I don't watch Top Chef, but read Vince's write-ups because I'm a piggy. There's always a single joke that rises above the rest.

That's how he got me too. Now I'm a fan of the show, some how.

Also, LCK is a hilarious mess this season. We need to get into it. Total disaster

Dude. What the fuck. I’m so annoyed we lost both Anya and the adorable Chinese girl.

At least we got to see Tom mutter "this is terrible" while trying to spoon up orange juice with a fork.

It’s crazy. Some of the worst cooking I’ve seen then the android who seemed promising just quits. Somehow Bailey is going to make it back on the show, I can feel it in my bones. Must be the hats.

I was enjoying Canadian Carlton too (Ying needs her own show). The look of incomprehension on his face when they started throwing around hockey terms was priceless.

Yeah was definitely a bit of a WTF when Sam opted out.

Parker Parsley?

"Ring-a-ring-a-rosie, she sounds like Parker Posey" is probably too wordy. And also fucking terrible.

Parker "House Roll" Posey? I got nothing, it's Friday afternoon.

Beef patties are everywhere in Toronto. It makes sense to me that they'd give it a spotlight.

Anya rolled into LCK, stepped on a rake, then backpedaled into a banana peel and slid face first into a cream pie.

I think in between the banana peel and cream pie, she got whacked by a cabbage leaf 😏

Maybe that picture is just an odd angle but does it seem like Big Cabbage will unhinge her jaw and consume the entire earth like in a Terry Gilliam cartoon to anyone else?

I went to my first Sceptres game a while ago. It was Spooner's first game back after some time off. Lots of people dressed up as utensils to welcome her back.

I refer to Kat as "Swing out Sister" but that's because I'm old. And she's catchy but not that great.

Love your write-ups, but kind of a bummer that the subject line spoils the episode for west coast viewers. Still, very enjoyable write-up and episode. I'm liking this season so far. Thanks Vince!

True I forgot that part shows up before you open it, I changed it. My bad.

It's all good. It didn't ruin the episode for me. Thanks Vince!
