The ECMO scene was really well done…it used to be a huge machine that you had to prime with a lot of blood, so to see the new way was amazing.

Doctors do take per diem shifts in ERs, but Abbott was staff, so he wouldn’t have an outside practice…there’s just not enough time.

Since when is gazpacho Italian?

Sometimes when I watch these shows where everyone runs toward danger I think they’re all too stupid to live.

Two things about Dylan’s cake…how did he get lumps of flour in the batter? Did he not sift the dry ingredients? Also, not to be nitpicky, but….Murano is the glassblower’s island, and Burano is the one with all the colored houses. They’re both absolutely cool and unique, well worth a visit!

Kind of disappointed to be spoiled in the US on Instagram. I’ve stayed away from this forum until Friday afternoons.

Yeah, the right person went home!

I have hemochromatosis. The reason you are discouraged from eating raw fish is because of a gram positive bacteria called vibrio that can show up in raw shellfish (especially oysters), raw fish, and in sea water (where it can infect you through an open wound). Everyone is susceptible to the infection, but most people just get fever/vomiting. If you have hemochromatosis, you *may* develop sepsis. It's very rare to do that. And if you let the ER staff know that you have hemochromatosis, they'll give you prophylactic antibiotics to head off the sepsis. I eat sushi and walk on the beach.

I noticed that the empanada truck was using premade wrappers…no more dough drama, I guess, so there had to be relationship drama again. One long loose hair offender is gone, can’t wait for the others. I can’t believe Tyler never says anything about that! But he was right to call them out on prices this week…they should just put a $15 top limit on prices. I’m in Boston, and that’s the most I’ve ever paid at a food truck.

Plates guy going on and on about hygiene and food safety while his partner had all that hair hanging in the food. I can’t wait for one of the customers to pull a long black hair out of a sandwich.

Ty’s team’s house was just bad. All those raw door jambs and baseboards next to the dark walls looked cheap. Ugh. Alison’s team was so inefficient, and took so much of her (bad) advice. I like Taniya the most, so I was glad her team won, but I also think they did the best job (aside from that dumb cold plunge wooden tub).

Very true, but I don't think anyone who does one of these Bravo cruises is very rich. Comfortable, but not rich. Just judging by their luggage and their clothes. :)

I think I read once that when they do things like move plumbing around, it's not really done in the 7 days, they just have unplumbed faucets/toilets/showers as stand-ins. All I could think of when I saw Alison's "stone" was how filthy it would be because it would be impossible to clean without scaffolding!

First episode: HATED the winning kitchen, and why did Alison’s mentees close up the windows to the beach? That was the whole reason they moved the kitchen, and they were left with that narrow view of the ocean? Of course that horrible fake stone should have been thrown away when it arrived. I liked Tanya’s couples kitchen the best.

Re Michelle's biscuits...why didn't she cut them into rounds before she cooked them? They would have cooked faster and she could have fit them into her mosaic idea, sort of. Or at least cut them into squares. Part of the charm of a biscuit is the edges.
