I'm just tired of the manufactured drama with the chef that gets stuck with front of house.  Might as well just have a Quickfire with two winners, they get immunity/front of house duties, and then let the other chefs focus on the food.  Ed shouldn't be moving effing tables around on a cooking show, especially if…

Bev has that vibe where she'll wind up shooting herself in the foot coming up and lose to a lesser chef.  Although, once Sarah and maybe Grayson are out, the rest of the field is pretty strong.  Chris keeps throwing off a bumbling Blais thing though, he could wind up being next. 

Sarah has definitely taken the bitch baton from Heather.  Bev did the smart thing in Restaurant Wars (or most team challenges); she made sure her dish was great.  The duo of Grayson and Bev has replaced the broken-up duo of Ed and Ty-lor in my heart.

I'm looking forward to Andy Samberg's hilarious sweater vest this Saturday night

Yeah, Rogers has mentioned it before on the blog; that Nate is grooming Hardison for leadership, which is why he is harder on him.

I was impressed by his absolute certainty on Plinko physics.

New HIMYM, and Price is Right on Wednesday.  Good week for NPH.

She lost me with her insistence that she couldn't mesh Bev's Asian style with her "Farm to table" cooking.  Which I now declare to be the roadside couch of hipster cooking terms.  If there was a way for Heather's outburst to have harmed her without dragging Bev down in her wake, I'd have done a cartwheel.

Too bad the timing didn't work out, Brandon would fit right into this season of Dexter.

Why would he at least not tie Dexter's hands behind his back, LIKE HE DID TO BATISTA???  Oh god, my head.  The nosebleeds are starting. 

I think the man has earned the right to write some non-nerdy songs.  Plus anything Flans touches is gold.  A million stars.

Several funny bits, a singular storyline that at least had a beginning, middle, and end.  Not a bad episode.  Not a standout, but the bit with the Deaths ("Girl?" "Girl") cracked me up.  Good enough.

Not a lot of tension with the Indians, seeing as how we know how it all turns out.  I'm learning to enjoy this show more as a "slice of life" than expecting any major plot developments.  I mean, the railroad will get built, it continues to suck for blacks until the 60's, casinos, smart phones, etc.  Surprised nothing…

After this episode, I was relieved that the Simpsons haven't polluted the "go to the future" well.  Now I'm torn between wanting to happen more often, or taking the win and hoping they don't do a crap one next season.  Well done, Simpsons.

Definitely at least a recurring character, although I suppose it depends on her availability.  Her and Wil Wheaton should be regular guests though.

When Rogers first teased us with the concept of the "Boys'/Girls' Night Out Jobs", I was hoping for a little more intersecting.  On the other hand, Nate being Nate, it could turn out that he was more involved than we think.

Can't believe this wasn't more promoted (other than choppy clips tossed out by NBC).  #SSAAM

The only thing that could remotely salvage any of this season is for not-Coach to win, just to see the look on his face all through the reunion show.  However, for Coach to not win, that means one of the others would have to win, and other than Edna for the lulz, there's no one I'd really be happy with.  Albert and…

I'm really torn on this episode.  The hijinks were solid, but the con was a little meh.  Seems like the writers had a good idea with "How can they run a job while cameras are all over?", but then just gave up on thinking of clever ways for them to hide it, and just had them lapse into regular Leverage Mode.  Nate…

Yeah, the point was to get the kid to roll, not to teach any actual facts
