#BBCAN FAIL!

Topaz is an idiot.

Gary is my winner.

WTF?!?!?!?

Worst finale ever! I am disappointed!

I hate Jillian. I think Topaz legit made an error not looking propoerly with the lights and excitement.....

BRUTAL!

Big Brother 15 brings some changes...

Summer feels so far away, but my favourite reality summer guilty pleasure (BIG BROTHER) is in full planning mode... Some major changes coming this season and I am super excited.... BBN

CBS has announced the Big Brother 15 premiere will arrive two weeks earlier than normal this summer. That’s a huge change for the series, but the less examined part of that announcement was a switch in which nights the episodes would air.

CBS says BB15 episodes will buck the recent seasons’ schedule and instead air on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Moving the weekday broadcasts up a night means the HGs will have more time before a Friday nomination and less time after a Monday PoV ceremony if production keeps the in-house events on the same old schedule. Houseguests will get an extra day to fight, struggle, and be good hamsters filled with paranoia. Just the way we like them!

Clarification: I’m talking real-time events going on in the house and not time differences between episode broadcasts. Events in the house happen days before CBS airs them.

While the broadcast viewers might not notice as significant a change in the house dynamics, it should be a dramatic improvement for fans watching the Live Feeds which is of course where the real game exists and the die hard fans never miss.

What do you think about the Big Brother 15 schedule and its impact on the game?

Seems that the added time (for live feeders, and I am a live feeder) for the plotting and fighting will make it more interesting. I have to say that the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday long wait has been pretty boring and for the most part, live feeders knew what would happen and then just sat around and waited for live show....

This change up will be good, but also starting earlier makes me happy... sooner the better, let's get this show on the road!!!

#bb14 HoH Comp Spoilers from Live Feed

Tonight was epic. It is only a minor spoiler to say it is an endurance HoH Comp that will likely continue into the evening. I am on live feeds and will update as things happen. Check back / Refresh this page often.... spoilers under the cut...

More... So tonight's episode showed us America voted coaches return to the game. The choice was, coaches could return and re set the game, no one is evicted, OR they could NOT return, game continues, but some evicted houseguests would return next week.

If even one coach voted to return,they all would. Surprisingly, Boogie was the only one who did NOT vote to retun.

So coaches are back, neither Joe nor Frank went home, and now live feeds have all 12 houseguests on a "plank" of a boat (wall) rocking back and forth, holding on to a bar, with rain and burd poop being dropped on them... so far....

7:41pm - All are still up there. Boogie looks to be struggling the most - ha ha old man!

8:05pm - Boogie jumps, shortly after Jen is out, then Joe right after.

*Talk of pizza, but it is the BB Staff not the HGs that jumped*

Britt, Ian looking strongest at this point. Danielle not bad either. Shane complains of previous shoulcer injury, Janelle and Ashley both looking sore, moving a lot to adjust. Frank, Dan, Wil seem ok.

8:39pm - another dump of water/rain poured on them. Still just the three out.

8:42pm - Ashley falls.

8:44pm - Dan falls.

9:05pm - Frank is out.

6 remain: Shane, Wil, Danielle Janelle, Brit, Ian.

9:22pm - Boogie upset about other houseguests locking elbows, asks if it is a rule, Joe says no, just a saftey caution. Boogie yells to Ian "lock elbows if you need to, everyone else is" etc. etc.

Rain starts again. Shane struggling most. Ian seems to be in best shape.

9:37pm - Wil and Shane jumped off together.

9:40pm - Janelle is out.

Danielle, Brit, Ian left.

9:46pm - Danielle, Brit, Ian remain, houseguests in house changing, Dan giving coach speech to Danielle "not your coach but I will help you, I chose you for a reason, you want to win don't you? You don't take deals, you make deals" ha ha

10:08pm - Ian, after triple checking he was safe, jumped.

10:09 - Brit jumps. Danielle wins!!!

Danielle wins, Dan tackles her in congrats, Shane does same with an added kiss.

#bb14 And the Power of Veto Goes to....

Who won POV? What else was won during the comp?

*Spoilers ahead*

More...


Shane won POV

Ian won $3k - but sounds like something happened with Boogie winning $6k and something happened...?? Maybe he won and divied out money? Not sure.

Jenn won $1k

Boogie won a sushi party - He, Brittney, Dan, Janelle, Danielle and Shane attend

Janie offering up her wedding ring to Shane "trust me, hold on to it" Shane refuses.

#bb14 live feed and #BBAD Updates

By now you have seen the show and know who went home and who the new HOH is right? If you don't have live feeds and want to know what's being discussed... read on..

More...

Shane said today if he won HOH he would put up Joe and Wil and he seems to be still on the wave legnth, but we will swee...

It seems the strategy SHOULD be to nominate one from each team (Janelle's and Boogie's) to makei t more fair (Brit and Dan are down to one each) leaving Danielle to be a swing vote.

