Gabriel got eliminated. Gabe is the mole master from Austin.

ONE of the favorites. I think Gabe has been every bit as impressive.

I agree on the masks. I appreciate the sentiment of the episode, but it all felt forced to me, as do most of the cause challenges. It was a good reminder of how bad things were 6-7 months ago, but with everything opening up now, and people trying to get back to a state of normalcy, it fell a little flat for me. That's one of the perils of including current events in something that won't be seen for several months. We are really starting to see separation among the remaining chefs, with the same suspects routinely showing up in the top and the bottom. I like Avashar, but I wasn't surprised to see him eliminated. As I noted earlier, he just doesn't have the experience needed to be consistently good at the challenges. He has good ideas, but can't always execute them. They may not be the next to go, depending on whether the others cook to their potential, but I'm not expecting Maria and Chris to be around much longer unless they have some sort of epiphany. I think any of the other remaining chefs are talented enough to make it to the end, but my current final 3 are: Gabe Sara Dawn I know, I'm really going out on a limb there.

No. We do that for other reasons.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Hospitalization rates for minorities is higher. Maybe we are seeing the results of fewer minorities getting vaccinated?

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
I received my second Moderna dose two weeks ago today, so I am officially fully vaccinated. Both doses were at CVS in Lago Vista, as that was the only place I could find after a week of searching for my first appointment. I had moderate arm soreness for a couple days and mild armpit lymph node tenderness (shot arm only) for a week or so after both. The day after my second dose, I had a few hours of chills and fatigue, but nothing horrible. I celebrated today with a Whataburger, but still wore a mask at the drive-thru window.

We need our CDC first.

They have added more ad hoc prize money for random challenges over the years, which helps as well.

Like many businesses, the food industry was hit really hard by the pandemic. Also, more prize money likely pulls in better contestants. I have no problem with it. I just finished binging LCK. I was really surprised that they actually revealed the winner. Usually you have to wait for the next full episode. I won't spoil, but I'm pleased with the results.

After years of overpaying for AT&T U-verse, I finally have the option to get Google Fiber. I am planning to use YTTV as my main streaming option. One question I have pertains to commercials. I am seeing a lot of conflicting information regarding being able to ff through commercials with YTTV. What is the current state? Realistically, what will I have to be able to tolerate?

2020 - 2021 Dallas Mavericks: That motherfu*ker in Dallas is coming
I feel like we owe LAC, but I'll be happy to avoid the play-in nonsense, and face whatever team we get.

100 Best Sitcoms of All Time
The list feels like it is trying way too hard to be alternative and diverse. I have a lot of problems with the order for those that made the list, but on top of that, I'm wondering where some of these were ranked (some previously mentioned). Family Ties Sports Night The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel The IT Crowd Family Guy The Wonder Years That '70s Show Northern Exposure ...and countless others that will pop into my head later.

[wishful thinking] Maybe with no money from European competitions forthcoming, Kroenke might be slightly more open to selling the club.[/wishful thinking]

Top Chef Portland
I enjoyed that one. I think the correct team went home. That trout was hammered. Gabriel looked like he was really taking it hard. Byron almost got he and Maria sent home by not letting her add her green mole to the plate, but that probably needs to be on her for not being more assertive. Team challenges are tough. I'll have to binge LCK before next week.

2020 - 2021 Dallas Mavericks: That motherfu*ker in Dallas is coming
Somebody chasing isn't gonna drop a game, and will gain on us if we do our Jekyll and Hyde routine against an over-matched Cleveland. I think the "win/loss" sentiment is valid.

What Happens in Your Brain When You Add 47 and 28?
Is someone timing how long each method takes? It may take someone longer to do the "fastest" method, depending on how their brain works. And how is one method more accurate than another if they all produce the correct answer 100% of the time? I personally dump 28 and 47 toothpicks on the floor and then count them all Rainman style.

2020 - 2021 Dallas Mavericks: That motherfu*ker in Dallas is coming
Luka may already be more skilled than prime Dirk, but I'm not sure that he will ever come close in likeability. Maybe it's a generational thing, but the whining doesn't help. That said, I'm really glad he's a Mav, and I hope he stays one his entire career.

Thanks, asshole. Now I have a John Mellencamp song stuck in my head.

I don't mind Maria, but her likability certainly isn't benefiting from the edit she is getting. I guess someone has to fill the "lesbian with attitude" role. I definitely do not think she is as annoying as Gabriel, though overall, this cast is fairly tame in that regard.

Top Chef Portland
No spoilers, no discussion, no nothing. Were all of you glued to the draft? I was hoping they would send Gabriel home for underwhelming poorly executed tots, but he likely shows too much potential and not enough over-the-top cocky doucheness to go this early. Poor Jamie. Someone always has to be the sacrificial lesson reminder about being bullied into making a dish that you don't want. MAKE. YOUR. FOOD. I was really hoping they would give Dawn the win with popcorn, but no such luck. I love me some Fletcher's, but no thank you to whatever the hell that was that Shota served.
