I think tonight calls for running commentary, don't you?

[apocalypsos]

I still can't believe the rumor that Elia got frustrated at not being allowed to cut her hair during the show and just shaved her head, because seriously ... this close to Hawaii? Please.

God, we need a new host next season. Can they stop dressing the hosts like they're Barbies? C'mon.

Aw, poor Marcel.

God, I hate Ilan's smug little smile. Asshat.

Chocolate and chicken livers?! That's gross, Ilan.

Elia - Hers sounds delicious.
Sam - *grabbyhands*
Cliff - His sounded yummy, too.
Ilan - HeeHEEheeheeeeee.
Marcel - D'awww. Yay, good for him that the chef liked it!

I love the guest chef's accent. Heh.

And the winner is ... Sam! Who is a schmuck, but at least he's shown he can cook.

Romantic dinner? Ilan, isn't that your cue to start yapping, "Marcel can't do it because he's a virgin!", you idiotic jizzbucket?

I love Marcel and Elia sitting around and talking to one another.

I know I keep saying Marcel is adorably dorky, but honestly, I want to take him home and get him to loosen up.

Next up ... Sam asks for help and Marcel said he'd be busy. Which I guess Sam decides to take as, "I hate you and I won't help!" instead of what it looked like, which was, "Sorry, dude, I have to work on mine."

*****

Cliff, SHUT IT. Marcel asked nicely for you to move your veggies. He even (unlike some people who want eggs moved, Ilan) said, "Please."

"I don't plan on doing anything to screw up today." *snickers*

Sam, SHUT IT. Marcel is going to be busy. He can't help. He's not being immature, he's BUSY. Jesus, these fucking people.

Heh. The romantic couples are cute.

First course -- I'm not surprised Sam's tasted good. He really is a good chef, even if his personality is ridiculous.
Second course -- Damn, I don't want Ilan's to be good. But it's got clams in it, so I'd probably like it.
Third course -- Oh, my GOD, these fucking people. Pot, it's kettle -- you are SO GODDAMN BLACK. LIKE THE PITS OF HELL. LIKE A GREAT BIG BLACK THING. GOD. I'm sorry, Sam, Marcel is immature?! Dick.

*****

Well, good for Sam for getting over his temptation to be a dick about helping Marcel serve.

Fourth course -- Bwahahaha! I love that Cliff's getting bashed.
Fifth course -- Break the hearts, Elia. It's still chocolate.

Aw, look at the little old couple!

I don't blame Elia for being a perfectionist this close to the end of the competition.

HAHA! Did anybody else think of Stephen with that whole sword thing?

Oh, my God, all of these people are idiots. It says in their damn contracts they can't cut their hair! *headsmack* Okay, well, fine, doing it for fun is better than some stupid "Fuck this not-cutting-my-hair shit!" or the "It's too hot for long hair!" shaving rumors. And Elia looks pretty good with a shaved head.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS SHIT?!

Jesus. Okay, that was pretty bad. Seriously, to wake up to some asshole wrestling you to the ground?! If Marcel were a woman, that would be sexual harrassment, at LEAST.

... oh, don't even get me started on how much I hate these fucking quizzes.

*****

Uh-oh. CHEF TOM IN THE APARTMENT.

You know, I hate what happened because I think it was fucking ridiculous, but this does kind of suck. This close to Hawaii and he's got to go? *sigh*

"Overexcited", Ilan? The word is DRUNK.

"Did anyone say, 'Lay off'"?
*Marcel raises hand with a shy grin* "Uh, I did!"
Heeeeeeeeeee.

See, this is why I've come to love Marcel -- because he doesn't seem to blame anybody but the person who did the deed, that he always wants to go back to the food, that he's never gone to the producers and said, "These people are harassing me, MAKE THEM STOP." It isn't like he hasn't had the evidence that they were, he simply puts up with and makes it about the food.

*****

Oh, thank God that the least amount of people said they hate Marcel the most. Although, Sam? Seriously? Have these people been watching Ilan call him a virgin and make snide bitchy little comments about him?

I would never be able to choose wine. Wine's up there with champagne and beer for me. Eww.

I'm sorry, why does Ilan have five million watches on his arm?

If it's just Sam and Ilan are the only two who go to Hawaii, I'm skipping the finale.

SEND THEM ALL. God help me, but SEND THEM ALL.

... oh, thank fucking GOD.

PADMA IS MEAN. Way to give me a heart attack, Padma. Way to make me go "Okay, NOT watching the finale now," Padma.

I had a sick feeling in my stomach until the actual event. But oh God, his hair! It is safe! Thank God! But man, fuck you, Cliff. That was horrible to watch.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

There are people on the TWoP boards saying that that wasn't assault.

I'm sorry, but if you wake up to a guy twice your size holding you down in a wrestling hold, you tell him to let you go, and he doesn't listen -- ASSAULT.

Yes, even if he feels bad about it afterwards.

*headdesk*

Don't even get me started on the "C'mon, frat boys do it all the time!" fans. Just ... GRRR.

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

God. That's like..."I broke your nose...but I feel really bad about it, so we're cool!" No. No.

And the TWoP boards kind of need to be burned to the ground and the internet on which it resided salted. And sprinkled with acid.

[budclare.livejournal.com]

A stake to the heart never goes amiss.

[umetnica.livejournal.com]

I thought the point of the hosts was to wear pretty outfits. Are they meant to do more?

That was horrible, from Cliff wrestling to Sam just laying there to Ian just standing there filming it. Boo to all of them.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Well, "pretty outfits" is one thing. But they could be pretty and sensible -- I see any more belly- or thigh-baring out of Padma and I'm going to start wishing some secondhand splatter on her on purpose.

Even Elia was supposedly standing there laughing about the whole thing. I don't blame Marcel a bit for going off to the bathroom to sleep and slamming the door in the face of whomever it was that was holding the camera at that particular time. One of the few sensible comments on the TWoP boards tonight was something to the effect of, "What does it say about an episode that [the board members] had to check the CA Legal Code for the definitions of exactly which laws were broken?"

This is fucking ridiculous, and at this point the only person I want to win is Marcel, and mostly because I know how much it would piss off the rest of them.

[umetnica.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I dislike that I want Marcel to win mostly for that reason. If only Sam wasn't such an immature jerk, because I think his food consistently sounds the best to me out of the remaining people.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

If I'm not mistaken (and I probably am) what Cliff did would count as assault and battery (assuming that California law is about the same as Maryland in that regard). God, that was horrible. Poor Marcel. Really, Cliff was lucky that he's so laid back, because in his inebriated state, I'm pretty sure Marcel could have fucked his shit up a few hours later.

I did love Barbie's little "You idiots!" But yeah. Could we dress her a little less...slutty? I'm not talking burka or anything, just some nice, attractive outfits that don't look like they sewed a couple hankies together?

The one thing I wasn't clear on was where Elia was while the Marcel thing was going on. It sounded like Ilan was yelling for her to come look, and she yelled back something like "I can't." So I'm not sure where she was.

But yeah. They're all dicksmacks, and I hope Marcel pulls it out of his ass and wins the whole thing.

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

Who went home? I went to bed sick and didn't see it.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Cliff was the only one who got sent home. They said, "Sam and Ilan, you're going to Hawaii," then turned to Elia and Marcel and said, "Elia and Marcel, please pack your knives ................................. because you're going to Hawaii, too!" After the whole Cliff incident, I wanted to reach through the TV and strangle Padma for doing that to Marcel.
