Episode Report Card Daniel: C- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Burns, Baby, Burns
By Daniel | Season 10 | Episode 9 | Aired on 07.02.2012
My god, what a long, padded-out episode. Time is rapidly slipping away, and we haven't got to a dinner service yet, which I guess explains the "Part 1" part of tonight's episode title. The men burp and fart and presumably talk about pornography or whatever while having lunch, while the women prep the kitchens. Robyn, despite arguably the worst performer in the morning's competition, can't help but keep yapping away, accusing Barbie of using her knife set, but then passive-aggressively passing it off as "everybody gotta respect other people's sets." The rest of the team calls her out on her attitude, but she figures she doesn't have to listen to Kimmie just because Kimmie is three-hundred and fifty pounds.
Robyn, against all common sense, is holding on to the "this is everyone's fault but mine" attitude, and now she can't sleep because Kimmie snores like a buzzsaw. So she bugs out to sleep in the other Red room, only Dana, Barbie and Christina tell her to hit the sofa next time. Can you believe it? Just because they don't like being awoken by a hooded figure skulking into the room at 5:30 a.m.?
So she goes out to complain at Tiffany, Royce and Justin about how catty females are, and this is why she doesn't have any female friends. You know, I don't know I've ever heard a woman on a reality show complain about how awful OTHER women are, and that's why she doesn't have any female friends, and felt anything but sympathy for EVERY OTHER WOMAN.
Over in Blue, we see, for the first time, Patrick kneeling in front of pictures of his kids, and praying for himself to win and asking for their prayers for him to win, because that's exactly what the Bible says you should do, right? Pray for selfish ends, right? Oh, quit crying, Patrick. No one's forcing you to be here.
Hey, who haven't we had a problem with before? What other previously unaired characteristics can come into play now? All of a sudden, Justin's a micromanager who gets on people's nerves a little bit, making sure all their stations are ready. And Barbie tattles on Tiffany to Chef Andi because Tiffany's onions are too thick. Tiffany calls Barbie the HBIC: Head Bitch in Charge. "She needs to mind her own business," says Tiffany, which isn't exactly the epitome of team spirit.
Christina's concerned because they're half-an-hour from dinner service, and a fight's breaking out between Tiffany and Barbie. Tiffany warns Barbie not to fuck with her -- or at least, she says it about Barbie in the kitchen somewhat passive-aggressively -- and adds it would help if Barbie could cook on a line before she started running her mouth.