Janelle and Dan agreed Frankw ould be the best bet, and if Shane doesn't put him up it will mean they have an alliance (they do... even Brit isn't aware of it, after Shane took himself off the block last week when Frank put him up, they have been buddy, but only secretly and only because Boogie in a moment of wisdom, pointed out that Shane is a strong competitor and if he isn't going home, he is probably going to win an HOH soon)

If I had to predict at this moment, Shane will go with Joe and Wil or if he is pushed to do one from each team maybe Jen... I don't know though... We have to see who wins coaches competition also and if that involves a save or a trade.

Also, they are drinking, so it may be an interesting/fun night...

Masterchef - Top 6 Compete (Part 2)

We are down to (back at) 7 home cooks competing with the return of Josh from "Top 6 Compete (Part 1)" last night

Mystery Box: Giant live prawns (much to the squealing of homecooks)

Three dishes are chosen to be tasted by judges:

More...

A record 5th time, Becky is called up and judges sample her grilled prawns with salsa verde and saffron rice. It is plated beautifully and her "spanish" approach works. Judges compliment her technique and flavours.

Christine is next. I was worried about her being blind trying to catch and prepare the prawns. She made Spot Prawns with pineapple broth. She had cilantro which was an ingredient the judges had mentioned they would use if they were cooking. Judges call it a "home run" with great flavour.

Lastly they choose to taste David Martinez' Spot Prawn Ceviche. He sauteed the bits in a cold sauce. Judges call it a complex dish that is rarely seen from home cooks. They compliment the visuals as well as preparation and balance of flavours.

The winner: David!

Quite shocking given he has not been performing too well lately. Finally, he wins a mystery box challenge and with that comes rewards....

Elimination Test:

David gets to choose which of the three ingredients he and the other cooks will use today. (No immunity it seems, but he gets an advantage)

1. BACON

2. CORN

3. BEETS

Twist: The dish must be a dessert. As per a modern trend, incorporating non-traditional foods in desserts.

His advantage: 3 examples of how to use the ingredient in desserts. As well as 5 minutes in the pantry solo to prepare.

He uses these advantages and chooses to make a rice pudding and asks a few questions. He then, forgets rice. His main ingredient!!! Uh-oh!

He scrambles and asks other contestents if they have rice. Becky has it, and actually does give it to him.

David - Corn and Milk based Rice Pudding with carmel. Joe calls it unedible and disgusting.

Becky - Popcorn Panna Cotta. Joe likes the opposing textures and flavours. All the judges enjoy her dessert.

Christine - Corn & Coconut Pudding. Judges feel it is more complex than it seems and very tastey.

Monti - Corn Souffle. Corn milk and pastry cream infused with lavendar. it sounds fancy and the judges say it is delicious and well done.

Felix - Corn Profiteroles. Graham says visually it looks like cat poo, it is dense not airy and he doesn't like it. Joe has similar sentiments saying it is disappointing.

Frank - Corn Budino with chocolate. Judges seem to enjoy.

Josh - Corn Creme Brulee. Visually it is not pleasing or appetizing, but flavour wise judges

Bottom Three:

Josh & Felix & David

Felix is sent home.

#bb14 Spoilers

Live feed updates on where people are at...

More...


Shane still has veto.

Danielle will be going up in his place.

Jojo and Danielle will be the nominees, it seems there are two sides each trying to get one or the other out.

Getting Danielle out eliminates the last of Dan's players, however, JoJo is annoying and part of the "WILLIE" team (well, was.)

Jojo had been the target but it sounds like she may hae a chance at this point, we shall see!

Other points:

There seems to be a group actively seeking to get rid of Wil soon.

Boogie sees Ian and Frank as strong and other houseguests are thinking the two have a F2 deal.

Ash is not as dumb as she lets on, Jojo says she is bi and going to try to steal Ash from Ian (jokingly?!)

Brit is still annoyinh and catty, she is trying ot make nice(r) with Janelle again.

Shane is seen as a huge physical threat after winning two POVs and is starting to be worried.

Some are hip to Dan throwing comps, he denies it.

HGs play bocce ball in yard.

Ian smokes (admits he smokes once a day usually).

That's about it for now....

Love in The Wild Finale...

I fell behind with this show but watched the last three episodes back to back this week and was pretty happy with the finale....

More...

Yanina and Ken won. thank goodness because they were the first couple to get serious from day one.

I was rooting for Summer and Chase, but NOT Ben and Michelle (Sorry, I liked Jen!)>

Basically the top three competed and third place wasn't eliminated. THEN in the final three's next competition, who ever came in first would choose their competitor.

Although Yanina and Ken were better friends with Chase and Summer, they chose to compete in the final competition with Ben and Michelle, which was a smart move as they were a newerf couple and less competitive.

Then men used walkie-talkies to radio the girls directions to find different items, which they then brought back to the men and put together a tandem bicycle and rode to town.

