50 Shades of MasterChef! Mafia

[caprice]

Hmm, either a '70s movie, or a movie set in the '70s.... Yeah, definitely not one we've watched together.

Speaking of the next Mafia game, we're ready to take sign-ups. Because I leave for the holidays on the 20th, this will have to be almost as fast as the Blackadder round was.

So, because I'm twisted and Drogo is in charge of GIFs, this round is... drumroll....

50 Shades of MasterChef!!

Boogie Nights was released in 1997, my movie is from the 90's as well.

I'm thinking of that scene in Stripes where Bill Murray tickles his girlfriend with an egg beater.

I thought she was sitting on the stove and he was using a spatula. What a funny movie that was... ?

Thanks for the pic, Bob!

This is going to be fun!!

I'm going to cut off sign-ups tomorrow at 2pm, Central.

[Oinky Boinky]

I intend to stun with my mise en place, a la minute, and charcuterie.  

[Drogo]

@Oinky Boinky we love when you talk dirty to us.

Mmmmm.... death by bacon!

[caprice]

Nine players? A couple more would make things easier, but I'm flexible.

@MarkHB, I'm totally going to find a way to work in "death by bacon."

I'm going to be in and out for travel plans for a while, so I'm going to give this one a pass. :|

[caprice]

Travel well, @Dougal. My own travel plans are why I want to make this a fast round.

[caprice]

I promise, I hadn't forgotten about this! My intrepid assistant has received the introductory story and (hopefully) is looking for appropriate GIFs to go with it.

PMs will be coming soon.

[caprice]

Some of you are being asked to provide me with a specialty or a secret ingredient. These do NOT have to pertain to your particular chef.

[MarkHB]

I got my PM!

[The Crazed Spruce]

As did I.

[Oinky Boinky]

Yes got my PM.

Introduction

Previously on 50 Shades Of Masterchef...  people signed up, babies were made, PM's were sent out!

                                                        

 

The studio kitchen was dimly lit and very quiet. A few production assistants were moving among the stations to make sure everything was in place. Another was nervously hurrying to a room behind the pantry, carrying two cups of coffee.

Inside that room, Gordon and Graham were discussing their pre-game strategy for dealing with the contestants in their first edition of Celebrity Master Chef. The grumpy Brit barked a brisk, "Enter!" at the sound of the PA bumping the door. He definitely needed his coffee.

"I don't know, Gordon," Graham mused. "It's not like we can really predict how alliances might form with this group. Since we've only been able to sign four women, we can't really go with Battle of the Sexes."

Gordon glared at the PA, sipped his coffee and snarled something about a lack of flavor in the bitter brew. The PA was too busy running from the room to hear it.

"Just as well, Graham... it's a tired trope anyway." He stood and mustered a grin. "I need to check something before they all get here. See you in make-up in fifteen minutes?"

The Day 1 story will be up when we're done doing the thing.  (Probably tonight.)

[The Crazed Spruce]

Someone spark the pilot light, 'cause we're cooking with gas now! :)

[Drogo]

                                                              

Day 1

It was time.

Graham had double-checked the pantry, Gordon had double-checked his gel, and the nervous PA double-checked the names at each cooking station. According to her orders, the rows would be three, two, three and two.

The back row had been assigned to Rachael Ray and Bobby Flay, mostly because Gordon didn't want to have to hear them as easily from the front of the room. In front of them, Padma Lakshmi would stand with Mario Batali and Guy Fieri.

Nigella Lawson and Emeril would be able to take over the second row while Giada, Curtis Stone and Wolfgang Puck were at the front of the room. Graham had managed to talk Gordon out of having an all-female front row, fortunately. He didn't think he'd be able to keep a straight face if the Brit never left the front row.  

                                                                          (She's talking about food, pervert.)

At last, the lights came on, the doors opened and the celebrity chefs entered the room to take their stations, whether or not they were ready.

Once Graham was through with the welcome, Gordon immediately barked, "Your first challenge is to create a stunning appetizer, featuring persimmons. You have one hour. Go!"

Guy was overheard muttering something that sounded like, "Gonna be hell, baby, gonna be hell."

                                                                          

 

There is 1 clue in the story.   6 votes are required for a lynch.

Day will end at 10pm Central on Friday, or when a DL is completed, whichever comes first.

Oh, heck. I forgot to italicize "stunning" in Gordo's direction at the end. Any of you who have seen him on his shows will know what I mean.

And @Drogo, you pick some of the best GIFs. *hug*

[Jesse]

Welcome to Flavortown, everyone! (Not a hint as to my actual character. I just somehow love Guy Fieri now??)

[Oinky Boinky]

No Jamie Oliver - I wanted to get real bad with him.

[Oinky Boinky]

Padma (who I would also love to get bad with) is not a chef. She is the host of Top Chef. Anyone find this odd?

[Jesse]

She's a foodie, though -- but really didn't she get the hosting job because she's a model?

But none of that is about this game!

[Oinky Boinky]

Or is it? She is beautiful and sexy but not like the others who got famous for being chefs. It could be significant.

Is that our clue or something about the Brit in the front row?

[Jesse]

Ohhhhh. I see where you're going. She has written cookbooks, hasn't she? 

[Oinky Boinky]

Day ends in maybe 6 hours.  Only Jesse and I have checked in.

In one hour I am picking a non-poster and starting a DL. 

[egavasc]

i don't really even know what's going on/how this game is supposed to work. But I'm here and I'm good so please don't DL me? 

[TJtrack99]

Well I know I'm a celebrity chef, which it seems like everyone is. So are there Heroes/Villains? Presumably so. 

I'm not really sure what to do, plus keep getting distracted by that middle .gif....

[The Crazed Spruce]

I was thinking at first that the hosts were the villains, and the contestants were the villagers, but there are only ten players, so that doesn't quite line up.  It'll probably take a round or two before we even know who the bad guys are supposed to be. (Besides Guy Fieri, of course, 'cause he's the worst...)

[MarkHB]

I still want to see Guy Fieri and Kevin Smith do a project together.  Maybe a movie about derelicts eating pasta...

Mutiny against Gordon!

[Oinky Boinky]

Hmmm mm here and thinking

[Oinky Boinky]

Were any of these posts bad guys saying we better get in there or face a random DL? 

[FormerMod-a1]

I'm here!  WIth the forum maintenance, this forum wasn't jumping up in my list in my Content I Posted In stream.  Now that I'm here, I have nothing to add, though.  At least not yet.

*Mod Note*

I know there's a bit of confusion going on and I do apologize for that. First, if you weren't specifically told that you are part of a team with Night Actions, you may consider yourself a "hero."

Second, this is intended to be LOLMafia, and that aspect will be made clearer in the next story. By LOL, I mean that it's going to be very silly so just enjoy the ride! How is a game titled "50 Shades of" anything NOT going to be ridiculous? ?

You should all feel free to send me and @Drogo any questions, or even post them here if they are not character-specific.

[MuuMuuChainsmoker]

I'm here and I'm fabulously sexy.

Gordon, Graham, and the PA as villains, maybe?? (I've never watched MasterChef, are there not three judges like on most competition shows?)

I'm more fabulous. Unless you are Padma and I would say you have me beat.
