I'm assuming "Surprise wedding" doesn't mean "she doesn't know there's gonna be a wedding" because WHO THE gently caress WOULD DO THAT, and instead means "she doesn't know the theme of the wedding or any of its details."

The latest Food Network Show seems to focuses on two guys who take other people's inventions and pitch them to investors. It seems to be Dragon's Den with a couple of middle men that make the whole thing far less interesting. They are justifying the show being on Food Network by having them focus on Kitchen Appliances. They are really, really, really stretching what constitutes a food related show at this point.

I said a million dollars. With a million dollars (unintelligible) clemency. You couldn't do it till after the '74 elections. That's an incriminating thing. His, his word against the President's.


I've been binging through Restaurant: Impossible and even though it follows a formula like Kitchen Nightmares, I don't care because it is a better formula. It helps if you realize the designer and construction guy are just playing along when Irvine inevitably freaks out about the restaurant not being ready on time.

It irks me a bit that they don't factor labor cost into the remodeling budget so things like remodeling a whole wall are priced on a materials budget. But whatever, that's the show. I'm just surprised that same construction guy sticks with him over two seasons, working 18 hours days with the only advertising for his business being his t-shirt.

Did anyone else watch the premiere of the new cycle of Food Network Star? I was really excited by the format changes (three mentors) but then it was revealed that it was a single-elimination show once again and I immediately deflated. Those were two of the longest hours of Food Network programming I've ever watched. As with most seasons of this show, the contestants range from flawed to downright unlikeable, but I'm rooting for Melissa and Judson.

They do include labor costs. Tom and the designer don't count and neither does "call all the help, right now !". But they do occasionally mention that the wallpaper guy or suchlike is coming out of the budget. Also, Tom's nailing all the designers. It's the only explanation.

It was dumb just as it always is, and yet I watched. I like it that they say the new thing is having people vote at the end- that was how it started and they yanked that because they didn't like a choice people made I guess.

Don't really care, I just have a massive crush on that Ippy dude so I'm in until he's booted. It will be great when they tell him to try new things (stop being so ethnic, dude) and then later, slam him for not staying true to his roots (be ethnic just not too ethnic).

I tried it ! Mandarin oranges didn't really work, but the fruit flavor and the greens worked. I'll try peaches as soon as I can get a can or two, they should hold up much better than the oranges.

FNS was bad again, but featured a hilarious moment where a contestant who insisted that she just "isn't comfortable with soul food" slipped up when attempting to describe the owner of a NYC soul food joint as a "beautiful blac-- American-- Afric--" I laughed so hard I took a victory lap of my apartment while holding my sides.

They really need to cut the show to an hour. It's so padded that it's borderline unwatchable without DVR.

I was going to make a lame joke about a fake chef marrying a fake wrestler, but I got curious and googled "Gail Kim" and drat near had my eyes bug out of my head. That girl is friggin' gorgeous. Lucky bastard indeed!

I'm still not sure how Guy Fieri and Morimoto were able to be in the same place without causing some kind of extinction-level event. That's a like matter/antimatter collision or something -- pure suck in close proximity to pure awesome.

Also they don't show more Ippi because the less they show him, the more they can change his personality into the general insufferably dull douchebag that comprises most of FN without anybody noticing that he used to be cool.

I am comforted by the fact that I'm not alone in loving the show. I will never debate the conflict over Nadia herself, but the other "correspondents" are so drat good that I don't care. Plus, I've cooked her recipes and will testify to the fact that they are good (and great when you take out the loving maple/brown sugar from some of the stuff, but I figure that's just Canadian influence. Not everything needs brown sugar, Nads).

I really liked the first season of Glee, and even had one of those gleek gang things, until someone in Pet Island decided that I needed 113 red custom titles. To be honest, I'm glad the gang title is gone, because golly that show turned awful. Or maybe my cloud of gay pheromone, gay-moan, stopped being enough to block the pure awful.

And those awful glee club award winners they had on were just the worst. It sounded like a "go with the story" song in the background of Strangers with Candy.
