Either she’s getting a really sweet edit, or this woman is hyper-aware of how stuff gets pulled out of context, because even when she congratulates herself for having done something risky, she doesn’t find the need to declare herself better than everyone else. Maybe she figures actually winning challenges will do that for her? In any case, she is now in possession of immunity for the Elimination Challenge.

And what is their Elimination Challenge? Well, Scar says on the following day they’re going to be carted out to the Remlinger Farms Berry Festival (which sounds like a mighty Christmassy event if I’ve ever heard of one) and so they’ll be cooking with berries… in a head-to-head battle with another chef. Several of the chefs get very excited over this prospect, especially StacheBear, who tells us that he was a good wrestler who “placed” in Oklahoma State competition when he was in high school…

He says this is totally going to be “like a wrestling match” for him. Minus the physical contact. And the sexy costumes. And the knee-pads. And the homoeroticism. But otherwise…

exactly like a cooking challenge

Since Top Model was the winner of the QuickFire, she’s cooking alone, but she can still win the Elimination Challenge. Then the top five chefs from the QuickFire (Stoner Sheldon, Rapunzel, ThumbyHead Stefan, Sir Barts-a-lot and… *snort*… Blowsie) get to choose their head-to-head opponent from the bottom five (StacheBear, Lizzie Borden, McBitchyson, Hater-Tots and Moley). Stoner gets to start, and he picks Moley, claiming he’s doing so because Moley is a “young gun” (he’s only 2 years younger than Stoner) and he wants a challenge… but I’m gonna call bullshit and say he picked him because he thinks he can easily beat him.

Rapunzel chooses StacheBear, ostensibly because she’s from Texas and Stachey’s from Oklahoma, and there is apparently some kind of sports rivalry between the two states (snooze) but I’m gonna call bullshit and say she picked him because they’re both gingers and she wants to bang him. Then ThumbyHead Stefan chooses Hater-Tots, declaring he’s going to “whip his ass”, and telling us he picked him because Hater is so damned old. I’m not calling bullshit there.

Then it’s Blowsie’s turn, and she decides to take on Lizzie Borden. Lizzie’s not worried at all, she tells us she’s got way more experience than Blowsie, and she’s cooked for Dismoond Tyutyu and Nilsin Mandila twoice, so Blowsie can suck it. And then this happens…

a very subtle version of “get the fuck off of me”

I’m sure Blowsie thinks that she’s being cutesy and rakishly adorable, but this right here is a perfect example of how she engenders a negative response in people. She’s not good friends with Lizzie, why would she think it was appropriate to get all handsy like that? Because badass rawkers (such as herself) are known (and allowed) to manhandle people against their will? That’s just annoying and stupid on her part, and it’s only going to get worse later on, as you all will soon see.

    How is Blowsie still here? I’ve was expecting Daddy Tom to send her home as soon as he could for that turkey. And are her teeth to big for her to close her mouth. Her mouth is always open.

    I didn’t catch Stefan’s wave or comment. All I saw was him trying to Hater and Blosie flipping him off. Only thing I got out of that fight, is that he finds Blowsie as grating as the rest of the world.

    Lucky Chunky and Chica! I’m pretty sure all my cat is getting is coal. But she’s only 7 months old. So maybe Santa will give her a pass this year. Since it is her 1st Christmas.

    “…but I’m gonna call bullshit and say she picked him because they’re both gingers and she wants to bang him…”

    Wow, until I read that sentence, I wasn’t sure that “projectile vomiting” was a real thing. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

    BTW, you owe me $200 for a new monitor.

    I’ll have an interest in Last Chance Kitchen once UniBall is off. He has to have used up at least 8 of his lives thus far. Once Blowsie and Stachebear are sent packing, the next eliminated chef after that is when Last Chance gets very interesting.
    Confused, as well, over the whole Stefan and Blowsie blow-up. Next week looks REALLY interesting when she goes totally apesh*t while the other contestants look on with open mouths.
    Stefan is always such a flirt. He finds the cutest girl in the group and becomes her constant companion. Remember when he did that to Jamie/Turtle even though she’s gay?? I think that she even told him something along the lines of “You know I’m gay, right?”

