I'm just waiting for them to enter the credit card numbers as plain text into that computer. EDIT: And... bring in the stupid paranormal "expert." Good job. FrumpleOrz fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Sep 2, 2014 |

surf rock posted:Where's Joe, anyway? Joe opened a new restaurant in Vegas about 2 months ago with Mario Batali, might have been busy with opening week for that. He also was co-host of a 8 episode restaurant reality funding show that aired on CNBC in July, so might have had to run off to do that too. It is funny that the show is absolutely no different without him. Without Gordon there really wouldn't be a show. I guess you kinda need Graham to say nice things to someone after Ramsay eviscerates them. I am disappointed there was no double elimination this season, nor any mention of a return-king-of-the-hill side web series, they have become pretty popular on Top Chef.

I liked Jaimee, she was never pretentious. I guess her speech thing is actually a diagnosed condition?

In Masterchef, when Jaimee and Leslie had to pick their teams, they handed out colored aprons but in the next scene the the contestants are wearing the chef outfits (complete with Volksturmkommando Team Kaptain armbands). What was the point of showing them handing out the aprons then?

DurosKlav posted:Well I'm shocked. I guess Jamiees was just so obviously bad they couldnt even pretend to let her through. I am impressed by them for once. Courtney also fell apart on the gnocchi, which she boasted as "her" dish. You know your team is rough when she of all people admits she has no business being leader. Felt bad for Christian getting embarrassed that they were losing to Cutter and Leslie. On the other hand, Cutter's on point as far as Leslie's issues with authority. It's not that I think he's egotistical necessarily, but he totally fails at working as a team, leader or not. Of course, you don't really have to to win this competition, and he's a good enough chef individually to have made it this far. To Jaimee's credit, she did what she thought she had to do to get the team rolling, but it definitely lost her points for giving it up so easily (not that Courtney didn't do the same.) Failing a challenge that you should excel at is pretty standard Masterchef protocol. At least she got what I think is the first sort of job offer this season. Side note - I like Graham a lot, but you could conceivably do the show without him either. Gordon's a big enough personality that he could host solo. I'm glad he doesn't, but y'know.

Somebody has to do the shilling.  Ramsay could certainly do this solo, but Graham does add to the show. Joe's smug, sanctimonious rear end can stay gone.

Well that was a pretty boring episode of Hotel Hell overall. At least at the end, they got a relatively more secure way of inputting guests' credit card info. And at least next week's drunk rear end in a top hat episode looks more fun.

I actually liked the pressure test; it was a watered-down version of something they did in MC Australia this year. But it really highlighted how much they're missing with not showing the cooks with recipes in hand. In Australia, they even gave them big cone molds to set the profiteroles into, and I think they also got an extra half hour to pull the whole thing off. And it was really disappointing that Courtney was the only one to manage the spun sugar. But yeah. It did a lot to redeem Courtney in my book. She actually seemed like a person and a decent cook this week, gnocchi notwithstanding.

I hate Joe with an unbridled hatred, but he is the only one that seems genuine. You know he acts exactly the same way whether the cameras are rolling or not, so that gives him some authenticity points in my book. Whereas loving Gordon has basically become housewife jack off material at this point and Graham is just there to test the color clarity on my TV

Courtney's pathetic attempts at emotional manipulation are getting more and more blatant. "Have you ever made one of these before?" "No, but my mother said she'd make one for me so I just thought of her." No mother has ever told their child, no matter what their age, that they're going to make a loving pyramid of creampuffs. Nope. I'm calling bullshit on that.

After watching a few episodes of "The F Word" Gordon is the same but toned down with the chefs he has on there, and that's exactly how I'd imagine he would be in his own restaurants. Whereas if Joe was the same in his restaurants as he is on the show, no-one would loving work for him.

The word "practicality" certainly got thrown out a lot by Gordon to describe a fortress made out of puff pastries.

Jaimee  Ah well, can't say I didn't see it coming. But I really through she'd knock that out of the park. Unless they're not doing that "eliminated people come back to fight to come back", I can still hope, right? Riiiight? But idk if I'd expect her to come back via that anyway. So I guess it's Team Leslie all the way now.

And it was really disappointing that Courtney was the only one to manage the spun sugar. The croquembouche challenge in MC Australia goes all the way back to the first season. There's this great moment when Poh, who was struggling with the profiteroles, pulls the cone off of hers - and it becomes one of those moments they play over and over again. I want Cutter to go home already. In every team challenge the guy seems difficult to work with and he doesn't seem to have too many great moments cooking on his own either. He's like Lisa from Top Chef Season 4 - mostly being consistently bad, but escaping being cut by having people somehow gently caress up worse on elimination day, even though they've been performing better overall.

Yea Gordon is an expert at turning his personality up and down depending on the setting, but it all feels very genuine. He's tapping into real aspects of his personality, but on something like Hells Kitchen he plays up the angry side(and of course there's the editing).

I just got around to watching Masterchef, I wish the editors would stop telegraphing who is going home within 2 minutes of the show starting. Right from the start I knew Jaime was gone. I'm watching Season 19 of Amazing Race and it's the exact same thing, it completely ruins the suspense of these shows.

Usually, the person going home will be either the first or second talking head right at the beginning of the episode. 90% of the time, it's the first person to talk.

I'm going to guess the reason they haven't done the "cook your way back onto the show" episode is because they didn't have anyone the season get booted who they actually wanted to keep on. If Courtney's bad dish had been the one to see her get eliminated half a dozen episodes ago, I'm sure they would have held the episode to give her a chance to get back in.

I'm catching up on Masterchef, as I caught Season 3 when it was on live, by binging through Season 4 now. Is it worth watching season 1 and 2? Also watching Ramsays ultimate cookery course and UK\US Kitchen nightmare I might be addicted to this poo poo but god. Its fun edit: First episode of Season 4 someone said he's a professional wrestler. I don't care who he is I already want him to go on past the initial picking phase

The fact that the guy actually did call them funeral potatoes(I think he said he brings them to wakes and funerals) is what made it I think. The perfect punch-line; its as if it was a scripted comedy sketch or something.
