Hey can I get your autograph now that your famous? Just sign it, "From the Fat lady"? All my friends will know what it means.
Let this be a lesson to us all. Maybe we really do not want to know what the judges think?
Other thoughts, welcome to world of IBCA. I have been to KCBS cook offs, and its nice to get all your scores in a row on a piece of paper, and have some idea what the judges gave you on your turn in. At the same time, its just a number, no feed back, no idea why one person scored you a 6, and the other a 9? Prime example from last nights episode, 3 out of 4 judges thought the ribs were undercooked, one thought it was over cooked. In IBCA you get called or not. You either did good, or you were 11th place in everything.
In hind sight, it might have been better for them to turn everything in, and then see the judges comments. A little un=realistic in my book to get instant feed back and be able to adjust in mid stream at a cook. Granted it sucked, but I am really turning into a Jamie Geer fan. The wife is already talking about buying a jambo. The same thing does happen at the judges table though. You will get something that just kills your taste buds, and you cant get it out of your head. Maybe we should go back to giving beer to the judges?
It has been a fun show to watch. Sorry to see we are at the end of the first run of 8 episodes. I am hoping they do more.
Next season things to look for?
Myron cooks Traders Village, I want to see him stuff half a chicken in a muffin pan. Also we have to put Myron next to Higgenbothem? That should really be interesting.
For drama, we have a late night run to the hospital, Johnny Trigg shoots his little toe off trying to get his gun out of his boot. Its ok, its just a flesh wound, and he comes back to take GC at the cook off, but cant carry the trophy with his crutches.
Jamie gets a beer sponsor and has to paint his pit to match the keystone light can. Texas Pete also signs on, and Jamie cant get a call?
LeAnne signs Match light as a sponsor, and wins the American Royal? She is having a bad hair day, and the crown does not fit right?
Paul finally gets a call, but its in Cooks Choice. He turns in cherries jubilee, but is disqualified when they find out it really is his rib turn in.
Tuffy's GPS breaks down, and he gets lost in the panhandle and misses the whole cook off? Or his computer crashes and he cant remember his recipes?
Slap Your Daddy gets a Jack draw for winning the a State Champion Ship in Maine. They get to the Jack, and get DAL when John oversleeps?
Last but not least, I finally get called to join the show. I win the Jack, get reserve at the Royal, and make a bet with Myron that if I win Memphis in May he has to kiss my a$$ on the stage with me holding my trophy. All I can say is Myron cant talk when he is all puckered up!
Hope to see everyone next week at Chilly Chili!
