Oh, her.

Eh.

I thought she was wearing some formal suit or something formal, not jeans. My memory is fuzzy though.

Anyway, she looks cute and nice to me(The woman who lost).

I'll have to check my recording... But I thought she was only okay.

Gomen, I'm picky. :sweat:

This week's battle (from what I recall from the ad that I looked at last night, but was half-asleep): Hokkaido cuisine vs. Okinawa cuisine.

I've got the ad, but I haven't scanned it yet. :sweat:

Yesterday's episode was bore-ing.... Hokkaido Style vs. Okinawa Style.

Okinawa Style won in a rout, 8-1,

How many episodes of Dotch Cooking Show are there?

Lots.

Though some have mentioned that the show has run its course and that it's done.

Didn't watch last night's episode at all though I recorded it... I guess the show's novelty is finally beginning to wear off...

I should really know this, but I think it's a curry battle this week.

*Burp*

Uh, is that "woman" who's a celebrity judge actually a woman?

She's got some bigass arms... :sweat:

Sorry about replying to a months-ago post, but I saw this episode just the other night. Beemer, yes, she is a woman--her name is Kyoko Hamaguchi, and she is one of the most celebrated female athletes in Japan. A freestyle wrestler in a relatively nascent women's sport, she is a 5-time world champion in her weight class (72kg) and is so respected she was chosen to carry the Japanese flag in the opening ceremonies at the Athens Olympic Games. At those games, she took a bronze medal, losing a controversal bout in the semi-finals. The match so upset her dad who coaches her (a former professional wrestler named Animal Hamaguchi--he appeared with her on that Dotch episode) that he had to be physically restrained by security (no small feat if you remember how big and strong he looked). Japan is apparently an international power in women's freestyle wrestling, and Kyoko is that country's biggest name. Despite her intimidating physique, I gather she is a role model for Japanese women, being hardworking, modest, and successful. I think there's also a sympathy factor too, with having a father who publicly boasted about making his daughter cry a lot during training sessions.

Thanks for the background info... With her short 'do and muscular build, I was more than a bit confused. :sweat:

It was 2 - 7, Somen won. Somen also featured a big ice sculptured ice ship which was the bowl for Somen for each winner.

SMAP guy and a woman lost.

There was a scene just before the last voting with the red announcer guy, it looked like he was crying(?) because the women said his comments about the dish he sided on made the dish reflected negatively.

Also, at the end, they made a comment about how his face looked <something>(The red announcer guy) but I missed it and only read "face" part. Does anyone know what they said his face looked like?

Oddly, it was preliminarily 8-1 in favor of the mugitoro, then at the end it was 7-2 in favor of the somen.

And SMAP guy goes hungry.... :hehe:

I'm going with the ebi, the other side just now started with the squid, which means the "guts" can't be far behind :bleh: And what's with those 3 guys that call themselves "instant johnson"? Are they aware of what "johnson" is slang for??? :doh: [/list:u]
