So we think Swapnil's is the one with the nosering to earring models?

I think she has to pee...

Maybe so, but I thought Ashley was very clear and well-spoken in her first talking head she said (in so many words) "Okay, I had a bit of a pity party over the group thing but time to put on the big girl panties and get back to work." I don't see her as wallowing in "poor me" at all, just that she got knocked off-balance, reacted emotionally and then shook it off and moved past it.

I saw one take a direct hit.

By "bridal" I really think he meant "wedding night" rather than underwear for a wedding dress. Still, awfully complicated and not that well executed. One of the first times I haven't thought Swapnil should have won the challenge. Glad he made it to the top 3 again though.

It definitely looks better on the website with a few changes made to the way the cups were secured, but it still won't work on any woman with breasts. I notice it only comes in S, M, and L on the site. So if you need to specify a cup size you're SOL.

I've been leaning toward gay, but then my wishful thinking pops up. Whichever gender gets him (maybe both?) is lucky. Besides being hot, he seems sweet and funny.

So what's the consensus? Gay or straight?

No one with breasts could ever wear Merline's "bra." Ugh. I can't believe they actually aufed Blake. I was certain Tim would save him too, but nope. PR finally managed to surprise me. (Guilty confession: he's annoying as hell but the workroom and show will be a little less interesting with him gone).

He was also a little pervy about the way the female judge bit into his burger in round 2...

Lenny is on Guy's Grocery Games right now and creeping me the hell out.

Saw my first commercial for BBQ Blitz today when I was watching Sunday's episode of The Great Food Truck race online. Eddie looked adorable, and maybe a tiny bit uncomfortable/nervous, but I could have been projecting. Can't wait!

Ding Dong, the Spice Moms are gone! I hated that "you won with crap I make when I don't care about cooking" BS. Obviously it was better than what you made when you *did* care, so... I was a little unnerved when Postcards dad just drove away without a note until it became clear he knew it was all on camera and that he wasn't stiffing anyone. He just left it for the producers to figure out so he could go start selling. That said, I'm glad the show fined him in addition to making him cover the deductible. It's important to model the right thing to do. I'm also glad the $500 didn't knock them out of the competition. Thank you for sending me down the rabbit hole to this: http://www.seriouseats.com/tags/will%20it%20waffle

I think the fact that Kelly, Lindsey and Amanda ALL picked Ashley's as worst (when it clearly wasn't) is pretty strong evidence. And I'm convinced that had Kelly Osbourne not interrupted with "can I say something..." Right before Candice's turn, she'd have chosen Ashley too. Yes, Ashley needs to have a thicker skin, but as a fellow person "of size" I can tell you that the little slights come often enough and most of the the time you suck it up, put on a smile and and move on. You have to or you'd be a walking pity party. But when things are going well and you're feeling good about yourself, and you get hit from out of the blue with a reminder that you're not quite like everyone else, it can hit that much harder. So I get it. Ashley had won twice, once with Candice. She'd never once been in the bottom or had any problems working with anyone. She had to watch not only Candice pick someone other than her over and over, but the other team as well until she was the only one left. It obviously wasn't about her abilities; it had to be something about her personally. So I understand why she felt gut-kicked. Yes, someone had to be chosen last, but wouldn't you think it would be someone who had been in the bottom, or shown poor construction skills, or had difficulty working with others? Laurie, *might* be a busy body. Time will tell if she was being honest when she said she didn't like to gossip. But I appreciate her giving Ashley a heads up about what the mean girls were planning, rather than for her to just hear her name over and over on the runway with no warning. Speaking of "mean girls," here's words I never thought I'd say: You go, Blake!! I couldn't believe how well and how strongly he spoke up at the end. My guess is he's had his own experiences with cliquey types back in high school in Ohio. I'm going to give him another chance not to piss me off :) And who does Swapnil have to sleep with to win a challenge?? I volunteer.

I was being sarcastic ;)

Lenny who?

The Spice Girls can go home any time now. The Mommy martyr schtick got old in the first episode. Now when they start it I zone out and try to figure out how many plastic surgeries the one woman has had -- Miss "I voted us the best curry in America. Isn't that funny?" No, it's not. Go home. I want to like the waffle boys. They're so earnest and wholesome and Adam Devine-like and I totally expect them to bust out into "Hello! My name is Elder Waffle...." at any minute. But I just don't like them. Maybe because they're so earnest and wholesome and maybe because they seem to be selling an obscene amount of waffles and it doesn't seem like the others can compete. At this point I'm rooting for the Pho-nominal girls, maybe because they're barely scraping by each time. I like the Postcards people too, though, so I'm willing to switch allegiances.

nm :) Found it

Eddie's been posting pics on Facebook today from shooting BBQ Blitz. I still don't love the concept, but he seems really happy. https://www.facebook.com/MC4Eddie

Five hours? Give 'em 45 minutes like the rest of the rabble ;)

I wonder if there's any chance FN will improve after she leaves?

Oh, I think he is. A drop of blood (or even a lot of it, which there wasn't) wouldn't even have shown on the black fabric. And if it had, he would have just snipped off the area with the stain. The entire neckline of the dress was unfinished. The blood was just a convenient scapegoat.

I don't normally yell at my TV but when Blake won, I let loose a torrent of abuse that was colorful, profane and filled with compound words. What. The. Fuck. She looked like she climbed out of a pup tent, got tangled up in it and tried to cut herself out with jagged scissors befor giving up. The fuck, judges? Swapnil, come sit next to me and I'll make it all better.

The diners aren't always paid. When Food truck Race came to Mobile, AL last season there were articles in the paper and on bits on local news about the filming and people were encouraged to go down and order from the trucks, but (to my knowledge) no one was paid to be a diner.

Ugh. Gross.
