[GOPisEvil]

11. Speed boy is already pacing like a caged animal.

[Richardo]

13. "Back to basics" Yikes

That cannot be good.

[GOPisEvil]

16. Nikki is not long for this world...she is NOT doing well at all...

[Ekirh]

17. Reminds me of season 2 . .

When I kept wondering if this would be Michael's week over and over (yes I know he had one week where he won both the quickfire and Elimination)

[Ekirh]

20. Delete

I'm horrible with my posts tonight.

[Richardo]

19. Let's see if they 'feature' anyone

That is foreshadowing a go go.

[Richardo]

38. Uh oh, they're featuring Antonia

:scared:

She's been middle of the pack so far...

[bicentennial_baby]

Grrrrr. Hung v.2.0

x(

[GOPisEvil]

18. Dale wins the Quick Fire.

Well done. :thumbsup:

He's the anti-Hung. :D

[GOPisEvil]

21. Richard Roeper and Aisha Tyler!

Dinner for 12. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

23. Did redbeard just say Dale is weak?

[GOPisEvil]

25. He did say "the weak choose the strong".

OK, dude, there's confidence, then there's delusion. You have strayed FAR into delusion.

I think Richard and Dale are both stronger contenders, if only because they chose NOT to insult the judges.

[Richardo]

27. He's a ferret

:eyes:

[Ekirh]

22. Movie Inspiration . .

Please.... Let me see someone attempt A Clockwork Orange :)

[GOPisEvil]

24. 9 1/2 weeks anyone?

:D

[Fox Mulder]

26. Dawn of the Dead

That'd be hilarious. Serve something like pig brain.

[Richardo]

28. HA!

That would rock..LOL

[Richardo]

30. "Eating Raoul"

[Fox Mulder]

35. ...

:rofl:

:thumbsup:

[GOPisEvil]

33. Manuel needs to get AWAY from Mexican. BRANCH OUT!

[Richardo]

34. I didn't get that each course was a separate movie

That can be chaotic, no?

[GOPisEvil]

36. Highly.

[Ekirh]

37. Indeed. .

I like it better than the animal challenge.. but I guess final judgement will come after I see how well the dishes come off.

Edit: I love the movie differences

"Dumb and Dumber?"

"To Kill a Mocking Bird?"

[Fox Mulder]

39. A Christmas Story!!!

[Richardo]

41. "What's the Christmas movie"?

Those guys are in trouble. One: it's the only movie he knows. The other: he's never heard of it ("I think it;s a comedy")

[GOPisEvil]

40. Ryan: the gnocchi isn't the only thing that's dense...

Thanks Rocco.

[bicentennial_baby]

42. I was hoping they'd go with Dumb and Dumber..

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

43. $150 bucks at Whole Foods?

That's what, one bag of food? :rofl:

[Ekirh]

44. Culinarily crap in their pants?

Add that to phrases I don't need to hear again.

[Richardo]

45. "This is my house"

He's a dick, but he's a dramatically necessary dick.

[1]

46. NO! not white chocolate!

it failed last night...

[GOPisEvil]

47. LMAO @ speed boy...

This is a FINE fucking DINNER - leave the schtick for Joe's Crab Shack.

[Richardo]

48. "Definitely my forte" - Nikki

That's what she said about the mac and cheese.

[GOPisEvil]

49. Nikki's forte is sucking mightily.

She's my pre-judge's table bet for packing her knives.

[GOPisEvil]

50. Richard can be too reliant on cutesy technology...

[Richardo]

53. His smoker is this year's 'foam emulsion'

enough already :eyes:

[Richardo]

51. THEY HATED THE SMOKING SARAN WRAP IN THE FIRST QUICKFIRE!!

[Fox Mulder]

52. That's what I was thinking.

If the judges hated it the first time, then why try it again?

[GOPisEvil]

54. Richard sometimes wants to impress people rather than just cooking.

[Richardo]

55. Did we lose bi_baby?

:(

[bicentennial_baby]

56. I'm here!

I'm just exhausted...I'm here though! :D

[bicentennial_baby]

57. Padma....grrrrr

Looking hawt. :D

Yes, I know it, I can't help it... :D

[1]

76. that blue dress is beautiful...

she looks like a wasp in that.

[Ekirh]

58. Here comes the Judges and guests. .

God I wonder if Roeper will give thumbs up and down reactions.

[bicentennial_baby]

60. Yes, redbeard, that's very 'newfangled'

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

61. Buy a stove-top smoker, asshat!

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

64. They're kicking it old skool...

:P

[Fox Mulder]

63. I don't see the imagination in that Willy Wonka course.

[bicentennial_baby]

65. I would not have used feeesh...

Take that redbeard!

[GOPisEvil]

66. *cue ominous music for Spike and Memo*

[bullwinkle428]

67. Padma is on to them with their Vietnamese theme!

[bicentennial_baby]

68. Nikki redeemed?!

:o

[Ekirh]

70. Or possibly just a delay of the inevitable?

DUN DUN DUN!!!

[GOPisEvil]

71. quel shock!

:o

[GOPisEvil]

69. Take THAT stuffy foodies!

I'm in love with the guest to Ted's left!

[Richardo]

Gee I wonder why :D

[GOPisEvil]

84. Hehe! Busted!

[bicentennial_baby]

72. Cheeky chutney!

:rofl:

[Ekirh]

73. Mmm

That Quail dish... is getting raves.

