So this dancing show, this is something that really happens? I kind of thought it was more of an inside joke. “Oh, I just stayed home and watched Dancing With The Stars if-you-know-what-I-mean.” Well, color me surprised and mildly intrigued. Continue reading

Flashback to Jesse and Walt’s first cook. Wow, they really were hostile towards each other during MethLab: The Early Years. And Walt had such lustrous hair! Walt takes a break from work to practice his lie to Skyler before wandering off to a nearby rock to get cellphone reception. He tells his wife that he will be home a little late. Now, the RV is gone, Jesse is gone, Walt is gone, and the lies are gone.

Heidi gives the designers the morning off and sends them to a Southern-style brunch. Croissants, coffee, French toast…so what’s the catch? It’s a challenge to design for the modern Southern woman. Tim says that the modern Southern woman dresses vibrantly and expressively, with feminine details, and is always fashionably put together. You know. For your average tea party. Continue reading

The remaining chefs are met by Daniel Handler, an accordion player who turns out to be the writer of theLemony Snicket books. He introduces the Quickfire Challenge. The winner of the Sous Chef competition and the corresponding Real Chef will decide what the challenge is (and gets the coveted immunity for the Real Chef), and the winning Sous Chef is Paul, Douglas’s replacement Sous Chef. They decide on a dish featuring ketchup because Sang doesn’t permit ketchup in his restaurant. Oh, also? Sang and Jennifer’s Sous Chefs were on the bottom of the competition, so they’ll have an obstacle later in the competition. Continue reading

It’s amateur hour in the meth lab, with the bosses going masks-free, not-Matt Damon only achieving 76% purity, and a clear lack of a blue tint in the product. Lydia is not pleased. The meth must be blue. Not-Matt Damon’s phone rings (nice “She Blinded Me With Science” ringtone, nerd). It’s Walt calling about the job he might have for his uncle. There’s just one target. Jesse Pinkman. Continue reading

Tim Gunn wakes the contestants up with a whistle and a referee’s outfit. Turns out he moonlights at Footlocker. Or, it’s a sportswear challenge. They meet Heidi and Tim at an obstacle course on the Upper East Side where they have to dodge Ladies Who Lunch. The winner gets an extra hour for the one-day challenge and will choose their fabric first. The winning look will be manufactured and sold as part of Heidi’s performance wear collection.

I was reading up on the latest cast of Dancing With The Stars because I have no idea who most of these “stars” are (and I will be recapping the *gulp* seventeenth season of this dreck show), and I came across a sentence that made me simultaneously shudder and lose faith in all of humanity: Continue reading

Last week, Jennifer and Sue were both sort of eliminated and sent to battle it out Sous Chef-style. Jennifer prevailed and returns to continue the competition with the Real Chefs. Their Quickfire Challenge is guest-judged by Ali Larter, actress and book writer. With only thirty minutes on the clock, it’s a Top Chef Masters’ take on nachos, which is confusing and—let’s be honest—pointless. As an added nacho bonus, immunity is up for grabs. Continue reading
