FINALLY, after what seems like six months (i.e. the length of time it takes to read my average recap), we’re back at Judges’ Table…

and nobody’s having a good time
McBitchyson gets nothing but praise, praise, praise for everything (except her greasy papadum), so let’s skip to Stoner Sheldon. Scar wants to know how he felt about the challenge, and he repeats that he felt it was “uninspiring” to him because he likes to cook through his ingrediences, and some of the ingrediences just didn’t speak (slowly enough) to him. Daddy Tom stops him: “But y-you chose your ingredients!”…

um. I didn’t do so much thinkings about that
Daddy continues, “Why did you choose filet and lobster if they weren’t speaking to you?” Lacking a good answer to that, Stoner says he felt like he could execute those items well. Stone Fox points out that he did not even do that, because there were a couple of things on the plate that were almost inedible, cold tempura and bland “dynamite” sauce would deserve to be sent back, even if served at Applebee’s. Hughnibrow says they were supposed to “re-imagine” Surf’N'Turf, whereas Stoner just plain imagined it. Ouch.
StacheBear gets kudos from Stone Fox, Daddy Tom and Hughnibrow for his accidentally successful scallop scramblies. And that’s all I have to say about that.
ThumbyHead. Ohhh, ThumbyHead. Scar says she was excited when she heard he was making a dish with eel, because Stefan had such a deft hand with it way back in Season 5… but Stone Fox says adding the parsnip completely blew the eel out of the water. Daddy Tom points out the quarter-inch of grease that had collected at the top of his sauce jars, and Thumby claims he skimmed the pork grease a bunch of times, but in the 45 minutes it took to get the plate out to the dining room, more collected. Hughnibrow says the chefs should be choosing dishes that actually work, not going with stuff that’s going to slowly sabotage them. As the coup de grâce for this abortion of a dish, Daddy Tom says the pork skin was the worst part because it got extremely hard and he nearly broke his teeth on it. Stone Fox agrees, he likes the crispy skin, too, but Thumby’s was on the verge of no return, he could clearly hear Daddy Tom trying to munch his way through it…

your dick should feel about that big right now

don’t vorry, it does
They really don’t have much to say to Lizzie Borden, other than her cabbage wasn’t cooked enough, but the rest of the dish was tasty and they enjoyed it. So who won this round? Well, it’s McBitchyson! And not only does she win, but Sell-Out-Pretty Cruises is giving her a free 7-night Caribbean vacation on one of their brand new boats!…

