Her diatribe to Ariane was priceless. "So...you think he was in on it?" "But this is the man I love!" oh brother. Nikko can't even keep a straight face anymore. He keeps breaking out into a smile everytime it comes up. Priceless.

Sooooooo....exactly how long is Mimi going to keep acting like she wasn't a part of orchestrating the release of her professionally made sex tape? Because her pearl clutching is getting a little old, and Nikko can't even keep his face straight when talking about it. I'm almost offended that she assumes any audience is stupid enough to believe that she is an innocent victim in all of this.

To be fair, I think Orion's cooking was right on par with Kenny's (yeah, I know I'm wrong, but it feels so right to spell it that way!) Her food was either bland or super hot without any actual flavor. I was fine with her leaving, but they should have had her leave on a cooking challenge. Having her leave on a personality based challenge was silly, because the ONLY thing she had was personality! It just makes no sense. As for Ruben's beard, he did trim it, but I don't know, I felt like he was gonna look A LOT better with less facial hair, he only looked marginally better to me. He has big teeth. I wonder what he would look like with the thing totally shaved. You really think he is worse than "Pah Stahl?" Those are some harsh words! :)

I now know why Christopher rubs me the wrong way. He reminds me of that douchebag that just won top chef. Douchebag was my personal opinion of the guy, but I couldn't stand that barfbag, and he had the same look/general mannerisms as Christopher. At first he seemed nice, and then he just turned insufferable. Its totally unfair, because Christopher is probably a very nice, reasonable guy. I'm going to try to like him more.

And I'm sensitive to that. But just healthier. I feel like there is a wide gulf between healthy and pasta alfredo followed with a giant slice of devil food/swiss roll cake. I mean surely there has to be some canned or frozen fruit/vegetables in the Family Dollar somewhere. Please tell me we aren't sending economically depressed people into a store that only has alfredo sauce and swiss rolls! That sort of food, even in relatively small amounts, can cut your life expectancy by years - poor people should be able to live as long as those who are rich.

I just saw a 4:35 commercial on YouTube for Family Dollar that has me annoyed. It features Pat Neeley and I guess two people who won a contest for making a dish for under $15 using Family Dollar items. Both of the winners are fairly large women. One of them makes a shrimp alfredo and the other one makes a chocolate cookies and cream cake featuring Swiss Rolls. It just annoys me, because oftentimes people who shop at Family Dollar are those who don't have all the financial resources in the world, but why assume they are interested in eating amazingly unhealthy food? I mean first, they are making a shrimp pasta dish with the fattiest sauce you could possibly find. Not a salad in sight, not a vegetable or fruit to be had! Then, they make this cake which is basically a boxed devils food cake, frosted with chocolate frosting, and then you stick some swiss rolls on it! And they each have a GIANT slice of this calorie monstrosity. And bear in mind, one of these women HAS to be pushing 300 pounds, the other is at least 200 pounds. I mean do you assume poor people who shop at Family Dollar are also so stupid that they can't see you are basically trying to sell them food that is going to give them all sorts of health problems? Its so sterotypical to assume that poor people just want fatty food! And then, the big thing is that they made all this for under $15.....each! But I could easily buy all those ingredients - for less. I just wish that they would have tried to feature healthy food, I know that maybe you can't get the freshest, healthiest, greenest produce for a meal for under $15, but you can certainly do better than a fatty pasta alfredo dish, and a giant unhealthy chocolate cake. And why has Pat Neeley sold his soul? He shouldn't be allowing Family Dollar to use him to pander to the socioeconomically depressed, especially since many of them are black.

Real World does seem like a better fit...however, they also have a larger pool of young, beautiful women. Maybe Alex wanted to be assured she would be the prettiest girl on the show. She also, overall, just doesn't seem exciting enough for any reality show, but you're right, Real World would have been a better fit. I'm upset that the producers didn't step in when Redd was pretty much on the verge of sexually molesting Jada, and when she was forcing herself into Jada's bed and trying to play it off as a joke. That shit wasn't cute at all.

This episode was crazy! Or as Alton would say, this episode was "cray cray!" First - you can't really set out to make a viral video, most of the time viral videos are someone who gets accidentally kicked in the nuts, or its a cat playing a piano, or a cat unrolling a roll of toilet paper, or a cat terrorizing someone. Actually, if you put a camera on a cat, you'll probably get a viral video at some point. Regardless, the only video, IMO that would maybe go viral out of the three was the Payday commercial! Its got over the top characters, it has a fat guy with his shirt off, its hokey and sort of homemade with the scotch tape, its got a wacky concept, its very visual so it gets your attention quickly. Its the sort of thing that you if you saw it playing on Good Morning America, it would make you unmute the channel to figure out what the hell is going on! Second - is this show ever going to be about cooking? They did not cook even a bite of food this episode, it was basically one long product placement for three candy bars. Third - At some point Orion was going to go home, she was cannon fodder, but why would they send her home on this challenge where, IMO she did a good job. They should have sent her home on a cooking challenge since she can't cook. Fourth - Orion's farewell interview made me again realize why this show annoys me. She was seriously thinking she was going to make it to the end....on a cooking show.....when she can't cook! Because apparently this show is not about cooking, even to the contestants who are on it. When she was crying and talking about "I was thinking I was gonna be in the final three and people were gonna vote" I wanted to magically appear and say "bitch you can't even cook! how the hell were you going to get to the final three! This is a cooking show!" Fifth - add me to the list of people shocked that YouTube is such a corporate machine. I always envisioned a couple of sci-fi nerds, geeks and pot smokers who just wanted to make a digital place for people to share their thoughts and ideas. And they had someone who was in charge of trends? Geez Sixth - Chris, the black guy is also annoying to me. I get that this is a competition, but the idea that he would sacrifice having a good concept just so he could get the most airtime seems like a douchebag move. Seventh - Total confusion about the dating video. So they are dating candy bars, and then they eat their boyfriends while their dad is outside. And they are dating the candy bars because one is nutty and the other is tall dark and handsome?

