I managed to miss that, but I DID see him grab, or fondle, his (own) crotch toward the end.  Which, I know, is a hip-hop "thing"…but I can't stand it in any style.  I guess that really IS a handle?  Of sorts? 

Definitely not just you.  I had to rewind that bit; Millepied was taken aback more than just a bit; then he looked very directly at SOMEbody offstage (stage director?  his agent?  Natalie?) who apparently advised him to stand up NOW and applaud.  Very weird, to me (who doesn't participate in a standing ovation…

They did!  I have to say I missed Ruth Reichl, though…I'm not familiar with the female judge from last night and just did not like her at all.  Her comment re: Thierry's "not being aware that the sauce would seize was a major mis-step" was downright offensive, IMO…I thought "jeebus, a 27-year-old food blogger passing…

I'm with you…though Takashi has a slight edge for me.  My only exposure prior to this to Chris Cosentino has been limited to that weird race thing he does with…whatshisname judge on Chopped…and he is HORRIBLY annoying on that show - just waaaaay too competitive and always barking barking barking.  I do have to say…

I thought I was relatively conversant in the world of Mexican food but apparently not, since I don't know the answer to this.  As soon as I heard the parameters of the challenge I immediately thought, "Oh, MAN!!!  Lorena will of course prepare a meat-filled chile relleno alongside a cheese-filled chile…

I agree that the ostentatious drinking was meant as a "fuck you" to Walt….so I might have to agree with you on this one.  It could be wrapped up in my extreme dislike of Skyler.  But the whistling?  He was such a good whistler!!  That's not the easiest thing in the world to be…just wish we'd had more of his practicing…
