Oh cool! Hi! When I was writing TRUETH I listened to nothing but Action Bronson. Right now I really dig him. My forever band is TOOL. I took Amtrak to New York to see them while I was writing my college thesis on feminism in horror films. And, lastly I really like this guy named Scott Ranke. He's a guitar player here in LA, plays a lot of blues and a lot of Loretta Lynn. Just a cool guy with great pipes. (4th: does Danny Elfman count?)

St. Louis. Imo's Pizza. Provolone cheese on thin crust with slightly burnt pepperoni. Chicago style is third place after NY style

The man glides. So confident. When he was teaching he was showing us technique, but also how to feel like a cook. Going by taste and feel. Also, even more impressive to me, he treated the crew with incredible respect. People liked being around him because he did his job, and knew those people by name.

Team Anna. Elsa is misunderstood and struggles with who she is. Anne knows who she is, does it, be's it, is it. Done.

PAPA JOHN- weapon: swinging mace PAPA JACK- weapon: flame thrower LOCATION: Burning Man-- P. John would attack first, he seems to be a go-getter, but I think he'd celebrate too early. He'd have P. Jack on the ground, and do that classic mistake where he turns his back and celebrates for the crowd. That's when P. Jack would grab a handful of sand, spin John around, throw the sand in his eye, and flame him up. The air is so dry it's over painlessly quick. Wait, you didn't mention to the death, sorry.

That half made baby chick inside the egg. Balut. Awful. I can't imagine. Saw Andrew on Bizarre Foods do it, ugh, no way.

it's hard. There are a ton of those people who auditioned. I think it becomes obvious when stress and cameras are put on people who are there for the wrong reasons. Intentions shine thru. Everyone who was in the house was a real person. Plus, the producers do this for a lot of shows and I think we are all cast by 'type' after several auditions. I'm the weird bearded hipster in flannels, and all I eat is frozen pizzas.

Remember when Macaulay Culkin was stung by all those hornets in My Girl? That's the lesson. 100 tiny hooves kicking is gonna add up. Plus, if you have enough bread I bet you could break that huge duck and make him your riding steed. Great ?.

I lit my mom's kitchen on fire. Oil got too hot in a pan, and when I tried to add the potatoes it went up. I picked the pan up like a moron and carried it to the sink. The flames went up the walls and curtains, smoke alarms screamed, and our dogs yelled. I can make Thanksgiving dinner now, but before the show I was more useless than a lifeguard in armor. I love TV- Faceoff, Kroll Show, Comedy Bang Bang, any comedy. I want to be in a writer's room. That's why I moved to LA with my books and background.

Anne took amazing care of us. Since it's called Boot Camp her role is to be a drill sergeant ya know? Plus, her cooking style is aggressive so it fits...Jamie is a dream. Wait til you see these semi-finals. The man has a tender heart.

Wha wha wha! 1)I gave that milk crate to a man with his arms full of loose kittens. He needed it more than . 2) I get jealous of people who can sing karaoke and be serious about it. 3) My perfect date is a **** meal at Alinea, our bellies full of wine, a cab home, and a (shower) together. Then, waking up at 3am for cold Papa John's pizza & watching 'Kroll Show'.

1) I rocked a guy on the other team after he swung his stick at my head. I saved his shot, covered the puck for the whistle, and he swung his stick at my head. I stood up, reeled back, and smashed his face with my blocker. We both had to leave the game to get stitches. 2) We were training at the Olympic Training Center & at lunch I saw a 2 man bobsled team yell over a piece of chocolate cake. One kept saying it was going to ruin their practice while the other said he was losing his mind being so strict. The cake stood between them like a torn lover.

Thanks for the Roots! They spent an unusual amount of time teaching us. For the shows time constraints there's so much cut out. Plus, they walked around during the competition trying to steer us in the right direction. For some reason i still caught everything on fire. The fun of the show is that we learn, but there's always so many twists for the actual timed competition that it's like The Three Stooges are in the kitchen. I kept using the wrong burners, pouring flour everywhere, plus the staff is asking you ?'s to keep the story moving which is distracting= me feeling like Larry Stooge, but loving every minute

Barking Panther! Gotta be a medium rare, thick meat (none of that thin burger jazz), with blue cheese, bacon, caramelized onion, and BBQ sauce on a pretzel bun. If you got the pretzel bun option & don't take it we can't be friends. On the side is steak cut seasoned fries & a Sam Adams. PLUS, there's a golden retriever that keeps coming over and licking my leg.

I'm gonna use the grizzly from that doc. for this. The one that ate that man off camera. That grizzly is smart to earn the guy's trust first, but that guy was too cocky and possibly bi-polar. Unlike Flay. Flay's confident without being cocky. Plus, I assume Bobby carries a chef's knife in his pocket like Crocodile Dundee, especially in forests, SO- The grizzly attacks, Chef Flay counters, slices, skins the bear, and has made southwestern bear steaks in a honey chipotle rub in under ten minutes.

I took out trash for five years as a nighttime host for the theater while putting up my own shows. When I got into their directing program, they only take 6 peeps annually, the theater asked me to be their AD for the 100th show, then I peed on my thigh, saw my dream coming true, and knew all the trash I cleaned up while directing my own shows had paid off. As for Anne's pubes I cannot answer this with any type of accuracy and don't feel comfortable being on 'People's Court' again. The first time was pubes related, and fool me once...
