I'm not a fan of Autumn and Scott. People like that, with massive egos and nothing to back it up, really need to be taken down a notch.

I'm not a fan of Autumn, but I thought Scott was getting a good edit at least during the episode -

I was very distracted tho - my DS got home from Paris! so the show was on in the background!

Still NO LURK?? hey, whats up with that?!

I thought I had missed the first competition and went to the library to watch it on hulu today. Apparently the epi STARTED with the girls winning the first competition, so I had really only missed a few minutes of it!

I have lived here for almost 12 years and my English accent is still the same. At work I often talk to Brits who have lived here for 20, 30 and more years and who still have their accents. It all depends on different factors... your age when you moved to a different country... your unwillingness to blend in (a neighbour of mine lost her English accent within a couple of years of moving to the US).

Plus, if you're still surrounded by accents. If Salvatore is working in a family restaurant and his family has the thick accent, it's probably really difficult for him to lose his. I know that I'll talk to an Aussie friend for a couple of days and suddenly I have a faint Aussie accent! And I've never even been down under!

He stated that he couldn't write in English, so maybe he didn't go to school here at all. I doubt that his family/fellow workers speak English - with of without accents - among themselves.

Costa - You would love Australia and NZ. That was the trip of a lifetime for me!!

Oh yeah, it's on my list of things to do before I die. I've got friends on both continents. It's just taking enough time off to get my butt down there. I'm lucky to get a week off next month (Maui here I come!).

Oh Maui, very nice! My parents came to the state both knowing the same amount of English, none. My father worked with mostly men from the ld country and my mom stayed home and spoke with the American neighbors, teachers etc. My father never lost his heavy accent where my mom not only ended up with a better vocabulary but less of an accent. I really truly thought he was faking the accent but now I think it's real. But if he's working around people speaking Italian his accent might stay the same. Maybe it is fake???? Oh I don't know.

Although it kind of looked like Scott was getting a good edit, if you pay attention to the background music during his confessionals (when he kept talking about stepping in and helping those with less experience), the music was definitely a mocking "hero" music type stuff. That's when I knew he was going to be one of the ones put up.

I'm surprised Autum didn't get hit with over dressing the salad. She sure was dumping that stuff on!

Costacat, I'd be counting. Maui and R&R is worth counting down.

Whoami, I saw that too , Autum over dressing the salad.

I think the head's up on Scott was the fact that they kept going back to him saying how helpful he was.

The way Scott spoke, my grandma use to call that 'buffin' and a spittin'. You're usually doing that while you are pushing someone up on a pedestal, but knock them down to make room for you.

Like Ramsey said, the man is not humble at all. And he ain't all that for him to think so highly of himself. If he showed at least an ounce of humility, maybe it wouldn't have been so painful to hear him speak.

Alliet, you don't have the accent, we (Americans) have it, many of them.

JMO, but 'we', 'Americans' speak English. Well, where did it come from? England!

To me the changes in the language, 'accent', words for different things.......these are American accents.

My son had a friend who's fathers job sent him to Germany. This kid was in 5th grade, in a German school, and he failed his English class because he was raised with 'Amerian English', not U.K.'s English. Sweet kid had no idea what a trolly was.

So Alliet, you don't have the accent...us Americans do.

Zgood, are you serious?

"my grandma use to call that 'buffin' and a spittin'. You're usually doing that while you are pushing someone up on a pedestal, but knock them down to make room for you."

Were you really taught that? I'm, not sure that I wish I had been taught that or that I'm glad I wasn't. Hurting someone for gain is so foregin to me. Perhaps that is why I am on the outs with the other Mom's in my kids social circles. I never was taught or learned the politics.


No offense, just a whooper of an insite.

Mummy (I'm sticking my nose in on your post to Zgood), the way I took that post was not that one is specifically taught to hurt someone for one's own gain, but that when you see someone else who does that, that they call it "buffin and spittin." Unfortunately, no matter what any of us has ever been taught, we usually will run into people like that sometime in our lives.

Who (nose welcome), rereading my post, I apologize to Zgood if I worded it wrongly. I didn't mean that Z was taught to do it, just that Z was told about it.

I can't even assume my Mom didn't know this now that I think more about it. I remember her backing out of the PTA because of the politics. Perhaps she didn't want to buff and spit for years. Or even see it happen.

I wish she had told me more about it all before she passed.

Nobody - Autumn and Scott were switched to each other's teams.

No, that was not what I was taught to do. That is what my grandma called people who did that.

Good grief, I remember when we polished our shoes by buffing and spitting. Seems like a century ago.

That Autumn is a snake - trying to get folks to send food back to the kitchen! FOTH's job is to make people happy, not sink the kitchen!!

And - just as I suspected and wrote above - Salvatore does NOT have any education in this country.

Is Autumn trying to sabotage her team?
