Audience Member, I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I'm going to forward that video on to friends now.

I didn't understand Killam's Piers Morgan impression at all.  Killam played him as a super-uptight Englishman, while Piers always struck me as pretty bland and easygoing.  His interviews remind me of Chris Myers when he did interviews on ESPN's Up Close, a gentle tongue-bath for the guest's butt.

Nic Cage's ability to keep a straight face the whole time was the funniest highlight of the episode for me.  Not even a hint of cracking at all.

Elia from Season 2, although I don't know if she'd get an invite back after the dustup with Colicchio during All-Stars.

Sarah has made some good food the second half of the season.  But I'm trying to decide whether a win by her would be more or less of a travesty than that win by Hosea in The Season That Shall Not Be Named.

Grayson would be good.  Nyesha DESERVES a spot.

Wow.  Whole Foods is nicknamed Whole Paycheck for a reason.  If you go there every other day, you must make bank.

I'm with pag01chag01 on this one.  I think Ed would have been crabby whoever came through that door, be it Bev, Grayson, Nyesha, etc.  I don't think he was blaming Beverly especially, just that another contestant was coming back in to the competition.

I'm assuming that they're up in Whistler for the finale.  I wonder if the higher altitude will prove to be a problem, like it did for Casey when she got to the finale in Aspen in Season 3.

Those aren't porn star names.  They're just black people.

I thought it was because he played golf or caddied for one of the KROQ people.

Well, Bravo's audience skews very gay, so I could see the Snow White tie-in.

The worst crime about the NYC season was that they didn't showcase the city enough.  The culinary capital of the United States, it was mostly wasted.

Sarah strikes me as the type that can't pass up buying an Enquirer and an US Weekly at the supermarket counter, so I buy her celebrity freak-out.

Coliccio's blog says that Charlize is an amateur cook, and he's cooked with her before and she knows her way around the kitchen.  So I buy that she chows down every now and then.

Were the maggots in the apple gummi worms?  I thought I saw a shot of Rice Krispies.

Hooray for female foreigners who come to the States!  I love seeing how hot South Africans, Aussies, etc. come to the States and seem to be down to earth people.  Something about growing up hot in the U.S. makes women all entitled and bitchy.

I must have missed the top, because I was beguiled by Padma's 8-inch heels during the Quickfire.  Yowza.

If Nyesha can't come back this season, she would be a prime candidate to come back for a new All-Stars season.  A lot of that season's excitement came from the chefs wanting to prove themselves and get a shot at redemption (Blais of course, Jen Carroll, Carla and Angelo come to mind).

I think he's disappointed in this season's crop of chefs.  After the food delivered in All-Stars, the mediocre preparations in this season must be disheartening.  Tom also seems to be kind of pissed that the chefs aren't taking many chances, and are willing to play it safe so they don't get knocked out.  Except for
