

I really was vacillating between "G*ddamnit, LJ, play your immunity idol, you beautiful man!" and "Holy crap I might have looked over something if he's not playing the idol and he's that confident with Trish and Tony" before the last vote was read. My God, what a fun tribal. Cliff would've loved it, had he not gone…

I know it's childish and all, but Spencer, LJ, and one of the hot girls (I'd like to say the blond one) hitting their groins in the posts has got to be the funniest things so far this season. And Jeff trying not to say "groin" or "crotch" and saying "that region" (or something like that) is pretty hilarious.

When reality competition show contestants (especially the ones from the trashy ones) say "I'm not here to make friends" (or some variation of that). Does that count?

I think the only "hot" one in the Beauty tribe is Jeremiah, really. I think the rest of the girls of that tribe could easily be mistaken for Bachelor contestants.

Man, Shereen Arazm is FANTASTIC. I remember the menu pricing challenge of season 3 (the one with the silly auction) which she judged, probably my second favorite Quickfire challenge after the mise en place relay race. It just seemed like a "why didn't the original Top Chef think of that" type of Quickfire challenge.…

Apart from the odd way he was pronouncing "Cecily" it was a pretty meh interview.

I kind of chuckled when Padma went all "that's Basic Cooking 101" on Nick's dish. Apart from the rice comment in the Eddie Huang episode this has probably been Padma's most helpful critique all season.

If someone photoshops that third photo into Cumberbatch on the receiving end of things Tumblr might break the internet

That's exactly what NBC did to 'Siberia'.

THE WHOLE WORLD WILL (literally) BE WATCHING THIS NEXT MONTH

It was an okay episode, no real standout sketches. I'm glad that it was a Strong-centric episode, though, and I'm glad to see Jebidiah Atkinson again.

The last scene where Birgitte and Katrine were in the car, then the latter points at Christiansborg and says something to the effect of "nice place to work, huh?" and the former replies something like "it's like a second home" got me. Despite this season being hit-and-miss, quality-wise, that scene kind of nailed what…

Thanks! ^_^ I am kind of disappointed that they haven't shown any #SurvivorBreakdowns this season.

It has been a little Christmastime tradition of mine to ugly-cry while watching this film. IDGAF I love this film.

But Radhika was also the leader of her Restaurant Wars team, so technically she's both?
