My mistake to read it wrong. I do want to visit the fine state.
My only experience has been driving thru the Eyre peninsula many moons ago on a surfing/fishing odyssey after uni.
Cactus beach and its environs. Desert. Ocean. Sharks. Not a soul in sight.

I take that as a compliment. As I hope it was intended.
Either way-its fitting.:p

Whoo hoo Cactus was one of my old stomping grounds. Drove there with a blue healer and an Austrian. Definitely preferred the dog.

Could have used a blue healer in those days.It was scary surfing. Renowned shark territorial waters and so vast and devoid of other people. I loved it tho. Remains for me a fave rite of passage. Camping on the dunes with no facilities or nary a soul around.
Didnt see any austrians either. i doubt any tafelspitz would have helped any but to attract more sharks.:p

Youve got maggie at your doorstep and you choose to outsource and use gary. LOL.
As I said. Pure brilliance in wanting to remain anonymous and unvisited.
A win for you sa'ers to enjoy your backyard without us interlopers.:)

I just looked up the ad about Jacobs Creek. Jacobs Creek is hardly a wine I would associate with someone who is supposed to have a refined palette the way he touts he has - its more a wine for the masses for those that want a safe choice when they know little about wine. Any self respecting chef would not be seen dead marketing Jacobs Creek. It really puts into question his taste buds - which lets face it based on the fact he likes the food of the giggly girls that can't cook that was already questionable.

...I took up your advice about watching Anthony's Spain shows kxk... in his 'No Reservations Spain' episode...


...I love how he loved Spanish food so much that he said "I wake up each morning with 'gasper wood' just thinking about their food!"... bwahahahaha!... and when he was watching that Chef creating those 'Faberge' type of chocolate eggs and the Chef put them out in the Sun to let the 'Sun rays do it's work' that Anthony was thinking "wtf is wrong with using a blowtorch on them for 10 seconds?" lol!... and then the Chef starts 'decorating' the eggs by spray painting them with even more chocolate he even said "I wonder what the long term effects are of inhaling chocolate your whole life?"... lol!... I bet that he was thinking of what a pretentious wankfest it all was lol!... but he did tell the Chef just how 'nice' it was just to satisfy the guys ego I'm sure lol!...

...in saying that in the next frame he was in raptures being among 'peasants' while watching what they do with onions etc... he was blown away by their food... he seemed to be more relaxed and at his happiest to me... he loved the Spanish people so much in this episode...

...and... his 'Parts Unknown Spain' episode...


..."and then I get the Bull's horn go up near my nutsack!"... lol!... "now this is what a REAL Bull looks like... 500 freaking Kilo's of aggressive charging 4 legged 'kill dozer' aiming at your meat and 2 vedge!"... bwahaha!... funny as!... and yet again... he seems way more comfortable and at ease with the 'ordinary people' doesn't he?...

...anyhow... I'm going to hunt down the Paris episode next as part of my current 'Bourdain-a-thon'... thanks for the suggestions kxk... and delcan... thanks for starting me on this quest... it's great viewing... cheers.

So it was actually suicide? How awful.

...apparently so... it makes you wonder as to why great people do that doesn't it?... Robin Williams to name but one... I wonder if it's because they are such perfectionists by nature that if they see even one flaw in themselves that it just continuously gnaws away at them until... but no matter for what reason that they died I always just remember how really great that they were all their lives... it's easier for me to digest it and move on... it's like at times when I immerse myself into a flurry of Robin Williams' great movies and shows etc... it makes it all the more easier... cheers.

Yes, nothing can erase their legacy of greatness.
Apparently his girlfriend was another of Harvey Weinstein's victims, and so he was a #metoo supporter, which no doubt contributed to his state of mind.

I wonder who goes home tonight?
It should be Chloe, but I bet it's Janeen instead, the blonde lady in the glasses.
Ben's too good at getting out of pressure tests.

...well Evan44... there are Chloe/Genene/Ben and Hoda in the firing line...out of them all... Chloe is the most useless but her 'young prettiness' will get her through regardless of whether she dropped a steaming turd wrapped in bread crumbs in front of Gary and George... so she's safe... that leaves Genene/Ben and Hoda ... Hoda is by far the best cook of them all so hopefully she is safe (she fuggin' better be of I'll...)... anyway... moving on... I think that Genene and Ben are evenly matched in their 'skills' so I think that it will be either of them that goes if Chloe doesn't (as we all KNOW that she won't be)...

...but!... Genene almost got most of the airtime last night so it makes me wonder whether they were setting her up for the 'goodbye' edit for tonight's show?... so who knows?... as long as Hoda doesn't go home I don't really care about the rest at all... but in saying that... IT SHOULD BE CHLOE GOING HOME!... cheers.

Cracking up at this in particular

2 have pins and one is going for a pin......hardly surprising odds on them
However, MC never used to work like that does it now?

Usually winners evolve, people who peak early tend to die off
Jess looks like a winner to me, she is great to watch cooking, and I just love her
