Agree! I don't dislike her necessarily, but 1st - if you're on a work exchange, why is she getting gussied up every night and eating in the dining room, drinking, etc? Maybe she'd get that more standard hotel room, but wouldn't she be generally working / training at least a standard 40ish hours per week? 2nd, she's pretty casual with her trainer, it seems odd to me.

Kevin has gym muscles.

Another Easter Egg - forget who was scrolling social media at one point (Krish maybe?) but there was a recipe post from Lacie Pound.

I think Alejandro will win. He hasn't seemed to have many major screw ups, and he's a good listener. For someone who is actually going to run a restaurant, he seems like a good pick to me.

I have also been saying Drea seemed pretty humorless all season, so I felt like her personality came out of nowhere. Mary Anne also said "Everyone loves her" so that surprised me. She had sort of a dullard edit until last night.

This is an obscure reference. Rock of Love Bus (season 3 of ROL) - Elizabeth looks like Brittany Starr, the adult film actress. I recently re-watched the series... don't judge. To me, they're identical. Elizabeth looks about 10 years older than she claims. She's beautiful, but she looks like an old 32 to me. Very pretty, but a subtle hardness to her.

That scene was definitely not played for laughs.

It's not political. Hanukkah happens near Christmas so non-Jewish people associate it with being "like Christmas." It's actually about the 5th or 6th most important Jewish holiday. I believe their most important holidays - high holidays - are in September.

Sydney is hot, but she's not that pretty.

Do they not allow houseguests to smoke anymore?

I really hope Whitney stops posing for the camera. I am betting she's just super conscious of it right now, but she was doing these porn star lips/teeth thing that was grating, and also posturing really oddly. Loving Claire in the small amount of time I saw, and I hope she does well.

I ate at one of Joe's restaurants in NYC... it was admittedly delicious.

No joke, my husband has been bringing this comment up for over a week now. ha!

I think they edited around Johnny Iuzzini during Top Chef Colorado. They just cut him out of the Stanley Hotel episode.
