Vocabulary Lesson
- Absoperfect: Gail Simmons uses this adjective to describe Bryan's pumpkin ravioli. She later says she "fell in love with" said ravioli. Maybe we should give you and the pasta some time alone, Gail?
- Unctuous: Jen told Padma that her duck was "unctuous," and thus good for the baby. Dictionary.com tells us that "unctuous" means "of the nature of or characteristic of an unguent or ointment; oily; greasy." You know what actually WOULD be good for the baby? Not being illegitimate. But as that ship has sailed, this child apparently has to settle for foodstuffs with the consistency of Neosporin.
Fashion Faux Pas
- Jen's hair apparently can only exist in one of two states of being: Side Ponytail or Out of Control Lion's Mane.
- Mike's necklines are slowly creeping lower and lower. We wish this season was longer, because eventually he and Gail would be wearing the same outfit.
- God only knows what was going on with Padma's whole ... thing. From the knees up she was a sexy ninja smuggling a basketball; from the knees down she was Big Bird. Perhaps it was an attempt to distract from those bangs.
Miscellany
- Instead of offering a prize for winning the Elimination Challenge, the judges should have threatened a punishment for the loser: wearing Padma's outfit home.
- When discussing the potential success of his dish, Mike noted that "it's up the egg at this point." Does the egg ... tell you to do things, Mike?
- Jen mentions her car is so old it doesn't even have a CD player. And she rides a bicycle with one giant front wheel and one little tiny back wheel.
Only one week left, which means Thursday will mark the very last Power Rankings of the season. So listen to what your eggs are telling you, kids, and come back tomorrow!
