I just saw the cheese episode that was on before the Teen episode and I'm trying to understand their casting decisions. The first guy chopped was from Vietnam and therefore wasn't really a "cheese guy" and the second guy chopped initially said that even though he is a big guy, he's not really into cheese (that could have been a joke). Why would they put at least 1 chef who doesn't really "do cheese" in a Cheese Themed episode? Why didn't they just go ahead and make sure to cast lactose intolerant chefs in the other spots?? Who were the 2 judges who weren't Amanda?

Being right has never felt more disappointing. But then I guess the end of this show was the truest to what real life would be like?

I won't be able to watch the show until tonight. It is so hard to not look at the story/comments about last night's episode. I'm dying to know if I'm right about the financial planner guy (Michael Tribbiani??), but I also don't know if I want to know. Honestly trying to keep from reading spoilers is a full time job right now.

Two ideas/theories have been bouncing around in my head, I'm not sure where to put either. I haven't seen and know nothing about the BBC original except that it exists. 1. Since we're STILL getting close-ups of Stone's feet, I feel like he's going to have a huge Billy Flynn moment in the courtroom (see also: "Razzle Dazzle"). 2. I think it is the financial planner/wealth management guy. And here is why: - When Andrea's mom died and he got to spend time with Andrea, he fell for her; - Maybe he called or something prior to her getting in the cab and she's like "I'm just not into you, but thanks for all your help," something like that; - He goes to her place to try to talk her into being into him, but sees her with Naz and falls into a blind rage and kills her. - He's played by a recognizable actor ("Joey" and "Royal Pains") and why would they put a recognizable actor in a role like that if it isn't going to pay off

My boyfriend and I just started watching this show a month or so ago On Demand. We are in Season 4 right now, we watched the 5th episode last night. This whole Senate run is horseshit. So far I feel like this season is like an alternate universe where everything we know about these characters and their personalities has been erased, except Bill -- he's just a dickhole infection (really DON'T like him). Nikki would never act like that, Barb is suddenly a doormat, Margie -- she's allowed to grow up (and not just because I love her to pieces), Tancy got a new face... I would watch a show that was just Bill's mom though. Boyfriend that she is me from the future.

I do hope the eczema stuff has a big pay off in the end though. I'm not sure what that could even possibly be, maybe it will be the first Skin Condition TO Win An Emmy.

Re: Glenne Headly Boyfriend: What is she from? Me: That Lindsay Lohan movie. Boyfriend: I've never seen a Lindsay Lohan movie. Me: You really should; Mean Girls is great. Boyfriend: I'm never watching a Lindsay Lohan movie. And now I remember she was that one competent doctor in ER. Oops.

This just occurred to me on my way into work, but prisoners would probably do really well with all of the mystery ingredients. Maybe they could do a cross-over show with Lockup on MSNBC!

I'm Jewish(ish) and every single time the Rabbi spoke I was like, "This is why people hate us." Does he realize he's not 80 years old? I decided I only like when actual chefs compete and there isn't a weird gimmick, but I don't like when one of the chef's can't taste an ingredient for some reason. Aren't there forms they have to fill out within the casting process? I'm sure that chef's with some specific food allergy can be moved to a different episode.

I adore this! Tonight I may tell my cats, "Tonight I have for you a play on Iams Mature Adult Hairball Care because I bought the wrong thing. I realize it is (probably) missing an ingredient and you are professional cats, but I don't think you'll notice."

I just recently started watching Chopped (my cooking can best be described as "chemical warfare," but I recently made a pot of edible chile so I'm all about Food Network now). Is it REQUIRED that all contestants introduce their food with the same basic stilted sentence "I made for you today..."/"Today I made for you..."? Even the kids use that sentence! Also I automatically root against anyone who says "flavor profile" or who cooks for celebrities and name drops.

I thought I saw Zach Woods in the lobby of my office earlier today, but then realized that the person I was looking at was normal human height. :)

An update: It is nearly 8 months later and the can of duster is still untouched on the same location of my desk. Maybe I'm a hoarder?? ;)

Yeah...I thought maybe he hadn't seen the show before either, enough to understand that there would definitely be a naked lady. But when he said "flaming homosexual," I shouted "stop, drop and roll." Now I realize I could have made a much funnier fire-starter joke and that this is probably why The Boyfriend has stopped watching with me. :)

I really liked when the guy from the Amazon episode (Jake??) said something to the effect that if you had told him there would be a naked lady sitting on his shoulders a month ago...then he made the most disgusted face and I have been trying to perfect. Hopefully on the extended or whatever version of the episode next Sunday before the new episode we can learn a little more about his "possible malaria" he mentioned during the end credits. I was kind of worried that the girl in the episode (Muffy?? She seemed like a Muffy) had never seen the show before when she was so certain, and so let down, that they did not create their own paradise.

So glad Tara watches this show so I don't have to. :)

He reminded me of Austin from the last summer's Big Brother. I actually came up with 10 reasons why I didn't like him, but I am going to take ClareWalks advice and watch a couple other episodes.

No, really how did Seth manage to got get his beard covered in puke? This was the first episode I watched, but do the trainers usually lay down on a mat during the To Fat part while coaching their regular clients?

...that time at the beginning of the episode when Chalese said she's "only out to [her] friends," and I felt like explaining how TV shows work.

Am I the only person on the planet who doesn't find Larry David funny? Like, at all?? I want to find him funny because everyone always talks about how great he is, but he just reminds me of my relatives I only see sporadically For A Reason. I liked Weekend Update so that was refreshing! :)

Was grumpy kid running the camera? I just really like that Ron Glassman got to speak!

I've been thinking about this episode way, way more than is probably advisable. I'm okay with all the messed lines, bad camera work, etc. because the big joke was that The Sweater was that it was the same sweater Kim Davis wore to the SOTU (and that Weezer wold be there and NOT SING THE SWEATHER SONG). So they only had 72ish hrs to put together a show, with dance-off and Ron Glassman getting actual lines. Am I way off base? Seriously I spent at least 2 hours yesterday morning thinking about it.

This face though! (Someone get me through to L&O casting!!!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorma_Taccone

Dude! Jorma Taccone

I sobbed so uncontrollably during When We Were Young that my neighbor knocked on my door to make sure I'm okay. I started crying again just typing the title of that song.
