Anyway, the point is, if she gets an apron, she’s going to be entered into Gordie’s chop-a-thon. Even if she doesn’t lacerate herself, there’s no way a blind person will be able to chop consistently, with enough speed, to get through.
She’s cooking some braised catfish with pickled veggies. Gordie gives her five minutes, and they start the clock that she can’t see. She struggles with finding the soap just trying to wash her hands.
Ok, funny aside, I will say this is pretty impressive. It really is.
But back to funny. Joe asks if she ever thought that her being blind might be an advantage. She says it will because she won’t be able to see what other people are doing.
Also, she can’t see TG’s new haircut. Jeebus…
Again, though, how are you going to get past the “chop 9 million yams” challenge that is sure to be between this and that.
So…all three judges taste. When Bastage steps up, she says she hears he gives mean looks, so for the first time in her life she’s glad she’s blind, so she can’t see them…
Bitch, you may be blind, but you will HEAR my mean looks, so help me God.
Long story short (since thus far, I’ve made a short story long as hell)…Bastage tears up a little bit, and they all give her a yes vote. Resounding yes votes. Yay. I’m sure it was great, but we all know there’s not a chance in a million years that she gets through.
Right. So that wraps up the first round. See you guys back here soon for Auditions #2!
If you like it, spread it!:

HAH! Great work. So good to read you again. Missed you buddy.
I love blind girl. (AND – Whitney, can we put Whitney on another show? OH! Let HER come on Hell’s Kitchen. Bet she could cook scallops and risotto correctly…)
I kinda hope she does make it to the next round, but I am wondering what they’ll have to do to accommodate her, but that isn’t unfair to the other chefs. (Sort of reminds me of the deaf son on Amazing Race – there were certain tasks he couldn’t preform, but at least he had his teammate/Mom there to do the task.) She said she was blinded later in life, I wonder if she can read braille. At least braille signs in the pantry and at her personal station would be accommodating AND fair. Besides, she has her stick to whack people with to get them out of the way (wait – is that wrong of me to say?).
I DVRed this episode and watched it back to back with the second one, so until I read the recap – I couldn’t remember where one episode ended and the second one started! Can’t wait to read the next one. Great recap! I love the pictures you picked!
I just finished the first page and am finding reading difficult to read because of the laugh-tears.
Yay!!! Glad you are back when I’m no longer lurking.
Hubbycat forbids me (good luck with that) to watch more than three GR shows in a week.
Max 2.0 is a mega-douche. Glad someone else agrees with me.
Did you have to describe a contestant as a “person of interest?” Really?
Otherwise, great recap…and to help you with the google: WHITNEY MILLER.
Dear Dangerously,
Your recap is HILARIOUS. Seriously!. My parent’s didn’t name me Monti PS. My first radio boss in Atlanta picked Monti ’cause no one can pronounce my real name (Mairym) and it stuck. Joan Cusack picked out my kid’s name when I was still all sorts of knocked up.
Looking forward to more recaps. Out of all the one’s I’ve read I’ve liked your the best. Also who the hell is Rick Vaughn?
I haven’t read the recap yet but just want to ask you, Dangerously, “WHAT’S IN THE BOX??!!!!”
Good to see you back.
Squeeeeee!! Page 2! You never let me down, Dangerously!
Okay, now I have to share a story of awfulness about my brother. (Dangerously made me do it.) When we were kids, my dad was 6’2″, like 270 lbs. Big guy. We were on vacation one time, hanging by the hotel pool, when my dad decided to go for a dive. He stripped off his shirt, exposing his massive belly, and prepped for his dive. All was quiet until my 10-yr old brother bellowed “Shamuuuuuuuuu!” just as my dad hit the water.
Twenty years later, it still gives me the chuckles.
Hell yeah! Great recap. I adore all of the judges for varying reasons and am glad they’re back!
Oh, and I was rooting for Max 1.0…sometimes the villain just kicks the most ass.
Oh Sarcassi, now we know about how old you are! I am just soooo immature.
Monti! Another celeb in our midst! Yay!
Wait!! I said my brother was ten! I was much, much younger. As a matter of fact, maybe I wasn’t even born. I was a zygote!! Yeah, that’s it. This story was told to me by my relatives one Thanksgiving. The detail was so vivid, it was almost like I was there. Yep. That’s the story and I’m sticking to it.
In my lifetime, only one Bush was president.
In my fantasy lifetime only one Bush was president.
Guys, in ALL our fantasy lifetimes only one Bush was president. Or none.
And Sarcassy, I’ll bet you were an adorable little zygote, too.
That’s what I meant, snowshoecat.
Billy, right? We’re on the same page here?
Neil, of course. He may have sunk an S&L but at least he’s affable. (I actually randomly met him at a cable show one year.) Because he may have been dumb as a brick but he was smart enough to know that stupid and mean are just a bad combination.
Wow, I’m so glad to see all of you back, and a few new faces too.
Monti, if that’s really you, that’s quite flattering, but I hope you’re not expecting I go easy on you now…I’m equal opportunity =)
Oh, also…Rick Vaughn…
Rick Vaughn was an early Charlie Sheen character (and in my opinion, still his greatest role) in what is (again, in my opinion) one of the best sports movies ever made: Major League. If you’ve never seen it, I recommend you watch it. For science.
Did anyone else besides me flash back to “Danger Robinson Family Danger” LOL
Uhmmm…Monti?? anyone ever watched the last season of Project Runway? Kenley Collins…???
I agree with montibulltwang. Monti looks just like Kenly Collins. Even their voices are similar. WEIRD
I know! I saw the same resemblance. If not the same person then a sib? I hear about families getting into the reality show venue all the time. Too similar not to be her.
