I really enjoyed Luann's stories. Are there going to be more of these? Does anyone know when/who the next one will be?

I'm guessing Billy Joel's connections + being pretty, led to Top Chef, and she took it from there post-divorce.

Thank you so much for the morning laugh! Love it!

What Damiano did with the turkey baster could be done with a spoon. I understand he had to think quick when it didn't work to fill the fritella, but if it were a less liked contestant, they would have been harder on that contestant about it. As for Ana, I want to taste her food so bad! This is why I watch these shows, for the food, not the personalities, so I'm still rooting for her so I can watch her make more yummy food. I was SO dying to taste her natilla! I hope they post the recipe for it on TFN site (yes, there are tos of recipes for it online, but I want her recipe!), By the way, I think I have a soft spot for Ana because on the RHoM, she was still in love with her ex-husband, and was in so much pain that it broke my heart.

Initially, I was a little put off by Jules, but the last few episodes her vulnerable "real" side has come through, and I kind of just want to hug her and make her feel safe. I hope she breaks through the darkness now that Michael is out of her life marriage wise, and she's free to be who she is and meet someone who will love her unconditionally.

So she bought desserts to sell at ABC when it was open, and stole photos of desserts to put up on her facebook and website? That being said, yes, she looks pissed off in that photo! I'm guessing it's some kind of FU to the Yelpers and Ramsay. LOL

Amy has a cookbook. She's now a baker extraordinaire, no doubt because the only thing Gordon Ramsay liked was her dessert. But, if I recall correctly, wasn't it revealed that most of, if not all of her desserts, were purchased elsewhere? http://www.chicagonow.com/intellectual-chicago-suburbs/2016/06/stevens-book-reviews-baking-with-amy-a-cookbook-by-amy-bouzaglo-of-amys-baking-company-fame/

I almost want to cry when I see her nose now because she never needed a nose job, although the first nose job (when she was with Kris Humphries) looked great. She's had at least three nose jobs, and I think this last one detracted from her beauty. Not only is the space between her upper lip and the tip of her nose way too long, but the turned up tip flared her nostrils, making her look severe at certain angles, almost like she's snarling. If she goes any further with her nose, she'll be creeping closer to Michael Jackson territory.

Oh, I like Damiano too, and loved him on The Holiday Baking Championship! So talented and creative! My snarky joke was more about Giada's Italian Stallion lust each season. :) As for Erin, take her Holiday Baking Championship persona and multiply it by 10 for TNFNS because she has to amp it up even more. I'm just going to focus on what she's making; LOL. On another note, I kind of like that they're recycling contestants from show to show because it's familiar, and it's usually contestants I would have liked to see even more of, creative wise, on their previous FN show.

I just really need to know this. Why do horrible women like Ramona have so many damn friends? I know many women like her who treat their friends like shit, even going as far as trying to destroy said friend's lives, yet they're teflon; they get away with it all the fucking time. Then you see a truly genuine, good person get attacked and dropped for a minor, really benign infraction. (Sonja is a happy drunk! How dare she be a happy drunk! Let's dump her!) Why?? Having said all that, I'm so done with Bethenny the bully. It's getting to the point where I wish I could reach into my television and throw a Skinny Girl margarita in her face.

I'm in the minority here; I liked Erin on the Holiday Baking Championship because she was so damn creative. I'm hoping the trend continues on TNFNS. I also liked Ana during her run on the RHOM, so I'm kind of rooting for her. That being said, we all know Damiano will be around for a while as long as Giada develops a lady boner for him like she does with all the rico suave Italian guys. ETA - I'd like to see Tyler Florence as a permanent judge on the show, and I was really impressed with Valerie's low-key, cool demeanor. I guess I'm used to her judging the kidlets, which is a whole other ballgame.

I'm thinking "alone time" = Corey. If she didn't have Corey, I'm willing to bet she'd be begging Kim and Kanye to stay.

Exactly! Every country sells/has bread and cheese, and I'm sure any restaurant she ate at would gladly make her a grilled cheese sandwich with whatever cheese she wanted. If she's in Paris, she can just ask for a Croque Monsieur minus the ham. Between that and not knowing what sauerkraut is (has she ever had a hot dog outside of her house?), I'm beginning to w A Croque Madame is a Croque Monsieur with a poached or fried egg. :) Yum!

In watching past seasons, Kim has been calling Rob a loser (among other things) pretty much most of his adult life. In fact, she calls him that so much that just two seasons ago Kris was on the phone with Kim, trying to get her to sympathize with Rob a little because she was worried sick about him. One of the first things she said to Kim was, "Please just listen to me and don't call him a los...". then she stopped, remembering the cameras were there. Apparently they're trying to cover up Kim's usual mantra that Rob himself confirmed many times in seasons before that one, not to mention actually watching her put him down venomously on more than one occasion throughout the KUWTK run. All of the sisters have messed with Rob, but I think Kim has been the worst to him.
