Combined with his (Brian's) comments about having been born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

While that may have been her intent, I still find it an incredibly obnoxious question to have asked anyone—-on national television. And again, something I'd have thought would be second nature to Gail (not subjecting a TC contestant to such a dumb question, I mean.) Say what you will, there are people out there who…

Couldn't agree more. It was an elitist question, and so casually put, given the arena and the exposure that Justin's "high school education" will enjoy, and unless I'm nuts I'd swear I detected just a smidge of amused condescension in gail's twinkly-eyed delivery. Very weird coming from Gail; I'd have expected…

But does she also do well??

No WAAAY!!! Jesus, if I ever felt horrible in advance for the future kids of somebody, it would be Marie's. Yikes bigtime. Tim's almost a child, but still…if he doesn't know any better, I can't muster up much sympathy for him at all.

60% of the money!! And she'll probably make Tim pay her for 10% of the cost of whichever trip she gives him. AFTER she makes him calculate whatever figure that would be.

Or "The Piano Has Been Drinking"

That was definitely Lee Ann. She seems to be everywhere these days; it's so gratifying to see that she's not only doing extremely well, but she also lost quite a bit of weight (which had been making her very unhappy for ages). So now she's quite accomplished and a helluva chef AND gorgeous…who knows what extremely…

I absolutely love Stephanie's deadpan take on everything. She is HILARIOUS (her dry delivery of the "performance-enhancing drugs" thing last week was perfect enough to confuse me a little bit). Love her and wish she could like herself even just a smidge. She'd probably cook better. Which is not to say that she's…

Am pretty sure that was Padma who was macaroon/macaron-confused. Shocker!!

It's difficult for me to envision a "marinara" sauce, as both Tom and Emeril kept calling it, without basil and/or oregano, for starters…and surely there was none of THAT in there??? Did he use garlic in it?

Right. I keep thinking there's no way Carla could have actually seen this thing…or if she HAS, she has not one ounce of vanity. DiSpirito certainly does, though (have an ounce of vanity)…so they must have signed off at some point?

General dickishness is spot on!! However and unfortunately, he has a NEW show…something about finding failing restaurants and then pitting the co-owners(?), usually family, and their conflicting ideas against each other. Sounds like fun to me!!

I found him via some online reviews of, I think, Top Chef…at eater.com. I thought they were absolutely hilarious, but lots of folks over there hated him.

I missed that. I hope she drained it for a couple of seconds before tossing with sauce? "Right out of the fryer" makes it sound as though she…didn't. Ewww.

I had no idea there was a Nicholas, either. I thought the nice guy from NO was Justin…but beyond Shirley, Stephanie, Bene and Justin, I've no idea who anybody else is. Oh, yeah. Travis. That's it for me. Not sure what that means.

I remember him as the Asian dude who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

OK, I just said I can't do the bravo website. But this I'm going to have to see. Wheee!!

Yes, yes!! Great idea. I just can't go to the bravo website ever.

LOL!! I think I already do!
