Yep, his pants are gonna fall down or he'll be dry-humping another Food Network "personality" (a la Paula Deen) at some Food Network-sponsored event. Or he'll call some female passenger the "c" word on the Food Network cruise when she refuses to lick creamed corn off his chest in front of all the other passengers. Something.

Yep, Gracie was definitely giving Ali the evil eye in that scene. I'm a grown up and that look gave me chills. If they're not careful, Gracie will end up hurting Ali out of jealousy. They need to take her out for a "Gracie-only" special day, so she'll stop feeling left out. Hopefully they already have, more than once.

I don't believe for one second the winner is determined by a public vote. I believe the producers choose who they want. The "vote" is just to get viewers interested and invested. I'm willing to bet there's a clause somewhere that says the producers have the final say. I know it's that way on Project Runway (although that show doesn't involve a vote to determine the winner) and other "competition" shows. I saw posts on the Food Network Facebook page where people said the "loved" Lenny and didn't care about the YouTube videos or the message board posts. They honestly believe he's a true-blue cowboy and love him for that. Sigh...

Hey, how about candy cigarettes? Remember those gems from the early 70s? Let's go all out and get the girlses 100% on the right path, Leah!

Jenelle's been keeping busy posting pics of herself with the dogs, all hugging and loving on them. I guess she got some serious flak from about 85,794 members of the viewing public. Of course, they're all jellus haterz, so whatevs. And she has, on more than one occasion, thanked her Twitter followers for "always having my back". Yep, she fills her eyes with those poor, pathetic souls' praise and compliments, and anyone who doesn't agree with them is, again of course, a "jellus hater". How in the name of all that is holy could any human being see Jenelle as someone to be admired? What is wrong with these young people? Do they believe, like Jewel said, "see the people on TV, they say they're better than you and you agree"? Thanks, MTV, for (unintentionally or not) setting her up to be admired by a bunch of impressionable tweens and teens. How come Germy and Leah are putting stuff on credit cards? Did they already spend all the MTV cash and Germy's zillions he earns at his awesome job?

I can tell you that in at least two states other than Texas, the wanna-be self-proclaimed "proud rednecks" are still sporting that look. A coworker in Vegas' daughter wore boots with her wedding dress and all the bridesmaids wore them too. The bride and bridesmaids even posed for a photo with all of them holding shotguns...true story. I think THEY think that's how Texas gals dress. Topic? I'm suspecting they may go with Nicole as the "safe" winner. Paula Deen wasn't really fired only for saying the "n" word 30 years ago (there were many more instances of poor judgment and behaviors), and I can't imagine Food Network would want to go through all that negative publicity again, what with Lenny supporters and the anti-Lenny contingent potentially coming to virtual blows.

Or E-V-O-O! So "Butcher Babe" just means she uses meat? And what exactly is "Texas" as a point of view?? How would I go about "elevating" a dish? How about "Western", does that mean style of dress or am I supposed to use items only available in the Western United States? What's Luca's point of view, I can't remember. Farm to table I guess I get, no grocery stores, I just mosey on out to the farm and pick my own produce and slaughter my own pig or chickens, right?

Serrano ham fit into Nicole's "Coast of Spain" theme for her dish. So, prosciutto from Italy wouldn't fit. Maybe if she had just given up the "Coast of Spain" theme she wouldn't have needed to try to deceive anyone. I used to live in Vegas and I seem to recall seeing a story about the filming. I think it may have been either in the winter or early spring because I remember thinking "who would want to go to the pool NOW??" I also noticed how windy it was. Vegas when it's windy is miserable and NO ONE goes to the pool. So yeah, actors or hired focus group.

The tiara was one of the "props" that were provided to the contestants. Sarah chose the tiara because, pageant! But made no reference to it other than to repeat "Texas". And yes, that outfit at judging! I noticed earlier that her "girls" aren't all that perky. Mine aren't anymore either, which is why it's so important to wear a supportive bra. That strapless top that required either no bra or a strapless one did her "girls" no favors.

I could have sworn I saw a misspelled word on one of the product labels. Of course, I can't remember which product or what the misspelled word was...

What about the siblings who went insane from being spied on by the neighbors??

I lived in government housing for a few years when I was a kid. It was former military housing converted to apartments. The apartments had the most gorgeous hardwood floors you ever saw. Our particular unit had carpet installed over the wood, but our neighbors (and best friends) had the original hardwood with occasional rugs thrown over it. One thing I do have to say is, I did on a few occasions slip on the area rugs and fall. However, I did survive :)

I'm moving into a new (to us) house with my bro and his kids, and he is pretty unhappy that there's tile and hardwood floors throughout. He prefers carpet for the coziness factor. Obviously he doesn't watch HH, otherwise he'd know that carpet is FILTHY and DISGUSTING!!! I calmed him down by mentioning we can get an array of fluffy area rugs for the kids to lounge on, and some runners for walking from room to room. The kitchen is HUGE with granite, stainless and tile! We both love to cook so we are already having to plan a cooking "schedule" The master bedroom has a sitting room, fireplace and wet bar, plus his and hers walk-in closets and separate vanities in the master bath. There's even a separate "powder room" on the first floor! We will be living in HH Nirvana! However, the house we preferred had all carpet (horrors!) but we didn't get it. I better get him to watching HH stat so he is educated on what constitutes a "good" house. As for me, I could care less about granite, stainless or hardwood floors.
