S12.E08: Guilty Pleasures Dinner

From the interview with Erin on the FN site:

Quote

Which element of the competition were you least expecting, be it good or bad?
EC: The least expected positive thing that happened — ‘cause I like, I honestly do like, to try to stay positive. It’s been my life motto forever: Stay positive — was just meeting so many actual goodhearted people. Like, not all contestants are fabulously golden-hearted people. I wish that I could say that all 13 were, but I can’t, but of the 13, there are eight of us who’re just genuine, golden-hearted, epic-to-the-bone people that I will be friends with for years and years and years to come. So, meeting those people and forming quick relationships that I feel are going to be lasting relationships — because we’ve been through so much stress together already. You know, we’ve been through more stress than most mature friendships have gone through. So, I think that we’re past the bumps in the road at this point, and I’m excited to see what life has in store for all of us.

Makes me wonder which are the eight, and which are the 5

Erin doomed herself twice over with her big yap:

First, when she over-sold the "chocolate" elements of her dessert.

And after, mouthing off to Bobby, as if  "I've sold thousands, THOUSANDS!" was relevant to the task at hand.

I'll bet the judges were hoping for some decadent chocolate cake.

I actually thought saying that she's sold thousands emphasized that it isn't really a guilty pleasure or decadent.

Most people haven't had a home baked chocolate chip cookie in ages...so if she makes an average one I am sure she sells a lot....people eat these nasty butter cookies or sugar cookies with what I am pretty sure is plastic frosting at most bakeries in my town.

I always use 2 kinds of chocolate chips (sometimes more) in my cookies and I have a recipe for a 7 year old (nephew) with a peanut allergy that would have knocked that weird cookie muffin she put out there.

We probably have different expectations for someone who was born, raised and educated here. Although given what we see on TV every day, I don't know why.

If Erin had one had gotten her own show, I was worried that it would start an epidemic of people using "Smidgens!" as an all-purpose interjection.

Ok.  I've come to the unpopular conclusion that I want Ana to win.  Not that I think she will have the best show, but I do find her attitude to be the most refreshing of all the contestants left.  Plus, she appears to at least know how to prepare interesting, tasty, and new-to-me recipes.  I also enjoy her very dry sense of humor -- which I too have been accused of having.  I also give her mad props for taking the dessert course and wanting to push herself.  A sharp contrast to Erin pushing herself by making a cookie that she makes daily and help pay her bills.  Plus, I made the same facial reaction as Ana when Erin claimed her guilty pleasure decadent desert was going to be an after school snack.

Tregaye will probably win though. 

Erin's meltdown was oddly rewarding.  She frustrated me so much at the judges table, but its refreshing to know that there is some other emotions buried underneath the facade of constant peppiness.  But as a baker, how does she get off calling whatever she made a cookie?  I have never seen a cookie that had to be baked in muffin tin.  Maybe that was Erin using another hack.

Jernard is beginning to strike me as someone who tries to hard to prove how heterosexual he is.  Ironically Valerie B. told Penny to not mention sexiness when she should just exude it naturally, but this doesn't seem to apply to Jernard as the love chef.  His speaking, even in jest, about having more children with the judges after his aphrodisiac entree was a bit disgusting.

Domiano is cute and all, but I really want to see him de-Vanilla Ice his hair.

ETA:  Fantastic shade cast by the Food Network Star editors at the very end with Erin proclaiming that we will see her smiling face again -- followed by her coldly slamming the door on the way out while the other contestants stand awkwardly.  Perfection. 

I am too. I mean, it's not like we're ever actually going to have to watch a show with the winner. That doesn't happen anymore. so let's let Ana win because the rest are so damned annoying. 

Jernard, OY. OK see, if you're gonna call yourself the Love Chef, I want you to look like Idris Elba, not like Jernard. I'm not fatshaming. I'm a fat woman. But I'm not on tv saying I'm some kind of icon of sexy cheffing. You can be many things as a chubby chef, but a sex god? NOPE.

Thing is, most southerners who have come north tend to try to be more northern in their dialect.  However, as they keep going, the southern just comes out and their accent get stronger.  On Grocery games, she was only on for one episode but here, she is going to bee seen reverting to her southern roots as she goes though the series of episodes.  It has nothing to do with stereotypes but orientation.

But Tregaye is from Philly, not the south. She lives there now, but..well, yeah.

