I bought it on Ebay

Like THAT is a great trick. That's what I would have wanted to see.

Especially since he repeatedly said "I have to get him to eat vegetables." Which means that, like a lot of three years old, he has no particular desire to.

It was vegetarian, not vegan. Some just chose to go closer to vegan.

The choice of chicken makes sense. There was an emphasis on simple and humble ingredients and chicken is just that.

That or my thought was maybe some kind of medical condition where it's better for him to be vegetarian.

I was dishearented to see Silvia go, but hey, they sent Sam to LCK because of his "banh mi" that didn't even feature a baguette, so booting her for a "potato salad" without mayo in a traditional bbq challenge is at least consistent judging. It also fits into judges being more forgiving of execution issues (Katsuji) to…

I'm guessing the chef was already penciled in, and she's not the first to cook for an ex-boss. Given her attitude, I'm wondering if he was just 100% unimpressed with her and worried that she'd be exposed as being all bark and no bite (which she kinda is)

We absolutely could see that meltdown of Emily next week. I think Brooke has another week in the bottom before she melts down.

I'm curious to find out if she can bounce back next week or if this has just shaken her confidence so bad she's basically done.

When I saw Emily in the first weeks, I wondered if she was cast because of her fragile ego. She absolutely was, because she totally gave them the meltdown they wanted when they brought her old boss back.

I think he's mediocre because he spends most of his time being a judge on Food Network and they don't exactly have demanding standards for theirs.

Waiting for inevitable complaints about the edit, tbh

Me too. His self-awareness helps.

She is and there is nothing wrong with that (which is why she annoys me.) I can't help but wonder if they sensed a fragile ego when they cast her?

Emily both irks me and makes me irked for her. You KNOW producers were hoping one of the newbies to fall for the bait and she took it hook, line and sinker. Besides, better rookie than n00bs, right? The other chefs had the right idea though: don't overthink and just prove you belong there with your food (Silvia and…

Shows up in season six, a few eps in, and is the Big Bad. It's just behind Season 2 for best season for me.

I think the clues will be there if we go back and watch. I rewatched the scene in the cabin where from Bernard's POV there is no door, but when Teresa asks, it does show up. They clearly are taking pains to set them there.

Especially since even Ru pointed out that Katya got the shaft in terms of characters last week. I kinda feel like Ru has it out for Katya because she's one of the only ones giving Alaska a run for her money.

I do the same. Honestly, this who season is underwhelming enough it's more something to have on in the background as opposed to something that warrants paying attention.
