I always hate Restaurant Wars. It seems to set the contestants against their own teammates most of the time. Doug's idea of serving each table family style was genius. They couldn't do fancy tweezer plating, but they didn't get into the weeds with sending out individual plates. And if Kerianne's servers couldn't even figure out which table was which, only having to plunk down one bowl for the entire table wouldn't have taxed their grey cells too much. Katsura came off as a douche but his fellow contestants seem to like him. He had the best line of the episode - Couldn't we just serve it all to go?

At least they don't pretend that the Twitter save is "America voting" because it isn't - it's the Eastern time zone. I missed most of the show, but heard the last 4 do the desperation singoff. Danica couldn't hit half the notes because her range is so confined. Luke has been in a death spiral for weeks and just kept on swirling swirling swirling. The preppy one (Ryan) at least did a decent performance. And Chris was actually pretty good. So glad that Damien got through.

So Gerard Butler is in a commercial. Where he explains, in his Scots accent, something about the deets are what's important. We're ready to turn on closed captioning.

My new favorite is the "If you're happy and you know it, have a snack!" brought to you by WeightWatchers.

This spring my daughter had to pay someone to teach her to ride a bike because she had to do it on stage. For that matter, Charla couldn't ride a bike - on her original season she and Mirna had to choose between bike riding and walking down a mountain and they had to walk. I'm just glad that the FF was hard. To many of them are so easy that it's just a matter of who is the first team to get there. Actually completing the FF is a foregone conclusion. This one wasn't like that. And let's not forget Nick's grandfather who had apparently done everything!

Nothing was changed for Charla or Sarah. Racers who can't swim have had to go in the water.Adam and Bethany might have had a slight advantage for that FF, but anyone who snowboards or uses a Bosum would have had the same. It wasn't really surfing.

I have no idea - but now I want to watch it! The People's Couch is so educational. Thanks Walnut Queen! I remembered that Julie had one real zinger, but I couldn't remember it. And why hasn't Depp and the Hollywood Film Awards been top story? Bet he's thanking his lucky stars for Ebola and Ferguson.

I've assumed that it was Hal (the brother who is now in the hospital) and Mary Kate. It's felt strange all through the series that Helen didn't know Alison. She knew the Lockhart brothers, they come to Montauk every summer, and the Lobster Roll seems to be the place to go to with kids to eat. Mare Winningham is sure grabbing up all the meaty parts for middle-aged women. The scene in the kitchen was intense.

C'mon - it's at least TNG! So "Make it so" Little meep.meep hasn't seen much of the season. She was underwhelmed with everyone. Danica - "she should sing Adele" Me - "that's just because of the hair, she should sing Aretha" She was greatly perplexed by Taylor three names - "this is singing?" I don't think I've ever seen an episode of The Voice where I didn't end up singing one, or more, of the songs over and over that evening. Last night - nothing. Barrels have been scraped. Although, it should be counted as a triumph that Christina remembered to wear pants.

It's particularly absent in the part of California (about an hour north of San Francisco) that this is supposed to be set in. But then, everything else is wrong so why should this be any different.

Maybe she needs to feel Nick's nose? He doesn't have a tail to wag.I think Juliette has a perfect right to hold an opinion that might differ from Nick's. Him being a Grimm has affected her own life, and not for the better. I don't want to watch a comic book show -that's why the Adaline in Europe stuff is so dumb. And somebody please talk to Wu!

I loved Fabio's. It would have been great for Justin to get to describe his print to the judge. Couldn't see how Helen's model was keeping the dress over her breasts. At a party it would have been a disaster! On her season Korrs always called her out for the crippling sleeves.

I admit that I haven't seen the commercial, but it is fiction not reality. Nobody's stuff really got hurt. However, after watching my beloved football team on TV yesterday, coupled with watching Walking Dead and Talking Dead that night, if I have to see another video game commercial, I might be tempted to employ her tactics.

It was the plastic bottles that she hung out the window, I assume to collect water. I think the setup at the hospital is pretty good for survival. Several secure floors, the roof top garden for growing food and space to put out big water collectors, enough personnel to go on foraging runs for other stuff, even eating the guinea pigs for meat. I got a real Heavens Gate vibe from the "camping" walkers - like they all committed suicide not realizing that they would come back even if they weren't bit.

So, if Tazneen is the one running the plot, she's managed to remove two heads of station in Islamabad. Who does she want in that position? The ambassador wanted Quin.

I think the last All Stars got like 3 days for their "collection." This is all about getting the big bucks, there's no illusion that they are really making a collection of clothes. I hated Dimitri's dress - Michelle has him pegged right. And I'm so tired of his petty THs. Isn't the chorus of gasps from the designers everytime Alyssa appears, just recognition that she's still pregnant. It's getting to that Generalissimio Francisco Franco is still dead stage.

Katie's dish also had the redeeming characteristic of being pretty cheap. Since the budget was split across the entire team, that helped out the other chefs. Aaron's dish used meat (pork for the meatballs) and seafood (scallop noodles). No one has ever liked scallop noodles when they've been served on Top Chef. And apparently his meatball was dreadful. He lost, or she beat him, whatever perspective you put on it. Maybe now that there's only 1 contestant whose name starts with an A, that I can remember it. Adam, not Andrew damnit.

The eyeball! Mega yuck! When everyone else has purse dogs, it becomes ginormous! In the first season it would just suddenly appear out of nowhere, and it was very large for something appearing out of nowhere. Having owned labs, I'm always amazed at how calm these dogs are.

She is the worst spy ever - because she is a forensic accountant. Why is she even here?

If they were bound and determined to have the Jersey Shore girls as judges, this was the right challenge. Elie Tahari should be the guest judge on every episode - he's gentle to the designers, but not afraid to express his opinions. Justin deserved the win 100%. It was the black cords that made it distinct from his pipette dress. Which was a copy of his drinking straw dress from earlier in the season. And my mother had one of those standing yardstick chalk puffer things too! Maybe we should start a club.

And right away. No waiting to see if it can sustain the high or if it gets better.

I thought he made a comment about drinking some herbal tea to them. As in mellow out. Each team had to make an antipasto, a pasta, and a secundo (main) course. Not one team really made antipasto - they made salads or they made hot appetizers. Weren't they dependent on what was available in the kitchen to cook, or did they get to order food? I think purple was forced to use frozen peas, if they wanted to use peas, for example. Why didn't any of them make tapas for the bar snack?

But true fan players have quit. There's no guarantee. This was the most calculated quit I've ever seen. She wan't sick, she had had one bad night. Why not ask to be voted out? Cooking the crab - you don't kill them before you boil them either. Sorry. The tender hearted sometimes put them in the freezer first. Not an option here.

I bet that Blake's going to have Craig sing Toby Keith songs during the live rounds. Just like he did with Danielle and Pam Tillis songs. And one of his knockout battles was Dixie Chick vs Dixie Chick.

I'm happy to let the show take me on a long slow ride to wherever it's going. It's the mysteries that keep you hooked. So why did Alison come back and find him on the island? She had stomped off onto the ferry to Connecticut, he wanders around town for an hour or two, then she turns up in the shop. Did someone make her come back? She doesn't look very happy, ever, in her recollection. Having her literally looking into a mirror when the sex mirrors what she had with her husband seemed like a cheap move. The shirt he buys to replace the coffee stained one is the exact color of the shirt he wears in the interrogation, but that's not a button down.
