Pammy, I wanted him to stay for the same reasons. Although I bet we'll see our share of "unique" personalities with the surviving cast.

I'm looking to see how much sabotaging will be done and how overt it will be.

Ok, I was bored, went to the cbs site, and if you miss anything they do have a mini recap, plus it helps me with names - pics

(I cant imagine that an older woman will make it, but I do like Darlene, it says she is a Home Shopping Network Product person, yowzaa.. I think I like Heather, but we shall see...)

I enjoyed the show, too. The apple table was great, and at least these people are actually using their skills.

I also enjoy this show, except I don't like the concept of the contestants voting out one of their own. If they REALLY want a "stylist", shouldn't the judges make the final decision? They are not judges they seem to consultants. I'm glad Tom was voted off, but I know I couldn't watch Darlene for more than 5 seconds.

It's kind of like Survivor isn't it. You have a conflict of interest in that you want strong players so your team will win the challenge and not have to vote someone off, but at the same time, you want to get rid of your strong competitors so they don't beat you at the end.

I actually caught this show by accident (I'd recorded Thursday night's CBS lineup and my weekly schedule is to record from 8-11pm). And I was actually pleasantly surprised.

Some random thoughts...

Host: Yeah, I'm not sure about Joan Lundun as the host. I just feel like she's slumming a bit. But she did do a good job.

Judges: Sorry, I am NOT on the Bobby Flay bandwagon. I think he is way too full of himself. But yeah, it was kinda funny to watch the judges reactions when Tom listed all the reasons why he should not be voted off (and which, in my mind, were lots of reasons TO vote him off!). As far as Candace Bushnell, well, I know she's a NYer but that was the strangest outfit she wore when she was introduced. And the other one? Can't remember his name since I never watch the Early Show. But... well, I'll hold my opinion till I see more of him.

As to the show itself... I think Darlene forgot a really important thing. (She's the one with the tiff with Tom, yes?) They are FIRST a team, and THEN individuals. At least now, they are. I'd have kicked her off, but then the judges didn't pick her.

Ditto with Mychael, who seemed to make all the food items for the team display. I'm sure others on her team know how to cook, too!

I loved how the Crafty Beavers (gak! that name!) came up with their apple display. It was really creative and fun, and very attractive.

This is an interesting concept. I wasn't really sure how it would work out, with so many different areas of expertise.

Side note: I think San Diego is turning into a reality show contestant pool... people from San Diego are turning up in almost EVERY freakin' reality show these days. Kinda scary, to think about. Makes me wonder WTH is going on, though!

David Evangelista was the other judge. He used to be in charge of the Makeover Mondays on Rosie O'Donnell's show. He is a hoot! He is a very positive personality and has a great sense of humor. He was actually the one I enjoyed the most! LOL

Anyone think that Darlene looks like Dr. Phil's wife Robin? And that Heather looks like a red-headed Ally Sheedy?

Darlene's hair is similar (and her big eyes) ....Heather looks similar to Ally sheedy when Ally had bulemia. Sorry, but it is true. Heather has that same gaunt sickly look Ally had BEFORE she got help.

******

No comments about the show tonight>???? I loved it. Wish they showed MORE of the food preparation though. RARE lamb?? I was shocked at it being served BLOOD RARE. That is barely acceptable for BEEF at a party.....but WHAT was that cook thinking!!??

Also, a FRENCH party without french food?? Good riddance to that voted out lady...she set up her own team to LOSE!! Lying about the flour, Not making a french dinner menu and not keeping things organized and running smoothly. She should have CHECKED the lamb herself and not allowed it to be served in such a way. A quick grilling would have saved the day, in my opinion.


Yeah yeah, I'm an Armchair Judge LOL

The thing I noticed the most about tonights show is, the contestants argue with the judges and defend themselves. If they were thinking of being good hosts, then if a guest complained about warm champagne (or whatever) a gracious host would apologize and offer the remedy the situation.

I like this show! I’m amazed though at a few things, not the least being how poorly these supposed superstars are performing.

The Chef (Mychael) on the Crafty Beavers is very good. I agree that they should not “argue” with the guests/judges or talk about how tired they are. Talk about ungracious hosting!

The other team is really bad. That Darlene really sucks up to the judges at the expense of her team-mates. How could they get lobster that wasn’t any good? Did they buy it pre-cooked? Even out of season lobster isn’t normally that bad, it’s just not as full. And why wouldn’t they make the meal completely French?

Anyway, it’s a fun show and a tough one.

Well I'd have to agree with that. Can you imagine having them over for dinner?!?!

Well even I can cope with polite guests, I think the judges have to be demanding to see how the contestants would cope with difficult situations. The Crafty Beavers dealt with it basically by giving up, and on that basis alone they should have lost and I think they WOULD have lost if the others had not totally hosed up the food. I mean for heavens sake, you are having a DINNER party, you have to at least serve edible food!

UGH...that lobster was awful. I wonder if it was pre-cooked? If not, I bet they ruined it themselves. The French team had terrific desserts but my goodness, I could have cooked a better dinner than they did. Did you see that appetizer? Good grief!

I actually like Darlene. I think she knows exactly what mistakes they were making but was not assertive enough to change the direction their team was heading in.

All in all, I am loving this show. The hour flies by!

notice how they push darlene out of the way for the "group" challenge, but she hasn't been nominated for her "individual" project. tells you something about her projects. they should have listened to her about the sauce for the lobster and everything needing to be "french"

This show is fun to watch. I liked how the teams got their assignments--did they want red or white, inside or outside...
What makes me laugh is the high opinion a lot of these people have about themselves and their abilities. Woe onto anyone there who does'nt agree. Some get very defensive and freaked when they even think someone is challenging those wonderful abilities.
I don't why Mitch thought it was ok to say how he would serve hillbilly meals at his home, and you could wipe your mouth on your sleeve--anybody could say that while not trying to convince some judges they are better than Martha Stewart.

Last night's show was great! Although, I was disappointed we didn't get to see all of the Crafty Beavers individual projects.