yay, just what someone with Thalassophobia really needs

A little correction, “Europeans (Outside Of, Like, France and [Italy]).”
This season has felt really long. And none of the challenges have been exciting.
I hope StacheBear gets kicked off next week. Does he seriously not hear the crap he spews? Just think there is one a woman out there who let him impregnate her multiple times.
I don’t know if Lizzie can win, but I think she could sneak into st least the final 3. She really under the radar. I can’t remember most of the things she’s cooked.
What in the hell is papadum, it sounds like lady parts!!!
“He walks like a chef” LMFAO. What the hell kind of statement is that?
I’m actually very glad that the “second chance” chefs are all gone. I didn’t agree with them returning in the first place
Top Model or McBitchyson needs to win this thing.
Overall this was a crappy episode – thanks to J-Mo for making it entertaining.
Yay for the Alaska picture! (Queen-style, not state-style)
I love that McBitchsyon called Sheldon out for only ever making Asian food. It’s about time someone hear my screams from my apartment! I love the, “I’m not!” “Bullshit!” exchange.
When does Top Model get to come back into the competition? And is the Save a Chef real? Like does someone else also get voted back onto the show?! It’s like they are afraid they won’t get renewed so they’re just stretching it out as long as they can. I’d love to have Badma get left out in the tundra somewhere and left there. She didn’t always bother me this much, but she’s cranked it up several notches this season. I love Hughnibrow, can he be full time? He’s so blunt and honest, and I don’t feel like he plays favorites.
Hi Chica! We missed you!
Walking like a chef simply means you paid your dues to get your cushy job and bit the pillow . . . kidding . . .
McBitchy seems to be the front runner in this grouping. Thumby was way overdue for departure. Stachy can kiss my assey, that is some real tired, cliched, sexist, homophobe bullshit he touted thinking he was funny. I don’t think you’re wrong about him, J-mo. How many times does he just bury the conversation in douchiness for the sake of being a douche!!!
Would love to see an all girl finale, including the returning Top Model. Stoner and Stashy seem like two really weak choices, and are just lucky to have shined a few times on challenges they were suited too. Lizzy seems way more well rounded and experimental, as does McBitchy, so I’m crossing my fingers!!!
Sorry I didn’t comment last week, was crazed here, but I had your recap to keep me company throughout and loved it like always!!! Mwah!!! You’re killing it with your photoshop stuff!!!
“rough hands help you hold the pig in place while you fuck it”
FUCKING GENIUS! ok back to reading. Damn that was good
Question for the male gender gasmi – what does it mean when a guy *coughthumbyheadcough* manages to mention on EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE. that he’s not gay?
Does it mean he’s not or he’s the opposite of not?
Oh and ‘His total lack of comprehendible critiques is pissing me off… ‘….I agree. He needs to just shut up and look pretty. Or go get a jar of pickled lettuce and we’ll get our freak on.
@timgunnssister, it might mean he gets mistaken for gay a lot, so he needs to keep it perfectly clear that he is not. I know what you are implying, but I don’t think you can count on that.
Oh, I am NOT gay by the way. I am sooooo NOT gay that the sight of my own dick absolutely disgusts me.
Thank God they extended the episode for an extra 15 minutes, I really needed an in-depth look at how chefs get manicures. And how homophobia is alive and well in the Midwest.
I’m on page for and am laughing so hard my ribs hurt!
*thought bubbles* bacon bacon bacon bacon chicks cant cook bacon bacon bacon don’t look gay bacon bacon
ROFL! It was hysterical and fun to search for each hidden gem. You are fricken’ brilliant!
” SpongeBitch SuckPants”
Oh, J-Mo, you always make a (STILL for fuck’s sake) very sick girl literally laugh (or snort) out loud. *First* paragraph. Thank you.
Back to reading…
Oh, and I apologize if this has been previously discussed, but WTF is UP with the wierd-pointy-crazy-ass-curly-q mustaches this year?
Two auditioned (Stachey being the one chosen, obvs), and now we’ve got another one on PR!? I think its PR, anyway. Is this some new trend/competition/whatthefuckever I’ve not heard about? Although I must say I have grown to like our hairy little troll on Top Chef. He amuses the hell out of me.
“and the Magical Elves to keep everyone else at least 10 feet away”
I think that’s the stench of old man balls.
“Oh, I am NOT gay by the way. I am sooooo NOT gay that the sight of my own dick absolutely disgusts me”
Awesome, crankyguy.
I’m so not gay, I hated my penis so much that I got it changed a vagina… And then that looked weird, so I got boobs put in.
Boy was my wife pissed. Not because of the change, but because I keep stretching out all of her clothes.
You have to realize J-Mo that I’ve stopped watching the show. It just ruins your recaps!
StacheBear, you’re a douche. If you were forced to live in a world without bacon you would shrivel up and die. You prolly pleasure holding bacon in you mouth, lubeb up in bacon grease, rubbing against a pork belly and oinking!
J-Mo -I love the recaps. The first thing I do is scroll down to see how many pages. If more than 15, I am in heaven. You deliver the goods. I still laugh at gems from prior recaps.
Great recap, J-Mo!
I’m thinking that StoneFox must have spent some time with Stoner Sheldon right before this epi was filmed. That would help explain his utter inability to form coherent sentences.
Does anyone else think Lizzie’s Dad (may he rest in peace) looks like The Most Interesting Man In The World?
Thanks for reminding me how much I loved Dirty Bear during his season. He was adorable.
@timgunnsister: You’ve got a good point about Stache’s gay denial. He does protest too much. If he is though, he would probably be an even lonelier person than as a straight guy. I can’t think of a single self-respecting gay guy that would appreciate his unfortunate combination of insecurity, inferiority complex, 1890s facial hair, pork product-themed T-shirts, hate for Oklahoma, and beady cartoon character eyes.
JMo,
Please write a book.
Love,
Georgia
J-Mo,
I second Georgia’s motion.
Love,
Amy
This recap made me laugh so hard. Thank you!
P.S. Yes, what Georgia said!
Hey J-Mo!
Just had to pop in here & tell you I’m reading through your ANTM recaps & LOVING them! I just watched your video from Miss Gay Phoenix and it was epic! Amazing recovery from the sound malfunction!
Ok, off to read about the aftermath of MeeMaw throwing Homegirl to the wolves at judging!
Lots of love for J-Mo!
Aw shucks, you guys are so sweet! I bet if you put all of my recaps together in one, you’d have a Stephen King-sized book by now, LOLOLOLOL!
And MadelineNYC, thanks so much, I’m glad you liked the video and that you’re enjoying my turn on ANTM… the sad thing is, one of my cats died right in the middle of that cycle (I literally had to stop working on an episode mid-recap at 2am to go take her to be put down) so I barely remember much about it at all… if the jokes are a little threadbare, you can chalk it up to that…
love, J-Mo
Oh no! I’m so sorry! We’ll I’m past the halfway point and never noticed a drop in quality so you didn’t drop the recapping ball at all.
My only big disagreement I have with you was that I’m team Allison/Anime-Eyes. LOL!
I’m about to start on when they go overseas, just after poor recovering bulemic Jesus Freak got the boot from Tyra. Ah the Oprah-like sensitivity & philanthropy just oozes from her pores… No, wait, that’s bacon grease.
“Ah the Oprah-like sensitivity & philanthropy just oozes from her pores… No, wait, that’s bacon grease.”
@MadelineNYC: I doubt anyone is reading this thread anymore (except maybe poor J-Mo whom likely gets a notice or some shit about a new comment on an old recap that he thought was done/finished/gone/see ya bye, lol), but DAMN, girl…that was funny
LOL! Thank you! It was the most recent posting I could find by J-Mo to thank him for his awesome ANTM recapping,
I think I may have to check those out, as well! I wasn’t around back when he recapped them
They’re pretty hilarious! He was recapping just as Tyra was spinning further and further away from reality ( As opposed to now when she’s jumped the shark so far she actually landed on another planet. A planet where she’s a brilliant actress and the rivers are filled with BBQ sauce)
I’m glad thumby is off the show but I am sticking to my stubborn resolve of really liking him. True I haven’t watched this season but I’m glad I still like him, unlike CJ who was one of my favorite until his fiasco here.