Really Sarah? You're grandmother used to eat tomatoes, how is that even relevant/interesting/worth making it past editing?

just like grandma told her I'll bet!

Well, someone has to be the brains, and you've heard Apollo speak - you know it couldn't possibly be him. You know - now that I think about it, I wonder if the timing of her interest in the mortuary business wasn't well timed. If she feels like she might lose her law license she might have wanted to have a back up career. And I think most any bar association will sanction someone hard for fraud that involves money.

She has to have a financial stake in that designer. It doesn't make sense any other way. I feel like if you want free clothes maybe you agree to wear the clothes on TV, and to get photographed in. That should be enough for most designers to give someone free clothing to get exposure. But booking shows, getting models, hair and makeup is on a whole different level, for all that she has to get something more. Which is good for her, because the clothing looks great, although I've seen that jacket before, and I feel it was edgy a few years ago.

You say why, I say what took you so long Lenny?

You know, this is why I've never been super crushed that I've never been "beautiful" It seems like women have a hard time letting go of their looks when they have relied on them so long. Cute seems to take much longer to fade :)

Here is the thing that annoys me about that commercial....you're no hero dude, you just brought your side dish. You said you would bring the damn artichoke dip and you did it, no need to push all the other food out of the way and wait for the honeys to hug you like you just rescued them. Becky brought the jello mold, Todd brought the potato salad, Jeff brought the 7 layer bean tip, Suzie brought the peach cobbler. But you don't see THEM looking for recognition or pushing everyone elses stuff out of the way. I mean, I get that you're proud of this artichoke dip, I get it, you got your miracle whip, you made your dip, put it into your El Camino and managed to make it to the party without spilling it or eating it, and for that you're a rock star. But seriously, look for applause when you bring the main dish. Or at least something that requires a little more prep than stirring in the miracle whip.

Well, to be fair, his look says that SOMETHING is happening in his pants as a result of eating a burger with coleslaw on it. I love how the cook in the diner regales him with a look of shocked admiration, like he just blew his damn mind with his brilliance, like "look at this crazy guy putting slaw on a burger! I never even realized that the cup I serve the slaw in is the exact same size as a burger, what a crazy slaw lovin' genius! Slaw on a burger, thats a story I'll be telling my great grandkids" Word up to Miracle Whip though - I never get that look of heroic admiration when I put my usual two pickles and mustard on my burger.

Thank you, I'm crossing my fingers for a "long walk off a short cliff" scenario, but it almost seems too much to hope for.

Her 4th of July outfit was a hot mess. I don't think I minded the shorts. I like the shorts/heels look. But that top? I felt it was a statement piece of some sort, with the buttons in the back, and the folds/tape all over it. But why wear something like that to a 4th of July party. The rest of your outfit says "partytime!" and your top says "cutting edge statement piece!" And then at some point, the back of her shirt came out of her shorts and then it just looks sloppy on top of strange. And her dress for the party? WTF was that about? With the exception of Annabelle they all had on less than stellar dresses, but Juliets was particularly bad, second only to Caprice.

Don't forget to pick up your copy of "the Notebook" and every disney princess movie. The penicillin alone is ineffective, and before you know it you'll be making crazy eyes at some guy you barely know.

I think you should do it. Seriously, if Kenny got on the show you really can have no idea of what they are looking for. That guy tried to sell a McDonalds style parfait as a breakfast food on a cooking show. But honestly, life is so short, if you can cook, and you have a good POV, do it. The worst thats gonna happen if you do it is someone is going to say "no thanks" but if you never do it, you may always wonder. Don't find reasons not to follow your dream if thats what you want to do! Uh - Bobby Flay is not good looking, neither is Alton Brown, a lot of Giada is hair and makeup and teeth, Rachel Ray is not particularly knockout beautiful. As for being older, I don't think thats an awful thing, I really don't as long as you're coherent and know your stuff. I mean Lenny is no spring chicken, and he talks like he just escaped from a rodeo prison camp, and he is a frontrunner. But if you decide to do it (and I hope you do!) please practice your POV in front of a mirror. Don't be like the rest of these dimbulbs and be shocked when someone asks you to give a 30 second introduction/explanation of your POV.

Thats so wrong! That is so much worse than pig palace, thats just rubbing it in the pig's face.

I will give Kelley this, she managed to have a good attitude throughout that bullshit date of hers. Everyone else got hot air balloons, boat tours, fancy dinners and a fireworks show. Kelley got a sock hop and an old car. Matt wouldn't even try to make out with her for the sake of the show. Or maybe he knew that if he had any physical contact she might claim a pregnancy, or assumed they were engaged because she was obsessed. Most everything about this show made the girls look pathetic, but I had a good time.

His town looked like it could have been the birthplace of Walmart.

That makes sense, at first blush it just seemed so odd to me to actually put it in a contract. Wearing Cavalli might fool a more savvy girl into thinking he is prince Harry. I mean Kelley is probably going to be fooled even if he was wearing a potato sack, but if you want to land a more sophisticated girl...but your point is well taken. The whole thing just seemed odd to me. I heard the cure for that was a round of antibiotics, watching the Notebook two times a day, watching every Disney princess movie once a day for two weeks, and wearing daisy dukes while doing a backflip off a canoe. But don't let people know you have the Kelley, you might end up quarantined.

I can honestly say thats the cleanest I've seen New Orleans streets on a party night, so you might be onto something.
