    Loved Emma's "STFU" at Will, but the whole scene made me squirm. Will, when you want to pretend that you're not in love with a woman who's not your wife, you don't refer to your "relationship"; you refer to your "friendship." Additionally, in the scene with the belly reveal, he went from "I love you" to "I loved you" in about ten seconds. She did a horrible thing, but if your "love" disappears in one scene, which also happens to come after a scene in which your refer to your "relationship" with a woman who you just need to have by your side at sectionals, then you're probably not that much better.

    I am traveling again and didn't get to see this. My plan was to go home Saturday and watch the DVD and read the non-live live blog while doing so. I didn't want to know who went home.

    But the Joshua David Stein writing did me in once again. I actually read every word that he writes, slowly, which I almost never do anymore with my internetz twitterfied attention span.

    So when I read the judges descriptions of the dishes I thought Jen was a finale shoo-in. Her lack of confidence irks me though so who knows? Michael Voltaggio would not be as bad a winner as Lex Luthor of last season (I wanted hootie hoo and am still upset about it).

    But I like Bryan best out of the remainders and really hope he takes it all.

    But damn you Stein...you messed up my weekend plans with your talented writing. Now I have to go have a life or something.

    at the beginning of the show, they clarified why the "band" is there. One of the glee kids had a connection with the jazz band.

    The belly reveal was so much less satisfying than I thought it would be, which I guess is actually to their credit; it was just too sad to get as much glee (pun actually not intended) from it as I would have liked.

    Here's what I never got: Since when is an egg a "vegetarian" dish?

    I understand that some vegetarians eat eggs (and more eat cheese, which the other chefs put in in their dishes), but it still seems as if he disregarded the rules for this challenge.

    @TedSez: By definition, vegetarians are not averse to ingesting animal byproducts, as long as harvesting of said byproducts did not result in the bodily harm or death of the animals that yielded them. Thus eggs, milk, honey, cheese, etc. are perfectly correct vegetarian fare.

    @snugbug: My objection is that the point seemed to be to have two categories of dishes -- one centered around vegetables and the other around "proteins." To me, an egg is definitely a protein, whether or not someone who identified as vegetarian would eat it.

    A lot of things have protein in them that are un-meaty. Soy beans, for example.

    @TedSez: That's kind of a faulty semantic distinction, though, perpetrated by common speech conventions. If you want to get technically correct about it, proteins are organic compounds construed of essential amino acids that exist in living entities of both animal and vegetal origin. They are absolutely essential to growth and reproduction. Granted, flora-derived protein is not processed by the human body as effectively as its fauna-derived counterparts--hence the common parlance truism that "protein" solely equals animal byproduct protein. But vegetables contain protein as well. Actually, nothing alive does NOT not contain proteins.

    @BaconForTheSoul: Srsly. Carl Lewis won 10 track-and-field Olympic medals as a vegetarian. It boggles the mind, but I guess it's technically possible, if you micro-manage your diet..

    @snugbug: It may be faulty, but those are the semantic distinctions that chefs use. In the show's context, "proteins" are meat, fish, and the like. Which is all I meant... not that this conversation isn't interesting.

    I can't remember if told this story on one of Hippity's liveblog threads or not, but...

    Mrs. BMC FC and I dined at Friar Tuck's establishment recently. At the end of the night after many drinks I gave Kevin a big high 5 and yelled "WE LOVE YOU KEVIN!"

    (To the eternal embarrassment of Mrs. BMC FC, natch.)

    Oh la, glorious recap--not least thanks to the epic ode to Erica..

    This was a great demi-finale. Santa Jennifera's crucifixion gave me the sads, but what are you going to do? Dura judges table, sed judges table! (Does anyone know enough Latin to translate that properly?)

    Michael, "Lord of the beaded bracelet", could have served dog crap....which he sort of did....and the producers would have kept him.

    Like a crazy person, I kept trying to tell which direction Padma was looking when she announced the winner in previews.

    Hope bearded nice guy wins.

    Would have loved M.Volt to go home last night; the douchiness should've been over with the exit of Eli the Sad Velvet Hobbit. Alas, I'm guessing sibling rivalry is good for ratings.

    I love you, Jen! If you ever decide to move to Philly's only good kosher restaurant, I vow to eat there weekly. For at least a month.

In the meantime, they were going on about M. Volt's disgusting egg all night.

    Hello Tom. Hello Michael. Hello Gail. Hello Princess Mononoke.

    BMC FC is not much of a smoker, but if If Netflix ever ships "Princess Mononoke" to your house, make SURE you have a bag of pot handy.

    I was subjected to a forced viewing of this show yesterday, and marveled at the sheer banality of the non-problems plaguing these poor tormented creatures. The entire substance of what little plot there is seems to be based on the fact that the characters are attractive.

    Having said that, I did take a liking to "Sleazy T." What makes him so sleazy? Does he run a child slavery ring? Did he bang a tranvestite prostitute in his parents' bed? I SMELL SPIN OFF!
