Did Demetrio get a personality transplant? I hated him every time he appeared on Chopped. Here, I almost didn't recognize him. He seemed subdued, wasn't boastful, took criticism well. Once Justin was out, I was even rooting for Demetrio. Saw Chris on Beat Bobby Flay and I think I was pulling for Bobby.

Tasi's grilled cheese looked phenomenal!! I would have gladly eaten it.

I am shocked that Marcus Samuelson didn't get a star first. Gerald looks pretty young.

Round 3. There was more food on the appetizer plates than the entrées. And since when do you have to use the whole item? So what that Becky didn't use the dumplings? The guys both pureed theirs so it's not like the judges could point to where the dumplings were in the dishes.

Love Vanna's outfit tonight!

Do you think they would have accepted Kingfish? With my luck, I'd have written Kingfisher which is definitely wrong.

We know there's one in Albuquerque! (Loved In Plain Sight. Wonder what those actors are doing now.) It took me a while to place Deputy Crichton. Once they showed him in the plane with a straight ahead gaze from those gorgeous eyes, I remembered him in the helicopter. That man should not leave the ground. Tennant's son is too injured to play baseball but qualifies for the Navy? Jesse for mvp, he even started gesturing with his hands when speaking Italian 😆

Really? How long does it take to fly from Hawaii to Vegas? If they had called the local FBI, they would have more computer info.

Remind me to have tissues on hand next week. This week not so much.

Adele still won't be calling her. Neither will Mr Trudeau.

I really like Sarah in Costa Rica. She reminds me of the actress, Elizabeth Banks. Seems to be very down to earth and knowledgeable.

I'm wondering if the cheftestants who are in the audience get escorted out before the judges come in? If not, they could figure out who'd be judging them and the judges could see who will be competing.

For FJ, I said the Great Pyramid. Happy to be in the right country. Good to know people contributed to Taylor's charity. After he mentioned it, I remembered his story.

I was getting very tired of Cidney, so glad she didn't squeak by till the end. The last three will have the easiest path to winning.

I don't know if this single mom in Honolulu is a repeat but she is annoying. Budget is not going to get all she wants. #1 is over budget, she complains about the condition, it doesn't have central air and she asks could the realtor find something better, less money and closer to the beach. Do these people hear themselves?

I blame Guy.

That was the longest week of my life! Seriously, I might be slightly addicted to this site. Just wanted to say congrats to Juveria on her awesome win.

What?! Jesse took a risk, made a good dish but it didn't go together. Erika served raw chicken. But Jesse is the one to go home? Thank goodness, Serious was finally sent home. He was so ungrateful for the opportunity with his no hugs goodbye.

The coach was adamant that they would need renters to afford that place. And the wife was adamant that she didn't want to deal with renters. I liked the Victorian. It would be easy to rent to grad students.

I thought Mayim's episode was fun.

Cali to London. A little disappointed to not have Richard but Toby was enjoyable (cozy). That was a strange set up at the split level. But their bed and bath were on the same level so they shouldn't run into neighbors while undressed.

I couldn't make up my mind if I like the South African couple or not. Happy to see he gets along so well with the daughter. She seemed younger than 13, at least in comparison to an American teen.

FYI Gary Hogeboom never won a Super Bowl.

I don't know. But the commercials don't show/mention GGG.

And now Guy is having a whole TOC qualifying tournament. Nothing about it on the FN page but I've seen commercials. Starting Feb 7th.
