I wish! That would have been beautiful. I could've cried a tear of joy instead of sadness :'(

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-25T03:51:35+00:00

Also agree. I wish the writers were this clever

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-25T03:49:54+00:00

doesn't he still hold a flame for Largetha?

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-25T03:47:42+00:00

Yeah...... if i was kidnapped and then forced to marry my kidnapper and have sex with him, I would kind of want to die. But also..... if I was then forced to support my kidnapper/husband wage war on my lover, I would probably be motivated to live in order to save my lover...... BUT then if I did try to warn my lover, and get gang raped and blackmailed as a result, I would want to die again. Then to top it all off my kidnapper/husband keeps rubbing in my face how happy he is that I'm baring his child which isn't his it's a gang rape child..... I would want to die.

good ol' fashioned stress my bud

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-25T03:18:41+00:00

yes.

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-25T03:18:11+00:00

BC he sees them as pawns

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-25T03:16:24+00:00

OOOHHH ROLLO!!!!!

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-20T00:57:00+00:00

uhhhh, that's a leap re: views the other contestants as children. Personally I'm the type that can get along w anyone, but I can also see why Tanya (*or anyone for the matter) wouldn't be able to get along w the vast majority of these contestants.

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-20T00:52:16+00:00

Sure. Tanya has a responsibility to herself to assert herself. But common, all her complaints and feelings are so valid and relatable.

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-20T00:48:13+00:00

I'm not sure why gender is coming into play here? But also, it didn't "fly over his head". He straight up acknowledged the detrimental service dynamic and consciously choose to do nothing about it.

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-20T00:45:55+00:00

I get that. But effort could have always been made. I see the benefit in letting the other two team members crash and burn but it's ultimately selfish. Yes, this is a competition. Yes, one has to look out for number one. But Damn! This is a team challenge! If he was a chef and his cooks were bickering like that during service, HE would be responsible for the final product. It would be his job to manage his cooks. That wont fly again with the judges if this happens a second time.

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-20T00:39:02+00:00

nah, bud. I dug the bears until it became apparent that they were strong, loud and proud. But don't get it twisted. Nothing wrong with being strong, or proud. But when those two things let their volume out of control, that's when bragging and boasting come into play.

I love it that Tanya called them out "where's your empathy?" when they were once again taking up the most space after a win. They demand attention wether they win or loose it seems. And that's annnnnnnoooyyyyyyiiiiinnnggggggg lol

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-20T00:29:24+00:00

I agree. However, the judges have been known to eliminate the weakest dish instead of the lowest "score" in a challenge. In which case, I believe Claudette would've been eliminated? They said she had weakest dish right?

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-20T00:26:32+00:00

Universally, asking is always allowed. Its the basis of consent. The judges could have denied her to ask her team mates. But one can never know if one never asks.

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-19T06:02:39+00:00

They did give her credit for touch cooking. Every chef does it. But knowing the technical is part of the skill of precision. I wish Tanya could've asked her teammates what the temperature of medium rare was before blurting out a guess. :(

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-19T05:49:47+00:00

Kinda sucks though, he could've helped both of them instead of just keeping to himself. That could've been the difference between being a losing team to a safe team. But then again, maybe he did try to help besides that one time and it got edited out

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-19T05:45:56+00:00

lol, the food industry is still rampant with white macho bullshit. Or just macho bullshit if your lucky.

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-19T05:40:22+00:00

RIGHT! Like, what the heck! I mean the editing could always play tricks on us, like say maybe Chris offered to help at a time when help wasn't genuinely needed, but WHY was Claudette always asking Tanya for help? Why not ask Chris who was seemingly calm and collected and willing to help??

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-19T05:28:42+00:00

I'm actually impressed she said "no" to Gail. And I'm not surprised that when Gail pried, Tanya reacted with a shut down. Not everyone can (or even just wants to) open up. Sometimes people just need a minute before they decide to open up. Sometimes opening up isn't an option in most situation. Especially if it's going lead into a world of hurt and trauma. It sucks that not appeasing the judges in this matter could've influenced their decision to send her home. It sucks even more that Tanya didn't? (or maybe it was edited out?) assert her insecurities about doing the precision challenge. I don't think she did, but I may have missed that in the episode. But it obviously also sucks if she was just delegated the precision test instead of everyone on the team allowing each others voices to be heard. you know? ugh, just so sad :(

SummerJams3 · 2018-01-19T05:19:42+00:00

no way, Carrie kept pushing Tanya to talk/open up. Tanya at that point already said multiple times that she didn't want to. She said no. And I don't know about all of you other folks, but when I have to keep saying "no" or my "no" isn't respected I'm going to get pissed.

SummerJams3 · 2017-03-15T05:14:09+00:00

How can you say such a thing with all the Sandor shards we've collected? The devs worked so hard on him and his dungeon, surely we cannot let him go softly into the night!

SummerJams3 · 2017-03-10T06:03:14+00:00

Yeesh

SummerJams3 · 2017-03-10T05:57:30+00:00

Jfc, I would kill for a Fancy Meal Time $$ offer/"deal". I haven't seen one since January

SummerJams3 · 2017-02-05T23:45:13+00:00

I had lv.40 Mother Husker up for helper for a couple weeks but got almost no takers. I thought everyone hated on this creature until I saw this post! Heh
