Damn it! A blogger just went and told me who won top chef. In the FIRST SENTANCE!!! Not even first sentance, but first WORD. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I'm beyond saddened.
People - don't give away juicy tidbits of shows - especially shows that are contests, like, oh, let's say WHO WINS! - without giving us a chance to click away.
I must go cry into my bowl of wheaties now. My whole excitement over watching the end which I have recorded is shot all to hell.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Aw damn. It was good, too, and the suspense held right until the end.
Thanks for rubbing it in Kym.
I TOTALLY hear you. I could probably concur on the the blogger who did it, but I shall refrain. :) It's been on my DVR for 2 extra days now because I have no real desire to watch it now that I know who won. Someone needs to mandate a "SPOILER ALERT" if you're going to give juicy details...
oh no... that SUCKS! i'm a top chef junkie too & was totally pissed about who won (altho i would have been even more pissed if someone had spoiled the ending for me.)
I hate when that happens !
I missed the entire show except for judges table. I also missed the last 3 shows. so I would have been super pissed until I could have caught the marathon. Of course it is all spoiled for me because I saw the last 10 minutes of the finale. stupid subliminal crack in the tv waves- I couldn't change the channel!
Ugh! I couldn't stay up for it on Wed night so I watched it on demand on Thurs (LOVE my Ondemand). I am sorry it was ruined for you. The episode is still worth watching...
Because of your previous post about the cooking shows I started watching The F word and the other one...the one where he helps the restaurants...god I can;t think of the name~ anyway what a hoot Ramsey is! I think I love him. But I know you have 1st dibs..I am not opposed to sloppy seconds :)
Stupid spoilers. My husband is the same way about Survivor so I tease him that I am going to blurt out who was voted off before he watches it. I would never though.
I also nominated you for an award.

lame.
spoiler alerts are our friends, people.
Sorry 'bout that. :) I have an award for you on my blog to make up for it.
Ah, man...that's the worst!
I learned the hard way once -- I was blogging about ANTM -- but months after the fact -- not realizing that in Australia they air the following year and I'd ruined it for a reader -- from then on I try to do the ***spoiler alert**** thing.
Don't worry girl! (i deleted your comment cause I didn't want to point out your identity.)
I have 3 weeks saved because my husband and I watch them together on Sundays after a few have been saved up.
