I agree with Tom, that it would be better if it were a real talent contest.


You know, it all seems to be about the Individual tasks though. Yes, there is a team comp but when you get right down to the nittygritty it is the individual project that gives us the two least deserving / least talented individuals to be voted off.


So Mychael could cook, what ELSE could she do? Rarely delegated. I truly never saw her do anything else (but I must confess I sort of half watch the show while I do other stuff

I loved this comp. The camping idea was great and both teams did a pretty good job of making the site interesting. I LOVED the portapotty ROTFL!!

I make turkey burgers and the texture can be kinda funny when you make them thick. I think this is why there was a concern whether it was properly cooked.

I liked the idea of a good old fashioned burger meal. What ever happened to the ground sirloin?? The only comment bobby flay made was that when you serve something ordinary like burgers It better be "out of the park" like apple pie? or something like that. I didnt think that the judges HATED the food, just that it was too plain.

I am glad the Artisian team won finally and I think it was the OUTHOUSE that won it for them ha ha.

What ever happened to the ground sirloin??

They made both sirloin burgers and turkey burgers and gave everyone a choice. Bobby and Candace went with sirloin, so only David(of the judges at least) had the turkey burger.

I thought Bobby making that "out of the park" comment again was funny, since one of the Artisan women had referred to that quote from the apple pie thing when they were deciding on the menu. Don't remember which one it was(I was thinking Kimberly, since it was her apple pie), but they were in favor of a more complicated menu.

I love this show.

The problem with Michael is that she wasn't well liked by her team. If you are unlucky enough to be one of the 2 people up for ousting nine out of ten times the least liked person will be gone. People skills will get you far in life. Might not be fair but that's the way it works, at least until the herd is thinned out more.

I'm guessing the cooking part is the easiest. People can generally follow a recipe. It's more difficult to be creative with the nuts and bolts of these challenges. And I think the hosting skills play a part too. So Michael's departure shouldn't be a problem for her team.

The portapotty was great. I thought the landscaping was a great idea. Both were Darlene’s doing, right?

I can't believe that the beds were unmade. That totally blew my mind.

Just seems to me that so far two of the most able people have been voted off. The others even have said that they voted off people who were the biggest threats.

Ironically, the best strategy for winning is having super individual projects and sabotaging your own team.

and dont forget to comment that they just took someone from the Beavers to the Artisans - that was not the best way, if it was a "neutral" way, like, all of your names have been placed in a hat, and one of you will go over... ok, if that's the way,but to just say, we did it fair, and so and so, you are now team Artisan...

Next week episode to include:
· One contestant becomes frustrated by a teammate's seeming inability to complete a project.

· A team's fate hangs in the balance when one of its key members devotes too much time to an individual project.

· Two teammates engage in a war of words when one takes credit for the other's work.

· A very heated elimination ceremony takes place when one of the contestants confronts the judges.


It sounds like they figured out that strategy Puzzled!

But I think Mychael deserved to go. She never really contributed anywhere except in the kitchen. And don't forget... she was the one who went to bed early that first night, when all the rest of her team was up working hard on their apple display.

At this point in the game, it's still about teamwork. And it's still about being an "all around" type of person. Just because you excel at one thing is not a reason to keep you. And then there was her abrasive personality. OK, so she was a good cook. But she never listened to anyone else's ideas. In fact, she rode over any other suggestions or just flat out ignored them.

I'm glad TA finally won, although I cringed with the turkey burger. I loved the outhouse idea, and I thought they were quite smart to fix up the sleeping area to make it inviting (unlike CB's horrible mess).

Oh BTW - anybody else use a thermometer when cooking? I mean really there is no excuse for raw food in this day and age!! Last night dh was using the George Foreman grill and he had a thermometer in it - it dawned on me, we always take one camping with the Boy Scouts, we make them learn about safe hamburger temperature!! Those boys are good at burning the outside, with raw in the inside!!

And with the camp comp. I wonder if the judges dont assign points for different things... for instance... Artisans, 1 point for> campground plants, the outhouse, the tent, the table, their campfire song was original, and comfy... subtract one or two points for food... oh and shouldnt they get a point for the gifts, and giving the judges the matching outfits? (OK start with 10 points per item!! lol)

team beaver> 1 point food, table... they lose on their tent beds not made, they lose on the duct tape on the tent, they may not get as many points for their entertainment, wasnt that hokey? Kinda clog stepping, but on a campout???

just a thought

I think you are right Reader about the points. I did notice the judges jotting down notes in a notebook.

I do agree Mychael was an extraordinary cook but it will take more than being great at one task...this is an all around competition. I am willing to bet others on the Beaver team are pretty good cooks as well, given a chance.

I explained about the turkey burgers in a previous post. Also, turkey cooks really fast and has less shrinkage.

I mean really there is no excuse for raw food in this day and age!!

If the food was RAW the judge would not have asked the others what they thought. He seemed to be puzzled by the texture and the colour.

*****

On another note I must say, I have never thought about bringing a meat thermometer along when BBQ or camping. Good idea!

I agree sunshyne turkey burgers also dry out very fast as well!! But they did show a pic of David's burger, it did look "raw", I thought he was asking the other judges as a way to confirm his point in the judging arena... but then again, I may be giving them WAY too much credit!!

(we often grill at night so we never judge by color, or time as the coals sometimes cool down too fast! So I've found a thermometer, one of those quick ones is best (not one that you have to wait for!.. lol QUICK read!!)

According to the CBS website the show is moving to Saturday's at 8pm starting this week. Tonight they are showing a re-air of Without A Trace instead. There's an article about their reasons on the Reality News Online website(www.realitynewsonline.com) if anybody's interested.

Thanks for the info! Great news and good move for CBS. They're filling The Will's old slot. Between the O.C. and The Apprentice it was just too much on at once.

I'm not at all unhappy that they moved it. Thursday night was too much with The Apprentice. I was watching WP on Saturday anyway.

I'm unhappy because that means I don't have anything to watch at that time on Thursdays. I tried to watch Joey, but that show was awful ... sigh ...

Hmm my cable company still has 48 hours mystery at 8pm this Saturday. That could change, of course. I'll watch then, probably

I certainly dont like that there are no guidelines for their individual projects, there should be a dollar limit, as well as a time limit!! GIVE ME A BREAK - and LOL at Mr Show OFF, trying to scare the other team with his creation, and ROFLOL at a judge's reaction. AHHH well... maybe next time, LOL you know, there really cant be a next time, unless the winner's contract is only a year, until the next show's winner...

I thought it was rather foolish of Mitch to admonish that judge for calling his work ugly. He's aspiring to get into that field, and he's telling people who are already successful in that line of work how to "be professional?" Sure, she was a guest judge, and probably won't be judging any more of his work on this show. But does he really think the other judges won't take notice? And, if he does make it in the field, he's likely to encounter her again.
