4/17 Show Discussion Thread **Spoilers**

Is Alan Thicke the only "celeb" they could find to host this show?

[Unklescott]

Nice hat Gael Green. Did you get that at Michael Jackson's garage sell?
Oooo, a twist. 2 missing ingredients. WTH are they going to do?

[Krom]

Is Boy George under that hat?

Missing ingredients! What a twist! Wow! And Country Crock! Mmmmmmmmm!

Hey. I was totally guessing about that "Ready Set Cook" thing. Really.

Man, Alan Thicke's totally smarmy voice makes me want to put forks through my eardrums.

2 missing ingredients. WTH are they going to do?

I'm not sure if they are supposed to find it in the pantry, or if they are supposed to deduce what a good substitute would be...

Lobster's got to be the most cruelly prepared food out there.

But so tasty.

I just can't cook it at home, I can't bear putting the little suckers in the boiling water.

Lobsters supposedly have a very elemental nervous system. Apparently they kind of have two states--knowing they are alive and not being alive.

Cindy's husband owing a restaurant probably favors her, even if she can't cook. It means she's been exposed to a wide variety of foods.

So the Chefs just stand on the side and play lamer with Thicke? I mean other than the initial off-screen training? (EDIT - apparently they can come in for a bit later. Got it. And pose with the kitchen appliances for the contest...)

I still don't get the point of the missing pantry items. To see the model running in her heels? Tons o' Boob shots will be had of Cindy, apparently, running or not.

I wonder if Thicke actually knows what these people are doing. Does he have a script? Is it actually dubbed in post-production? An earpiece with Wolfgang on the other end we aren't hearing? P. Diddy pointing a gun at him if he doesn't get it right?

This is one hyper crowd.

[MsFroggy]

How are people supposed to decide who is going to do better if they can't taste the food?? I'm not quite seeing the point of the whole thing...

[DesertRose]

I hope we get the recipes of the prepared dishes. They look delicious.

[Krom]

They are being fed.

Popularity contest? This IS reality TV, so why are we surprised?
