[Sca-cooks] OOP: Wickedly Perfect

[Sue Clemenger]

I watched it...if only to see the Bobbie Flay y'all had been discussing 
(or was that "dissing"?) earlier.
And they actually had 2500 dollars for the budget. <g>  Which actually 
led me to come up with a topic for this list....I'll put it in a 
separate email, though.
It's fairly bad, as reality shows go, but I think that's the editing as 
much as anything.  At least, it's not entirely to my taste (no puns 
intended).  It's funny to see people, selected out of 10s of 1000s of 
applicants, screwing up so badly.