That's the way a lot of people seem to say it, but in Italian it should be just JAH-dah. The "i" isn't pronounced; it's just there to get the G to make a J sound (there's no J in Italian.) Like "Giovanni" should be joe-VON-ee, not gee-oh-VON-nee.

OK, Italian lesson over. (I won't try to explain why Giada says "spah-GITT-ee.")

Oh, I know! I'm Italian (Italian-American) too. I grew up on a street with a bunch of Italian immigrants.  Her pronunciation is hilarious - hilariously bad. 

I think Giada's pronunciation is like someone gave her the Italian Hooked on Phonics book. None of her family uses the same pronunciation! 

In a way, it fits perfectly with this show. She's a caricature of an Italian American. Hey, Giada? It's not "ri-cot-ta", all hard like that. Soften up those consonants, darlin'!

Erin was the right one to go.  I'm surprised she made it to the final five really.  Somehow I think if she had made the cookie the way Bobby said she would have been dinged for it being too sweet...  Jernard would be great to watch if he stopped with the whole Love Chef crap.

I guess since Giada got her Dom last season Bobby gets his Ana this one.  I look at Dom and Ana the same.  Weren't good on camera but yet outlasted someone else.

Good to know.  There's a "Paglia's" restaurant in my town and it took a long time for me to figure out the 'g' is silent, even though I knew to leave it out of Pagliacci, the opera.

Lots of 'g' rules in Italian.

Somehow Erin's outburst reminded me of PMS.  It seemed a little over the top in a way that I can only remember PMS making me get.  Like hypersensitivity to the max and out of character.  Stress magnified it.  She probably really regretted that later.

I've been thinking this for weeks but it's getting to me now.  I really believe Ms. poppin' fleek has studied Eddie Murphy's delivery and is at times attempting to imitate it.  She can imitate him all she wants, she's no Eddie.

Jernaud's apology was sincere but dude should have known better in front of those two women.  Trisha Yearwood especially.

Damiano is growing on me a little bit but that doesn't mean I have much interest in him.  At least he seems sincere.  What he did to try to improve Erin's dessert was quite nice of him.

Ana is like a horror movie monster that just keeps coming back from the dead.  Please, someone stop the insanity!  I really feel that Bobby has a thing for her.   It was on his face and there's no denying it.  For whatever reason he likes her.  Probably thinking with the little head.  Who knows why, but he may just have a fantasy attraction with her.

I think she thought that cookie would be praised to the high heavens.  She really expected them to say it was the best cookie they have ever tasted.  It's not that they hated the cookie, it just did not fit the challenge.

Jernard's presentation was over the top. However, that's exactly what the judges have been praising him for and asking him to do more of.

I appreciate his apology, but did Jernard imply he might impregnate Alex and Trisha after they eat his meal?  When Bobby said that he had nine children, Jernard said he might have two more after the meal was over.  It stopped Jahdah (spelling it phonetically) right in the middle of her joker faced donkey laugh.

If he does not make it on this show he should change his name from "Love Chef" to "Chubby Thunder" and become a male stripper who specializes in old school nineties dance moves.

I could see Jadah and Tregaye in his audience, "Go Chubby Thunder...get that dollar".

I have to say, I'm very sympathetic toward Erin, because nothing makes me madder than being criticized for something I think is a professional strength. Now, I've learned how to just eat it and not show how pissed I am, but I get it. She did the thing she was 100% confident in, after weeks of trying stuff she was less sure of, and was totally unprepared for them not to swoon.

I could tell pretty early on in the show that Erin would be the one to go because of the editing. However, they threw a weak red herring when Damiano was struggling with his pasta.

The way I see it, Erin should be grateful that she went out when she did. She remained competitive for a respectable amount of time. She's already won $50,000 in the Holiday Baking Championship. I think that's a way better reward than winning FNS. There is no guarantee that the winner will get a show of any duration and IF she'd won, the odds are slim to none, that baking would be the culinary POV, so who cares?

That said, she should have kept her mouth shut when Bobby was critiquing her dessert. But really? "Enough chocolate where I would feel pimples?" /eyeroll. I also agree that she should have chosen a different dessert. She made way more creative desserts on the competition show she won.

I'm not any particular fan of hers, just saying that for a baker, I think she's already won the equivalent of FNS. The next logical step for her I guess would be Cupcake Wars of Cake Wars. (If she hasn't already been on those shows.)

I wish that Tregaye would screw up in the coming weeks and go home. I just can't with her, especially with the bitchy THs. I guess she must feel really threatened by Ana. I thought I actually saw Bobby blush during one of his discussions with Ana. Yep. I agree. She's this year's Dom.