In the end they won the trip around the world and I am pretty thrilled about it - they deserve it.

In the after credits we learned all three final couples are still together. - yay!

Master Chef - Returning Home Chef is...

The last 8 homechefs sent home return for a chance to win an apronand return to the competition. The mystery box challenege had each returning player choosing an ingredient they loved and that may throw off the others.

There was chocolate, pork, cream, portobello mushrooms, pomegranate, and other random ingredients.

*Spoilers ahead*


More...

I really thought Stacey, who left most recently, would be the returning cook, but it came down to Ryan, the cocky unemployed young lad and Josh, the obvious favoured cook from day one.

Next up was a fruit flan. The two prepared then the remaining homechefs still in the competition judged, based on technique, flavour, but not knowing who's was who's.

Josh went for more exotic fruits, while Ryan stuckw ith traditional berries. The "judges" spoke about crust, filling, knife work on the berries, flavour and in the end the exotic fruits from Josh won.

While I didn't think Ryan was the better cook, I thought he made the show more entertaining so I was rooting for him secretly. Josh, who is the better cook, especially with a dessert task, won and is back in Masterchef competition.




So do you think this returning home chef will last or be sent packing again soon? Is this game rigged? Who is your fave to win now?

#bb14 spoilers

Last night (July 21) about 10pm BBT Wil brought out his alter-ego "Craig" a straight rapper.

He and the girls did a dance, which was epic fun! If you have live feeds flashback to it - pretty funny

The rest of what I have to say is spoiler - read on only if you don't care

More...


So Willie is gone. We know this from my previous spoiler post.

Janelle won Coach Compa nd saved Ashley.

Shane and Jojo were put up by HOH Frank.

Shane won POV, saved/saving himself obviously

Based on conversations it sounds like Danielle will be replacement nominee.

So if Danielle goes home, Dan is out of players.

There is a lot of "playing" going on. Frank & BOogie talked to Shane last night saying they would work with him, yadda yadda.

It feels like a lot ofplayers are saying one thing to one group and another to another, so until we see DR it is tough to know how they will really vote.

JOJO drives me nuts so I 'd love to see her go. I also don't like Danielle after watching more of her on live feed... lastnight in the hammock with Dan she said she didn't like pretending to be a K teacher because she was actually as smart as Ian and can "recite the periodic table" ha ha ha

She also went on and on about appearences and not caring (though she looks in the mirror 24/7) and that she didn't care about not being a blonde bombshell (yes as Trixie, etc she said she was the only brunette boo hoo) and talked about how she had legal responsibilities if there was an injury because she is so high up in the medical field... oh god! It isn't that any of this is/isn't true, it is HOW she says it, going on and on and on - i just don't like her....

My opinions right now:

Not a fan of:

-Joe - dirty, yappy, hate his fae landing strip

-JoJo - needs a muzzle

-Danielle - so yappy, self-centered yet insecure

-Boogie - name dropping, controling, thinks he is the bomb, looks old and sick

Like:

-Dan as coach and overall
-Ian to win
-Janelle - tolerable, she is way less cool this season so far
-Jenn - different, i like it
-Frank - I loved Willie so i am sad about that whole issue but I do like Frank, minus Boogie's influence.

Willie Hantz phone interview with his family... #bb14

Bachelorette Finale this Sunday - spoilers under the cut

Finally watched "The Men Tell All" episode from last week while I was at COmic-Con... wow!

Nothing totally shocking, I mean it is pretty much the same formula every season isn't it?

It was really hard to see Sean. In my dream scenario, Emily chooses Sean. Maybe with this "live finale" surprise, she changes her mind and takes Sean...?? I wish...

According to Reality Steve (as of July 3) Emily chose someone and they are engaged - still. But according to ABC there were some "unresolved feelings" after the show that will be addressed at the live finale... hmmm.... the rest of what I have to say is spoilery so only read if you want to be spoiled with the results and rumours around the twists....

More...

I have never liked Arie... ok I lie. I loved him until I learned about his background (dating a producer, friends with Chris Harrison, likely coached by producers throughout show, kind of a player/dbag back at home)

But he is cute.

Luckily, according to reality Steve, he doesn't propose (Emily may stop him before he does, or maybe he just doesn't I don't know....) but emily is now engaged to Jef after teh show and and still.

Now this "live show" unresolved issues thing may be an Arie/Emily thing, but you have to know I am praying it is a Sean/Emily thing because I think they are THE most perfect couple... of course, I'd love even more to see Sean as the next Bachelor - but we have to endure Roberto for that role apparently - gah!!!

Anyways - if nothing has changed, Emily and Jef are engaged and happy but there was a little something since Curaco/finale taping that will be addressed on live finale.

So what do you think?

#BB14 Spoilers

HOLY DRAMA... some one is kicked off the show... Coaches Comp. (Do they save or trade a player?) who is nominated?

