    Is Melissa D'Arabian always a terrible bitch judge?

     

    The simple answer, yes.   

     

    What I can't understand is the contestants in two of the rounds, while cooking proteins of exactly the same size for the same amount of time, some of the dishes were undercooked and some cooked perfectly.  How does that happen?

    And if they combined it with the new wave of nakedness (naked real estate, naked survival, naked dating...), well...that might actually pull in shallow viewers like me.

     

    Coming soon on Food Network: Completely Naked Chefs

  3. Final Four: Rochelle Bergman, Scott Commings, Melanie Finch and Jason Zepaltas are challenged to recreate a dish using only a taste test.  Hard work for the losers (as usual).

     

    Chef Ramsey uses the words "stunning" and "amazing" for the first time.

    Is this the first time they've had to build a fire to signal a truck for rescue?

     

    Did I miss something?  I thought they were picked up by a chopper on a road.

     

    What was with throwing the whole bird (feathers and all) into the fire?  Ever smell burning feathers?

    Sue makes the long journey back to Kavik with her new all-terrain vehicle; Kate and Andy's apprentice tries to survive on his own; Chip and Agnes' daughter sets traps by herself; and Glenn works on building up his wood stockpile for the winter season.

     

    On NatGeo.

  6. I realize that all "reality" shows have a little bit of fakery each episode.  I really don't mind that they are trying to amp up the drama.  So a couple of years ago, I started watching a show that featured "hidden" cameras, in a dining setting on Food Network.  Something seemed a little off. 

     

    So imagine my surprise when I was tipped off that the whole show is "Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake" to quote Elaine Benis.  The people who appear in the "hidden" camera segments are not patrons, but Actors.  Paid actors. 

     

    So "Mystery Diners" this is why I hate you with a thousand blazing suns.  You tried to decive me into thinking this was real.

    Bobby Flay  - who, I must acknowledge, I absolutely love - has acknowledged many times that he would not have survived/won a competition like this when he was starting out at FN. He also, a season or two ago, defended another mentor's protege (I think it was one of Alton's) by saying her on-camera presentation was far better than anything he did early on,

     

    I believe that was Lisa (Garza).

     

     

    And who cooks in high heels?

     

    Again, Lisa.

    I did see Justin for a second at the end of some Guy competiton.

     

    He was on Guy's Grocery Games and on Beat Bobby Flay.  So maybe Food Network is starting to warm to him (slightly). 

     

    I wonder if we'll ever get the true story.

     

    That's why I think this show is such a farce.  You crown a winner, and then do nothing with them.

     

    But the show is such a snarkfest.

    Nearby town?  She's miles and miles and miles from any town, isn't she?

     

    I agree.  She is miles and miles away (or so we're told), but I got this direct from the episode description.

     

    It also depends on your definition of "nearby".

     

  10. Are Martie and Chad competing in the competition or competing to come back in the competition?  Does this mean Martie and Chad will have to beat each other (and others) to re-enter?   And at what point does that person re-enter?

     

    I'm confused about this redemption competition.  Usually with other formats like this (Last Chance Kitchen) only the eliminated contestants compete against each other.

  11. I wonder why Sue doesn't keep some OTC med on hand just in case of an emergency.  Seems like she was ill prepared to handle this (if the fall wasn't staged).   And does the doctor just prescribe meds based on her phone call?

     

    I thought the bit about Glenn and the bear was a bit of a dud, and was just about stretching out the drama. 

     

    It was priceless to see Agnes beaming when she and her children finished the seal vest.  Nicely done.

  12.  

    Fucking love Agnes Hailsone's bleeps, and her whole fucking family

     

    This is the funniest part of the show.  I don't remember her swearing in earlier seasons, however. 

     

    Interesting that they're adding characters to the show.  Andy and Kate have Cody, and I wonder if they'll introduce some explorers to Sue's winter camp Kavik.

    Andy and Kate work on training the sled dogs; Sue worries about predators and fuel usage during an interlude of warmer weather; and the Hailstones are prevented fro ice fishing when the river fails to freeze over.
