"Are you building a Smurf village over there?"

[apocalypsos]

Okay, first off ... Howie. Not putting out a dish for the Quickfire grated across my last damn nerve, I swear. Jesus, even Mikey the idiot managed to put out something for the vending machine Quickfire, even if it was a Cheetos stuck in a candy bar. For fuck's sake, Howie, your principles are not going to gain you extra points here. It's the Quickfire, damn it. You're not going to get eliminated from the competition for screwing up your Quickfire dish. I mean, seriously, CJ put salt in his dish and he's still there. Come on.

You will, however, get eliminated for throwing yourself on your damn knives. Idiot.

With the exception of Howie's non-showing in the Quickfire, that particular challenge was awesome, mostly because of how everybody just couldn't stop giggling during the judging. And Hung's Smurf village! I know it didn't win anything or get any recognition and he was kind of a dick about that, but he squished Froot Loops and make a little picture! It's a little endearing, considering the source.

And Casey won a laptop! Again, why is everybody who's not me getting a free laptop? Sheesh.

I feel a little bad for Brian, because I do think that everybody liked him as a leader and he did have confidence in that regard, but he really didn't have a hand in making the tough decisions. I just keep thinking about Sara last week when Hung asked her about the carrots and she made that snap decision of, "This is how *I* want it." And that's why she won. Brian is more laidback and he gets called out on it.

On a final note, I want to slash that Esteban guy with someone and I don't even know who he is.

And I'm currently watching Tim Gunn. Aw, he makes me happy. I'd even let him come to my house and dig through my closet even though it's less that I have no style and more that I have no money to buy anything fancier than off-the-rack at Target. *sigh*

EDIT: Oh, my God, that Top Chef outtake? Malarkey needs to take off his shirt ALL the time. Hummina. *grabbyhands*

He looks REALLY good under that chef's coat. Just ... daaaaamn.

And that was probably the best arc I've ever seen on someone going to help someone into a pool and being yanked in. Hee! :)

I might need to see that, just for the weird mindfuck (background: "Top Chef" Malarkey is from Oregon and resembles (to me, at least) the real Don Malarkey, also from Oregon, whom Scott Grimes portrayed in "Band of Brothers" as seen in this icon, and really, how many people in Oregon are named Malarkey who are not related to Don Malarkey; Scott looks nothing like the real Don Malarkey and I need to go to bed because I'm doing a terrible job of explaining why this is funny to me).