More...


Apparently Dan and Boogie threw the competition and Janelle won. She chose to save Ashley this week and not do a trade. She also chose to put Brit's team as HAVE NOTS.

The feeds went down as soon as shit hit the fan but here is what went down:

After Willie already said no one would send him out the door, it seems he did excatly what he needed to in order to go home...

He got mad at Janelle for putting him as a have not, he threw pork rinds at Janie and called her names, then he and Joe had it out and there was some head butts and such.

Needless to say he went to DR and then was expelled from show.

also I believe JoJo and Shane are up / nominated...


Going to be a good week but not sure how it will play out with so few players left now.. obviously coaches will join or they will bring player(s) back.

MasterChef Top 8 and Top 7 Episode recaps

I am catching up on my shows after being away... Here is two in one Masterchef recap.... Top 8 and Top 7 up next...

More...

Task - They are in the desert, the judges arrive on horseback.

Frank (Red) - Becky, Josh, Felix.

Monti (Blue) - Stacey, David, Christine.

Then Chef Ramsay had Monti and Frank swap teams... they were not happy.

So now Monti is Red with Becky, Josh, Felix while Frank is blue with Stacvey, David, Christine.

They have 90 minutes to prepare meals for 101 cowboys - first team to 51 points wins.

Monti and Red team discuss - Rib Eye Steak with mashed sweet potatoes and spicy green beans. Some fear peeling and mashing will be too time consuming. Despite team disagreements, they move forward with Monti's idea.

Frank is accepting teams ideas and they decide with NY Strip with garlic mash, corn on the cobb and Stacey's BBQ sweet, smokey, hot sauce.

16 oz delicious steaks ready to go. Red team is doing the dry rub while Frank takes control on blue and is pre-searing steaks. Monti assigns Becky to man the grill while she cuts veggies a point judges realize.

Christine is grilling corn, but the husks catch fire and her team mates aren't much help... I mean, she is blind... an amazing cook, but needs a little help with some things obviously.

Meanwhile red team has overcooked some steaks, they only get 105 to serve 101 so Monti is in a prediciment. Yet blue team is stacking steaks causing juices to leak and cooking to continue.

101 cowboys and cowgirls eat and rate the meals.

5 minutes into service red team is out of sweet potatoe mash.

Meanwhile blue is serving overcooked steaks.

In the end it is 36-51 with blue winning.

Back in kitchen it is pressure test and the Blue team is told to go into the wine room and pick one name to NOT participate in pressure test.

Monti says she is cooking regardless, she suggests Felix. Josh disagrees and says he did everything. Becky agrees everyone did everything. So Josh wants him, Becky wants her, Felix agrees with Monti that she (Felix) should be, in the end, no one can decide.

back in the kitchen cheg asks the chef to step forward, after hesitation, Felix steps forward, much to Becky and Josh's annoyance.

The test:

6 eggs, they must make one perfect of each egg: sunny side fried egg, soft boiled egg, poached egg, a 3 egg omlette. That means NO ROOM for error!!!

Josh, Becky, Monti head to their station ready to go. Monti calls eggs "big time bitches" needing to be timed to the second. She is right!

It;s an intense few minutes as they all cook and judges ask which egg they are most worried about, I am not a good cook and eggs even stress me out. My husband does most of the cooking - thankfully ;)

In the end, none of them do entirely well.... but Monti is safe first and then between Josh and Becky it is Josh that is sent home.

**Top 7 Compete**

Paula Dean arrives to do mystery box: A whole chicken, green tomatoes, collard greens, grits, blackberries, hot sauce, pepper jelly, bacon, cream cheese, and spices.

She wants them to put some "south in their mouth"

She also had letters and photos for each the homechefs from their families.

Time starts ticking and they are cooking like mad. In only 60 minutes it is interesting to see what they decide to try and make.

Results:

Three to taste:

-Becky - Oven Roasted Chicken with fried green tomatoes, biscuits and gravy with fried okra. - Paula loved it. The judges complimented her also.

-Frank - Chicken Roulade, pepper shutney and spicey potatoes. - Paula loves that he chose the dark meat which has most of the falvour, she thinks it is delicious but starts to choke after from spices. The judges compliment his technique.

-David - Pan Roasted Chicken with red pepper grits and shoestring onions. - Judges enjoy its flavour and Paula gives Ramsay crap for calling grits bland (he said David took a usually bland food and made it tastey ha ha) I agree, I hate grits, husband and kiddo love them though!

Winner of Mystery Box Challenge: Frank.

His advantage in next competition: He doesn't choose food, the judges have chosen Japanese food. (Sushi Platter) Frank's advantage is that he has immunity AND choose the pairs. (Yes, they will work in pairs for this competition)

They must make an exact replica - California roll, tuna sushi, yellow sushi, and many others....

