My wife actually has to turn away from the TV when they show him eating, she finds it that disturbing.

Honestly, if I was at all confident in my ability to win the show, that's exactly what I would do.  If you save the people that deserve and participate in the challenge yourself, you ingratiate yourself to the other contestants and the judges.  It's still early in the contest, so odds are good that there will be a…

It didn't really register with me I guess.  I was just reveling in the toned down Natasha presence this week.  Now if only Krissy could get a similar treatment next week…

I couldn't believe those cupcakes didn't get her sent home.  They looked like the shittiest "crappy mom half-assing her kid's birthday party" cupcakes I'd ever seen.

I didn't read a lot of Trek books as a kid, mostly stuck to the Star Wars EU, but I think I actually read Vendetta.

@avclub-ee5bfdf797c80ececac6473cf1e8407d:disqus How DS9-heavy would an all-time, all-series top recurring character list be?

sadly, they're slowly becoming the same thing :(

I'm inclined to believe that he's not really an asshole and, like he claimed, was just in the midst of a total mental meltdown all episode.

It seemed like even Ramsay was starting to lose track of what he was saying and had to quickly, awkwardly wrap it up.
