Where to begin? I don't think Aaron has much chance of being recycled as a FN cheftestant for maybe the next century. What a nasty parting shot. Glad they got rid of Anorexic Peggy Lipton early in the game. Completely unappealing camera presence and food concept. What the hell was she doing to those tomatoes, anyway? Notice the cuts to glowing LBH when Damiano was speaking? He doesn't bother me much. Maarrrrrteeetah - enough with the jazz hands, please.

Now I'd pay to see that.

I totally agree. There was such a nice vibe with that judge combination. If we want to be irritated we know we can count on most of the contestants.

Can't wait for tomorrow's episode. You're right - I have no life.

If Jeff leaves, can I have his shirts? Nothing wonky here - I just like the shirts he wears on the show.

Mr. pig liked Kim in Deadwood, but in this series she's as compelling as a tree stump. (No offense to tree stumps.) That squint and jutting jaw are getting on my nerves.

I stare in utter fascination. I've read about body dysmorphia, but do people actually think they look better after being stretched/numbed/embalmed/injected with plastic? It killed Joan.

That's it. Thanks, Peanut. No wonder we never saw Tobias again. He actually had a functioning brain.

For the record, I'm still really pissed off about this property. I keep thinking about the staff who need jobs and are horribly abused by those asshole "owners". Gah! I have to go hug my doggy.

I'm having a senior moment. Who was Tobias?

Since I believe in equal opportunity snark: First guy to get eliminated - what was with all that weird glassy-eyed grinning? Had he been tapping the Chopped pantry bar? As for Chopped Champion, two words: BEARD NET.

Yes! Annoying, gross and not talented - what more could we ask for in Chopped 2.0?

I'd never heard of the passout game in children. It was always in an autoerotic connotation in adults. No wonder this family was/is traumatized.

At least he could have taken his shirt off. I think GR is cute. (hides)

Maybe they can use the leftover set from the Panama season of Prison Break.

catty & jc, you're right on the money. I couldn't tell you what any of the four cooked because they all had such grating personalities. I hope Ted got hazardous duty pay. Geoffrey - that jacket/tie combination was all sorts of NO!

And Now Frank Dillane (Nick) has been arrested for battery. This show can't catch a break.

They don't keep hammering home a dollar/time limit on Gordon's show as they do on RI. Hotel Impossible doesn't either, but the past few episodes have involved such disgusting fleabag joints and horrible owners that you found yourself rooting for foreclosure. The Idaho property could be lovely if properly managed.

Anybody know when we can expect a new season? I really like this show.

I'm ready to bite her myself.

I'm loving these analyses. I should have paid this much attention in college.

The summer basket episode 5/24/16. Kill me now. Two female chefs, Penelope Cruz and Rosie the Riveter, with the most annoying speaking affection everrrrrr? Vocal fry. It drives me nuts.

At least the contestants were over 12.

While I would have preferred less family therapy, Gordon is nowhere as irritating as Irvine. Besides, my attention was constantly diverted to the furry dead legs hanging on the wall behind Gordon's right shoulder, I hope this place makes it.