One member of the losing team will be sent home. The pairs are:

-Becky & David

-Felix & Monti

-Christine & Stacey

60 minutes begins... however, the pair must not cook at same time and will switchw hen judges yell switch.

The pairs seem to communicate well at first, they need to tell each other what to do. David and Becky struggle the most, especially when Becky comes in and re does half of David's work.

In the end Christine and Stacey had the worst dish and Stavey goes home.

Big Brother Spoilers...

I have live feeds, so I promise to blog spoilers as often as possible.

If you didn't follow my blog last summer for BB13, I will post show/known Big Brother info here, then any spoilers/un-aired/live feed info below the cut so it is hidden if you don't want to know it.

If you do... click 'MORE' to read more....

First - aired info:

Willie was first HoH and nominated Frank and Kara. Veto was not used. Kara went home... Frank won HoH

Now the un-aired/spoilers:

More...

-Looks like Frank will nominate Willie and Shane or Jojo (as of right now)

-Coaches Comp may happen today, winner can save one of their own players *OR* trade one of their players.

I hope Brit wins and saves Willie. I just want Willie to stick around. He is fun drama.




here are my thoughts on the cast thus far:

-Ashley - stoner? She always seems high, I hope/think it's an act.

-Willie - I love him. I loved Russell too... it's a Hantz thing (minus Brandon ha!)

-Frank - I did like him, not as much now.

-JoJo - She is interesting. I like that she aligned with Willie and Shane.

-Shane - He is kind of dull, but cute. Again, I like Willie so as long as they are teamed together I like him.

-Jenn - I am glad to see a non-Barbie-bimbo casted, I like her uniqueness, not sure on her game play yet.

-Joe - annoying. I don't like him at all.

-Danielle - don't know her well yet, her and Kara were kind of one.

-Ian - I liked, but he is proving to be pretty creepy... still it is endearing.

-Wil - so pretty. I am not entirely sure how I like him yet.

Coaches:

-Brit - still don't like her, but I do hate her less.

-Janelle - still love her

-Boogie - I used to like him, but he is kind of a cocky dbag

-Dan - still love him, but wish he could catcha break.

Master Chef - 12 and 11 compete

Two in one this week for recaps because.... well, I have been busy ha ha!

12 compete

We start with a food truck challenge. The amount of money earned goes to charity and the team with the MOST money wins. First up choosing teams...

More...

Stacey chooses Tali, Frank, Becky for her team

Then she chooses two teams...

Monti, David, Anna, Tonya

Leaving Christine, Felix, Mike, Josh as the last team

Then, Stacey chooses team colours which depicts what food type they will have.

Red - Mexican (Stacey's team)
Blue - Indian (Christine's team) who chooses Josh as team captain
Yellow - American (Monti's team) who chooses Anna as team captain

Each team plans and prepares a dish. Red team Stacey pushes for a vegetarian dish in addition to meat. Finally after They aim for taco's with side dish and guacamole... that would be delicious! After Ramsay lectures they ditch the veggie option.

Yellow team fights about side dish, fries versus chips. David and Monti hate each other. They aim for a burger with chips. Sounds plain jane. They do have two different mini burgers and chips in the end... Ramsay lectures and they decide to just do one, though with two minutes to go they have zero ON THE GRILL... oh boy!

Blue decides on some chicken tikka masala, Mike doesn't know what it is and they worry about time to prep but go for it. Sounds interesting.

If I had to pick one it would be the Mexican. But I love Guacamole!

Yellow - raw burgers after not starting to cook until 2 minutes before opening. David was on grill. After a slow start they get going.

Blue - seems to be doing best according to the judges, it has best flavour and is best deal

Red - Stacey goes to the skate park to recruit more people, tacos are an easy sell, though many would have liked to see fish tacos.

Results

Red team wins.

$154 difference between yellow and blue.

Yellow team loses.

Pressure Test

Tortellini.

Joe shows them the correct way to make it. They watch carefully.

60 minutes to prepare 10 perfect tortellini with a cheese and meat filling in a broth.

Monti - is confident though she hasn't made tortellini, she makes pasta a lot.
Anna - is using a mixer not her hands.
David - is using steel surface not wooden board and has fat fingers.
Tanya - has not made a lot of pasta and is very nervous.

Joe says pasta should be done first so it has time to rest after. Gordon says you want to make sure you time it all right.

David is the first one safe, despite his fat fingers he did a great job. Monty was also safe.

Between Anna and Tanya, it is close, but Anna heads home today.

*** Top 11 compete next... I typed it all up but it did not save... it was mystery box and they made rabbit. Becky was best and picked a fryer for her elimination round and a pizza stone for everyone else. Very few made pizza and in the end Mike and Tanya went home, despite crappy performance for David (also in bottom 3) and Tali (not in bottom three.

Master Chef - 13 compete

Another night of Masterchef....