I was at least glad to see Alex as a judge. I didn't think Trish added that much. Her own show is pretty lightweight. I could only stand to watch it a few times. It seems like this year's judges are about 50% entertainers of some type. Maybe to weigh in on the camera-readiness? Maybe Patricia Heaton will show up next week. /eyeroll.

This pathetic bunch of hacks just keeps getting worse. 

Isaac Hayes wannabe was cringeworthy, and produced a gloppy mess along with a mess of a presentation.

Guido Sarducci miraculously gets the softball pasta dish, which after butchering the dough, somehow manages to then produce perfect dough. Unfortunately, his rapid fire, heavily accented presentation needed subtitles. I don't think I understood more than 3 words of his speech, and I grew up with many off the boat Italian relatves. His talking heads also reveal an arrogant nasty side of him. 

No matter how good Ana is at cooking, and I think her skills are debatable contrary to what we are told, she is still awful in a live setting, and is very uncomfortable to watch. She was visibly shaking during her presentation. Flay is an embarassment with his googly eyes towards her and defending her awful performances week after week. Almost as embarassing as Giada with her phony smile and caressing of Flay.

Tregaye dialed down the female stepin fetchit this week, but just barely. She has the most potential of a very weak bunch, but needs to drop the black clown routine if she wants to appeal to a mass market. 

Fluffy the Baker produced what looked like an Olive Garden level dessert. That was not a cookie, and I should know, as I have wolfed down quite a few cookies in my time. At the start of this episode I told my wife that she and Tregaye were my guesses for finalists, and then she ruined my prediction with her indignant response to some minor, valid criticism. This were her chance to shine, getting the softball dessert category, and she produced generic garbage that didn't even match her description. But hey, she once won Spring Baking Championship!!!! 

Depending on who the second chance winner is, this is a terrible bunch of finalists for the coveted prize of being a future guest judge on Guys Grocery Games.

Also, did anyone watch the judges tasting the food? Alex, Flay, and Trisha took real forkfuls of food and actually tasted it. Giada was shown a couple of times with a tiny sliver of food on her fork, which in no way would have been enough to provide a taste sample. Several times it appeared she didn't even taste the small sliver.

Damiano didn't have any choice but to do pasta - he was the last to pick and only pasta was available to him.

Also, has anyone ascertained whether that is really how he normally speaks?

I used to like him but I'm now sick of how negative he is about what he is asked to cook.  He's on an American cooking show for goodness sake.  I have appreciated he eye-rolling at the stupidity of some of the challenges.  But to complain that he doesn't know what an enchilada is is ridiculous.  He should watch the Great British Baking show (everyone should actually!) and see how knowledgeable 20 (?) old Flora is about the baking of different countries/cultures.

I took one for the team on a brief rewatch.  Fusion on Fleek took seafood.  Ana took dessert.  Erin then chose appetizer.  That left Damiano with a choice of pasta or entree...he chose pasta.  Which left jernard with entree to butterfly on the inside.  Fusion on Fleek then used her advantage to switch Ana to appetizer where she made 3 heavy carb laden sammies and Erin went to dessert...where she created the most luscious, decadent chocolate chocolate chocolate dessert of....a molded pan blondie.

Even though Guido Sarducci had a choice between entree and pasta, does anyone really think the sleections were not preordained by the producers, including the switcheroo?

Even if he did not know what type of enchilada he had to make, which is doubtful, every single week he is shown whining about the challenge requirements and/or ingredients. He usually just ignores the challenge rules, and gets a pass from his future sugar momma.

Hokay, I'll see myself out now....

I'm sure you will be on fleek every time you wear it.

Jernard's presentation made the judges uncomfortable and his food was bad.  Why is he still there?

My guess... Erin sassed them... and Jernard apologized.

The fix is in for Ana! I'm sure of it. I thought her presentations were awful tonight too.

Umm... I don't know, I think the fix is in for the Italian dude. Maybe it will come down to him and Ana. But, Giada gets the biggest grin on her face whenever he's making a presentation. Seems he can do no wrong, even when he does (like forgetting the names of ingredients).

I don't know why.. but I feel like when no one is around he speaks with the perfect English accent. LOL! Like when I was a kid I sometimes suspected the super-nice emcee for one of my favorite Game Shows might be a really very mean and nasty behind the scenes. Heh! :-)
