My mother-in-law and sister-in-law both talk at the table with their mouths full and open. It's disgusting. I have a friend who is apparently incable of lifting cutlery to his mouth. Instead he dips his head down to an inch above his plate and shovels his food in. Yuck.

Gregory's back was causing him a boatload of pain. He got treatment while still in Italy, but left to go home a few days after he lost, presumably to get treatment from his regular practitioners. I just hope he had a lot of painkillers to get him through that long flight. (Maybe airline Kevin was able to get him upgraded to first.) This. Especially since he (to me) has the most pretentious sounding voice. Not me. Never eaten there. Though I do agree that Chain Food Restaurant Wars sounds fun.

I don't think they get to go home until the entire show is done.

"Prolly". Why can't you just say/type probably? Nasty nasty word.

Lady Gladys of peanut butter pretzels Amazon.

Okay, I'm old, but this is wrong. Who dedicates their life to becoming world champion of sign spinning?

Several decades ago, I used to sometimes fly (cattle class) from London to Paris. The flight was under an hour and they managed to serve drinks and a three course meal to all the passengers in a jumbo jet.

Can you explain this? Called out for what? On a cooking show? Thanks.

Which reminds me, I ordered a chocolate orange from them eons ago. Wonder what lucky person ended up with it on my dime.

It would piss me off royally. It's worse than "Have a nice day", or "Enjoy." Ugh. Unfortunately there are plenty of children who are apparently able to eat nothing other than mac and cheese or peanut butter and jelly. (By the way, thanks for making me look up Beefaroni. 🙂 ) I don't understand why it's even an issue. We ate what we were given and cleaned our plates. We weren't told what to eat, we just did what was normal, which is eat our dinner. And then we washed up.

More cheffy ego on display from the guest judge: "We were beginning to pioneer baby asparagus."

"Sweeter than soggy underwear at a barbeque." I am officially grossed out and need icecream to get over it.

I realized a while back that the way to go with airline food is Southeast Asian vegetarian - hard to overcook and holds well on long flights. (I also take a sandwich with me! And chocolate.)

Do you think his parents actually named him "Wil"? I just tried to say it out loud and it kind of made me gag because I needed the extra l. The fact that he's a complete dick doesn't help.

Sorry Stephanie, but no-one on an aeroplane wants reheated, overcooked fish. En papillote or not, it's still going to fill that enclosed steel bullet with the smell of cat food for the rest of the flight.

"Big flavours, fatty meats - this is what I think of as California cuisine." Kevin's bizarro California.

I love how toasted Padma was during the QFC.

Who would you rather spend time with? The dick who tells you that he has always spent his life traveling first class or the one who is grateful that having a flight attendant mom meant you actually got to travel.

Ugh. I think I'm out. There is nothing original in this, including the newly bereaved/divorced ending up immediately in new relationships. I'm sorry, if you have five children, including a newborn, how about thinking about them for a few years. You may not have chosen to be widowed, but you did choose to be a parent. "Let's take it really slow and talk," she says, and they immediately snog. Oh and now are we going to have the older guy and the mom get together? Please no. (Especially since he's my favourite character.) Plus that green outfit Robin wore (Thanksgiving?) was hideous.

N/Naka? How self-importantly pretentious can you get?

Me too! What a sad sign of the (coronavirus) times that a cooking show can almost bring me to tears. (Not including the Great British Bake Off, which can have the same effect as peeling onions!) At least she didn't do bread pudding.

I'm not generally squeamish, but the ad where a woman takes a cucumber slice off her eye, dips it in some kind of sauce then eats it grosses me out.

LeeAnne: "Today I've actually made for you . . .". Good to know you actually did it. While actually remembering to dye your hair pink because you think it's attractive.

This was horrible. I actually like Amy Schumer (as an actress), but between her obviously knowing what she was doing while pretending not to, and the bad recipes, this was nasty. And the weird trying to make authentic latkes that were so wrong. Ugh.

I'm sure they get eaten/taken home by production or anyone else hanging around.