It looks delicious. DELICIOUS!!!

[Richardo]

74. This one is a REAL stretch

Christmas Story? It could have been any Asian movie "Joy Luck Club"?

But: Thay liked it. :shrug:

[bullwinkle428]

75. SHA-ZAM! Success for Christmas Story!

[Fox Mulder]

77. I was pulling for that one.

And they did well. :)

[GOPisEvil]

78. Uh oh...Richardo's Antonia prediction might be coming through....

Sadly for her...

[bicentennial_baby]

79. Err....those colors aren't so hot...

"A lamb chop you could actually chew..." Ouch, Collichio.

[Ekirh]

80. "Does it say Val Kilmer in a cow suit?"

I don't care what anyone says.. that's my quote of the night.

[GOPisEvil]

81. I love Ted. I need to buy his new book.

He was my favorite on "Queer Eye", too.

[Richardo]

82. Ted is a crack up

:D

Last week: "Speaking of middle America, 'cause that's where I think Waldorf Salad comes from..."

That was a total throw-away line. Hilarious.

[Richardo]

85. I'm ready for a restaurant challenge

:bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

88. That might be next - they'll have an even number of contestants.

Last year's was a TRAIN WRECK of epic proportions.

[bicentennial_baby]

86. Awwww, they're tired!

It hasn't even started yet, beeyothches! :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

87. Wow - were those guys happy or what?

:D

[Richardo]

89. Jennifer wins !!! Oh oops.

:D

[GOPisEvil]

90. Richard wins!!

He's going to be tough, IF he can stop trying to be impressive to people and just trust his flavors.

[bullwinkle428]

91. Christmas Story got screwed out of a win!

[Fox Mulder]

95. I know!

x(

[Fox Mulder]

92. I'd love to see Spike go home.

Gods, I can't stand him.

[Richardo]

98. Pretentious hat-wearing ass

[GOPisEvil]

93. What was that shit about their food not tasting good?

Morans... :eyes:

[bicentennial_baby]

94. Oooh, who will it be?

I'm guessing the girls.

[GOPisEvil]

96. I'm with Richardo - Antonia.

[johnnie]

102. I'm thinking Spike

[Fox Mulder]

106. I'm thinking Manuel.

[Richardo]

97. They're really getting the 3rd degree...

:scared:

[bicentennial_baby]

99. Goddamn I hate that hat....You're not Malarkey dood!

x(

Nobody can be Malarkey. Brian is legend. There is no other. :D

[Richardo]

100. $8 appetizer!

:rofl:

[Ekirh]

101. Clearly he's not Brian .

Ain't cooked enough seafood dishes :) (I think he was the one that did mostly seafood)

[bicentennial_baby]

103. Also, he doesn't have, on average, 5 different personalities...

:rofl:

My favorites being Malarkey! and O'Brian.

:D

Yes, I'm a TWOP addict. :P

[Ekirh]

112. I was just about to ask you . . .

if you read TWOP LOL

Thank you Keckler for putting Collicidick (Or how ever she spelled it) Into my vocab.

[Richardo]

104. Spike ! Spike! Spike!

:bounce:

[johnnie]

108. That's what I'm thinking

But then again, he makes for better Tv than the other dude.

[Richardo]

111. Ah yes - the producer's input

You may be right.

[johnnie]

119. Yup

I think it is a bullshit call.

[GOPisEvil]

105. I will NOT be led astray by the editors this time. It's NOT Memo, dammit.

:P

[Richardo]

107. Commercial aside: 'The Dance' show will go the way of 'Top Design'

...and quickly.

[bicentennial_baby]

109. We can only hope...Top Design was an abomination...

:puke:

[GOPisEvil]

110. I agree totally.

Top Design just never worked for me. Although I watched...:crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

113. 15% thought Oompa Loompas was a good idea?

No wonder Bush is in the White House.

[Richardo]

114. I was just going to say: Bush still has a 19% approval rating

[Ekirh]

115. AND THE ELIMINATION IS!!!!!!

Manuel is gone.

[GOPisEvil]

116. Goddamned editors!!! This time there was foreshadowing!!!

[Fox Mulder]

118. I know.

[GOPisEvil]

122. They totally led me astray last week with the winning team....

:grr:

[bicentennial_baby]

117. And the loser is....

Manuel!!

Arrrgh!

redbeard squeaks by again. x(

[Ekirh]

121. Obviously . .

The hat had hypnotic powers beyond our comprehension!!!

[Richardo]

120. Ironically, Manuel was too white bread for the show.

Antonia is the same way.

[Fox Mulder]

123. Oooh...next week's episode is going to be very interesting...

[johnnie]

126. Looks good

I would love to see some chef fist flyin'.

[Fox Mulder]

128. So do I.

I liked watching Howie and Sara fight last season.

[bicentennial_baby]

Next Week: Ming Tsai, 300+ person dinner,

Hung v.2.0 flips out, arguments break out across the kitchen! :D

[GOPisEvil]

124. Looks like Mini-Hung goes OFF next week!

WHeeeeee!!!!

[Richardo]

127. Mini hung!!!

:rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

Storeroom meltdown!! Next week can't come fast enough!

[Ekirh]

125. NEXT WEEK DRAMA!!!

CURSING!!
