"I think most people prefer their salads without belly button lint." Thanks, Cherie! Now I have a piece of tortilla chip stuck in my nasal cavity! Loved the recap, and I don't think that Flipit hates you, I think Fox Network just refuses to populate this show with talented chefs.

love, J-Mo :)

I'm glad you mentioned that HK was off last week. Because I don't watch the show through normal means, I am sometimes not sure if the show was off that week or if it just isn't available where I am looking. *cough*

Suzanne is seriously annoying! Every time she comes on the screen, I get an eye twitch. Send that biatch home!

Thanks for a great recap, Cherie!

ps. French food is delicous!

"All of you, touch my meat! TOUCH IT" Gawd Cherie, I love you. This was a great recap.

It warmed my evil little heart to see Suz eff up so badly. I don't like the Mean Girls act the others put on, but I can't say that Suz doesn't deserve to be ostracized. She created the atmosphere by not being a team player, now no amount of suck up on her part will make them like her.

As for Corpseface, it was way past time for him to go. I know she won't win, but I hope Whoppi hangs around for comic relief - she has really grown on me. I hope the promos showing One Armed Wonder's accident were exagerated - I'd hate to see him go out for medical reasons. Looking forward to the 2 hour show!

Big hugs Cherie for a great job! xoox

They made a mistake in this show. Pantomime is not the same as mime. Look it up on wikipedia!

Mime is silent, whereas Pantomime or 'Panto' is full of singing, jokes and interactive humour. It's a British theatre style based on a children's story, and is traditionally staged around Christmastime.

It's easy to get the two confused.

Yet it was someone trained to do it.

Wikipedia is not always correct.

The miriam webster dictionary gives this defination.

1 : pantomimist
2 a : an ancient Roman dramatic performance featuring a solo dancer and a narrative chorus b : any of various dramatic or dancing performances in which a story is told by expressive bodily or facial movements of the performers c : a British theatrical entertainment of the Christmas season based on a nursery tale and featuring topical songs, tableaux, and dances
3 a : conveyance of a story by bodily or facial movements especially in drama or dance b : the art or genre of conveying a story by bodily movements only

Wikipedia seems to think that only 2c is the only pantomime.

2b 3a 3b are ways that mimes are involved in pantomime

In fact one of the definations of mime is pantomime and refers to the third defination given above for pantomime.

So yeah the mime teacher was right they were doing pantomime.

The British have their own defination of pantomime that dates from the 18th century.

Here is the Columbia Encyclopedia's answer as to what pantomime is.

pantomime or mime (păn'təmīm) [Gr.,=all in mimic], silent form of the drama in which the story is developed by movement, gesture, facial expression, and stage properties. It is known to have existed among the Chinese, Persians, Hebrews, and Egyptians and has been observed in many other cultures. Pantomime was popular in ancient Rome, where it was often explained by songs or simple action. The traditional characters of pantomime take their origin in the Italian commedia dell'arte of the 16th cent. English pantomime, originated by John Rich, was more pageant than pantomime, and in 1818, when J. R. Planche began his extravaganzas with “speaking openings,” pantomime in England became a dramatic spectacle with songs and speeches. Joseph Grimaldi and Jean Gaspard Deburau were famous pantomime stars of the 19th cent. In silent pictures, Charlie Chaplin made his name as a great pantomime actor. Marcel Marceau has been the leading artist in France.

Marcel Marceau was a mime.

That's all very edumacational. However Cherie did not hear a single word of praise for her hard work. So guess what I'm pantomiming to both of you right now. ;)

Cherie dear, we're READING your hard work!!! .. it may not always be directly verbalized, but we're HERE, so be happy!
:-)

LOL I was trying do what Ramsay would do. Besides, didn't you know it's impossible for recappers to be happy? We're riddled with anxiety and phobias..at least until the meds kick in.

I love you all and THANK YOU for reading.

Smoochies!

yeschef,

Shit like the subtle differences between mime and pantomime often keep me up at night. Sometimes I can Alex Trebeck and we talk about them. Then he invites me over and we do a few lines of coke off some stripper's tits.

Hey, you should give the mime vs. pantomime explanation if you're ever on Jeapordy! Alex: "Let's meet tonight's contestants. Tim here collects samples of his own bodily secretions, INCLUDING sputum samples from when he had swine flu. Brave man, Tim! Next up, Judy maintains a collection of Cheez Doodles resembling the Catholic saints. I bet that St. Thomas was QUITE A FIND, eh Judy? Finally, meet yeschef, who enjoys explaining the difference between pantomime and mime on TV recap comment boards. Yeschef, could you do "Man pulling a rope" for me? LOVE that one!"

Am I the only person who cannot stand Tenille's voice? Why does she ALWAYS SCREAM?

Tenille might possibly have a hearing impairment, however slight. She seems to miss stuff unless it's loud.

Dearest Cherie,
Thank you for adding two new phrases to my world.
"Vein explosion" and "I'd rather kiss a skunk's ass."
My boss also thanks you for livening up our discussions regarding my work duties.
You're the best!
