If you watch the episode intro closely, they give away who makes to the dessert round. They really need to stop doing that. Setting that aside, I thought it was obvious who was getting chopped in the first two rounds because the judges only said bad things about one dish.

Wow, the only chef actually from Italy won the Italian cooking competition. Shocking

The New York Post is trash. If they ran a story that the sky was blue, I would question the existence of the sky and the color blue. There's bound to be more to this story.

I was unspoiled, but I thought that was insanely obvious. As soon as Jessie and Lee had the "What do you think?" conversation, all I could think was "Well gee, I wonder how the movie will end?"

I've enjoyed the first two episodes. I'm interested to see where it goes. I noticed the woman had a copy of "The Zombie Survival Guide" on her bookshelf. Or a lawyer friendly version anyway. Also, I looked it up and Manga spoilers:

"This thick cut bacon is thicker than regular bacon" That's some brilliant analysis there, Maneet.

I haven't seen Kevin Smith in a while. He looks really good!

I know it's probably the editing as the judging takes a couple of hours, but sometimes it really does seem like they are looking for a reason to get rid of somebody. I mentioned this last week, but it continues to amuse me that for all "You could win $75000!", the total after 3 episodes is only $3000 higher than 3 normal episodes.

1. I've always thought "You know what this show needs? More people commenting on what each chef is doing." 2. I completely agree that this format is stupid. There is absolutely no benefit to being in the early rounds. It would have made sense if the winner of each round gets 1/5 of the final pot. So there would be an advantage to being in the competition longer. I did the math, .25^x, to determine their chances of winning, first round has a 0.098%, second round has a 0.39%, third round 1.56%, fourth 6.25%, and fifth obviously a 25%. Edit: I just finished watching the second episode and I think it's funny that for all emphasis on spinning the wheel, the total is only $1000 higher than two regular episodes.

I thought this was the weakest episode of the week. Greenfield seemed like he didn't even want to be there and I found Hoffman to be obnoxious. Overall, I'm liking the show. I think Taylor is doing a good job as host. I will say that don't know if the show needs to be an hour long. I think it can start to drag at times, but I'm going to stick with it for now.

It seems like they are not naming a host and are going to be relying the correspondents to carry the show for the time being. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/comedy-central-daily-show-host-no-choice-correspondents-1235879076/

Alvin lived. Zooey mentioned he's on a morphine drip and what's her face said how he nearly bounced into eternity. So, is Sarah Levy busy on something else? Did she sign on to another project during the period the show cancelled or is she taking some time off because she had a baby?

Right? That was a lot of blood. Although four went missing and only 3 were shown at the end. According to this article, there are 10 episodes this season.

There was a quick line about how she would only allow Joshua to kill her. The implication being she was deactivating any weapon they tried to use to kill her. Now why they couldn't just bash her head in with a sledgehammer or an axe or something. I thought visually the movie was excellent, but the story was very cliche. I also felt it was very poorly edited. I thought there were times that left me wondering "Wait, how did they get from where they were to where they are now?" And there were other times where I thought scenes could have trimmed. Also, one of the largest cities in the US is attacked. In response the US goes to war against an enemy that is being sheltered and supported by East Asian governments. Combat is asymmetrical, relying heavily on special forces raids and drone strikes with blase attitude towards collateral damage. I can't imagine what that could possibly be an allegory to.

No, she lost. Matthew won. I do agree that this was not the greatest group of chefs.
