We love this show. I think the judges are a good mix. Joe is a hard ass, Graham is a softie, and Gordon is, oddly, the nice mix of the two.
I love when Joe recounts his fat kid childhood. Last season he said something about how he used to sneak cake by eating out the inside and leaving a frosting shell. Graham was in the background giggling like a fool, "That's a fat kid trick." "I was a fat kid. Worked every time." lol.
OK now I'm watching Hotel Hell. My crush for Gordon Ramsay is in full swing! This happens every summer when his shows are on. Good grief is he sexy! What is it? Part asshole, part softy with an English accent. Yes, I'll have that. LOL
H and I watch all the Gordon Ramsay shows. We're lame and always talking about what the judges would think of certain things. Tonight after dinner, H told me that "if Joe were to try a bite of the dinner you made, he would walk up, silently take a bite while staring you down, then walk away without anything nasty to say." Major compliment right there, lol.
A week or 2 ago when Gordon told one of the contestants that his cake looked like a hairy back....I seriously lost it, started in with the snorting laugh, etc. We love Gordon.

H had a table next to him at brunch a few months ago in Vegas. Said that he was just a regular guy, laughing it up with friends and that he seemed like a really cool person. H kept texting me (he was by himself on business) and was trying hard not to wig out. I was beyond jealous! LOL
I like Joe a lot, but he reminds me of hard ass chef instructors I had in culinary school. When they complimented you or your food it was truly exhilarating because they really made you work for it. I still remember when one instructor told me for my plated cold dessert final, "I normally hate panna cotta, and I want to eat this forever." I was SO pleased. Joe is like that to me.
We watch faithfully every week. I absolutely love Graham. He is my fav. Watching him sample food is the best part. I really do wish that Courtney would just go home. Can't stand her at all. And when Elise broke down last night, I actually felt sorry for her, but it really was time for her to go. And I could listen to Gordon say Cutter's name like, all day. lol
I'm starting to feel bad for Graham. He can't sample the dishes like he used to since he had lap band surgery. What fun is it to see all that good food and only be able to take a teeny tiny bite?
Courtney is awful. I'm assuming the producers 'coach' her to act that way.
Love, love, love this show! Love all the judges. Can't stand Courtney. She reminds me of that bitch Natasha from last season. Couldn't stand her either. Such a smug little bitch.
