I thought her bumping along the bottom may have been partly to having some bad days, but LCK confirmed, she's just a bit out of her league. Having oil and salt when your competitor doesn't should be a total layup.

Your childhood included much fancier foods than mine.

Were you following a recipe or winging it. I forgot about that but it sounds great. I think I would follow a tres leches cake recipe, but add some espresso powder to the batter, then for the "leche" component, just mix some very strong coffee with sweetened condensed milk to soak the cake.

If I were doing the challenge, I think I'd probably make a beef barbacoa taco, using beef cheeks. Growing up around ranchers in South Texas, this was something ate frequently, and occasionally, when out on someone's ranch, we'd prepare it in the very traditional and rustic way, where you take an entire calf's head,…

Hopefully in future seasons, they can at least keep up the relatively high end product placements, so we don't need to hear Padma say something like, "Don't forget before leaving the house, to thoroughly wipe your ass with Charmin Flush-able Wipes…They have Aloe".

I don't understand all the negativity in the reviews here and elsewhere. I admit the show is a bit of a mess right now, but it's a hot mess. I'm enjoying it, even if the dirt and grime is a bit over the top. Who are we to judge it's accuracy…any immortal commenters out there who actually lived in London 200…

I actually cannot even bring myself to hate watch it. Just moving on.

Okay, that't twice now that John assertively proposes an idea, then when the shit hits the fan at judges table, pretends it was someone else's idea and he was just being a team player. Either that or TC is doing some editing tricks to make him look worse….could be both.

Yeah, but the tongue was one of the few Blue team dishes they genuinely liked.

Katsuji was a selfish ass and got what he deserved. Trying to pull off 4 dishes is stupid enough, but then choosing tamales, one of the most tedious and time consuming dishes there is as one of them, was completely moronic. John shares the blame, as executive chef, he should have said, "Hey, let's do the math. …

I told you John was still a douche. The way he behaved during the elimination
challenge was despicable.

I think there's a lot more to come. I'm not sure how they are going to weave in some other styles of cooking, given the setting for the show.

I'm with Schlomo. John's still a douche. It feels to me that he is pretending to be a better dude this season, but it's not genuine.

Taking Eugene. Not much of one. More of a small knoll hanger.

I think another reason he doesn't kill them is because he sees them as resourceful people with a LOT of potential, if he can convince them to get with the program. Not the smartest move I know, but I do believe that's one of his motivations.

Most were. I did catch one of them as a Nine Inch Nails tune from The Downward Spiral. I can't recall the name of it.

I actually share Wade's interpretation of it. I felt they were trying to show her making a decision for herself to go back.

I loved the musical selections throughout the season. The tune played in the final act last night, was Radiohead's Exit Music (for a film), which has lyrics that thematically work very well with what was going on during that scene.

Eating meat is not necessarily bad for the planet. Factory farming, of both animals and plants, is the real problem. I am a carnivore and have no regrets about that, however, I buy my meat from local small producers who are raising animals humanely and sustain-ably whenever I can, which is most of the time. I…

Now that I've seen Negan's compound and how things work, it's totally unconvincing to me that this guy could be in power for long. He's given Dwight a crossbow, and Dwight clearly hates the guy. Why wouldn't Dwight put an arrow through his head the minute he turns his back on him? It seems to me that Daryl would…
