There was a kind of shocking (to me) commercial last night and since I FF through all of them I can't remember what the product was. Might have been a movie or a TV show.  Anyway, I had to back it up because one of the girls was just absolutely grayson's doppelganger, period.  Precisely the same hair, very similar…

I got that, too…and speaking of tall, jeez. Padma looked like a giraffe with extra long legs next to the guy judges, as she decanted her lemonade while waiting for the BEST EVER front of house person in TC history…

@wolfmans - clearly my using "each week" was hyperbolic maybe.  Should have said WHENEVER tom rips these guys a new one, which he certainly has and I don't recall the poiticulars, each takes it extremely hard.

Yeah, agree with all this.  It's irritating at this point to not have a better handle on how these guys actually cook…it's painful to watch paul and ed squirm as tom rips them new ones each week, but we can't really know if they're squirming because they really CAN do so much better and tonight was a fluke, or…they're…

I absolutely adore Grayson after tonight.  Even though intially her defense of Beverly seemed a bit lukewarm, she seemed to dig her heels in as the hour progressed and I LOVED it.  Jesus, those two bitches need such a smack in the puss followed by a swift kick in the ass.

I've only seen Nyesha cook on that other show that might be gone now…the one in which some restaurant looking for some press spends an hour "interviewing" two chefs for the the open TC slot in their kitchen.  (Right.)  Anyway, she was clearly the underdog and was portrayed as significantly less experienced than her…

He's not my least favorite by a long shot, but that's only because I detest Sarah with a quite unreasonable passion - and Lindsay only a little bit less so. Which is childish of me since my rabid hatred has little if anything to do with food. THAT said, I really did think chris would get the boot, though…in seasons…

"Restaurant Wars ordinarily provides us with our first viscous fight" - this has to be one of the first typos I've seen in a while that actually might even sort of work, given the context. Though I've seen gummier fights, as fights go.  Plus Ed spelled cocoa "COCAO" when he wrote it in big black magic marker letters…

As long as they were snarling.

I am so enamored of these AVClub writers that I assumed the "round a chefs" was a joke of some sort.

Second!  I'm trying to figure out what you could have possibly edited and ended up with this.

@mae - I tend to always love rollovers somehow, yet taken out of context they lose all their magic.  Videogum is great with these, particularly in their Breaking Bad recaps—-yet it doesn't seem remotely funny if you're not looking at the photo and the rollover text.  A shot of Walt with the word "teethface" written…

Fuckin' A.

@mae - you're absolutely right, and I did know that shows like AR and survivor (duh) and…those other ones…keep all of the eliminated players around so as to prevent the heartache of LEAKING THE BIG NEWS.  Don't know why it simply never occurred to me that this was done on TC (could it be that I tend to consider…

Thank you so much for not including Leah in that group.  (Hosea's Leah.)  argh; the quintessence of skank, imo. And yet…what do I know…

Almost forgot.  Another reason I REALLY didn't like sarah tonight is because she actually used the word "yonder" at Whole Foods.  Something about "is that our cart over yonder?" (sic).  Which I believe prompted Ed's rag on her arbitrary accents.

I've not been to the website even once to watch the redemption island thing so was surprised to see footage of heather the hippo (and many others) sitting in the bleachers providing color commentary as the battle is waged.  I mean…I guess they don't have to go back to their real lives?  Bravo feeds and houses all of…

Well, of course I remembered Casey but had to google the other two (and I am a MAJOR fan so am not sure what this means) - but jesus kee-rist!!!!  Even after viewing racy photos of camille I still cannot place her, period—-and not interested enough to hit wiki. Check out a site called karinandroul.com if you'd like to…

I'm fairly certain Grayson would be a pretty easy girl to "get with" if you're breathing.  And within reach.

Yeah, it looked purty danged good.  I've not eaten red meat in 15 years and tonight was…weird for me.  I'd have weakened, I think.
