  1. I'm behind on this show so please don't spoil anything but I really hope that Axe's metrosexual fixer duo really get a beatdown. Their smugness really rubs me the wrong way whenever they're on screen. Also, the way their whole role is written makes it seem like there are a hundred of them who know exactly what every single person associated with Axe is doing at every millisecond. The amount of surveillance at Axe's hands really defies belief.

    Palak remains my favorite contestant this year. Smart, well-spoken, a great chef, and seemingly a genuinely nice person. She was too good for this show.

    I agree 100%.

    While I understand the dislike of Jess, I think that she's the only one of the final four who actually has the ability to grow into having a show. Other than that, this season has been a train wreck.

  3. Sorry, but the rocket explosion in all likelihood wouldn't have cost the life of the astronaut and I'm saying astronaut because no CEO would be flying his own rocket and wouldn't be cleared to go to the space station. The current designs for manned capsules all have launch abort systems that would get the capsule away from an aborted lower stage. The launch footage they chose (the Antares failure from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia in 2014) could easily have allowed the manned capsule to separate and survive a water landing in the Atlantic. My advice is "do better" TV writers.

    It surely felt like a kick in the face to the competitors (I just can't call them cheftestants) that some bubble-headed blogger walks in off the street and gets a FN series while they have to run this stupid gauntlet for the chance to win...nothing.

    Yeah, I noticed that too and kinda chuckled.

  5. Gee Matt, maybe you would've won your battle if you had put a bunch of frakking teeth on the top of that monstrosity! The running joke for the entire AAEBoiler family while watching this is to shout "add some teeth" whenever a contestant is frustrated with their design.

    I was frustrated as well because I thought Kevon's design was cool. I understand the judges comment that some of the design elements didn't match the trees that he was supposed to emulate but at least he had a beauty makeup. His model's face looked stunning!

  6. Late to the party here - we're watching this season in 2-episode chunks for each elimination. I'm glad that I'm not the only one frustrated beyond belief regarding Matt's inane decision to just put teeth anywhere he damn well pleases without any sort of negative comment from the judges. Just stop it already!

    Shame to see Mackenzie having fun acting this season as I don't recall too many times she did that in past seasons.

    It's such a shame that she's actually having fun with this now that we're in the final season.

  7. Mrs. AAEBoiler and I enjoy trying to predict the plot ahead of time when we watch a new one. We did fairly well with the Lacey Chabert "My Secret Valentine" movie that they re-aired yesterday.

    I think we've watched enough of these that we could write one! My current idea is to go big and have Lacey Chabert and Candace Cameron Bure star in the same movie. Let's see, they could both accidentally book the same chalet for a ski trip with their respective boyfriends and start to clash with each other. They each start to argue with their boyfriend and start to form a link with the other's boyfriend. Hijinks ensue and they end up happy at the end each leaving with new boyfriends. The end credits could show a montage of polaroids showing that they became fast friends and even had a double wedding. Boom, movie!!! Can someone greenlight this? Now, we just need a title and for Chris Bearstick to star as one, or both, of the boyfriends!

  8. This was an interesting filler episode. While I like the graphics of how certain conditions (slack tank, rogue wave, etc.) can cause a boat to capsize it's just really creepy and disconcerting for the show to use exact models of the beloved boats sinking or crashing on the rocks. Maybe it's just me.

  9. In agreement with everyone that Kevon was robbed this episode. His concept from start to finish was amazing and executed to perfection. So, of course, Matt wins with a chef with forks stuck in his body and an upper lip of teeth. Good grief.

    - Pretty sure that ICBMs can't put their payloads into orbit. That's way more fuel than they have. And a stable orbit usually requires multiple burns, AFAIK.

    You are correct, not enough fuel! The "B" in ICBM is ballistic meaning what goes up must come down.

    I don't like Giada, but I didn't mind her going off on Harrison.  he just kept hammering her with "what if" after "what if", to the point where she just threw up her hands and said, 'Yeah, what if I'd made a completely different dish?!?"  She was right.  "Giada, I really liked your dish, but what if you'd replaced the pasta with a steak and the the creamy sauce with a baked potato?"  "Giada, this pasta dinner is fantastic, but I wish you'd added some flour, sugar, and eggs, baked it in a tall pan, and covered it with chocolate frosting.  Oh, and written  Happy Birthday Harrison on the top.  That would have been great, too."

    I agree. I didn't think she was necessarily bitchy at all. I thought that Harrison was way too "mansplainy" on how to make a better dish instead of just judging the dish as he ate it.

  12. This show has the worst contestants and I wouldn't watch any of them on a regular basis. Guy Fieri's "Guy's Big Project" in 1 season showed how this concept should be done. It had an actual focus on what they were looking for (finding a host for a travel show) and actually gave lessons that led up to their selection. FNS has devolved into a bunch of stupid challenges with no guidance on how it develops someone to front their own show. If it gets any ratings at all it's just people hate-watching it so they can bitch about it on the boards. Hey, that's what I'm doing! :-)

  13. The funniest part of the intervention was the fact that the person in the Crawdad mascot suit was a teenage girl (she was late to the intervention because she couldn't get a ride). In retrospect, it makes all the interactions between Brockmire and the Crawdad that much funnier ... and twisted/wrong.

  14. Well, I finally got through this. As is the case with true story adaptations, it's interesting to see how they develop the story given that we can (and I did) go to Wikipedia and read a synopsis of the entire event. With that said, I was a little disappointed that we didn't get a "where are they now" kinda synopsis of the people. Yeah, they very briefly alluded to JP3 being in a wheelchair but it was a "blink and you miss it" editing cut. I would've been interested to see how some of the other people fared later in life.

    Of the major/minor characters, I think I only ended up liking Bullimore (Khan) and Robina who's dry wit was hilarious. Let's green light a series for those 2 characters, ok? Maybe Fletcher Chace can come along too as I forgot him as being extremely likable. 

    This binge-watch is done. Now I'm off to finishing binge-watching The Magicians. [So much TV, so little time]

    I'll bet the goons left the old couple to clean up the mess, too.

    The couple?!? They killed the old guy. It will be up to the old woman to clean everything up ... unless they killed her off screen and just left the mess.

  16. I guess I don't understand why the hosts would have a human looking heart (that was cut out of Akane). I get that they would need some kind of pump to push realistic looking blood out of the bodies when they get shot/chopped/sliced/bit/blownup/other but it doesn't seem logical or good engineering practice that the designers would design a heart that looks exactly like a human heart. Thoughts?

  17. I was annoyed when Mike Rowe VO'd that Clark got his just desserts for pranking Sig ... Clark would never have done that on his own. He was simply being a good soldier and responding to the "Code Red" ordered by Edgar. 

  18. Well, I stuck it through all 7 (?!?!?) seasons and this last one was an absolute mess but dammit they made me cry (I will not admit how much) in the last scene with the "Leaving Storybrooke" sign. Even as a 50 year old guy, I guess I'm still a sucker for a happy ending not matter how convoluted it is.

    Lisa (after dreaming about Ninja Bart stopping an assassin trying to kill her as the future queen of Denmark): "Bart, get out of my fantasy."

    That joke would've played soooo much better if it was Milhouse targeting Lisa's husband.
