She doesn't have a chance in hell, but she's my underdog pick. <BR/><BR/>Arian did get hosed. And since when do they really base JUST on that challenge and not past performance? I've heard them decide to keep people cuz they just had a bad night or whatever.<BR/><BR/>I'm gonna say Stefan, Jeff and Crazy Carla in the finals.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786017101051535056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283831715209726281.post-38901923188316467372009-01-15T18:49:00.000-05:002009-01-15T18:49:00.000-05:00By the way: Still rooting for Stefan.

But to basically exclude Ariane from the decision-making and treat her like a fifth wheel, hand off to her the most challenging task so you can spend time making googly-eyes at each other, then throw her under the bus so you can hang around and make more googly-eyes at each other ... there's a term for that kind of move involving a vulgarity I won't use here.<BR/><BR/>I don't mean to make excuses for Ariane though. She obviously needs to work on her butchering skills. I really felt sorry for that lamb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283831715209726281.post-31545993098860884442009-01-15T10:17:00.000-05:002009-01-15T10:17:00.000-05:00the thing with hosea and leah is that i like them ...the thing with hosea and leah is that i like them each individually, but i could care less about them collectively. so i just root for them to focus.jim websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720372870542210096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283831715209726281.post-44849868178439907312009-01-15T03:09:00.000-05:002009-01-15T03:09:00.000-05:00Gee Jim, how'd ya know?

With all that beautiful meat and produce, that's the best they could come up with? Corn and bacon salad? Roasted potatoes? Even the stuff they liked seemed fairly mundane.<BR/><BR/>I also feel bad for Ariane. I can't help feeling she got hosed by her lovey-dovey teammates. It wouldn't surprise me if the unaired footage included Leah and Hosea groping in a corner somewhere while Ariane slaved over that lamb. Screw 'em -- I'm actively rooting for one to go home next week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
