Lassus

I am about 1000% convinced Georgia is following instructions from Production on her Paget flirtation, and maybe 75% convinced Paget and Ciera are in on it. Utter and total intuition and knowitallism, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Could I possibly ask what was confusing? It was actually LESS confusing than any other premiere and I thought THAT would be seen as a negative. That it was too standard action/secret agent and linear to match the previous seasons.

The reactions to this episode are almost bizarre in their negativity, "Too slow"? "Boring"?

I also liked it. (Possibly for more base reasons than should be admitted.)

I'll grant that Victoria and Sergio are well-hated, and fashion is subjective; but Geoffrey and Nancy simply didn't make the quality of clothes that the former did.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory closed on Broadway in January of 2018. Can someone help me with when this was filmed or what was going on?

Meh. That was ball four called a strike on a 3-0 count for the dude who won. Marjorie's seemed better.

I hate to be negative, but I dislike this challenge. It's boring boring boring.

Marjorie ain't no idiot. Also, Kwami proves he has NEVER EVER EVER watched the show. FROZEN waffles? That's it for Kwami.

I agree, Restaurant Wars is easily my least favorite episode. And it's a two-parter? Gross. Let's watch people fight for two hours. Agree, Hipster Mashed Potatoes got treated like crap, and Kwame was a jerk and wacko. I actually thought Amar was a bit of a jerk for not owning up to the bacon thing. It wasn't whining from Kwame, it was asking why he didn't get what he asked for.

OMG HIPSTER MASHED POTATOES YOU DESERVED TO WIN UNTIL YOU SHIT-TALKED WEEZER'S ROCK COMPARED TO METALLICA. GO PARTY WITH TOM COLICCHIO, HIPSTER LOSER. Chad was a victim of stupid. Although I was tired of the beard, so I suppose that's an ok result.

I have never, ever, ever wanted someone, ANYONE to tell the judges to fuck off more than I did tonight. Most idiotic judging of the most idiotic bro event ever. Boo. Fail.

I don't necessarily have time to see if someone's already responded to this, but Jiggy apparently has a skin condition that requires him to wear sweaters. Despite all the hate LisaV's getting in tonight's thread, she knows her shit and really cares when it comes to dogs.

Meh. I think her all-caps ERIKA JANE IS THE PART OF EVERY WOMAN IN HER THONG is really boring. YMMV

I like Kathryn. Way better than Erika, who strikes me as utterly boring. It's probably her shtick, which I consider to be, well, old.

Kim, your experience with your sister is not exactly the most unique thing that has happened in your own county this week, I'd imagine. Stop pretending you're some kind of special snowflake of a tortured family.

Hey now! Back up off Jiggy!

Am I allowed to complain about why the hell we are visiting Holden's family and how awful they've made the Avasarala character?

The treatment of Chrisjen Avasarala is the absolute worst. They loved the character so much, they brought her into the TV storyline early with the express purpose of ruining her? We didn't need Holden's family in the books, WTF do we need them in the show? Someone at SyFy needs to be fired. There, rant over. For now.

Why in the name of the Flatiron Building am I being forced to watch Bethany goddamned Frankel?

Plblblbllblblblb. Kwame should have won, or Hipster Mashed Potatoes. Hipster Mashed Potatoes really got crapped on unfairly this episode, I think. Wesley deserved to be sent home. He really wasn't ever that good. As usual, I just wanted Padma to shut up. I will also say that I cannot for the life of me understand the dislike for Richard Blaise at all. He seems dorky and friendly and happy as a person. The venom he inspires strikes me as so bizarre. YMMV, I suppose.

I don't get all this pearl-clutching and indictment of Lisa Vanderpump in the situation with Eileen. Eileen should have spoken up, and when she finally did, Lisa apologized. I don't put any stock in Eileen's psychic powers, or anyone else's on LVP's REAL intent with her apology.

Yes. This is really starting to irritate me, and drop him into Hipster Mashed Potatoes' level. I also feel guilty this is what I'm judging, but I can't eat anyone's food, so oh well.

As much as I'm sure I would have hated Hipster Mashed Potatoes' hipster mashed potatoes, it is Top Chef after all. I can't get on him too much for wanting to try something different. The concept seemed worthy, the execution just sucked.

I was kind of hoping Isaac would tell Chrissy Teigan his sex life was none of her damned business but as long as you're allowed, is John Legend's dick as big as we've all heard? But I guess they would have edited that out of the final broadcast. I also disbelieve him that he doesn't play well with others while cooking. I'm sure he's fine.
