Zounds!

Just finished the late showing of episode 5 of Top Chef, and all I can say is: Yikes! (Spoilerish.)
We've known, thanks to Magical Elven Spoiler Patrol, er, I mean Bravo's preview department, that there was a blowup coming, and that it likely had to do with Zoi and Jen. Well, tonight was the night.

I couldn't really follow it very well, and I suspect they left out a lot of what was said... so I won't try to recap it precisely. But I will note that if someone were to take Spike and shove him off a boat into the Chicago River and then run over him with the boat? I would cheer. Yes, yes I would cheer heartily.

I'm still not quite sure how Dale and Lisa ended up getting into it. I think Lisa said something she thought was defusing the situation and Dale took it badly based on her prior behavior (and I have to admit, she was bugging me this episode) but I'm not quite positive. What I do know is that at least half a dozen people were very, very angry, none of them came off very well, and Jen actually kicked a chair across the room at the end.

So. Um. I'll see if I can catch that again and figure it out more, but wow, was it intense.

And Spike? Fuck you.

playing catch-up

I missed episode 3 due to illness, and episode 4 due to not wanting to get out of order. I'm watching them now.

Probably won't bother doing full recaps, just impressions, but we'll see. Hopefully I'll be back on track with this week's episode.

I will say that once again, I'm pissed off at the site for putting spoilers all over the place. Not to mention the schedule was broken anyhow. Again. In a new and different way.

Maybe they should hire a webmaster who knows something about the web.
