    I thought their whole strategy was weird. I would have stayed maybe 5 days in a spot before moving on. Hell, I'd have planned to spend my last night at the extraction point, or damn close to it. 

    Maybe it was the water sources. They weren't real clear. But having 20 miles left the last two days was bad planning IMO.

    I agree, but I don't think there were dependable water sources between the big lake and the extraction point.  They were lucky to find one for that last night.  Had they known it was there, they might have gone sooner.  

    I don't understand why they don't all make big floppy hats like Kaiela's.

    This seems to be the only franchise that doesn’t employ alcohol to fuel drama conflict and fucking. I think rather than providing them a miraculous kill before extraction, maybe they should start adding hooch to the mix.

    Especially on these longer missions and with groups, finding a case of Tito’s could add to the fun if it doesn’t kill a few of them.

    I really expected there to me a caiman on the line on day 37.  I've always suspected some production shenanigans when it comes to that sort of thing, but I didn't see anything questionable at the end.  Perhaps with eight people left, they were content to let it play out, assuming at least one would make it to extraction.  

    I loved seeing Kaiela's summary where they reshowed pussy Cole predicting that her tap would soon follow his.

    It certainly wasn’t taken that way, but who among us on Surly isn’t guilty of being a know it all cocksucker and making snarky, cunty replies sometimes. I would post elsewhere if I was fragile, took myself too seriously, and lacking a sense of humor. I’m constantly guilty of being a long winded blowhard using way too many words to try express a thought. 

    Jeeze, shut up already.

  4. I do not think Vingo is sandbagging at all, and I will be surprised if he makes it to Nice.  His comments during team introductions and in interviews are very telling.  He's sincerely trying to temper expectations.

    Super annoying bachelorette parties and tourist trap bars owned by the country star du jour?

    I was thinking more along the lines of restaurants owned by 2-time ToC winner and certified badass Manheet Chauhan, but you can spend your time there however you wish.

    That was my favorite day ever in the history of cycling ... Fignon with his stupid hair flying in the wind, Lemond stealing his cornbread, Fignon collapsing in shock at the end.

    I remember watching it unfold.  I don't remember if it was live or tape delay, but it felt live to me.  That's the day I became a cycling fan and a cyclist.

    I just can't get too amped for this race. Mostly it's probably because of dashed expectations I think. We were supposed to have Jonas, Pog, Rog and Remco Duke it out, and now 3/4 of them are miles off form because of wrecks.

     

    I'll obviously still watch every minute, castles and all that, but it's bittersweet. Mostly I'll probably be cheering Matty J

    This is where I am.  I'm definitely not as amped as I normally would be.  

  8. The cast this season was full of James Beard nominees and chefs who have worked for some of the heaviest hitters in the industry, the same as always.  

    No one has claimed that this was the best season ever, but there was enough to like to keep me entertained.  I have considered it must watch television since Season 1, and that has not changed.  Expecting each season to equal or surpass the one prior is setting yourself up to be disappointed.

    I liked Savannah, a lot. But has anyone ever finished a more distant last in a finale? 

    Not that I recall.  She took "just happy to be here" to a new level.

    I wonder if he was told "Yeah, Uh, I'm gonna need you to GTFO out of our class. We have bigger, better players about to get in the boat. If you could move your office to the basement, that'd be great".

    Do we let him keep the stapler, or no?

    His shitty mousse should have sent him home the week before. 

    Multi-course meals, how do they work?  If that was his only dish of that challenge, then you may have a case, even though they loved everything else about the dish.

    I’m ok with the winner. I wouldn’t have picked that winner, but there’s an argument to be made.
     

    can’t wait to hear all of yalls bullshit for the next 7 months or whatever about how it all sucks and the show is done and how it should just end.

    Yet you will show up AGAIN for the next season to complain AGAIN about the same bullshit. 
     

    Seriously. It’s super fun. Can’t wait. 

    No complaining from me.  I agree with you that it compares well to most non-all-star seasons.  People clearly have short memories, and some just like to bitch.  Padma left some big shoes to fill, but I think Kristen crushed it.     

    It sounded like they may have preferred Dan's dishes from taste and eating experience perspectives, but as I've said previously, they reward chefs who take risks and demonstrate technical skill.  When things are equal, or at least close, they are going to favor the chef who shows them elevated food in ways that they haven't seen.  Degree of difficulty always counts.
