Hello, Gasmii. Welcome to the VERY LATE edition of The Taste recap. I decided that since Eyediosmio did such a stellar job with the rest of the season, you guys deserved some disappointment and an amazingly delayed recap. You know, to make sure you know your place. (Well, that and it takes a few extra [...]

Hola, Gasmii! This is Jimbob Jones stepping in for Eyediosmio for the finale of The Taste. About the only thing ethnic about me is that first sentence, but don’t worry, I can fake it — I took 2 Spanish classes in high school, and can remember at LEAST half a dozen words, all of which [...]

Hola Gasmii and welcome to this week’s recap of The Taste wherein they attempt to freak out the contestants and the home audience with the concept of Nose to Tail eating.  Those of us who grew up around different cultures just call it “dinner.”  But whatever. White people, commence freaking out. This little guy is [...]

  Hola Gasmii and welcome to my favorite episode of The Taste so far.  Why is it my favorite? Because dear Gasmii, it is all about the vino, and I am a HUGE fan of vino.  Remember last week’s recap I wondered if people were gonna start getting catty with each other?  Well – BINGO!   Team Malarkey [...]

Hola Gasmii and welcome to the recap of the first elimination episode of The Taste! I am kind of torn about my opinion of the show, but all in all I am really enjoying it.  In that, it seemed to me to go by really quickly and it was pretty fast paced and I enjoyed [...]

Hola Gasmii!  And welcome to Episode 3 of the Taste.  Finally, we are getting to the real competition where the concept of this cooking competition finally kicks in. I think someone said this thing is about the taste, but I’m not sure yet what the concept is . . . Perhaps they could be clearer.  [...]

Good morning Gasmii! Are you all enjoying this show as much as I am?  No?  Eh, it’s hard to really get involved when YOU KNOW they are just gonna be giving people the boot right and left.   And they’re NICE about it.  To their faces at least. The most amusing part of the whole endeavor [...]