The epiosde kicks off with a mystery box challenge, my favourite.


More...

Inside:
-corn
-watermelon
-t-bone steak
-cabbage
-peach
-sour craem
-spices

Total is under $20 at Walmart - obviously a sponsored mystery box challenge.

60 minutes to make dish valued $40+ at fine dining resturant.

Becky is planning a dessert, big risk. Cowboy Mike is excited, this is his kind of meal. Tali is struggling as usual. Everyone says they are happy with their dishes.

Judges watch and taste throughout the task and decide who are stand out dishes.

1. Frank
- grilled t bone steak with corn, slaw and cream sauce

2. Tanya
- Tarragon t-bone steak with braised cabbage and pureed corn

3. Becky
- Caramalized Peach with peached and cream puree

Then judges chose the best... Tanya
Elimination Test:

Tanya can choose between the following judges favourite desserts.

Joe - Tiramisu
Graham - Strawberry Shortcake
Gordon - Triffle

Tanya is safe and doesn't have to cook. She also gets to choose who makes which dessert (4 per dessert)

Judges will pick the worst from each dessert as the bottom three.

Tiramisu - Anna, Frank, David, Felix
Strawberry Shortcake - Scott, Mike, Tali, Christine
Triffle - Becky, Monti, Stacey, Joshua

60 minutes begins

Homecooks grab materials and start to prepare desserts.

Monti somehow sets fire to her trifle while in a frantic panic. She is running around asking for lady fingers and flour. I don't think most od them knew what a trifle was.

The judges discuss each homecook and their strategy and results so far. It is down to the wire with most cooks finishing just in time.

Tiramisu

Felix - adds nuts and Joe is not impressed. Felix starts to cry. Graham comments on the visuals lacking and doesn't seem to enjoy the flavour either. Gordon says it is way too sweet, looks as sad as she does "is a mess" he calls it her worst performance on masterchef causing more tears from Felix.

Frank - Graham likes the look and taste

David - Gordon is not happy it is thick and heavy. Joe complains about the watery substance calling it gross.

Anna - I missed... I was on facebook LOL too lazy to rewind

Trifle

Josh - Joe says it tastes like a banana split, a bowl full of cream and bananas. Graham

Monti - Gordon mentions how half way through the challenge she had nothing and although it still lacks sponge, it tastes delicious.

Stacey - It looks beautiful, she calls it an Italian trifle.

Becky - Joe says it is gross and spits it out. He says she tried to show off and it bit her in the ass. Graham and Gordon agree.

Strawberry Shortcake

Christine - used other berries a berry shortcake

Tali - missing foam but has good flavour

Scott - didn't glaze strawberries

Mike - missed or wasn't shown?

Stand Out Dish

Stacey

Bottom Three

Becky
Felix
Scott

Going Home

Scott






What did you think of the mystery box dishes?

How about the Elimination Test?


Next Week:
Homecooks hit the road for a food truck challenge.

Love in the Wild

After a reminder of how last week new ladies arrived forming trios and then sending half the ladies home to go back to couples....

More...

Chase & Summer

Jesse & Ali even though he had slept with Tara, which is mostly common knowledge.
Ken is not impressed with Jesse. Jesse is keen to get with Ali but in the outdoor tent Ali tells him to back off when he tries to touch her leg. She even says "Can I go back and do the ceremony again" uh-oh

Michelle & Ben. Michelle is happy to have Ben without Jenny. They go under the covers to celebrate.

Jason & Vanessa, another new couple, laugh and seem to enjoy preparing for bed.

Yanina and Ken are still going strong.

The next morning is Challenge

Jenny MC Carthy compares relationships to coconuts. The adventure is to collect 55 coconuts and carry them to "town" and trade them for a horse which they will ride up a mountain to get a map which will lead them through the rest of teh adventure. Oh, they do get a wheelbarrow.... actually, pieces of a wheel barrow, to put together if they want.

Yanina & Ken - She wants to build a wheelbarrow, he doesn't - they just carry the barrow without wheels

Jenna & Ryan - they also decide to fill the barrow and carry it. It gets heavy, Jenna needs breaks ans Ryan drags it when she is too weak to pull her weight.

Summer & Chase - being strong they too decide to just load the barrow and carry it they leave 2nd place and while on the horse pass and take 1st place.

Vanessa & Jason - take the time to build the wheel barrow. Jason likes that vanessa doesn't complain. They finish first and get the horse. Vanessa rides it, he leads their slow horse.

Michelle & Ben - also puts together the barrow and hop on the horse in 3rd place.

Ali & Jesse - arguring in last place trying to put together the barrow, then loading the barrow. Jesse wants all 55 in one trip. They keep falling out and Jesse wants Ali to pick them up - she won't. Jesse falls, the wheel barrow breaks and his plan to make it in one trip seems to be an epic fail. Somehow they manage to have 55 in their one load and head out on the horse... in last place.