    If every dish was inexplicably served with a tongue depressor maybe we could solve our nations obesity problem. I feel so fat right now…

    just wanted to say a big thank you for adding on the last chance kitchen crap. mildly interested but don’t want to add to the time invested in this show. I guess I’ll vote Kristen? but we’ll see. I want to like stachebear (Is that what you call him?) But he makes it hard.
    Merry Christmas J-Mo! and all the gasmics!

    J-Mo, your recaps are great! Thank you!

    I’m still puzzled at that cake Top Model made. Is it really possible to make that cake in less than 30 min and to bake it in the foil?? Amazing or bs??

    I liked Stephanie, but girlfriend is resembling a cavewoman with that hair! I was LMAO at your Yoda talk! :D

    J-Mo – your kitty christmas porn is adorable! Danke for that and the recap.

    Lord, let there be a Houdini challenge that requires these asshats to pick out their fish while in a tank in a straitjacket. What?? There would be someone to pull them out if they panic…eventually…

    Blowsie – you make me hate beavers, and chipmunks, and pianos (the white keys). Oh, and having to cheer CJ, if and when you get to the Last Chance Kitchen. You make me irrationally hate things!!! And based on the roller derby, more of her crackling and whooping and probably lame cooking. Hate!!!

    Thumby – my husband hates him. In an obsenity strewn diatribe way that he unleashed last night. It was a nice moment between us. :)

    This season is coming close to the fucktard nightmare that was forced on us during the DC season. Otherwise known as “NO FUCKING WAY!!” Top Chef.

    Team Super Model – she’s tall and looks good without makeup, so I should hate her. But, hey she is talented and seems sweet.

    Aw damn it’s good to be back and to find a J-Mo recap up, with all it’s glorious photos, captions, snark and hilarity.

    I just got out of the hospital tonight (having been there since Monday – yes, Christmas Eve).

    Double yay!

    Aww, thanks, LAC. I was for awhile and now I’m crossing my fingers that it doesn’t come back (partial intestinal blockage treated with “gut rest” ie a clear liquid only diet. For three. Effing. Days. McRib :-) Yum mm.

    Great recap, J-Mo!

    Even Helen Keller could’ve told that there was a pineapple in that foil package Hater-Tots picked, not a “pot of herbs”! Asshole!

    I can’t believe Bart put the foil on his head to make his bowl – kinda’ made me wonder if the judges would refuse to taste his food, but maybe they didn’t see that.

    Moley and his raw-ass Lamb! What else can I say? Except that maybe he should have named his girls Anise and Artemisia. Or Bay Leaf and Basil?

    Gail called it at the berry farm – Blowsie was trippin’ for sure. She must have tasted the crack instead of the crab when she was preparing things for her dish (I can’t really say “making” her dish, ‘cuz she didn’t do much of that). Blowsie should have gone home. I am SO tired of her.

    I say Top Model for the win!!!!

    Lots O’ Love

    Bay Leaf and Basil

    I don’t think Blowsie passed the “keep your hands to yourself” part of Kindergarten and that face noogie she pulled on poor Lizzie Borden, geeze. She can’t seem to keep her hands off the poor woman. She is beyond annoying.

    Hater-Tots is a tattle-tale. He didn’t add the part about the tuna not being “sustainable” until way late in the game. He was like chicken-licken, “IT’S FROZEN TUNA!” Yeah, we heard you the first time, but I thought he was gonna win by his own stunning culinary skills not some douchey move like that. “Daddy Tom, he’s using frozen tuna!”

    Had to be one of the funniest episodes ever, but your recap took it over the top. Fabulous job!
