I did a big double-take after padma announced the winner and everyone was running around hugging and squealing…padma with paul, colicchio with sarah…and then the colicchio/sarah clutch just went on and on and I thought "whoa!!"  All I could see was the back of this big bald dented head that then dipped down into…

Lurking!!!  :)

You're right about tyler; I'd completely forgotten about that (I believe that was when sarah reverted to form and spoke to him a bit harshly). I guess my question is…so that hazelnut cake was sarah's??  Wow.  How odd that, given the dessert course is so consistently troublesome on this show, she'd not have utilized…

I was surprised to hear that, all season long, they cooked for ONLY 1600 people (per WWHL).  Or…1400?  Something like that.  I'd really thought that one of those challenges had them cooking for an army…as in…like 400.  In one challenge.  Must have been a nightmare.  On the other hand, how weird that Paul's guess…

YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!   Yippee for Paul!!!  Parts of tonight were SO strange from a production standpoint; I mean…are we sure Nyesha was even THERE in that kitchen/?  I truly believe she did not utter one word.  And since all sarah said about her was that she was "super at sauces" - did she make…some sauces???

DAG!

Quick question - I've just started watching this via netflix and am already hopelessly addicted; am only up to Season 1 Episode 6.  I don't know yet whether this is a crime of the week format or a combo of that with serialization, blahblahblah…will I be disappointed/confused/lost if I were to start watching current…

Also, maggie looks just like a very young shorter paula prentiss.

Agreed.  It was also incredibly unbelievable that shane never once said, to anybody - HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW???  I mean…if this is all just conjecture and gossip started by dale and blahblahblah…jeez if I'd killed someone and knew for a blessed FACT that no way no how was there any eyetwitness on god's green earth,…

To your #1 - Agreed!  And…am I watching way too much TV or has TWD not done this before?  The "starting an ep with a future scene"?  I mean…I know this is a Breaking Bad thing and it's very effective over there, but tonight was the first time I'd noticed it on this show. ?  It was very disconcerting.

Among.

Oh. My. God.  I would pay money to watch Phil read your 2nd paragraph to brenchal and the group.  How hilarious!  (HUH???)

Sooo…I bailed prior to the end so missed the previews for next week.  Is it safe to assume from the recapper's reference to mountains o' melons that…next week is going to be about rachel's…melons?  Mountains?  Please say No?

I know, right??!!  I was so shocked I sat here thinking I'd somehow misheard the challenge and so played it back, and…no.  It was just…division.  Man!!  

I was new to Big Brother last summer as well, and after i got over my initial shock for some reason I just sat there and watched the whole danged thing.  I read so many times online that Rachel was "so much better" than she had been her first time on the show…and jeez louise!!  She'd been WORSE before???  I also don't…

Oh, GOD!!  I'm so glad I didn't see that little tiny kitten.  I'm such a sucker this way. *sob*

I don't know this recapper so can't tell if the stray observation re: "son of a monkey's uncle" etc. was a tongue in cheek thing or whaaattt….but…I sort of assumed this was their way of CUSSIN' without cussing.  Since network TV doesn't allow that.  As in he/she really wanted to say "son of a fucking bitch" but went…

To my buddy armchairshrink - Speaking only for myself, of course, I tend to comment on the personalities (and idiosyncrasies) of the chefs because this is pretty much all Bravo gives us.  You'd have to agree, just a little bit, that the emphasis in this season of the show is simply not about cooking.  Period, dot.  If…

Would your Fatter Evangeline Lilly be Grayson?  Who was my Fatter Katherine Heigl With Brown Hair?

Yes, I did see the preview (I think); unfortunately I kept nodding off.  So I don't know if the brief glimpses of grayson (commenting on chris's beauty) and chris and heather (argh) were flashbacks or previews of what's to come. Tom is dead to me this season.  What a meanie.