They all get to the map. They need to now hike down the river and cross a waterfall by tight rope to find a new map behind the falls.

As Ali reads she shakes and cries... here we go again. Not sure Jesse can support her, unless she is willing to sleep with him.

Ken & Yanin go quickly across the ropes passing Summer and Chase. Jenna & Ryan are not far behind.

They all scream and Jenna is dramatic like Ali, but they are in harnesses... if they skip they fall a whole 1 foot. Speaking of Ali they are still in last place. Her "paralyzing fear of heights" means she can't be touched and so she has to tell Jesse to back off and not crowd her. It was quite amusing.

2nd waterfall - they go to a grotto to retrieve a 2nd map. At this point Yanina and Ken are in first, Chase and Summer right behind hop intot he water and swim through the falls. Summer you will recall from the first episode is an awesome swimmer. Yanina, however, sucks and Ken has to help save her from drowning. It is beautiful.

As others arrive, the top two couples are on their way up to a 3rd waterfall. Here they will hike up and use machete, bamboo and rope to cut down bananas.

While couple procede to chop bananas some struggle to get there. The two top couples somehow miss the trail to get supplies and hike up the mountain and realize they messed up. They have to hike back down.... meanwhile other couples are able to get ahead because of this mistake.

Back at the previous waterfall, Vanessa swims fast to get the map in the grotto however, she somehow loses the map from the container while swimming. Jason panics as they fall into last place.

Somehow the couples have a big mix up and here is how the end:

1. Jesse & Ali - Oasis (Ali isn't thrilled)
2. Ben and Michelle - Cabins
3. Jenna & Ryan - Cabins
4. Ken & Yanin - Cabins
5. Summer & Chase - Tent
6. Jason & Vanessa - Hell... just kidding, the horrible screen "tent" is gone, they get tents too

Off in the Oasis Jesse keeps pushing Ali for romantic time.

Summer & Chase agree they need to pay more attention to detail and decide not to dwell on the drop from first to almost last.

Lot's of mingling and chatting.

Choices:
Ladies choose first.

1. Ali can choose anyone from first place. Ken interupts and to bring up the fact that Jesse is sleazy and her decision to choose someone else could really mess up established relationships. Ali chooses Ben much to everyone's surprise.

This leaves Jesse to choose whoever he wants... He originally planned to request to be put into unmatched area but given happenings he asks Michelle to partner up.

2. Jenna keeps Ryan

3. Yanina keeps Ken - obviously

Jenny asks if Ken was nervous. He says he was worried Jesse with power would see him as a threat and try to break them up. Jesse barks back and they begin to argue. Ken tells Jesse to take it more seriously and not hurt those around him. Jesse calls Tara collateral damage in the game. He admits (under pressure) that they slept together but there wasn't a connection. Jesse and Ken have spat and Jenny, as a great host, pushes them to discuss it more. Ben tells them they both ahve points and to drop it.

4. Summer keeps Chase.

5. Jason and Vanessa are eliminated. They agree to see where their relationship goes.






So do you think there is love brewing?

I am not upset with the couple going home are you?

What about the battle between the two men?

Bachelorette - Prague

Tonight's episode we finally hear about Arie and Cassie (the producer) past relationship. Apparently it was brief and ten years ago and not a big deal... meh! We also saw an interesting rose ceremony and some romantic one on one dates....

More...

First one-on-one was with Arie.

We had the Cassie drama emerge. Emily was mad at Arie for not telling him. They had an off screen discussion and by dinner she forgave him and was making out with him non-stop again.

Arie tells Emily he loves her and she eats it up. She is so into him.

------------

John "Wolf" gets the next one-on-one date.

Emily seems to know a lot about Communism and John Lennon and graffiti... *shrugs*

They can't figure out their lock, foreshadowing of what's to come? They have never ever had any connection. I have no idea why she kept him after week one to be honest. The only reason I wantes him around was to discover WHY they call him "WOLF"

John admits he had his heart broken and Emily realizes it isn't lack of connection, but his guard being up - um, NO EMILY! You don't have a connection!


----------------

Group Date is Sean, Doug and Chris....

Sean runs through the streets of Prague and surprises Emily. She is grinning ear to ear. She seems so in love with him. I really do like them together. They have the "look" they make out and she apologizes for putting him on a group date, but he is ok with it and after their beers and one on one alone time tongue twisting then making out against a wall in an alley some more, he leaves feeling pretty happy.

---------------------

Group Date - horse drawn carriage pulls up to haul the men along. Squished. Under umbrella's. Lame already!

Doug gets some one-on-one time and is awkward. He is closed off, arms crossed, scared to touch her and very stand offish. He even says if they were to move on after this they would be "starting off" Doug wants to get to know her more, but she is already having more with others. She talks to him, ready to send him home and he doesn't realize it and kisses her. She thanks him them continues to send him home. He feels like an idiot, understandably.

