"Were you 80 percent jazzed by it?"

We generally take notes on each episode as we watch to remind us of the anecdotes we want to write about on PPYKAG. Tonight, one of these notes read simply: "PADMA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" More on that later ...

Sadly, this wasn't even the worst outfit of the episode.

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!

  1. *winces at the harsh "illegitimate" comment* but since you derailed my thoughts into going there, any bets on who the daddy is? Her keeping it a secret makes no sense unless he's married, famous, or most likely married+famous. A celebrity chef perhaps?

  2. As soon as Mike V. said, "At this point it's up to the egg", I actually paused the TV to let it sink in.

    And, as soon as Gail's boobs popped up, my husband paused the TV to let them sink in.

  3. Little known fact; the egg is also Padma's stylist thus responsible for the ninja gear and bangs. Tim Gunn needs to come arrest the egg.

  4. Its hard to concentrate on Gails opinion, when I keep wondering why she wants her "boobs" on prominent display.

  5. Haha, no lie, when I watched last week, I couldn't wait to get on here and see what you wrote about Padma's outfit. And, then I just remembered to check your blog today. Just want to say I love your humor almost as much as I love Kevin Gillespie, and that's A LOT. Had the pleasure of eating at Woodfire, and it was AMAZING.
