Yeah family is complicated. I totally get Ava's dad bragging about her as if they had a good relationship. The backhanded compliments by Melissa's family... You can't choose your family.

While Gill did consistently better, her bakes are a lot simpler than the others. Even her basket was simpler. I think you have to take into account level of difficulty and adjust the scores accordingly. I liked Gill, but I think of the others, her bakes are the most basic.

Hmm, a show set in a city making too many references to that city? Why set it anywhere then? Why not set it in some midwest town that's not named? It would be a different show. Not one I would want to watch to be honest since there is no lack of shows that tell those stories. There is this city as text movement and I like that they do that here. It's like Law and Order where the silent character was NYC.

My 9yo doesnt know what wheel of fortune is or pat sajak. I am sure none of her friends do either. That wasn't a shock.

Although BB got the taste challenges, their food overall takes a lot longer to make. If WW was open for an hour or so before BB then they couldve made more than 1k in that time. Since both teams had to go to the store, BB would be even more behind since their food takes longer to prep. WW is primarily using pre made chicken so no multi-prep process, just really focus on the waffle. I was hoping for BB because I would actually want to eat their food and out of the two trucks they made most if not all things from scratch.

No More Waffles!!!! at least the teams all have cooking experience unlike some early seasons, and at least they are actually unlike the LA season.

I had a dream about Eric last week. It was crazy. Lol. I need to pick up some hobbies.

Eric has a new show, Wildcard Kitchen that is pretty fun. He has a very calm personality, but he needs someone to direct him during competitions. I felt that way in top chef when I was rooting for him. I think that was the season KBC won. I think Maneet knows how to play the game better. She leans into the randomizer more than most because she has judged a lot and knows what they are looking for.

I think Eric biffed it. He and Maneet tied in everything except for randomizer. A salad is not decadent! I don't know what he was thinking. He talked about decadent and high end, but dude, a salad is not decadent. I was rooting hard for him.

Our local public school is k-8 so that wasn't a surprise. My kid is at a charter school now, but there isnt a library, just books in the classroom that you can read, but not borrow. She was previously in a private school that had a library and a librarian and she was allowed to bring home books. I miss it.

I love Carla, so I don't mind her, Zakarian is just so prissy. He's always eating everything with chopsticks and he just seems so snooty. I can't stand him on Chopped. If he's on an episode with Martha Stewart, I have to turn it off.

I am just not a fan of zakarian.

I see tournament of champions five in my HBO Max, but whenever I click on it, it only shows the four seasons. This is so annoying.

Lisa? You mean Lara?

I would be offended by the 5 too. I think it reinforces the judging should really be done blind.
