If all the envelopes had been in a big basket, and each competitor had to draw one in turn, I'd be much more convinced the teams were random.MoHubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-68875769233102025892013-06-24T08:10:45.949-04:002013-06-24T08:10:45.949-04:00I knew Lovely was gone the minute she made the don...I knew Lovely was gone the minute she made the donuts from pizza dough! Even I'm a better pastry cook than that.<br /><br />I notice Giada slipped and pronounced the word "spaghetti" correctly. So that whole "spageetee" thing is a total affectation. She's slipped a bit in my estimation recently.<br /><br /><br /><br />And hey, we bet Bob back next week!

But im a spoil sport and already read who was eliminated anyways.. <br /><br />From what I saw tonight I actually do like Lovely as an entertainer, she actually was the best in her group in the video but yeah fried pizza dough is just a big question mark on her part...... its not even glam its glob! In retrospect Lovely was the first to speak in the episode so perhaps they were foreshadowing her elimination all along giving her more air time before being eliminated which is typical for reality shows to do when theres still lots of people is to focus on the ones in danger.. <br /><br />It seemed rigged in an interesting way tho. Certain people were perfect for their theme, some were out of their element but coped well but really would have done way better on another team... Lovely probably could have survived this week if she were on Romance, Chad on Western, and Nikki on Musical (but she did fine on Western anyways) those switches would have made each team more dynamic and appropriate even if it were supposed to be 'random' ... i dont think it were could you imagine Musical being Chad, Russell, and Viet?! Although culinary-wise possibly brilliant but the video would have been mad awkward! The teams had to be pre determined imo... <br /><br />Its interesting for Viet and Lovely because in their videos they were perhaps the best... Romance was awkward in general and Damaris and Chad's lines were just ridiculously bad sexual innuendo! Although funny it wasnt really supposed to be so it was massive fail on their part but I dunno Im still on the fence on Chad is it natural charm or cheesy goodness thats carrying him?!... both Lovely and Viet though bombed their desserts.. and Rodney just failed where he should have... you really couldnt understand him so I dont get why he just messed up but sometimes its that curse of being on top one week and then letting nerves of staying there get to you... <br /><br />Oh by th way everyone: Dont worry power has restored after about 3 hours (for now) ... so not too bad on response but long enough to make some worry.. the fact it was a whole coastline and a few counties wide is pretty astounding though!alternnoreply@blogger.com
