I think he’d be cranky to be on it in the first place tbh, because for Eliot cooking is something really emotional and personal. He’ll do it commercially, like I assume sometimes he cooks at the brewpub, and he’ll do it for a con, but to do it on a television show like that, I think he’d find it crass (not that I do, but Eliot would). So he’d be on it for a con, I assume, and that’d make him cranky. MURDER EYES. And the con probably would hinge on him losing, but it’s real easy to win by accident on Cutthroat Kitchen, so he’d probably go home with all the money AND a win, forcing Hardison to take his place backstage and do the shit he was supposed to do after losing.
I bet at one point Eliot serves an empty plate in an attempt to lose and still wins because “if he couldn’t make it perfectly he wouldn’t serve me substandard food, and I love the glimpse that gives into the mindset of the chef.” – The Guest Celebrity Judge.
“Okay,
Hardison, I need you to steal a place on the…”
“No.”
Nate
stilled and frowned. Out of the whole crew, Eliot was perhaps the
most reasonable one. So why now…?
“Eliot,
we need to infiltrate the show from the inside to get to our mark, we
need you to participate in it. It’s the easiest way to make you
interesting to Marlow.”
Eliot
breathed sharply through his nose and, after a long while, nodded
curtly.
“Fine,”
he rasped. Nate hummed, satisfied, and was about to give Hardison a
set of instruction when the hitter spoke once more. “But there
is no way I’m cheating my way in. If I do that, I do that right.”
The people you love will change you The things you have learned will guide you And nothing on earth can silence The quiet voice still inside you And when that voice starts to whisper Moana, you’ve come so far Moana, listen, do you know who you are?
when i was a kid diving into prisoner of azkaban for the first time, i very much longed to have tea with professor lupin, even if he did only have tea bags. ♥︎
as much as we all including (especially) me love “wild child teddy lupin” we have to realize that this is rita skeeter and although it is very likely that teddy is a wild child it’s just as likely that he’s a little remus lupin the second who victoire walks all over and who hasnt stopped blushing since that bloody article came out