He is a single dad and a decent guy. But it just wasn't there. Maybe he will come back as a bachelor?

Emily and Sean's one-on-one time is kissing and talking about the night before.

Chris gets some one-on-one time and he spends a lot of the time complaining and saying he won't dwell on it, as he dwells on it. THey share some kisses, but it isn't passionate like with Arie OR Sean. I have never seen what Em sees in Chris. She thinks he is so attractive and perfect. Meh.

With Doug gone she only has two men to choose from to give the rose. It isn't surprising when she gives it to Sean. Chris is bitter and mad, though he says he isn't.

-----------------

Jef and Emily get their one-on-one date. Theya re so cute. The odd couple. He doesn't look like her type, like Sean does. But they click so well. I loved their lil puppet dolls. They used them to talk about their feelings and Jef told Emily he was in love with her and it was so sweet..... She gets nervous after learning that Jef dumped a girl because his parents didn't approve - no pressure. They have an amazing time laying on a library floor talking about kids and life.

'I Want to Date You So Hard and Marry the F--- Out of You'

OMG best line ever! Jef is so different. I am torn between him and Sean. I don't want her with Arie. The Cassie thing isn't why, he is just slimey from what I hear.

Sean and her look the part, the whole package. But Jef, somethign about him is just so sweet and different. Time will tell.

Cocktail Ceremony

Chris is stillupset he didn't get some one-on-one quality time with Emily and plans to talk to her tonight.

Emily talks with Chris about how the relationships were confirmed this week and that inthat the ones that were slower to progress were glaringly obviously not happening.

She doesn't want a cocktail party. Chris panics. As he should. John/Wold feels confident. I don't think either of them should stay (or even be there still) Chris seems to have a panic attack he is wandering in tears talking to himself.... he other men seem to be secretly pleased.

Rose Ceremony

Sean has a rose.

3 roses remain.

1 will go home.

She explains why there is no cocktail party, it's purpose is to have unanswered questions answered, but this week she has all her questions answered because this week they were all so open and honest about how they were feeling.

- Jef gets a rose.
- Arie gets a rose.

(It seems telling Em you love her is a good move at this stage in the game.. I mean, journey)

and finally..... Chris asks for some time to talk... of course. I am glad he did, he looked like he was about to pass out or shake out or something. John Wold seems upset. As he should be. Now what? Who was she going to pick? Does this change her mind?

Final rose goes to Chris.

Poor Wolfman... I guess we will NEVER know why John is called "wolf" (what a rip off)

She apologizes. Says other relationships have moevd at a faster pace. He says "right, right" but seems to be in a zone - he admits he is shocked and thought him opening up on the date really connected them.... "yea it sucks" he says. *shrugs* I don't even care - except that we don't know why he is called wolf... that upsets me!

So there ends another episode of Bachelorette... dum dee dum...



So what did you think?


These 4 will take Emily home to meet their family. I love the family visits. You get to see the cray behind the men ha ha

Hells Kitchen - 13 chefs compete - Part 2

After a brief recap of last week's part one 13 chefs compete, we get started back in Hell's Kitchen.

The drama with Robyn and Kimmie continues.

We are preparing for the first ever fashion show in Hell's Kitchen.



More...

The men are quickly distracted by hot models on the runway. The res team criticize the models lack of eating, being too skinny.

Raw scallops, over cooked scallops, the women mess up - well Tiffany messed up, but wouldn't admit it even though Barbie tried to tell her they were no good.

Blue seems to be a bit more on top of things getting some appies out.

The usual chaos ensues. The fashion show runs and Ramsay gets the teams prepped for once the runway ends and they start entrees. Barbie can't recall how many of each meat, Robyn knows then goes ghetto in the diary room - I seriously can't handle it. they either cast black women who are stereotypically ghetto-trash-talking, or they cast white trasy women to be ghetto-talking. WTF?

The men are once again distracted by the bikini clad women walking down the catwalk. There is a fire in a pan and some burned meat. Ramsay is less than thrilled - obvs.

The women run out of meat after overcooking and Robyn tries to send her team mates to the blue kitchen to swipe some. A few try, but chicken out. Robyn finally admits she doesn't have enough meat and wants some frmo blue. He tells her no she is a silly cow and makes her go ask this customer what she wants instead.

The women continue to mess up. Between cooking things wrong, or sending wrong things up it was just a mess. Tiffany won't take responsibility for the bad swordfish but finally the entrees all get out.

....

The Blue team fights over nominations as usual and they ended with Clemenza and Brian or Guy.... Guy....

Ramsay surveys the blue team and the majority seem to think Clemenza should go home.

They each say their piece as to why they shoudl stay, Clemenza is deffo mroepassionate and fights HARD to stay.... it pays off..

In the end, Clemenza gets sent back in line and Guy goes home. The red team cheers.




What do you think? Do you agree with who went home?
