yendiSpoilers ho. If you want to know if Bobby Flay fixed yet another celebrity game show on which he was appearing, click away.
Well, the good news is, Flay was eliminated first, as the loser should have been. His poker skills rival his Iron Chef skills, but without judges who have been paid off, his trip to the Loser's Lounge was assured.
As to the rest of the game, it was fun, but only Kathy Najimy and Michael whatsisface were fun to watch. The others just didn't excite me.
Did anyone notice how misleading the previews were, making it look as if Steve's "can I get a drink" was a reaction to Michael's tipping the waiter?
Steve wasn't the best player -- that was clearly Mimi. But Steve was the luckiest player, and he played solidly in head-to-head.
I loved Kathy's interaction with the host. Truly fun to watch.
Next week: Apu! Woohoo!

Maybe I just still can't get past his horrific 'performance' on Iron Chef, or maybe he just has this arrogant look that somehow rubs me the wrong way, but for whatever reason I just have a strong, if irrational, dislike for him.
