TED!!! YAY! *loves him to pieces*

Seriously, Ted said everything at that judges' table that needed to be said. Miguel needs to not flip out in the kitchen EVER AGAIN. Mixing up salt for sugar? Dude, I learned that lesson ages ago, and I'm not you. Dave needs to relax a LOT. I love him because he's a sweetheart, but he's an overemotional sweetheart and it just makes him go nuts when he's under stress. And Andrea ... I swear to God, if I had to hear anything about goddamn bowel movements anymore, I was going to throw something at the TV screen. Yes, we know you make healthy foods. That's great. Now prove to me they taste good, because I don't care if they give me magical powers, make me immortal, and turn Jensen Ackles into my eternal love slave if they taste like the bottom of a compost heap.

Okay, in any event, by chef --

Lee Anne -- I love Lee Anne. I love everything she makes and her personality and the fact that she never tries to start shit with people who pretty much ask for it. I really thought what she did tonight was amazing, and good for her. Also, seeing her in the French Culinary Institute commercials made me squeal, because she's Lee Anne and she's adorable.

Tiffani -- As much as Andrea annoys me, Tiffani's a thousand times worse. Just ... bitch, can you be just a tad more condescending about everything ever? I mean, Stephen's condescending as hell, but at least he's so ridiculous all the time it amuses me. Tiffani's just a thinly veiled snob who's annoying to watch, and the worst part is that she always thinks she's right, even when she's so wrong it's painful.

Stephen -- You know -- and I hate doing this because it's Stephen and if I hated him, I'd probably be on Harold's side -- Harold's comment about his quickfire dish (at least, I think it was Harold, although thanks to my cold and the Smirnoff I had, I'm a little fuzzy) being just a couple of little clam piles bugged me, because theoretically it's only supposed to be about quality rather than quantity. As long as it looked good (and it did) and tasted good (and I'm assuming Ted wouldn't bullshit us on that), Harold can shut it. I will give Stephen some props, though, because winning the quickfire challenge didn't mean he had to be half as helpful as he was at the party. He took care of the wine, he helped serve, he helped Harold, AND he made his own dish. I'm not sure if I would call it beyond the call of duty, because everybody was working together well, but at the same time he wasn't half as bothersome as usual.

Harold -- Here's my thing with Harold. I'll bet he's an excellent chef and I'd love to try his stuff. But there's something about him that just irritates me. He's got this weird attitude thing that is in no way as bad as Stephen, but at the same time he's way too serious about some things and it bothers me.

Dave -- I love Dave, I do, but relax, sweetie. For crying out loud, you burst into tears more than Monica from TAR, and that's saying something. And I know he's not going to go all the way to the end, because he's just got way too many things going wrong for him, but I still root for him just 'cause.

Miguel -- Oh, Miguel. You lose for the salt/sugar mixup, but you totally win for ripping into Tiffani.

Andrea -- No more talk of bowel movements, thank GOD. *cheers*

I feel worse, and yet I'm off to the ballroom because for some reason I've got extra energy to work off. And I'm horribly tempted to offer up curse 'verse drabbles for prompts, but if I'm not in bed in twenty minutes, I'll be really surprised. (Not to mention that I've got three stories worth of feedback to answer and about fifteen to twenty fic recs to post. *sigh*)

I suspect that that's not entirely true...

Well, okay, that may have been a little bit of an exaggeration. I'm pretty sure I'd eat an entire compost heap just for that part where I'd get Jensen Ackles as a love slave. I'd have to eat a hell of Tic-Tacs afterwards, but still.

Unfortunately your breath wouldn't be the only issue (and there aren't enough Tic-Tacs in the world). Fortunately you specified eternal loveslave, so you'd have the luxury of keeping him waiting a few days while you...detox.

But you could have phone sex with him in the meantime.

I want to write Stephen/Harold. Mostly just even friendship. He (Stephen) came off this time as arrogantly eager to me, but in a polite manner. Each little challenge just makes him loosen up a little more.

Albeit a really little 'little'.

Man, must I be some kind of wrong if I find Stephen sort of... adorable? In the 'Lord, he's a prick,' sort of way. I figure I should ask someone who could tell me.

See, that's the whole thing with Stephen. Yeah, he's an ass, but he's pretty much proving he's a harmless ass. He's not out to get anybody or sabotage any of the others, although that's pretty much because he figures even if he helps you, he's still just so damn perfect he'll kick your ass. He's ridiculous. (I do have to say, though, that I was hopelessly amused when he was giggling at Harold's anger over having to switch courses. Heh.)
