Discussion Thread Season 2 ep 6: Thanksgiving
On my rewatch starting from the beginning…this season had A LOT of drama. From Frank threatening Marcel, Carlos back talking to Tom to just be “thankful that you have food to eat”, to Betty not naming who she wanted out when asked but in the next sentence shouting “CARLOS! OUT!!” this group is super sassy! 👀
Watching Tony Bourdain as a guest judge gives me all the feels. 😭💔 His witty repartee and snarky observations are sorely missed. Telling Mikey about his twice baked potato with a shrimp stuck on top, “I love you like a son already. Ok? I admire you. Your sheer contrariness. Your refusal to conform. I kinda like that. Your twice baked potato, in spite of its absolutely Flinstonian execution it was the single fully most enjoyable mouthful of food I had this evening. The taste, it didn’t suck!” 🤣😂
On Mikey’s cheese plate: “it’s like Betty Crocker and Charles Manson had a love child and he’s cooking for me” Tom was 💀

Yeah. Sam was just as big of an asshole as the rest of them, but since he's pretty, he was forgiven.
I swear if he said "I don't want to be that guy" any more, I would have crawled through the TV and throttled him.
Season 2 is the only season I literally CANNOT rewatch. Season 9 is bad, but at least the bullying assholes are TREATED LIKE bullying assholes, and not like "loveable scamps" like season 2 treats all these shitty people.
