The reviewer used the words "tense" and "thrilling" in his descriptions of the two zombie attacks.  I couldn't agree less, and this is one of my hugest problems with this series.  I'm not remotely thrilled, nor do I feel the slightest tension, when watching any of the zombie scenes as it is patently clear that none of…

Forgot to say *Happy Birthday* to you.  Hope it was loads of laughs!  :-)  

As are her extreeeeemely pearly whites!

Yeah, those socks!!  On those Steinwayish gams.

Right; Coach labels himself Zeus, The Clam Slayer.

I can't remember a girl cracking up at the las vegas museum…but was that jen carroll's season?  That would make sense.  They also seem to have tweaked the "chefexit" walking the plank bit; last night they filmed keith's long walk down the hall after he got the boot, a la Chopped, as opposed to our last sighting of the…

Thanks for the clarification.  What I missed, completely, was that she WAS referencing a movie. Which is moot in any event because I'm not familiar with the movie.  And am now very depressed that padma is familiar with a movie that I don't know.  A movie that, according to wiki, has been AN INTERNET SENSATION.  *sob*

This makes sense.  I was very confused as to why, with FOUR HOURS of prep and the judges' historic *issues* with non-homemade products, both teams elected to buy their tortillas; it didn't even seem to come up in any conversations so there had to be a good reason for it.  Now I know what it is.  I think.

The tres leches girl with the hyena laugh is the heavy one with the longer hair (i seem to recall two heavy gals, one of whom was on the pink team, was semi-bossy with keith and has short hair).  The laughing girl has one of those nervous, forced, interminable types of laughter that sounds like a car that won't…

Yes, I noticed Edward's coke jaw as he sat on The Bubble in the stew room.  If it IS a coke thing he's either got quite a supply or he's being edited that way, since his jaw is never still, pore thang. Agreed that kelly's a tad bit too wired; someone here mentioned that she's seen crying in the previews, but I could…

Ya think??  I'm wondering if his crowing and harping about his ownership of redemption island is not just a clever setup by the producers, i.e., they almost HAVE to insert a RI challenge into the mix that involves a few grey cells.  And not just rippling muscles and beefy brawn.  I'm not remembering ozzy's being king…

Wow, Brandon has lost a shocking amount of weight, eh?  He still looks like k.d. lang, though.  Also, though I'm no prude by any stretch, I do have to say that the sight of whitney choking up as keith got the boot was borderline disgusting, IMO (in light of recent breaking news that she was boning him while her hubby…

Agreed; I thought his leaving was a shame since he did seem incredibly nice (when was the last time an incredibly nice person won any of these reality things?  Right.).  BUT.  Pre-cooked shrimp, oy.  I was hoping maybe one of the other chefs produced something even worse (and the fritter guy was ALmost there!) but…I…

Oooh, I didn't like blanca at all; she actually creeped me out a little.  She seemed as though she was 14-going-on-62, but it may be that I'm not used to the sight of a very young girl in a strapless ballgown who is being given the party of a lifetime, that's on TV, yet!, and somehow can't come up with too many nice…

Charming as it certainly was, did I somehow miss the REASON padma said "motherfuckin'" twice in one sentence?   I mean…enh? And I agree about hugh acheson. I really did love him in TC Masters (sort of; maybe "love" is putting it a bit strongly) but here his constant gumby-mugging is already wearing thin. He's also…

In total agreement that this does look like a crop of aunties, except for allison and certainly laura.  Laura looks (and acts) sometimes as though she's 11.  She's also my 2nd fave (after allison).  So what if she's too short and not rail thin?  I'd watch her hosting something on access hollywood a helluva lot more…

I've not spent a lot of time studying the world of modeling, but eek.  This crop of girls is just tough to figure out, at least for me.  I think lisa, angelea and dominique all read 30+, which is FINE…but as The Next Top Model?  Laura reminds me of the Seventeen Magazine cover girls from the 60s (Colleen Corby and Kim…

And yet The Killing remains.  Oddly enough, I hated this thing even more than I did The Killing, so there's that, I guess.

I didn't, but I do think she has a lovely name.

Oh, OK!!  I guess I misunderstood, which isn't too surprising since my confusion led to my disinterest in pursuing any research.  I'd thought the online offerings were JUST the contests between cheftestants who'd been chopped (as it were).  I'm definitely on board with the "real" show and will be watching through the…
