PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Episode 5: Hot Hot Hot Heat - Camping!" |
Spoilers in here so stay out till after you watch - if you don't want to know anything.....* * * * Tim Love is guest judge. So you know we're gonna go Texas/cowboy something or other.
Viewers were given a chance to vote on what special item the chefs would use in a quick fire (I missed this vote apparently  ). Choices were snake, cactus or kangaroo. Cactus won. Only one chef - Mike (not the brother Mike, the other Mike) knew anything about cactus. Apparently it's really slimey. Anyway 'not the brother' Mike won the quickfire $15,000. Then they went out into the dessert to cook for Tim and 24 of his cowboy/cowgirl friends. They could cook anything they wanted but would not know till they got there what kind of 'kitchen' would be available. They had to sleep in teepees - really small looking. Sat around a big fire pit. They would be cooking on big fire pits also. Outhouse; water hydrant for water (at least they didn't have to pump their own water ). Had tables in a picnic like pavilion for prep. The groceries they bought had been kept in picnic coolers (that made me nervous cause many chose to bring fish - & one shrimp). Ron, Robin & Mattin in the bottom 3. Mattin sent packing. Brothers Michael & Bryan, Ashley and Lauren (I think) in the top. Bryan won (I think); anyway the brother who had already won 2 other elimination comps won this one too. There is such a big difference in the quality and skill of the chefs this season compared to past seasons!

This episode was very blah for me after last week. I think they really blew their wad early this year. Had they done this challenge before cooking for the Thunderbirds and French royalty, I would have been suitably interested. I watched to see what my top 4 did, though Kevin got robbed being left out of the top 4. Did anyone else notice Mike V's approach to this challenge was a smidge arrogant? His point was you don't change your restaurant menu for every customer that comes in. Very valid except this isn't your restaurant. You aren't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. Part of this whole challenge is to take you out of your comfort zone and see how you do. How adaptable are you? In that case, I think Kevin and Jen probably should have gotten more consideration. If you are just cooking for the judges, why bother having other people/guest challenges there at all? Just go all out iron chef, give them a secret ingredient and let them go at it. Just out of curiosity, in all of your worlds, which judge would be the wicked witch of the west, and which are the flying monkeys? I think Mike I is the wizard (wants you to think he's all that, but when you pull back the curtain, you're left disappointed), Jen gets to be dorothy, Kevin the Lion, Bryan/Mike V get to be the tin man, Ash is the scarecrow, and Ashley is Toto. I don't care enough about the rest to assign them, although I feel bad about that with Ron and Eli.

Having lived in the southwest most of my life, I've eaten cactus in a few forms. Mostly in jelly, and raw. The toughest part is skinning it so you don't get those pricks all over, especially the little, tiny ones, that are microscopic. Those things come back to haunt you!The ones I have eaten have been the tops (blossoms) of the barrell cactus. Those are yummy, just eaten raw, and that's what most people add sugar to, cook down and make sauces or jellies out of. These people were using prickly pear, for whatever reason. Those tend to be squasky, and gooey, if not prepared correctly. Strange that Milan was the one who knew the most about that, isn't it? And the other brother who won (I get them mixed up). I have only had the prickly pear in jelly and candy, so I don't know how they'd taste in any other form. I do know that they are a sticky mess, besides having to pull those thorns off. Most 'normal' people just don't deal with them-they are a novelty in your shops out here, like in Old Tucson, and the Grand Canyon and places like that. Anyway, on to the camp challenge. I still need to look up the word 'chivece' or whatever. Seems everyone is stuck on making that and I haven't a clue. Did I say that before? I can't remember. But darn, I would have just thrown a nice T-bone on the grill, added some fresh corn with herbed butter, and a cool salad (if that's possible in the desert) and called it a day! How many cattle hands really care for all that fancy carp? And Tom throwing Milan's fish away really did it for me. What's the point? These guys are obviously cooking for the judges and not the guests. So, why not just eliminate the guests and cook for the judges, and finish this up? It's all so ridiculous and a waste of food to boot! That's MY not so humble opinion... BTW, not so sure if wood outside a Tee Pee will really keep snakes out. Need to ask a Native American about that, not a Voodoo wannabee.

And don't forget Prickly Pear Syrup, which is lovely when sparingly added to a traditional margarita. And you can find that in almost any supermarket in the Phx area.

Did one of the chefs have trouble with altitude in the finale challenge on one of the seasons? couldn't get water to boil? or had trouble with it? (or maybe the problem was just contemplated, but didn't happen

Kudos! I'd forgotten about that (or maybe I just blocked it out because I generally love this show), but I thought at the time it was a set-up, a thoroughly unfair stunt on the part of the production company.

What's-er-name really should have gone with plan B and tossed out the shrimp if it was smelling bad when she opened up the cooler. A nice sausage sammich for lunch, works for me.
