Josh is a fucking tool. I think he's trying for the Johnny Fairplay/Puck/Santino niche, but he's not even that interesting. And for Johnny Fairplay to be more interesting than you says a lot, and none of it good.

I like Rock. Which means he totally won't win.

You know who else is a total tool? Vinnie. In fact, I've got no love for any of the men, except for Rock. As for the women, I have a feeling that the blonde one will start working my last nerve something fierce.

You and me both, Dr. S. I would love a Rock-Julia final two.

I happened to catch this last night and I was also surprised that Aaron wasn't nominated. At first, I expected GR to blow a gasket that Rocky didn't nominate him, and then I sort of came to the conclusion that maybe GR was okay with it because it was his opportunity to get rid of Eddie. Poor Eddie, that GR had been making fun of throughout the whole episode. I also thought that maybe the reason Rocky didn't put Aaron up was because Aaron wasn't in the kitchen through the entire challenge, and therefore Rocky didn't see just how poorly Aaron was doing. It's not like Aaron was in the kitchen screwing up dishes and holding up entrees.

(Is it Rock or Rocky?)

Rock. You're thinking of the last Survivor season. And you make a good point about why Aaron wasn't nominated. Perhaps if he had gone to Rock and said, "I want to go home" it would have been different.

Something is very wrong when I'm watching a cooking competition, I hear "Rock" and the mind starts start humming Simon and Garfunkel rather than thinking "The Rock smells what you're cooking". What can I say? Child of the Seventies, yo.

So Julia leads the women to victory in the breakfast challenge and makes no glaring mistakes during the dinner service.....like, oh, for example, digging pasta out of the trash can to serve to customers....and those women still think she's the obvious one to nominate along with Joanna for elimination. Because she works at Waffle House and didn't know what a creme brulee was? Because Waffle House girl obviously isn't in the same league with the rest of them. The rest of them including a "chef" who would pull pasta out of the trash can and fully intend to serve it?

And boy, oh boy, was I waiting on Ramsay to catch her doing that....the explosion would have registered on the Richter Scale.
At least Jen owned up to her actions there at the end, so I give her points for that. But damn! You're going to take stuff out of the trash and serve it? Please let me know where you end up working, hon.

So glad that Aaron is gone. I still can't figure out if the guy was faking or not, but either way he was starting to enter creepy territory.

Oh, I was so pissed when Julia was nominated. How in the world is she worse than the "chef" who was ready to serve garbage?! I so wanted Ramsey to go off on her ass when she owned up to what she did. I think he was in too much shock. I wonder what was wrong with Aaron. He was getting creepy. I was waiting for him to die any second. As for the crab, how can you not know when seafood is rotten? Do you really have to take time to sniff it? Shouldn't the smell have knocked her on her ass? Joanna pretty much deserved to go and I didn't really like her much, but I did like how she stood up for Julia. I hope Julia kicks ass and outlasts all the women.
