I hoped against hope that when Maggie went on the helicopter ride it was foreshadowing that there'd be a crash and she'd die. Ugh. ETA: I posted the above while I was watching, before the declaration. Double ugh. I cannot stand the thought of Maggie and the pilot's mooning over each other every episode. I gave up on this series once. I should have quit while I was still only halfway behind, so to speak.

Hang on, what's going on? My market has only shown up to Ep 5, and according to the Food Network site, Eps 6 and 7 (with Brooke) are "upcoming ".

Anybody want to join me in a drinking game? Every time Mika mentions Cuba/Cuban, take a shot of rum and a puff on a cigar.

Thanks for articulating this so well; I agree completely. Do you know the Top Chef offshoot "The Dish with Kish"? Marcel was on an episode recently and I found him to be pretty delightful.

If you have Netflix, there's a documentary full of them about the French Pastry Academy in Las Vegas. It's about a truly extraordinary French patissier with a fabulous accent. The Netflix show is called School of Chocolate.

I really liked Alex all the way through and wanted him to win (though I knew he wouldn't, being French), but I felt he should have been sent home for his entremet. Duff's face when he took a bite was basically, "What the ever-loving hell is this?" And they all looked sad about it. Later Duff said something about it being terrible - "it" being the whole thing. Their complaint with Nickey's was that the sponge hadn't been soaked, ie, just one part of the entremet.

I couldn't pay attention to anything Erin said because she looks completely different. Anybody else think she's been under the knife?

You're welcome! (I'd never heard of glyphosate before your post; is it usually listed?)

Maybe she, like many in the public eye, doesn't go on social media for her own self-preservation.

It appears I'm officially old. 😂

DONESO? Serviced is a little unfortunate given the context.

Those I can manage, but not the ones for shows I don't watch. No idea what PVR SNL is.

People who post without punctuation.

Sorry Michelle, soigne doesn't mean what you think it does. (Sorry, don't know how to the accent.)

People who assume we know what acronyms and initialisms are.

I think Bob's Red Mill is glyphosate-free.

Surely I'm not the only one who doesn't think charred is synonymous with burnt.

Can someone tell me when seasoned became synonymous with salty?

SMH?

What's an IP?

Prolly. Nuff said.
