What was with the his & hers way too colorful tattoos? Fat Mike didn't bother me as much as the return of Fat Mouth Mike. Grazie mille, Antonia. I couldn't have been happier that you won. Hope Mike never hears the end of his mother telling him he should have chosen her.

Not just you. I've been watching Dave since the daytime show. Very hard to imagine TV life without him.

Yes, that was gist of the ep, but she wrote about chasing him -her realtor down the block. Wasn't she with Adrian? Whoa, was that just for show? Ha, Adrian must have l'agreement!

The look Bobby Flay gave Lenny plus his brunch show have made me forgive Bobby for all his early craptastic ego b.s. Just stay off the cooking table, k? I also think Flay will torture Tush til Lenny is a vapor trail.

Gratuitous tub scene wasn't quite as ... I dunno, as the bare-chested Gordon stretching and scratching himself awake. Please, dude, you are not all that.

Enjoyed watching Sherlock, although Alton ripping on Giada and Bobby taking a shot at Sarah sound like the highlights of this circus. Let the blow back begin.

Watching the cooking channel (Vietnamese guy in France and Korean food--interesting shows and they cook) I saw a new, to me, promo for tomorrow night's show. It ended with a "hero shot" of each of the final 3. Lenny's shot was an extreme close up and skeevy, you can't see Nicole's face because her head is in her hands (celebrating or not-worth-showing?) and a medium shot of Luca looking as good as I've ever seen him. Perfect angle and some dolce eye candy. Hmm?

Heh, I'd count on it. (I may pass on those links, I already can't stand the guy.) I'm sticking with my belief that FN knows they can't go with him. As to the media picking up on it, it strikes me, hilariously, that this show ain't what it used to be in terms of having real attention paid to it. Unless Bob/Suze decide to pick Lenny because they miss not being in the news. Hey, they re-hired Irvine, the steroidal lying liar, they don't give a crap.

Story of his life on this show.

Now seeing the whole schedule, I'm more likely to tune in again--this Blais/Marcel match up made me nauseous. (Typical Richard Blais fashion is obnoxious.) Go, Stephanie!

You know at what level Blais needs to STFU? I wanted fucking Marcel to win. Ugh, there's another redemption track--the knockout? Knock off. Knock it off. Knzzzzzzzzz.

I'm betting this was the episode that would have featured our building--if we'd said yes to the producers that approached us, sure, show our building as losers. Instead, a loser are the couple--geez, no, she had no idea what industrial meant (therefore, I'm with HotPhoenix on where that gem came from). Lincoln Park is the burbs? Ha, funny (also, I believe they ended up a block from a major trafficy area). Germophobes living in a big city, renting bikes, touching stuff--oh, producers, get a new playbook. I did enjoy their realtor, though.

Heh, Toaster beat me to Charlie. Forgot about Wishbone (must have been distracted by young, sulking Clint Eastwood). Meanwhile, in this century, Nicole's answer might have been that her "passion" for coastal cooking is why she's worked to become an expert (play the 10,000 hours card, honey) and that is how she follows her passion and "travels the world's coastlines without leaving her kitchen." Psst, Suze, you can market the crap out of that--think of a world of table runners and coordinated serving platters you can sell in the FN store. Seriously, some seasons, it's like they're not even trying.

"My Two Nonnas?" Maybe Luca will describe a grandma recipe and then update it. Makes more sense to me than visiting Italian restaurants, flirting with owners and then coming back to cook something--inspired by the restaurant meal? Containing an ingredient of the restaurant meal? I like what he did and I couldn't quite follow where it came from (besides the slug pasta).

I remember thinking "go already" after the longest peri-regeneration ever. I was lukewarm to Ten until the Donna season--she enjoyed him so much I started to. But then, I forgot why.

I like to think that Deadwood's Wu was a tribute to Hop Sing.

**Looks around River North** Nope, just her. Had she misplaced her e-reader?

My thought is that Bob & Suze only go with the fan fave if it's Luca. Not saying that's not wishful thinking, but Nicole doesn't have it and the internet cowboy hurts their brand. They can get Luca a vocal coach and a hair stylist. His bagna cauda is often used as a dip for vegetables - that fish looked delish! I'm curious if Irvine also offers resume advice?

Jon Batiste killed it. (And the look on Stephen's face when he announced they'd bought thesarahpalinchannel.com was divine.) Ah, he'll be performing at Lollapalooza on Saturday. Can't deal with the crowds, but maybe we can get downwind and hope the music blows our way.

I might have heard them say something about running a B&B, along the lines of the property having to make them money. Or maybe they're flippers! I'd watch a Flip This Hill Town show for sure.

A dance "studio" and a "create music room" and talk to the heart all combined into one of the fakest full-of-shit eps I can remember. Five minutes in and there wasn't an iota of doubt these two were out of their tiny house that looked like a tumor growing out the house next door. I guess this creative couple felt like performing to the max.

Or is Heidi driving a pink Cadillac? Posen is still boring. Nina is still annoying. And I miss old Tim. Now Mitchell doesn't know what the judges are looking for--and whatever it is, I'm not looking for him to deliver it. I suspect I'll check back in a month or two and see how Char is doing.

The salmon was burnt. She burned the salmon. Salmon=toast. What? Third-tier TV cooks get paid to play. Richman throws a bunch of old game show lines around. The best part of this being on NBC is no constant replays.

"I want you to understand the sciences of what I've done." Sole example--darkening the fugly wood paneling to make the joint appear softer. The science of LOL! There are so many of these kinds of shows, this one is hilarious. (The pork-eating vegan was comedy gold.)

Oh, Endeavor! I know there was a big neon "I get shot" sign over Thursday's head, but I do hope he pulls through, albeit most likely retires. Hello, season 3, please get here asap.
