   I only stay in it for you, J-Mo.

   I think they just started with too many contestants in the first place, and then they completely lost me when they dropped Kristen. I won’t even care to watch if she comes back, because none of the remaining chefs is a match for her.

   I think they should have a process by which you can vote to replace one chef with another who kind of resembles them — like you can replace one obnoxious European for another, or one dyke or Asian or douchebag for another more interesting one. I’m more interested in pretty much everyone who’s been eliminated than I am in anyone who’s left.

   The picture of them watching the bread rise with the caption..”I smell another Emmy” is hilarious!!

   Newsies FTW!

   Even I know that fish is not one that people usually consume…

   How come TC never has a “make a dish out of stuff we feed our dogs” challenge.?

   A reference to The Journey of Natty Gann? This is officially my favorite recap, ever.

   You’d think a Hawaiian stoner with two daughters would watch Spongebob, but apparently not.
   It’s called the Chum Bucket, and nobody eats there for a reason.

   They better don’t let Stachebear make it to the final.
   He’s just gonna make bacon three ways (fried, twice-fried, and chicken fried) and call it a night.

   “”looks like Tracy’s non-sexist signage hasn’t quite arrived yet”" Actually, another kind of crab came to mind when I saw this picture! Back to the Mini-Cap!

   Guess I should’ve read further before commenting! Oh well, someone else had to say it!

    I am surprised not to see a comment on Daddy Tom saying that the bears are his “fan base” I thought for sure that was a reference to these recaps!

    I laughed when Brooke went on about how being in the final four is such an honor, because there’s so much talent here. When StacheBear can reach the top three of a season, you know that we’ve scraped the barrel.

    This season will go down for me as the worst TC season. It’s somehow even worse than Season 7 (that sucks) which is an impressive feat.

    I like Kristen and all, but she shouldn’t be the best chef in the competition. In better seasons, she would probably just make it to the top 4. Here, her and McBitchy are the cream of the crop, which is depressing as all hell.

    Add in the bullshit “returns”, annoying drama, and two of the top 4 who make the same exact dishes every single time (seriously, douchebag, bacon doesn’t work on EVERYTHING. I pray the next challenge is a kosher challenge, just to see his friggin’ head explode), and we’re stuck with a REALLY crappy season.

    One thing, though, J-Mo… I’ve got to say that the worse the season is (I’m rereading your Season 7 recaps), the funnier you are. I guess it just falls into the “more stuff to make fun of” category, but I think this crappy season is the funniest that you’ve been since crappy season 7 (though obviously all of your recaps are awesome)

    Maybe this is just me being completely disinterested in this season, but hasn’t Lizzie said every week, “I’m not that familiar with ______.” This week it was sourdough, two weeks ago it was fried chicken, and I think I remember her saying it a few other times, too. Isn’t she from South Africa? Do they not eat regular food there? What are you familiar with? I think she’s just giving herself an out if and when she has to pack her knives and go. I say “if and when” because the next challenge is probably pouring cereal and she won’t be familiar with pouring milk or something so she’s not making the final two.

    Can I just say that the skeleton picture and caption still make me laugh?
    Because they do.
    Extremely hard.
